APRIL GOODIES BOX!

APRIL GOODIES BOX!

I finally got my Goodies box in the mail, that is now two months in a row that I have gotten my box late, but I still can't help but love this company! There is one plus of the boxes being late which is Goodies gives you and extra 150 points when your box shows up the next month. So since my last two boxes were late I get a free box,  it takes 300 points to get a free box! Plus with other points I have saved up I'm close to having another free box! 



There are 7 item in the box this month and as you can see I already opened up two items before taking pictures!

The first product I noticed was the Celsius Raspberry Acai Green Tea. I have not tried this yet, it is actually in my fridge getting cold for me =]

Angie's Popcorn Sweet & Salty Kettle Corn- this was so delicious! I don't usually like kettle corn because it is too candy-ish for me but this is the perfect blend! 

Green Giant Multi grain Sweet Potato Chips in Sea Salt- these taste just like the original Sun Chips, it does not taste anything like sweet potato.

Olomomo Nuts in Chai Bliss Almonds- I was weary about these at first after reading that they were chai flavored, but surprisingly they were good!

True Bar in Apricot Almond- I haven't tried this yet, it is currently in my purse ready for if I am out and my son needs a quick snack!

Zone Bar in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough- Eating this is literally like eating raw cookie dough, so if you like cookie dough this is the bar for you!

Last but not least a $50 wine gift card- I received two of these this month, one from Goodies and one from Cravebox. I covered the password on this one because my mom wants it but in my Cravebox post (HERE) there is the information available if you would like it if it hasn't already been taken =]



MY SECOND GRAZE BOX!

MY SECOND GRAZE BOX!

I have absolutely been loving Grazebox! It is a healthier alternative for snacking and in my opinion a great price!! I have mine set to come every other week but I am really tempted to change it to every week. The first box is free and if you give someone your referral code (believe me someone will want it!) you can get $1 off your second box and your 5th box is free as well! At $5 per box it is well worth it! I wish that I had a code to give you guys but my referral has already been used. I think that is the only downside of Graze, you have to have an invite/referral code to join and each member can only give their code to one person. 


The contents of this box are:

Apple Cinnamon Flapjacks- I haven't tried this yet.

Toffee Apple- This was so good! I wish that I could order full size of these!

Pomodoro Rustichella- Cheese croutons, tomato baguettes & tomato and herb almonds. I loved this, so delicious!!

Pear Tatin- pear, raspberry cranberries, yogurt coated seeds & almonds. I haven't tried this yet. 

CRAVEBOX GIRLS NIGHT IN!

CRAVEBOX GIRLS NIGHT IN!

Hello everyone!! I am so excited, I got my very first Cravebox! I like this company because you can decide by the title and clues what kind of box it is and whether or not you want to purchase it! As soon as I saw the Girls Night In I knew that I wanted it! This box cost $14 and I have to say that I am amazed at the quality of the products!






 The first item I saw in the box was this bottle of fruit2o in Strawberry. I have actually purchased this brand of flavored water multiple times in the past and will continue to purchase it as an alternative to drinking soda. 
Retail for individual is around $1.



Hills Bro's Cappuccino mix in French Vanilla! 
This is another product that I regularly purchase and love! I actually have not ever bought this flavor, I usually get the Double Mocha, but this is sooo good!! (Go Hawks!!)
Retail price $3.24.



Neutrogena Revitalizing Lip Balm in Fresh Plum.
I like that this is very tinted as you can tell and it it very smooth, I can feel it hydrating my lips! 
Retail price $8.99

Zaca Recovery Patch 2 pack
I think these are pretty cool, I don't go out drinking too often but these will be nice for the morning after drunk bowling lol 
Retail price for 2 is about $7.93



I made my mom model  the scarf for you =] 
This scarf is a breast cancer awareness item, it is really beautiful and thin so it is perfect for Spring!


Tree Hut Renewing Hand Cream in Moroccan Rose 3 OZ.
This literally smells AMAZING!! I wish that you could scratch and sniff the computer to smell this! I keep opening it up to smell it and randomly smelling my hands, I'm sure people that are around me think that I am crazy lol!




Two nail polishes from The Mindy Project and New Girl and a nail file board! It is only one file with pictures on the front and back. The Mindy Project is a really pretty sparkly purple and the New Girl is a very creamy light pink! I love that these shows are promoting themselves in a different way by using nail polish and nail files! That is way better than commercials and advertisements in magazines! 


Last but not least a $50 Wine 'Gift Card'.
I actually got one of these in my Goodies box this month too so I made the code visible so that if anyone wants to take it they can have it!

Overall this box was absolutely amazing! I thought it was well worth the $14 price and can't wait to get another Cravebox in the future! 


LOVE WITH FOOD!

LOVE WITH FOOD + DISCOUNT CODE!


Hey everyone!! I just wanted to let you know that I signed up for yet another subscription lol, I know I really need to stop! I just signed up for Love With Food, which from the title I'm sure you realized it is a monthly food box! I have seen some reviews and it looks promising to me! It only costs $12 per month ($10 + $2 shipping) and with the code FBGIFT you can get your first month free, only pay $2 shipping! As I said I just signed up and it says that my first billing date will be June 1st and my first box will ship June 10th!

