Glossybox August bohemian summer

This review is a little late because I didn't get my box til a week into September. After I got the box I then had to wait for them to send me a replacement item for the busted eyeshadow I received. So this review will include the items in my original box as well as my replacement items that I finally got in the mail today.

Guess denim pouch: this bag is very cute and I hadn't realized guess was still around and still making denim products too bad the coupon code they sent expired the day I received the box.

Anatomicals spray misty for me facial spritz: I was skeptical when I saw this in other reviews but I ended up actually liking this product and I tend to keep it in my purse now.

Novex Brazilian keratin hair care treatment  cream: I will probably ended up trading this for something else cause I don't really have any use for this.

Jelly pong pong lip blush: haven't opened this since I'd gotten a pop beauty lip crayon in ipsy recently and I have plenty of lip products that I am trying to use so it will be awhile before I can get to this. I should really use one of my glossyboxes to gather up all my lip products in one place since I always seem to misplace them and find them at random times.

ModelCo eyeshadow duo in bronzed goddess: this is the product that arrived busted and was the item I was most looking forward to trying. They had run out of this product when I contacted them so they sent me two products to replace it. But I was lucky enough to find an extremely nice person in one of the swap groups I'm in who is sending me her duplicate of this eyeshadow and her duplicate sue Dewitt pressed powder.

Sue Dewitt triple c-weed pressed powder: I ended up giving the one that came in my box to my best friend S who says I'm spoiling her since I give her some of the makeup and products I get in these boxes.

Replacement products:

Sparitual nail polish (adore): I really like this pink color but I don't do well painting my nails with pinks this shade since its so light and hard for me to tell being half blind how well I've covered my nails so I will ask my mom to help me paint my nails with this color or I might take it with me next time I go get my nails painted at a nail salon but that's a very rare thing in the past few years.

Feel like honey moon skin base: this is a moisturizer and makeup base and I am looking forward to trying it. I don't remember seeing this in any past boxes so I'm wondering if this is possibly one of the September products that they decided to send me early.  I could be wrong and it may have been in one of the limited edition boxes.

This box had some hits and misses so hopefully they do better with this months box.

Taste guru September box

Today I got a huge surprise when the first of my two free taste guru boxes was dropped off on my porch! Their customer service said I wasn't going to receive this months box so I was happy to see it.

Being on the autism spectrum I've heard numerous times how a gluten free diet can help with so when I saw the deal for 2 free months just pay shipping I figured it was worth a shot since I've been considering gluten free for a while. 

They had me excited by the first look and I couldn't wait to dig in to see all the full sized goodies so let's get into it!

~Toufayan bakeries gluten free wraps: I'm excited to try these cause I love wraps and tortillas. They also included a recipe in the box for grilled veggie and hummus wraps that look very tasty.

~Rocky mountain company popcorn company butter popcorn: I love to have popcorn while watching a movie although I don't tend to buy popcorn at the movie theater since I found a mouse running around in the kernels once when I worked at a movie theater, so I'd rather not risk a mousy surprise in my movie treat.

~Glutino gluten free strawberry breakfast bars: I am interested to try these and see what they taste like.

~ Sea Fare Pacific smoked salmon chowder: I've never had salmon chowder before so this should be interesting.

~ Cooksimple tamale pie: I think I'm going to make this one night next week and not tell my dad that its gluten free and see what he thinks of it.

~Viviana gluten free and vegan sweet potato fettuccine: omg they've combined 2 of my favorite things sweet potatoes and pasta! I will probably make this next week although I'm wondering what kind of sauce would be best with this since I'm not too sure that red sauce will go too well with it, any ideas?

I think I love this box company so many great full size products that I can't wait to try and I am looking forward to seeing what they send next month!

"Wrecking Ball" kind of love..

So I took a little break from blogging and there are a few box reviews I didn't do which I will be skipping since they would be a few months late. I'm going to get back into doing box reviews this month and should have my August glossybox review up soon since I just received it last week. 

This post however is a more personal one to help me explain and deal with some things going on in my life. So last November my ex J and I decided to give our relationship another try. I gave him my entire heart and one week ago after a great lunch date he blindsided me that night on the phone saying that he wanted to take a break from us.

Only 3 days later he already had a date for Friday with another young woman (K). Needless to say my heart felt stomped on until yesterday. Yesterday he told me that he thought of this as a break up not a break. I know some people may feel writing about this so soon is a bad idea but knowing myself this will help me more then staying silent.

My heart feels like it has been ripped open and left bleeding on the floor. He'd been my first love and at the moment I feel like I could never trust anyone enough to give them my heart and thus the power to hurt me so immensely. I am not writing this to get people to feel sorry for me. I am writing this to try to start working through all this pain that I am feeling. I'm not looking for people to tell me that things will get better as I have too many people already telling me this. Not saying that any of you are wrong I am just not in a place where my heart is listening to any of that. 

I know that I will get through this it will just take time and strength. Hope that you all are enjoying your September so far and that you will come back to read my upcoming box reviews!

Influenster 'Dasani Drops' Voxbox

I got an awesome surprise today when I went to my mailbox: a voxbox! I'd gotten the email that I pre-qualified last week and immediately took the survey. This time I hadn't received an email saying whether I was going to get the box or not yet. So at first when I saw the edge of the box in my mail I wasn't sure what it was then I saw compliments of influenster on the top. 

The actual outer box is probably one of the cutest voxboxes I have ever seen and I had thought the orange one I'd gotten before was adorable. It was blue on the outside with a ton of colorful drops all over it and the inside was white with the same colorful drops all over the place.

