Fab Fit Fun ~Winter Box~

I was seeing reviews everywhere of the Fab Fit Fun boxes. So of course I had to give it a try. And I'm honestly pleasantly surprised. I really liked my first box.

Inside was 9 items

1. Candlenut Body Creme by Juara
I really liked the smell of this boxy creme. I put it on about an hour ago now, and my hands are still soft. Only complaint, it does leave my hands a bit greasy.

2. Wine Stopper & Charm 
Cute! I'm a dork I guess, but these little guys were too cute! And of course I had to crack open a bottle of wine so we could use them...

3. Travel set with special cleansing gel, toner, and skin smoothing cream by Dermalogica.
Ok I was scared to use this. I have super sensitive skin but I figured I would give this a shot.

4. Fingerless Gloves 
Super cute! These arrived at the most perfect time. The Weather Channel is calling for a chance of snow here in South Carolina this weekend. These gloves are surprisingly warm. Just a tad itchy but I'm going to see if I can wash them, and soften them up a bit.

5. Diffuser (Sugar Cookie Scent)
This smells sooo good! I have a thing for sugar cookie scents...Don't judge me....

6. Nail Polish by Zoya (color Dakota)
Yay nail polish! I have a thing for nail polish, what more can I say???

7. The Donna Earbud
Eh they are earbuds. I don't use them, but I will give them to my husband who will get good use of them.

Ok here's where things get kind of iffy. I don't think these items should be included. I would have much rather gotten actual items

8. $40 Gift card to Sweet & Spark
Like I said, I would have rather gotten actual items instead of this gift card.

9. $25 Gift card to Shoptiques 
Ditto on the items instead

Overall I'm super happy with what I received in this box! I do really wish I wouldn't have gotten gift cards, instead of items. But I'm not going to complain that much...humm....
Oh I also received 3 Free meals from Hello Fresh, BUT you have to sign up for a subscription...Really??? I mean Really??? Oh well....

BarkBox ~January 2016~

Well this is my last BarkBox. Honestly for the cost, it's just not worth it for my dogs. They are in Love with the toys, but so far have only liked maybe 2 treats. Anyway let me get down to the box. This month's box is Bark & Co. Peace, Ruv & Happiness.

This is a Hippy Themed Box

So after having to search their site, I finally found what was inside my box. Apparently now they do not include an info card....Ugh...They want you to download their app. No thank you....

Anyway

Inside was 5 items.

1. Ozzie the Hippie ~ This was a big hit with my dogs! Unfortuntaly Ozzie is now missing an arm and his leg is just about gone...

2. Elk Chew ~ This was gone fast. I mean fast...I ordered the large box, but this treat was made more for a smaller dog. Mine ate it in one gulp and choked...And Yes I was supervising him

3. Lucy's Magic Bus Toy ~ Another hit here. The dogs were fighting over who got to play with it first! Well not really fighting but a lot of tug of war going on...

4. Ziggy's Disco Fries ~ Yeah no. All 3 dogs hated these. I mean I have one who will eat almost anything, and he wouldn't touch this treat. 

5. Some type of duck treat~ I can't find this on the website anywhere and I'm too lazy to go down stairs and get the name....This was actually a hit. It was soft enough to break into pieces, so each dog was able to eat off of the same piece. 

Sam with Ozzie the hippie

Over all 3 out of 5 items my dogs liked. But like I said this will be their last box. They get excited to see the box come in the mail, but to spend so much money on 2 toys...I plan to save the box and just fill it full of toys every month. I really wish BarkBox would come out with a toy only box. Depending on the cost and if you can pay every month or not, that would probably be something I would get. 

BoxyCharm ~January 2016~

So this is my first BoxyCharm box. I've been debating for a while now, on getting this subscription box. The cost was what was throwing me off, but I figured you only live once! So ba ba baaaa (yeah that was a drum roll)...On to the box.

Inside I found 4 full sized items

1. Blinc Mascara Amplified

So I'm a little iffy on this mascara. It says it puts "tubes" on your lashes. Apparently it will give you volume and is water resistant. With the "Tubes" you are suppose to be able to apply as many coats as you want without clumping. Humm I don't know..I might give this a try. Key word...Might...

2. Coastal Scents Reveled Smoky

I'm actually excited about this shadow palette. There are a lot of deep colors, which I am a fan of. 