APRIL BEAUTY BOX 5!

APRIL BEAUTY BOX 5!

I subscribed to a couple new boxes this month and one of the new ones that I decided to try is Beauty Box 5. I heard about Beauty Box 5 through a Youtube channel that I am subscribed to called Pearls and Daggers the girl on there is absolutely adorable and I love watching her videos! So after seeing a few unboxing videos I decided to sign up for it! Beauty Box 5 costs $12 per month, if you would like your own Beauty Box 5 click Here. 

This is what I got in my first box!



The first item is some Oil-Absorbing facial Tissues by Jean Pierre. This comes in a pack of 50! I love these, especially with summer approaching so these went straight into my purse! This retails for $1.99.


LA FRESH Instant Body Smoother Wipes x2
Retail for about $0.40 each



Model Co. Illusion Lip Pencil in Nude. 
I like having a nude lip liner because it can work well with many different shades. I like this pencil because it is very smooth and doesn't feel dry on my lips.
Retails for $20.


Minxxette Small Brush Hanger.
I am excited for this product! I always dry my brushes on a cloth and when they sit on it for so long it flattens half of the brush, so this will definitely come in handy!
Retails for $4.99.



The last product that I received is an eyeshadow from Brazen Cosmetics in Birthday Suit. It is a nude/natural brown, it is very pretty! 


Overall I really enjoyed this month's box and cannot wait to see what comes in May's box!! 


MAY BEAUTY ARMY BOX!

MAY BEAUTY ARMY BOX!!

Hello everyone!! So before I start I just want to apologize and say that I will be using pictures from the Beauty Army site today, when I got the box I got a little excited and opened stuff up. It also didn't help that I am visiting my mom while I  and she decided that she wanted a couple of the items I got. This month's box came with 8 products instead of the usual 6 because there was a couple of mess ups in my last box. 

Without further ado, here is what came in my May box:


 This was such an awesome box!! I know that a lot of people do not like getting tea in their box but I really enjoyed both of these flavors! As soon as I opened the box I made the Vanilla Bean tea, I am definitely going to purchase a box of it! 
I am also going to purchase a box of the chocolate tea because it is so yummy!  
I personally am not a fan of the Nelson J Argan Oil Shampoo, only because I don't like how it doesn't foam up; the reason I picked it was because my mom loves it so I decided to be a good daughter and get it for her!

I will show you one 'in person' picture of the NAILUV polish


This color is a very pretty bright and vibrant pink! The only downside to getting this is that you need to have an LED lamp in order to use it. I didn't want to swatch it on my nail, but I am going to go pick me up an LED light and I will update with some photos!

Overall I absolutely love Beauty Army and have been subscribed to them for awhile and will continue my subscription. I love that no matter what you get 6 items and you get to pick those items and the products always come in a cute box (I hoard them lol)! I also love that if you do not like the options  for samples you can skip a month, which you cannot do with most beauty subscriptions, so for $12 per month I am a happy girl! If you would like to sign up for Beauty Army you can click HERE.

APRIL BULU BOX!

APRIL BULU BOX!

Hello everyone! This month I signed up for a couple new monthly box subscriptions, just what I need right, lol! I found the Bulu box through another blog, and I wanted to try it. This subscription is a "healthy" subscription where you pay $10 per month for a variety of about 5 items. I picked the weight loss box because I am really wanting to shed some pounds! The first box I got was free!! If you would like a free box use the code FIRSTFREE you can sign up using my link if you would like, CLICK HERE. I think the weight loss box is sold out but the regular box is available, and you might as well try it since it is free right?

So to the fun part, the contents of the box!



The first item I got was a DR. Denese Glow Younger Self Tanning Glove.
On the website a pack of 12 gloves retails for $42, so this sample is worth $3.50. 
I will be giving this to a friend or maybe if someone on here wants it you can either comment or email me at marinewife22bb@yahoo.com and I will mail it to you =] I am very pale so I do not use any kind of tanning products.


Natural Energy EBOOST Energy Booster in Pink Lemonade. 
I already had this and it is so good! I drank it to give me a little more energy before     doing some Pilate's. I like Eboost because it does have a good taste without giving off that weird tangy after taste. A box of twenty retails for $28 making this sample worth $1.40 


 Shroom Tech Advanced ATP Energy Supplements 

I was a little nervous about these when I got them but after doing some research I do plan on trying them. They are Vegan and contain only natural ingredients so I really like that! You can buy this sample pack on there website, Here for $3.75. 


This is a 'real food' barre, I got it in the flavor Black Swan Chocolate Berry. I actually really enjoyed this and it would work well for me to diet with since it could satisfy my chocolate cravings lol! One bar retails for $2.50


CLICK Vanilla Latte Packet
I was pretty excited when I saw this in the box, I love my lattes and this seemed like an awesome product. This drink actually targets and helps you to lose weight. It did have a good taste and I am tempted to buy more! One packet retails for $2.95.


30 minute workout DVD: worth about $3.28. I haven't tried this yet but I am excited to try it out!

All together this box is worth a little over $17, so for being free it was amazing! I am sticking with Bulu for at least another month since I did enjoy the products in this month's box. Although, next month I am trying out the regular box instead of the weight loss one.
