PopSugar Must Have Box Resort March 2015 Review

PopSugar Must Have Resort Box - A couple time a year, PopSugar releases Limited Edition extra special boxes. These come in really nice bigger boxes, and everything is individually wrapped. It's super fun opening.
Stephanie Johnson White Dot Train Case - $60. This is a really nice Limited Edition train case. It's supposed to be leak proof, in case something spills mid travels.
Sloane Stationery Passport Holder - $48  PopSugar Exclusive - K did not have a passport holder yet, so she got this one. It's pretty nice and says Bon Voyage.
 

Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum - $80 - This is full size. Packed with antioxidants, fruit enzymes, and essential nutrients. I was ready to move on to a new daily serum, so happy to get this!
Jane Iredale Warm My Steppes makeup Kit - $58. this comes with two lip glosses, blush, and bronzer in one easy to go compact. The colors are a little too dark for me, so I'm not keeping, but it's pretty nice.
Jacobsen Salt Co. Pure Se Salt Cocktail Salt - $14. Great for rimming cocktail glasses, margaritas anyone?
Lele Sadoughi Half Moon Pendant - $110. PopSugar Exclusive. K loved this immediately, and it really looks great on her.
 
The resort boxes are some of my favorites. Actually, most of the LE boxes are my faves. We paid $100 and the value is over $370 for this box.

PopSugar Must Have Box March 2015 Review

PopSugar Must Have Box- $39.99/monthly. One of the most popular subscription boxes. Hand selected full sized premium items in beauty, fashion, home, fitness, and food. The items always include something fun. And the boxes almost always include a snack each month.
 
HalfPops Half Popped Popcorn - $1.69 This is the snack included this month. I haven't tried yet, but I like that it's included.
Wet Brush The Squirt -  $4.99 We received the full size brush last year, or was it two years ago? Anyway, this is the little mini me version. I heard good things about the other one, maybe it really does detangle good?
Bliss Micromagic Microdermabrasion Treatment - Full size $48 - I'm looking forward to trying this stuff. Has vitamin E, volcanic pumice, and aloe. Supposed to give spa-like results.
Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Mascara and Prefessional - This was a special extra bonus item. This is the cutest set. Love this brand, it's soo 1950's vintage adorable.

Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Mascara -  I have been wanting to try the mascara, so happy to get this. I can't figure out why the cap is solid smooth, but every pic I see of this stuff has a fancy cap. Maybe because it's trial size?
Benefit Cosmetics Porefessional - I already love the Porefessional, it's a great mattifyer and makes your skin look porcelain.
Knock Knock What to Pack Pad - $7 This is a checklist of things to pack for a trip. I travel quite a bit, and already have a system for packing, so I don't need this. It's cute though.
Samudra Pink Pina Zip Pouch - $40. This has a pineapple print, which is hear is very popular these days.
 
Greenmarket Purveying Co. The Archivist Lemon+Cucumber Reed Diffuser Kit - $20. I liked this one so I posted extra pics. I have been using it since the day I opened my box. It smells fresh and I really like it.
I love my PopSugar box this month and can't wait to see what's included next month.

Ipsy Glam Bag March 2015 Review

Ipsy- $10/ month/ no shipping charges. You get a cute makeup bag filled with 4-5 personalized beauty products.
Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Cream Oil - Not keeping. I do not like oil on my hair.
Dr. Brandt Pores No More Matifying Lotion - Happy to see this. I was just looking for a matifying lotion this morning.
Marsk Mineral Eyeshadow in fifty shades - I don't need this, already traded, LOL.
Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter - I'm not sure I quite have the patience for highlighters. I do love the Chella brand, especially the eyeliner in Indigo. I am guessing this is just as good quality.
NYX Butter Lipstick in Little Susie - This is full size. The first time I tried one of these, I thought it was lip balm, had no idea it's really a lipstick. It shocked me when the color came off on my glass. So, I've already traded this as well, lol. The brand and the color are not for me.

ModCloth Stylish Surprise Notice

This is just a quick note to let you know that Modcloth Stylish Surprise should be going on sale some time this week. I hear the sale is a couple times a year, but I've only seen it in the Spring. I have never tried it but I'm considering this year. For $10-$15 an item, you get mystery surprises. It can be tough to get sizes right with unknown brands. There are different categories, apparel, apartment, shoes.
I've read up on reviews and just know that going into this it can be hit or miss on the items.

Fabletics - March 2015 Review

*This post contains affiliate links*
March is almost over, so I'm kinda scrambling to get as may reviews completed as I can. Fabletics is a monthly subscription service that sends you workout outfits. The quality is above average and the styles are cute. The costs is around $49.95 - $69.95 month. You basically pay the price of the outfit you pick, but you get it at members pricing. The quality and value are there.

I picked an outfit that was suggested .
Aruba Wrap Top II in Seafoam - I really liked this on the model. On me? Not so much. It just has more material that I like when working out, but it makes a great casual top. I wasn't overly thrilled with the color, it's actually much darker than it shows in pics. I'm listing this one for swap.
Seven Sports Bra II - I think this is so super cute! Love the detail on the back. Just a warning, this is not supportive and is for low impact sports, like Yoga.
Camacan Capri - These are very comfy capri's. I like that you can customize your options when picking your outfit. I went with the suggested combination this month, but I do like how you can change it up.
 
Even though I'm not keeping the top, I still loved my outfit this month. If you are interested in trying out Fabletics, please use our link here.

SwaagBox TomBox March 2015 Review

I am so far behind on reviews this month. I'll try and get everything posted by the end of the month, but if that doesn't work out I'll probably just move on to April.
 
SwaagBox is a TOM box - $10-$24 month depending on which option you choose. You can pick supplies, or just makeup and jewelry. I'm not sure getting a TOM box is worth it if you do not get supplies. 
I love that they include little chocolate snacks each month. I also like the taping around the box, it's let's me know instantly who this package is from.
I didn't make any changes to my account since the previous month, so they sent the same supplies I had already picked.
These are the jewelry products included. I do not like this type of bracelet, ever, but that's what MSA swaps are for. The necklace is also not my style, so I didn't take it out of the package because it's also going on MSA swaps. Now that I think of it, I'm not sure I've ever like the jewelry included in these boxes.
J. Cat Beauty Fantabulous Lipstick in HoneyCrisp - This color isn't for me, so I'm not keeping, but it would look great on someone who likes the lighter and peachy colors.
Cargo Eye Shadow in Oz - I received this exact item and color a couple months ago from another company. do not like it any better the second time around.
Clarisea Seat Salt Scrub - This 100% natural powder exfoliant gently buffs away impurities and dead skin cells with naturally nourishing ingredients to reveal a healthy layer of vibrant skin. The natural astringent properties of rose powder and orange peel powder cleanse skin. Almond flour gently exfoliates while powderized sea salt clarifies.
Bake Naturals Lip Balm - It's not easy getting excited for lip balm. This time is no exception.
Philip B Chocolate Milk Body Wash & Bubble Bath - this smells great! I'm looking forward to trying it.
Dior Capture Totale Muti-Perfecting Cream & Diorskin Forever Tent Haute Perfection - Dior is one of my favorite brands!! I'm totally excited to see this! I j