The products they sent are a 16.9oz bottle of Dasani water and two bottles of Dasani drops water enhancers one in grape and one in strawberry kiwi. Since I have actually already tried the strawberry kiwi which I have a bottle of at my boyfriends, I decided to try the grape. Both of these flavors are very good although I think my favorite is the strawberry kiwi. Not sure if they have any other flavors but if they do I plan to try more of them in the future since the ones that I have tried are good.

I'd been thinking about getting some more liquid water enhancers so this box came at the perfect time and now I won't have to go get any! So excited that they did pick me for this voxbox and that I qualified for my second voxbox so soon after the sugar n spice voxbox.  Also need to get to Walgreens soon so that I can pick up a SinfulShine polish to review for the other influenster program I was invited to. Thank you influenster for all these amazing programs that you offer and the amazing voxboxes that you put together!

Popsugar must haves June box

So I decided to stick with popsigar for another month since I tend to love their boxes. This month is a great box and again it came before my estimated delivery date!

Gorjana and griffin zuma scarf- this is a cute and super soft scarf. Although it is so much bigger then I thought it would be so it looks like it would make a cute wrap for over a bathing suit at the beach or by the pool this summer. There is also a gift card for $25 for this site so I may have to check it out later.

Juice beauty stem cell repair moisturizer and 2 CC cream samples- I was surprised they sent the full size of this moisturizer and I am looking forward to trying it. Also very happy they sent samples of CC cream I love my BB cream so I can't wait to try this either.

Hard candy fitness addicted to sweat 4 DVD- not sure how I feel about this I may try it just to see what it's like but I will probably end up putting this up for swap.

Revenge wears prada: the devil returns novel- I was excited to see this book in the box since it just came out and I did love the movie for the first book though I never read the first one. So im on the fence wether I should try to read the first book first.

Project 7 quench the thirsty wintergreen mints- I will not be using this product since I can not stand the taste or smell of mint. I do love that this company provides clean water to people in need for every tray of mints sold!

Popcorn Indiana fit popcorn- this popcorn looks very tasty and it doesn't hurt that it's only 40 calories a cup and approved by the Biggest Loser.

I liked this months box and there are only 2 products I probably won't use but I'm sure I'll find someone who wants those. I will most likely stick with popsugar another month since I love it so far and can't wait to see what's in julys box!

May glossybox 1 year anniversary box!

I'd been on the fence about whether I would renew my glossybox subscription. That was until I saw that this months was the one year anniversary box so I knew it had to be good! It's also looking like the June box will be a good one since its a collaboration and called the American beauty box. Can't wait to see what goodies are in that but for now onto the contents of the may box.

Xtreme lashes glide liner long lasting eye pencil in xspresso-  I'm glad that this is a soft pencil liner and that they sent a dark brown shade so now I have a black and a brown eyeliner.

Sebastian volupt spray- I have been trying several different types of products to add volume to my thin flat hair so I'm excited to give this spray gel a try.

Epionce intense defense anti-aging and repair serum- ill probably give this to my mom as she likes these types of products and I don't really feel I need anti aging products at my age.

Être  belle collagen and aloe Vera hydro mask- I'm looking forward to trying this as it is supposed to be very moisturizing.

European wax center slow it body lotion and slow it body wash- I don't tend to like foil packet samples but these products sound interesting as the body was helps prevent ingrown hairs and the lotion nourishes the skin.

Nicka k new york absolute! perfume stick-  I've never tried a solid perfume before and probably wouldn't have bought one for myself so it'll be nice to try something out of my comfort zone. 

It's a pretty good box except for having 3 foil packets but other then that I like it and cant wait to see what's in June's!

Goodies co may box #4

So far this month all my monthly boxes have arrived before their given delivery dates! Wasn't expecting my goodies co to get here till Monday then when I checked today it said it was out for delivery! This will be my last goodies box til september since I suspended this one so here's hoping it's a good one this month!

Numi organic tea in Moroccan mint- well right off the bat I pull out a product I won't use. I can not stand the taste or smell of mint so this tea is not something I will drink.

Beanitos white bean chips in nacho cheese- I don't think I can eat these either since I'm lactose intolerant so I'll probably give these to someone too.

Super seedz sea salt gourmet shelled pumpkin seedz- these do sound good but I'll most likely give them to my dad since I think he likes pumpkin seeds. Also he calls me punk'in so that'll be kinda cute since they are pumpkin seeds lol.

Bronco bobs roasted raspberry chipotle sauce- this actually sounds really good since I love raspberry and I think the sweet from that will help the heat from the chipotle.

California olive ranch extra virgin olive oil x2- I like the little packages these come in and since I have been trying my hand at cooking lately to help my mom out I'm sure I'll find a use for this.

Wholly guacamole chip clip and coupon for a free product- I love guacamole and this is an amazing coupon so I'm looking forward to trying it. Might give this chip clip to my boyfriend since he almost always has chips at his house but no clips to shut them lol.

Sour power straws in strawberry and a multi flavor with strawberry, apple/peach, tutti frutti, and raspberry/ grape- these sound good to me since I like sour things so I can not wait to try them. 

Zico pure premium coconut water- I am surprised they sent a liter of this that seems like a lot of coconut water. Not sure what exactly I can use this for but I will find something to use it for.

This box did have a few things I won't use but I'm sure that I can find someone who will like those products. I think the things I'm most looking forward to are the sour straws, the guacamole coupon and the spread. It does seem to have more products then last month though so that's a plus.
