From the Lab July 2015 Review & $5 Shop Credit

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

I haven’t received a From the Lab box since February, so I kinda thought the subscription was gone for good. — Guess I thought wrong!

If you’re new to them, From the Lab is a monthly beauty box that sends you luxury brand beauty products at a drastically lower cost — months before they’re released to the US market. They source their products from some of the same beauty labs that luxury brands develop their lines in. However, they’re able to offer them at a much lower cost because they don’t do extensive marketing campaigns or worry about pretty packaging. This also allows them to get the products to you as early as 18 months before they hit store shelves. [read more…]

GlobeIn laundry box

GlobeIn‘s August 2015 Artisan box will be “Laundry” themed! And the first spoiler is out…

Every box will contain a set of 3 handmade 100% wool dryer balls (a $15 value)!

dryer balls

Wool dryer balls are a chemical-free and eco-friendly alternative to dryer sheets and liquid fabric softener as they decrease drying time and naturally soften your clothes. Just toss them in with your clothes for more softness on the other side!

These dryer balls were handmade exclusively for GlobeIn’s customers in Kyrgyzstan, where wool is a way of life. (The country is world-famous for its shyrdak felt rugs.) The wool balls were made by artisans of Altyn Kol Women’s Cooperative. The cooperative employs over 1,000 craftswomen and serves as one of few sources of cash income available to the region’s remote farming and shepherding villages.

If you’d like to sign up for the GlobeIn artisan box, you can save 25% on your first month of a 3-month subscription when you use coupon code “WELCOME” at checkout!
