Archer Farm Maui Onion Dip

What I'm loving this week!

Chips & Dip! Just discovered Archer Farms Maui Onion Dip. It's fantastic. We have also discovered Archer Farms Parmesan Garlic chips. Love! Archer Farms is a Target brand, which is where we picked these up.

Archer Farms Maui Onion dip - $2.50 has a little bit of a kick to it. It's not spicy, just flavorful. The dip is pretty creamy, does have onions pieces in it, but it's fairly smooth. I don't know how long this has been out on the market, but we just noticed it. It's great pared with the Archer Farms chips that we bought to try out with the dip.

Archer Farms Parmesan Garlic chips - $2.99. We love these potato chips. They are very crisp, and do not taste greasy at all. The flavor is wonderful, you can taste both a hint of parmesan and a hint of garlic. I am especially loving the zip closure, and how it keeps it fresh.

Blush Mystery Box July 2014 Review

Blush Mystery Box is here! I don't know if I've told  you or not, but I am really liking this subscription. It may just be my favorite.

Blush Mystery Box always arrives in a black bag.

 Love the info card!

 These were the free samples.

Julien Farel Hair Care Zero Frizz Restore $33- full size! It says anti-aging for your hair. I'm thrilled to see this. I have curly hair, but I generally straighten. In the meantime, I have just the person to give this to.

Dr Dennis Gross Skincare  Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel - This is just one application, that is a 2 step process. I'm not including a price, because it's just one packet, and I've never really been good at estimating the value of foil packets.

Cattiva Cosmetics Waterproof Automatic Lip Pencil - Dolce Diva $20 - This lip liner, and the lipgloss that I'll show later, were bonus items.

SmartFX SmartEye Wrinkle Lift $60 - Full size!!! A brightening cream that gets rid of dark circles in 60 seconds. I'll try it out. This is probably my favorite item to try this month.

Great Barrier Island Bee Co Manuka Honey Intensive Hand and Nail Cream - $22 for full size, but we received travel size.

Rouge Bunny Rouge Lip Gloss Gleaming Temptations  $11.99 - Love the color!

 

Once again, a great shipment from Blush! I paid $27.32 (with shipping), and this month was over $113. Each month blush mystery box features travel-size and full-size beauty products. If you are interested, please email me at brierreview@gmail.com and I will send you a referral code from their website. You will receive a $10 gift card to use at DermStore.com, blush.com and hairenvy.com

PopSugar Must Have Box July 2014 Review

Soo excited to see my PopSugar Must Have Box!!! This month, I looked up all the spoilers ahead of time, so nothing was a surprise. But I was still happy to see it. I thought I had cancelled, but happy to find out that did not take effect. PopSugar Must Have Box is $39.99/monthly. Use the code REFER5 to get $5 off. 

Michael Star Beach hat: Seagrass Crusher Hat $48 - I am not overly thrilled about this hat. But, it looks cute on K. I heard it was going to be squishy. So it could fit in the box. And that's a pretty good description.

French Bull Ziggy Salad Servers $12 - We LOVED these, too cute. These will work great for K's apartment.

Revlon Bold Lacquer Length & Volume Mascara $7 - I have been out of my favorite mascara since pretty much this morning. So, great timing for this one! I never get tired of seeing mascara, especially black mascara, in boxes. The next pic is showing a coupon!

 

Dang Food Toasted Coconut Chips $3 - I've never heard of coconut chips. They kind of look like noodles. We liked them. I can picture them on a salad and adding just the right amount of crunch. 

ACME Party Box Company Chevron Straws $6- SUPER Cute!! K is also taking these to her new apartment, to use when she entertains. These are paper eco friendly straws. We love the Chevron pattern.  

Sun Bum Sunscreen and Lotion $20 - This is awesome. I normally wear an spf 50, but a 30 will do for in between touch ups. The fragrance on these is pretty nice, a hint of coconut. There was some question if we were getting both, I'm very happy they included the after sun lotion as well.

 

TKO Jump Rope with Soft Grip Handles $13- I really like this jump rope. I don't know why, maybe it's the grip handles? I don't know when the last time I have ever jumped rope, and I don't know if I will ever actually use this, but I'm really liking it anyway. I'll toss into my exercise basket, along with all the yoga mats, and resistance bands, you know, the stuff I may or may not ever get around to using.

