When I picked up my December Kloverbox today I noticed that the box was a lot larger and heavier than it’s been in past months. I’ve yet to be disappointed in any of their boxes since they’ve launched over the summer, so I was anxious to see what was inside.

Ipsy Glam Bag December 2014 Review
Ipsy time! December’s Glam Bag theme is “Thinking of You” and is a shoutout to all of the subscribers who made Ipsy a part of their lives in 2014. So in relation to the actual products, there’s not really a theme at all. Hey, as long as the products are decent, I’m totally fine with vague (or absent) themes.
For those not aware, Ipsy is a beauty subscription that sends subscribers a monthly “Glam Bag” full of cosmetics and beauty accessories for just $10/month. When you sign up, you take a “beauty quiz” to determine your likes/dislikes, makeup preferences, etc. This helps Ipsy learn which products to send in your Glam Bag. Each bag will contain 4-6 full sized and deluxe sample sized products from top cosmetics brands. [read more…]
Glossybox November 2014 Review & FREE Gift
Glossybox had a great coupon code for Black Friday (actually it was a glitch) that made your first box just $1.00 shipped. I couldn’t pass that up, so I quickly went to their site and scored one. Soon after, the glitch was fixed (it was supposed to take 20% off, not $20), but Glossybox was awesome enough to honor the $1 orders in the system. Yay!
Glossybox is a monthly beauty subscription box that sends 5-6 deluxe sized samples packed inside a super sturdy, reusable box. The packaging is top notch and only the highest quality brands are included. Like many of the other beauty subscriptions, you’ll fill out a personal beauty profile when you sign up so that they can send products that best suit your lifestyle, skin type, etc. [read more…]
Bluum December 2014 Review & Coupon Code
I was excited to see my December bluum box sitting on my porch this morning. However, I wasn’t too thrilled that the mailman left it right in a puddle of water. Thankfully nothing was damaged and it turned out to be a LOT better box than last month’s questionable offering.
If you’re not aware, bluum is a monthly subscription box for babies & kiddos from birth through age 5. Each box contains five or more products that are responsibly sourced, eco-friendly and often organic. The contents are based on the age of your kiddo in months, so boxes tend to vary a LOT. I really love this about bluum, since I’m never really sure just what I’ll see when I open their big red box. [read more…]
