NEW BOX ALERT- WOD Box January 2015

Admittedly this is not the first The WOD Box that I have received , but from here on out I will try to do better on reviewing what is coming in them!
Here are photos of the first 2 boxes I received:

My first box. I loved the leopard print headband and the AMRAP sticker! Those bean chips were yummy too....






















My second box. My favorite stuff was the RIPT kit (which is the friggen bomb) and the Driven Nutrition whey protein in Cinnamon Bun. I ended up ordering it because it was so delicious! Honorable mention to the dark chocolate covered coconut chips that were quite tasty!









                                         

                                  

Which brings me to January's box. This month had this awesome cold wrap thing for sore muscles and a delicious "the Complete Cookie" which is vegan. I am also looking forward to using the China Gel sample. This month felt more like a supplement subscription box. I hope next month has more crossfit related stuff like the first two!

All in all, it's not a bad sub box if you are looking for some healthy snacky things and like getting some gear stuff related to athletics.

Ipsy Glam Bag- January 2015

I love getting this bright pink bubble wrap envelope in the mail. I even save the envelopes and reuse them to send things out to people!

And here are the goodies in the January 2015 Ipsy Glam Bag!!

(Malin+Goetz) Mojito Lip Balm- Ok, let me  just tell you how much I like mojitos and that I was stoked to get this in the glam bag! I was rationing out the first tube of this lip balm that I received in a different box a while back and now I don't have to be so stingy! This is a color free lip product that leaves your lips glossy, soft, hydrated, and tasting yummy. (Sidenote: I have the detox face mask from this brand that I love too! It oxygenates on your skin and tingles and feels awesome.)

Elizabeth  Mott All Over Shadow Brush- Yey! I got another brush this month and I am always appreciative of tools. Tried it, liked it, and love the pink color!

Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow- This is a great blending color. I have used this in my crease as a color to blend darker colors into. It is very complimentary to my tanned complexion and very natural looking with a touch of shimmer.

Bella Pierre Shimmer Powder- I have to be honest, I haven't had a chance to use this yet. It is a loose shimmer powder meant to be worn on the eyes. I think it would look nice with the Coconut eye shadow and maybe some black blended into the outer corner focusing more of the shimmer on the center of the lid....we shall see!

Probelle Into The Blue Laquer-  I have yet to use this polish as well. I am kind of waiting until Spring or Summer to put this color on my toes! It is DBP, Toluene, and Formaldehyde Free which is awesome!

And there it is, the first Ipsy Glam Bag of 2015! Not bad for just $10 a month.

Glossybox- January 2015

Here it is! The first Glossybox of 2015 and I couldn't be more pleased!

Kueshi Revitalizing Toner- I fell in love with this toner after using it only a couple of times. Unlike other toners, it left my skin feeling soft and moisturized and it did not leave a residue on my skin. Might have something to do with the second ingredient being aloe vera!

Lollipops Eye Pencil in "Goodbye Moon"- Can we just take a second to appreciate the pink packaging with the adorable leopard print?!?!?! The eye pencil is a very pigmented black and it goes on very smoothly and can be smudged for smokey eyes. It also has vitamin E in it!

Teeez Trend Cosmetics Stiff Flat Brush- Let me just post a picture of this beauty up close and out of the box....

The picture does not do this brush justice. It is gorgeous! It also works like a charm. I love when Glossybox includes tools in their boxes, especially when they are as unique as this!

Skin & Co. Roma Truffle Therapy Serum- They have sent this in previous boxes, but I am not complaining! I love this stuff! Not only does it smell amazing but it makes my skin incredibly soft and bright. Maybe one day I will invest in a full sized bottle for myself.

Vichy Purete Thermale 3-in-1 Step Cleanser- I loved the other Vichy products in past boxes and this cleanser did not disappoint! My skin felt hydrated and fresh after cleansing and there was reduced redness.

Again this box proves its worth ($21 a month) by including a make up brush valued at $23 and a full sized product valued at $13 so if you haven't signed up yet and you are inspired to after seeing this, do so here.
I can't wait for next month's Valentine's themed box they have been showing pictures of on Instagram!

2015- New Year, New Me, New Things

I have slacked soooooooooo badly with the blogging this year. I had gotten out of the habit of reviewing my sub boxes but I did do my paleo challenge blog! I hope to add more posts about my meal prepping and recipes I have found to try on maybe a separate blog.

Now that January is here I am going to attempt to get in my blogs at least for my sub boxes which are currently the Ipsy Glam Bag, The WOD Box, Glossybox, and Bentley's Bark Box.
I cancelled quite a few of my box subs because I felt I was getting too many repeats of the same types of items or just cheap filler products, especially from the Fancy Box and the Pop Sugar Must Have box. Sadly, those were my favorites at one point in time but they have really gotten a little chintzy as of late. Possibly, when I am out of school, I will sign up for them again to see if anything has changed.

I have changed the look of my page and I hope that it looks cleaner and fresher! My goal is to improve the look of the page and the layout so that reading my reviews can be quick and easy and straight to the point. Who knows, I may try a vlogg this year.......

So here is to a new year and a new outlook on things!!
