Lilee Subscription Box August 22015 Review

Lilee box is $49/month, or $189 for 4 months, or $499 for 12 months.  They include a mix of beauty and lifestyle items. They also include a nice info card to describe the months curation. Each time I receive a box I'm always impressed with the number of items that are included. This month there was a focus on fitness inspired items.

They have the cutest packaging, and I love the black box on top, logo stamped. Also, the little gold sticker for the tissue paper is a nice touch.

Bodyography Cleansing & Soothing Wipes - $14. I am a regular user of facial wipes, so I'm always happy to get more. This is an easy way to remove makeup and also condition the skin.

OFRA face cream sample packs - This was included as bonus samples. I post in the order I open, so that's why your getting this now. I will most likely be passing these on for someone else to try.

Knotty Workout Hair Band - Signature Buckle Wide Headband - $29.99. I'm not totally sure if there were variations sent out, but I believe this is their most popular headband. I know this is still really simple, but it's still too complicated a headband for my taste.

Bottle Band "Like a Boss" - $7.99, custom made for Lilee box. This was custom made for this box, so I do not have a link. This is to help carry your water bottle, and I can see this being really handy if you are carrying a lot of water bottles at once. See the diagram in the 2nd pic in the lower left corner.

Styli-Style Glide on Blush Stick in Bittersweet - $6.49. I do like cream blushes, I think they go on smooth and blend well. This is not a color I can use however, so I'll be gifting.

Probar Fuel Superfood Energy Bar - $5.  I love that this was included, I have been wanting to try this. I like energy bars and I like cherry flavors, so this is a hit for me. I wouldn't mind trying some of the other flavors as well. UPDATE: I have now tried this and it's not my favorite. I was expecting more cherry flavor.

 

Feto Soap Jumbo Sore Muscle Bath Bomb - $8. I cannot find a company website for this brand, so I am listing the Etsy link. I love bath bombs and I'm never disappointed to get one in a box. I like that this was included.

 

Lilee Jump Rope - $14.99. This is made exclusively for the Lilee box, so no link for this one either. I like that a jump rope was included, but I've already got one from other boxes.

Incoco Nail Polish Applique Set in Trendspotter - $8.99. This brand has been rated as the top nail applique brand in several review articles I've seen. This has been on my list to try because I prefer the types that are made with real nail polish, not stickers, because they apply cleaner. I am happy to get this. Did you know that Incoco is now selling at Target? They sent me an email yesterday to tell me and I was really surprised to hear this. Good news for them.

Elizabeth mott Tints & Sass Lip Tint - $22.99. Fabulous lip and cheek stain. Love the box this came in! Cute details.

 

Be a Bombshell Eye Crayons in Angel Eyes & The Boss - $32. I don't wear eye shadows. Or eye creams. I will be gifting to someone who can use.

Lilee Beauty Box - Jewelry Gift 2015

Lilee Beauty Box is a lifestyle box that includes known and unique brands. From scarves, tea, jewelry and makeup items. I've only gotten one box, but it was pretty cute. They sent out a jewelry item for subscribers that had used a promo code to sign up for in December. I did not get my box until January. The jewelry item came separate than the box shipment, and it also included a 2nd jewelry piece that was missing from the December box.

 These are supposed to be $50 each, but I do not believe they are worth that. I do like the color and shapes of these pieces, but they aren't for me. I will be swapping as I do not wear this type of statement jewelry.

Lilee Beauty Box December 2014 Box

I just got my Lilee December box. It's a bit late, but better late than never! This is our first box. We were just trying this one out, we do not have a regular subscription. This subscription box is $49/month. It's a luxury beauty and lifestyle box. We were supposed to get a $50 jewelry piece, but we received an email today stating it would be shipping at a different time.

This was our first look and it was really cute. The black box on the top of the box had Lilee imprinted on it, and it was really a special touch, so cute. The first look at the items was pretty good as well.

The tissue paper had the L sticker, also nice touch. The info card was very informative on the side that told about the products. It also included prices. The other side introduced Lilee, who sees herself as "A product snob", and that she looks for one-of-a-kind products because she doesn't want what everyone else has. Personally, I kinda just want stuff before everyone else has it.

Cult Cosmetics Nail Polish color is The Roxy - Full Size $9.99. This color is like a pastel purple. I won't wear it, but I also don't not like it. It's one of the new shades. I like that it was included.
Purlisse SPF 30 Daily Moisturizer 1.7 oz - Full Size - $55 -  I don't believe you can be a subscription box without including a pur-lisse product. Seriously, I think it's a law. Dear Lilee, I know you  like to "discover one-of-a-kind finds", but trust me, pur-lisse is not it. The subscription box services are saturated with their products.

Mirabella Beauty Perfecting Powder - Full size $32. I am so thrilled to see this because I have been in need of some new powder. I have a couple tarte sample sizes I've been going through, a little too fast. The timing of this is nice. I do not know if I'll like it yet, since I don't know this brand, but I'm thinking based on the color I will.

My Beauty Tea Manatea Infuser - $11.50 This tea infuser is seriously cute! The pic in the link shows how truly cute this is. I do not drink tea so this is wasted on my, but it's seriously cute.

My Beauty Tea Loose Tea in Pink Blossom - $8.50 - Tea to go with the Manatea Infuser. Makes perfect sense.
Rachael Creative Your a Gem Greeting Card - $3.50. This is a vintage inspired greeting card. Cute I guess. This is a greeting card. I'm surprised this wasn't a box of greeting cards, which is what I'm used to in boxes, but I see these are sold in singles.

Jesse & Co Custom Gold Bar Necklace - $30. This one says "curated". Too cute. I couldn't find the exact one on the website, so I'm going with the price listed for the same ones with different sayings. I love this necklace. LOVE it! I have been looking for a gold bar necklace this past month, and haven't been able to quite find one. I will not wear anything that has inspirational words on it, so I'm seriously thrilled with this one. This is undoubtedly my favorite item in the box.

Bonus items:
Argan Oil from Morocco Intense Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment - $1.89 This is quite a sample size and will last for probably about 3 uses, even with generously applying.
h2o Micro Collagen Moisturizer - $5.99. We like this brand, and are likely to use this sample. It's purse size. I am using moisturizer so frequently nowadays, with this weather, this might last me a day.

The verdict on this box is it's not bad. I like that everything included was full size (other than the bonus items). The value is around $158.37.  I think the value is great, but I'm not overly wowed with the box. There were several items I was thrilled to get, the necklace and the powder (which justifies the price for me), but there is nothing I was completely amazed at. I was just expecting a "wow" item for the $49 price tag. Perhaps if the missing jewelry item was included I would feel differently, but I kinda doubt it. I know this was the first box and I truly hope they find their groove. We'll be keeping an eye on this subscription to see if we will be signing up regularly.