3. Royal & Langnickel Brush Set

Hey who can complain, it's a brush set! I love brushes. These are 100% vegan, synthetic fibers. 

4. Starlooks Luxe Eye Liner Pen

I've heard a lot of people say this is a great eye liner. So far it does seem like an awesome eye liner. I will get back to you on it though. 

Overall I do like the box. I'm still not sure if I'm sold on the $21 a month though. But this was my first box, so I have to at least give it another try. Until Next Month! 

Freeman Face Mask's

I am way obsessed with these Face Mask's. I have another review up on Freeman's Chocolate & Strawberry mask. Oh my gosh that mask smells soooo good. I swear it smells exactly like chocolate and strawberry! And it makes my face feel so soft and really helps get rid of the dry patches I get. So of course since I'm running low, I had to stock up.....At least that's what I am telling the hubby....Shh

Let me just List the masks I bought:

1. Tea & Lemon Clay Mask
2. Charcoal & Black Sugar Mask
3. Dead Sea Minerals Facial Anti-Stress Mask
4. Cucumber Facial Peel-Off Mask
5. Pineapple Facial Enzyme Mask

I might have went a little overboard..BUT they were on sale! 

Seriously the Tea & Lemon Clay Mask, I had to buy only because of the First line of the description. "Charm skin with a little southern comfort in the form of Sweet Tea spritzed with a squeeze of refreshing Lemon!" (From Ulta's Website)
I'm from the South so I had to buy it!

I'm pretty sure I won't need to buy any masks anytime soon!

Too Faced

When I saw these two lipsticks I knew I had to have them! They are La Crème Color Drenched Lip Cream, by Too Faced. I love Too Faced, I have a bunch of their products but this is the first lipstick. 

Left is Sugar Daddy & Right is Unicorn Tears

Now get the names of these shades. The first is Unicorn Tears. Which is an iridescent shimmer. 

The second is Sugar Daddy, which is a nude rose. This whole collection features some pretty off the wall names. 

Ok let me shut up about names and get to telling you about these lipsticks or lip cream as they are called. (I'm sticking with lipstick)

They are infused with white lotus flower extract (Ok??) which is suppose to help hydrate, sooth, and condition your lips. I don't know about all of that but hey what every floats your boat. 

Unicorn Tears is actually a pretty light blue shade with glitter. It looks Amazing over Sugar Daddy. Not so much on it's own though. And you get glitter ALL over your face! Huge negative! But a pretty amazing combo with another shade. 

Sugar Daddy is just a pretty nude shade. It looks great on it's own but like I said, amazing with Unicorn Tears over it. 
Both have a very nice formula. Goes on smooth and seems to really stay put. I wore Sugar Daddy today and it stayed on for a good 4 hours. 

Right now Ulta is running a special on Too Faced products. If you spend $35 you will receive a deluxe size Better Than Sex Mascara! Seriously Amazing mascara! This offer only lasts until 1/23 or while supplies last. If you are interested in getting one of these click Here.

Bio-Oil

Yes I have stretch marks...But having my sweet daughter is totally worth it. I've heard a lot of good things about Bio-Oil, so I figured why not give it a shot....Anyone ever used this product?? Does it work?? I shall Find out! Review to come! 

Lamp Black, Wolf Grey

Well I have finally finished Lamp Black, Wolf Grey. And I'm honestly kind of sad it ended. I Love when books hook you to the point, where your sad they ended. Ahh and this book so did that for me.

Now don't let the title throw you off. It's an odd title for sure but does fit with the story. 

This novel is about 2 women. One in present time and one in the past. It's also about Merlin. Yeah that Merlin...Anyway...

So Laura (present main character) is an artist who desperately wants a baby. She convinces her husband to move to this Welsh mountain town, in hopes she will conceive there. Once there she meets this creepy man Rhys. She also meets this old sweet woman Anwen..Ok the names just have thrown me so off....As usual strange things start to happen...I can't give away too much! Let's just say Laura was a bad girl. 

Then you have Megan (past character). Megan is a nurse maid to children of a prick Lord Geraint. Her story and Laura's are intertwined. I must say I really enjoyed reading about Megan. That's what had me hooked. Except I'm mad as hell about what happened to the horse. Seriously you couldn't leave that part out?? Humm...animal lover over here...

Anyway...I Loved this Novel! I hate it ended but ahh on to the next!
