They don’t call this box Spoiled Rotten for nothing! May marks the furkids first month with PetFlow’s Spoiled Rotten box for cats. Oddly enough nobody paid attention when I set the box down. Nobody paid attention when I opened it up, at first.

Pandora came sniffing about when started taking pictures of the loot.

Do you think she approved?

Pet  Naturals Daily Catch w/ Alaskan Salmon Oil. Gosh the bag is heavy, for a treat bag.

I hear tales of this month’s Juniper Box being amazing! I Miss it, but it’s no loner in my budget. I’m letting several subs go here and there. It’s rather heartbreaking! Just because I can’t share new openings with you I can bring up Juniper Box so she’s not forgotten.
I loved Juniper for the convenience; I never had to worry about not having what I need or have to rush out in an emergency to Walgreen’s to pick up supplies. But most of all, I loved the experience. It is just such a relief to have everything I need in gorgeous packaging and extras to make the days go by faster. The treats that Juniper sends are just to die for and I looked forward to see what each box brings.

Juniper is $28 a month and you receive everything you need for your “monthly visitor” and some extras for you. Use me (Denise Rivera) as a referral. We will both be rewarded! : Click HERE to get Juniper Box!

I got an e-mail from Birchbox a month or so ago asking if I wanted to receive the Nuance Salma Hayek Collection Birchbox. For free.  Umm, Yes Pleaese! 🙂   It wasn’t guaranteed and I was sure big time bloggers would get it over me. Having that attitude I totally forgot about it until it showed up at my house today.

The box is real sturdy and not to mention pretty.

Here is what I got…

My Secret Super Moisturizing Body Creme ($14.99)

Mamey Fruit Volumizing Shampoo & Conditioner ($1.60/each – $3.20 total)

AM/PM Anti-Aging Super Cream ($19.99): The secret ingredient behind this is “Tepezcohuite” – an antioxidant-rich Mexician tree extract.

Lights, Camera, Action Eye Trio ($8.79): This is a shadow, liner and highlighter stacked into one!  How cool is that?  Seriously, I would buy this at the store for the sheer packaging genius. Love it!

All totaled, I came up with a value of $46.97 for the Nuance Salma Hayek Collection box.

I am way more impressed with this month’s Blush Mystery Beauty Box 4.  It’s much more put together. It wasn’t just dumped into a box and covered with a wad of tissue.  Now it comes in a branded bag with a card showing every product in the bag and why it was chosen.

The first item that caught my eye was another little bag. On the front it said Baublebar! w00t. Now I wish I would haven’t taken separate pics of my items.

My bracelet is gold with a coin shaped bead. I don’t like gold, but this will make a fabulous gift. I wish I would have got one of the kitties though.

B. Kamins BB Cream

Cailyn Cosmetics Line-Fix Gel Eyeliner ~ Black This eyeliner is smudge-proof, water-resistant, safe for sensitive skin, and free of parabens, sulfates, and artificial fragrances. And it’s cruelty-free too! YaY!

Each Mystery Beauty Box gets better and better. From the packaging to the product.  This month’s is probably gone, but you can sign up and get in line for June!