 

That's it for PopSugar Must Have box this month. I am very happy with this months box. I paid 39.95 and the value was about $109, although the hat was half this cost. But it was a really fun box anyway.

FabFitFun is finally here!! Since FFF only come out quarterly, it's always something to look forward to. Its $49.99 a quarter. Curated by Giuliana Rancic and the FabFitFun team. It promises $175+ worth of full-size premium items. It has the seasons hottest beauty, fitness, fashion, and wellness items. If you are interested I can send you an invite through their website. I get $10 off my next box if you do that, and you will get $5 off of your box.

They have posted this article on how to pick out a subscription box. This could be interesting. if you are evaluating what type of box to get for yourself.

 A: This make-up bag is just ok. I'm not taking it out of the plastic because I already know I will be gifting this one. It's kind of cute, but I have cuter ones from tipsy.

K: I am happy I got this design over the others, but I don't love it. However, on their website they have an octopus one that I LOVE.

 A: I got sea salt & vinegar chips. Which is great, but I was secretly hoping for sour cream & onion. My bag came crushed.

K: I love pop chips! Happy to see this.

 A: This is a power bar. My flavor is cake, and I really excited to try this. I normally don't eat power bars, because I don't like the taste of most of them. So, I'm really hoping this is as yummy as it sounds.

K: Looks yummy!

 A: This hair oil smells great. I personally don't use hair oil on my hair, so I don't know that I'll be trying this.

K: I am very excited to try this organic, vegan, and paraben free hair oil. Hope it works on my frizz.

 A: We just got a water infuser from PopSugar, and I happen to like that one better because it's the type you can drink out of. This one, on the other hand, seems longer, so I think it might work a little differently. We have a couple of water infusers, and I'm embarrassed to say I've never actually tried them. I'm hoping to change that this summer. K pointed out the logo on the top, which is cool.

K: I can always use more water bottles.

 A: This was the spoiler item, and I'm super excited for this. I will be trying this out tomorrow. By far, my favorite item this month.

K: Really excited to try this! Its a flash facial and exfoliator.

 A: Purlisse spf 30 lotion. Yawn. LOL, I just seem to be getting Purlise in every single sub box lately. Did they just contact anyone and everyone who curates?

K: More sunscreen, at least I know it will get used.

 A: I know there is nothing special about this travel size shaving cream. However, this is actually the brand and size that I use while traveling, so I will use this for sure.

K: I will try it!

 A: Coupon.

 A: I LOVE this. I hope it's as cool as it sounds. My flavors are fire and ice.

K: I got the same flavor. After seeing them on Shark Tank I really wanted to try this, so I was ecstatic it was in the box.

 A: Oh.

K: Lol. Really FFF?

 A: I love Zoya nail polish, happy to see it. My color is Elodie. I am also thrilled with the color because I think it's a great summer toe color.

K: Love the coral color.

A: This month there were some hits and misses, but still my favorite subscription box!!
K: This months box wasn't as great as the last few, but I still love this box the most.

The Style Box by SocialBliss June 2014 Review

I actually received this June box while I was out traveling. I'm just so behind on posts.

I know, I know, I say it every month. Hello Gorgeous. Never. Gets. Old.

Boho Chic is the theme this month. This is the first look.

The Peruvian Warrior Ring. This ring is unique and has a vintage style. K called it immediately.

Yup. On her hand immediately.

Fated Bliss Kimono Wrap - Love. The info card showed us a couple different ways this can be worn, which is cool.

Ulta Super Shiny Lipgloss - in Whisper 16. I love the color.

Essie magnetic nail polish, in ssssexy. LOVE magnetic nail polish, super fun. Very happy to get this.

In Retro Spec Sunglasses - I can't find a link for these. But I do think they are cute. I wear prescription sunglasses, so I don't really collect them. But I would totally wear these if I did.

 

That's it for this month. I'm happy with this months box. I will be taking a break from this monthly box for awhile, but we shall see how long that actually lasts. Maybe through the end of summer.

Cate and Chloe July 2014 Review

First package and first posting for July. I plan to do better this month as I don't have to travel and should have the time. I actually received this yesterday, but it is for my July package, so I thought I'd wait until today to post. This is also my last Cate and Chloe package, as I'll be taking a little break for awhile. I still love the concept of Cate and Chloe, I'm just rearranging which subscriptions I'll be currently getting.

 As always, arrived in a classy box!
