First items not pictured:  my computer ate them and I put it away before I realized it.

ILLAMASQUA ~Lip & Eye Medium Pencil FULL SIZE! Retails for $20, A$100 Gift Certificate to Nu*Me professional styling tools & a code to get a free Roma Anti-Aging Face Set Sampler with any $50 purchase.

INCOCO ~ Nail Polish Applique FULL SIZE! Retail $8. The shade is “Sinderella” I love it!

A nail applique strip made of 100% real nail polish including base, color and top coat for brilliant, long-lasting results. say goodbye to smears, spills, and streaks with these easy to apply strips.

KRYOLAN FOR GOSSYBOX ~ Blusher in Glossy Rosewood. Another FULL SIZED item! Retails for $9.

The micronized pigments im this semi-transparent cream powder allow for a vivid yet light application. Perfect for the cheeks and can be used on the eyelids too.

I don’t think the shade will work on my cheeks, but I may be able to pull it off on my eyes.

NUME STYLE ~ Arganics by NuMe Argan Oil Retail for 4oz is $59.

A perfect compliment to any hair and skin care regiment, this Argan Oil is rich in Vitamin E and other beneficial fatty acids, Non-greasy and specially formulated for rapid penetration, the oil brings a while new level of shine and luster to even the most ravaged and damaged hair.

Love the smell.

SKIN&CO ROMA ~ Truffle Serum: Hydro Toning Day Face Serum. Full size retails for $36.

Give your face a boost and slow down the signs of aging using this Italian serum infused with Peptides, pure extracts of Tuber Melanosporum and Hyaluronic Acid. Use Daily.

This stiff smells divine! I can’t wait to try this and I’ll more than likely buy a full-sized tube!

Another month, another happy girl with my GLOSSYBOX! To get your own box click on the banner below this post. You’ll be happy you did!

Disclaimer: There are affiliate ads in this post and if you want to click them to help me keep this site running, super! If not I totally understand. I also want to add that I pay for all of my own boxes and all opinions, or lack of, are 100% my own.

I am beyond disappointed with this box! There is no way it’s work the $13 I paid for it. When you think of holidays you think of decor and goodies and FUN. Now I knew there would be some cleaning stuff, but that’s.all.i.got. They didn’t even have the usual confetti. 🙁

So here is what I got:

• Biz detergent $2 coupon (not shown)
• Bissell Febreze Stomp n Go Stain Lifting Pad, 1 pad included with $1 coupon on back of product– $1.69
• Febreze Set and Refresh Air Freshener, full size — $2.99 (I have two of these samples from FB offers)
• Mean Green Cleaner $1 coupon (not shown)
• OxiClean Dishwashing Boost, 13 fl. oz. — $8.00 (according to the rebate form) (Dishwasher is dead)
• Tide Pods, 1 sample — $.25 (I have tons of these samples that I got for FREE)
• Total of box (not including coupons): $12.93

What are your thoughts on this? Are you happy, those of you that got one of these? Will you be keeping Cravebox?

***UPDATE. I was so miffed I e-mailed customer service with my distaste and they are refunding my money! I got a reply less than 5 minutes after I send the letter. SO IMPRESSED! I may just keep them after all. I mean, you’re not going to LOVE every box right?

As you may recall in my November PopSugar Must Have I got a card from StyleMint for a free T-Shirt. Right after posting about my box I redeemed my card. That was November 20th. I got my shirt today!

The shirt retailed for 29.99, but with my card I got it free along with free shipping. I just chose it for the style, I neglected to read what it is made out of. It’s VELVET and sooo soft. It’s super cute too. The back cuts low with a ribbon at the base of the neck. This picture does not do it justice. If you got a PopSugar and have not sent in for your FREE shirt, do it now! You will not be disappointed. If you don’t get PopSugar you need to sign up. It’s $36 a month and the value of this month’s box was over $150!

pv.Body is an exercise clothing subscription box that sends you a top and bottom each month based on your style profile. They work with name brands like Nike, and each box is worth $150!

The Cost: $39.95 a month (free shipping)

The Products: $150 worth of exercise clothes each month! (Get the Be Epic tank pictured above free in your first box if you sign up with your Facebook account)

Pets Love Toys

Membership starts at $19.95 for small/medium pets and $24.95 for large/XL pets. FREE Shipping. You also get to choose one item from your handpicked storeroom.

I hope they offer boxes for cats in the future. 🙁

The Golden Tote: Every month you get a tote filled with Women’s clothing and accessories.

The Cost: $49 or $149 per month (you need to purchase each month if interested)

The Products: With the $49 option, each tote has 2-3 items worth up to $250, the $149 option has 5-7 items worth up to $600

This one is way over my head. I’m not a fashionista by any means.

Are you brave enough and have the bank account to try it out? If so PLEASE let me know.   🙂

Nicely Noted is a new subscription service that sends you 3 curated letterpress cards (and stamps)!

The Cost: $18 a month

You can view examples of cards they send out here. I think these cards are really cute, and I love that they come from independent card makers all over the country. What do you think of this service?

I feel it’s a tad bit pricey, but at the same time I glad there are still people that write and send snail mail. That’s one of the reasons I have so many subscriptions. I LOVE getting snail mail. 🙂

On my quest for new and interesting subscription boxes I’ve been far from disappointed. I wish I could try them all out, but alas I will settle for giving you the basics and hope you get one to review for us. 🙂

Sorting out the difference between health bars, energy drinks, and nutritional supplements can be an expensive and daunting task. Now, thanks to Kona Kase, fitness enthusiasts have their own specialty product service that delivers monthly samples to their door. Kona Kase delivers a curated box of endurance nutrition samples for the low cost of  $15.

The samples vary from gels to supplements to bars to drinks. And the samples aren’t just meant for a single phase of athletic activity, but offer a spectrum from pre, during, and after you work out. “With a box, we try to offer a spectrum and meet the needs of our consumers,” explains Kona Kase co-founder Joel Constable. You may cancel your subscription at any time, though you can’t opt out of any individual box. There is, however, free shipping on all Kases and the ability to gift a kase to someone.

So will you be trying this box? If so let me know how it goes.
