The August Naturebox! Yum!

I just received my August Naturebox in the mail.  I purchased a three month subscription when Naturebox was featured on Plum District for half price.  I'm trying to eat healthier and I thought this might help me. Here is the July Box!

You get four to five full sized snack packages in each box.  This month there was five =).  I should also tell you all of the Naturebox snacks are made with No High Fructose Corn Syrup, No Partially Hydrogenated oils, No Trans Fats, No Artificial Sweetners, No artificial flavors and No artificial colors.


The first two are Mexicana Mango and Far East Rice Crackers!  I have tried both and really enjoy them.  I especially like the Mexicana Mango because mango is one of my favorite fruits! 

The last three are Maui Onion Crunch, Dried Fancy Figs, and Bombay Curried Cashews.  I have tried the Maui Onion Crunch and it is delicious!  I've also tried the Bombay Curried Cashews which are good.  I'm not all that much into curry.  However, My husband loves curry and enjoys these.  I have never tried dried figs so I'm a little hesitant but I know my sister in law likes them so...we will give it a go...when I'm really hungry or feeling brave.  I am not really an adventurous eater and I know figs are not really adventurous but still for me it's a little adventurous.


I'm really pleased with the subscription so far.  I will get it for two more months then decide if I want to continue it at full price.  Naturebox is 19.95 per month and you get healthy snacks delivered to directly to your home.  If you would like to try it you can use this promo code:  REFER25 and you will get 25% off of your first box!  The website is www.naturebox.com 

 Have a great day!

THE JULY POPSUGAR MUST HAVE SUBSCRIPTION

I am really excited about monthly subscriptions.  I just added a new one to my list. It is POPSUGAR's MUST HAVE monthly subscription!  It is a pricier one at 35.00 per month.  However, they promise at least 100.00 worth of merchandise in each box.  Popsugar promises full size products and premium items. I believe earlier they promised 150.00 in each box but since the first box has come out they have lowered it to 100.00. 

I was skeptical about this box but I thought I would give it a try.  After all I work hard and wanted to treat myself so I decided to try this.  My first impression is that I really like it.  I was worried when the website lowered the value to 100.00 but I really like my box.  Here is what the July box contains:


Here is what it looks like when you open it!!  Exciting!!


It comes with a Canvas Bag.  The bag is a really nice quality with a zip closure and two slip pockets inside!

All of the contents in the bag!!


2 Kind Bars - Madagascar Vanilla Almond & Cashew & Ginger Spice - I have tried these before at Starbucks and really love them!

2 Body Drench Products - One Lotion in Pomegranate Crush and one Body Scrub in Raspberry Gelee.  I have never heard of Body Drench before but the products smell divine and I can't wait to try them!


2 RGB Nail Polish Boxes.  The one on the left is Doll and the one on the right is Minty!  Very Cute! I have heard of this brand but never tried it before.

2 Lip Products by ILIA - The one on the left is a tinted lip conditioner in Bang Bang. The one on the right is a lipstick in In My Room. I have not heard of this brand but the quality of the packaging is nice.  Definitely look forward to trying it!

That is my July Box.  Popsugar Musthave is going to feature more than just beauty items.  Popsugar is hinting that next month's box will contain  home essentials.... We shall see.  If you want to take a look at the Popsugar Musthave Program check it out here http://popsu.gr/glN

The JULY GLOSSYBOX US Edition

I have mixed feelings about Glossybox!

Glossybox is a monthly subscription program that costs 21.00 per month for beauty samples.  Some items are full size and some are deluxe samples. I just got my Glossybox in the mail today.  I can tell you I was super excited about this subscription when it first came out but not so much anymore.  I am thinking of cancelling. This may be my last one.


 The packaging is pretty as always. I love the actual boxes and use them to store other things in.  This box is called Summer Nights.

I received four items and a "surprise treat."  However, I was supposed to receive five items.  The items I received are:  Sebastian color Ignite Multi Tone Shampoo and Conditioner, Figs & Rouge Lip, face and body balm, Alessandro International Pedix Heel Rescue Balm, and the surprise treat is the Blushed fragranced towelette. I was supposed to receive the Senna Cosmetics Mineral Eyes Shadow Trio.  However, it was missing from my box.

I will contact Glossybox to see if they will help me with this. Anyhow, not too excited about this box.  I have seen Glosybox in other countries and the products are more exciting.  I really disliked last months box so I may be giving this one up.

However, there are no worries.  There are tons of new subscription services out there or I will just save the 21.00 and buy something I know I really like =).  If you want to check out glossybox check it out here: www.glossybox.com
