Grazebox: Delivery number 4

So far it seems that Graze always shows up in my mailbox on a day I have dialysis, which is awesome because then I already have a snack of my choosing just waiting for me! This time around, they actually already gave me a repeat of something I've already tried and "loved". That was the Immunity Nuts so I won't be discussing those this time around. Travel down with me and I'll tell you about the other snacks. 

If you would like to sign up for you own Graze box, just follow my referral link and you will get your first and fifth box free. The other boxes are 6 dollars per box. You can have them sent weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly depending on your financial situation. 

So as you can see in this box we have the repeat of the Immunity Nuts (those are seriously my top three favorite nuts all in one place... cashews, pistachios, and brazil nuts.) There is a British BBQ Mix (No idea what that is really supposed to mean). Black pepper popping corn and a Key Lime Pie theme snack mix.

I don't really care for rosemary, but this was truly delicious. I loved it. Especially the smoked almonds.

There were two different sorts of raisins here... green ones and the regular looking ones were lime flavored. I took one of each thing and tossed it into my mouth. Magical. Key Lime is made from aliens ;D

You know.

I already make my own popcorn this way so I KNOW it's good.

Mmmmm.... peppery and delicious! 

This box was a complete win this time. I actually enjoyed everything they sent. So grateful to not have something weird I know I wouldn't like this time.

Loot Crate for July! Villains

This is also running quite a bit behind schedule since I've had this well over a week and a half. What can I say? I'm a lazy girl sometimes. July's theme was Villians. I loved the box but they seemed to be very Joker focused this time around. I felt perhaps they could have mixed it up just a lil bit more. I am still over-all very happy with these guys. Every month has been fun. Lots of useless, silly things but the shirts are always good and things like socks are a nice bonus. Cannot argue with that at all. 

If you'd like a Loot Crate of your own, now is the time to sign up!! Follow my Loot Crate referral link and be sure to enter the coupon code: HEROES to get 10% off your first box. I think you know by the coupon code that August's box theme will be based around hero figures, just like this box was based around villians. Now come enjoy my box with me!

VANDALS!!! Cute ^_^

Deadpool socks rock! Also there is the "magazine: where they discuss this months Loot Crate picks.

He has been added to the monster metal closet doors in my living room where I am planning an army of magnets.

Luke, I am your.... keychain? 

Harley Quinn has always been one of my favorites.

THIS is bad-ass.

Loot Crate exclusive variant. Niiiice!

The collectible pin for July

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

If Joker and Loki somehow crossed dimensions and had a terrible splicing accident.

Ipsy July 2014

I've been running quite a bit behind on my unboxing reviews, so bear with me while I play catch up. 

Here we have this months Ipsy bag. I didn't really care for the makeup bag. Just some hot pink pleather looking thing that I feel a grade school child could have made in a home ec. class. Maybe I am being too harsh, or perhaps it was just a very gifted child. I don't know. I'll probably pass it along or sell it or something. 

Am I being too harsh or do you think my opinion is dead-on?

I DO like the zipper pull. Cutest part of the bag. 

The first thing I saw in the bag was a tiny little sample card and inside it was the tiniest little tube of cream eyeshadow I've ever seen. It's adorable. Endearing. 

It is a 5-in-1 BB shadow in Divine Wine from Bare Minerals. The description reads:

Meet the next generation in eyeshadow: creamy, long-wearing color meets exceptional skincare benefits and broad spectrum SPF protection. Chock-full of skin-loving ingredients, this breakthrough product delivers 5 benefits in one luxurious formula: 

1.) 12-hour long-wearing color 

2.) Super-charged primer 

3.) Powerful brightening benefits 

4.) Smoothes fine lines 

5.) Protects with SPF 

Available in a range of 10 seductively neutral shades.

Next up we have a bronzer from PoP Beauty. I didn't even open it. Is that bad? Haha! I just really don't use bronzer. I will play with it, but yeah, it is still not opened and I've had it for at least two weeks. It's "Secret Sunshine".

Stock image because I TOTALLY forgot to take a proper picture out of excitement. 

Next up is a lip gloss from Pixi. The color is Unique Pink. It's my favorite item out of the bag this month! 

Won't use this. Gave it to my dad who is out in the sun 500x more than I am. *shrug*

Baby size sun screen.

Swatch of the gloss and the shadow.

Overall, I was not impressed with this month. I'm keeping them for one last month but I think after August, I'm done with Ipsy for now.

Grazebox for Independence!

I've actually had this box for a number of days already but I usually like to take my time and try everything out before I make my post so that I can review it at the same time I'm sharing what I actually received rather than just going on blind assumption that something will taste good or bad. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want to make sure I properly represent this box.

Makes sense, right? Well, to start off, this time around the box goes from sensible, natural brown to a very cute red, white, and blue print for the 4th of July. How festive! I loved seeing the change. So cheerful and fun!

