by Wendy Rose — 24 Comments

Send Me Gluten Free is a brand new subscription service that offers a monthly box of gluten-free goodies delivered right to your door!

While the monthly box may be new, the folks behind Send Me Gluten Free have been heavily involved in the gluten free community for quite some time. They’ve been hosting Gluten & Allergen Free Expos since 2007 and consider this new venture to be sort of like “an expo in a box” for those who aren’t able to attend their expos. — An easy alternative way to discover great new gluten-free products in the convenience of their own homes.

Boogie Wipes & Boogie Mist Review and Giveaway! Ends 9/3/14

by Wendy Rose — 20 Comments

I first learned of Boogie Wipes back when I was still pregnant with my girls. I noticed a package of them in a baby store and decided to add them to my registry “for giggles”. (Uh… Boogies are still funny in your 30’s, right?)

I foolishly assumed they were just dampened tissues with a silly name and that I’d probably not have much of a use for them… Sooo not true! [read more…]

From the Lab Luxury Beauty July 2014 Box Review & $30 Store Credit!

by Wendy Rose — Leave a Comment

labbox

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.

From the Lab gets its products from some of the same beauty labs that luxury brands develop their lines in. However, they’re able to offer them at a lower cost since 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 the US market.

All of the products offered by From the Lab are held to strict European safety standards and are fully tested and approved before being accepted by them. All of the formulas are also cruelty/animal-free (yay!) and contain only clean ingredients. Each shipment will contain a 30-day supply of 1 to 3 skin care, hair care, or cosmetic items. Boxes are $29.95/month (includes shipping!), or less with longer commitments.

Alright, let’s see what’s in July’s box, shall we? [read more…]

by Wendy Rose — 1 Comment

ecobox

Ecocentric Mom is a great subscription box service that features mom & baby products that are eco-friendly, natural, organic, and often vegan-friendly. There are 3 different box options to choose from. As always, I received the “Mom & Baby” box. The other two options available are a “Mom-to-Be Box” and just a plain ol’ “Mom” box.

Subscriptions are $24/every-other-month, but they often have discount codes available that are usually good for the life of your sub. (I was able to score a discounted subscription not too long ago and now my boxes are only $18/month. Not bad!)

Let’s see what was inside the July/August “Mom & Baby” box! [read more…]

Citrus Lane July 2014 Review #2 and Code for $20 Off First Box!

by Wendy Rose — 1 Comment

Here’s my second Citrus Lane box for July. My mom also has a subscription for the girls that she aged up a bit, so I get to review two boxes. Woo! (Sadly, I think this is her last month… Boo.)

Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription for babies/kids aged newborn-5. It’s $29/month (cheaper with longer subs) and includes a nice assortment of toys, books, snacks, toiletries, etc. Sometimes they even include a gift for mom.

This month’s box featured products that are great for travel and “on-the-go”. As always, I had already seen plenty of spoilers and pretty much knew what would be in my box. That said, I was still excited to see (confirm?) what was inside. Also, I have no idea exactly how old my mom aged up her box, so I’m never quite sure what range it falls in.

From the looks of other reviews, I’d say we probably got a 3-year old’s box or close to it. Okay, so let’s see what’s inside, shall we? [read more…]

Ipsy Glam Bag July 2014 Review

by Wendy Rose — 2 Comments

ipsy

Ipsy is a beauty subscription that sends subscribers a monthly “Glam Bag” full of cosmetics and beauty accessories. This is my fourth month with them (you can see my other reviews here).

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.

Ipsy is only $10/month and offers a nice rewards program that gives you points for reviewing your products and referring friends to join. Points can be redeemed for “bonus items” in your next bag. Awesome!

Ipsy sends a lot of different variations each month, so you’ll see that other subscribers got totally different products than you did. Hopefully your beauty quiz answers match you with products that most meet your needs… But honestly, even if I only get a couple items that “fit” me, I still consider it a good value since many of them are deluxe samples or full sized. You almost always get your money’s worth (and then-some)!

Let’s see what goodies July’s bag brought… [read more…]