And here is what came inside. Fruity Mango Chutney with black pepper dippers. Lightly Toasted Pistachios. Scrumptious Blueberry Swirl and Salted Fudge & Peanut Cookie.

I was the MOST excited about this flavor. As delicious as it SOUNDS it really wasn't that awesome. *sad face* The nuts tasted a little south of stale... they were on that weird soft-side where it felt they had sat out in humidity post-roasting and then sat around in a warehouse too long. The vanilla fudge was sort of hard. Tiny little hard blocks. I had also been under the assumption that the cookies would have been peanut butter cookies, but silly me, they were chocolate. That is not a complaint, just not what I would have gone by with the name. But you can see in the package and ON the package they are chocolate. I give this an "Eh."

Next thing I tried was the mango chutney. I did not care for this. Now the little cracker-stick things were great! But I am not a chutney girl. I just have never cared for it. It's like you take three questionable things and mix them together for what I would liken to spicy piss-jelly. Mango usually tastes rotten to start with. I don't mean it tastes bad, I mean in nature it just tastes like something that is 2 days away from fermentation. Vinegar is always very yes or very no for me. And then you add hot pepper flakes for that perfect what-in-the-actual-yuck factor. Never again, thanks.

This next one was delicious. How could they not be? It's pistachios. The perfect snack, in my opinion. 

Last up we have the Scrumptious Blueberry Swirl which was blueberry yogurt covered raisins, raspberry flavored cranberries and black currants. I decided to save this one for breakfast instead of having it as a snack. It worked out pretty well, though I think if I ever get this one in a box in the future I will just savor the raisins on their own. They lost something inside my yogurt. The following pictures is basically just a tease of my delicious breakfast. 

Chobani Simply Vanilla and Raw Ohio Honey. Mmmmm/

Add scrums

Mix and enjoy! So good!

 This box was a little hit or miss for me. I hope the next two boxes REALLY blow my mind. 

Oh! And if you guys would like to try it for yourself... enter the code you see below. You'll get your first and your fifth box for FREE!! 

Small Ulta order

I got that Not Your Mother's Beach Babe shampoo and conditioner sample in my Influenster VoxBox not long ago and decided I cannot live without this product in my life. It smells delicious. Intoxicating, even. It has this rich coconut scent that just screams of a sunny day at the beach. It makes my hair soft and wavy and gives it a bit more volume than I'm used to. It's also sulfate free, which is a huge pro for me. They were on sale at Ulta for buy one get one for 50% off, so how could I say no? I couldn't. They always give you the option at checkout for them to send you some sort of samples too. Things like fragrances or skincare. I chose skincare this time around. This is what I got:

You can always go check out Ulta for yourselves. They almost always have great sales going on. This is one of my favorite places to shop.

My ginourmous tubes of beach babe. Mmmm. And sample things

They sent a new BB cream to try. Generous sized sample. I can't wait to try it out!

A cleansing wipe for acne prone skin from Murad and an ionic clay mask from Botanics. 

Again, not a subscription at all, but it qualifies since I order it online and it is part of my fun mail.

Wantable Intimates for July!

It's the day after the 4th and I just had a feeling there would be a package waiting for me in the mailbox today. I was correct. I sent my mom down to get it for me while she was here and we opened it together. She had a good laugh at my expense. I will explain as we go through the box together.

The first item I'm gonna talk about are these cute panties from René Rofé. Black  with white lace and a ruffle detail. So adorable! They are worth $12.00

Love these! The color, the lace and ruffle detail, the tiny little off-set bow. LOVE!! 

A close up of both the bow and the ruffle detail.

This next item is a black soft cup lace bandeau. Really more of a sort of light cami than a bra, in my opinion. Should work good with the next item on the list. It's worth $18.00

I dunno how this is gonna work out, but I'll give it a shot. I have a feeling it may be too large.

This is a seamless convertible bandeau, also from René Rofé. It can be worn as strapped or strapless and it has removable cups. It's very soft and breathable and it's worth is listed at $12.00

The next and also last item in the box is a zebra print babydoll with lace cups with ruffled trim and a ribbon detail. It comes with a matching thong they consider a bonus item. I hate thongs. They are not comfortable BUT it a cute item altogether so I can't really gripe. My mother laughed at me when she saw the look on my face when I saw it was a thong. Honestly, I should have known it would have been, but I had hope for the best.  This was the big ticket item in this months box at value of $42.00

*facepalm* This is a little embarrassing. It's cute, but thongs? Oi.

The entire value of the box this month adds up to $84.00. Not bad considering I subscribe for only 36.00 a month. The best part is that you really never know for sure what you're going to end up with from one month to the next and I'm a girl that completely enjoys a surprise. I twisted my moms arm to fill out her profile and now I'm getting her a monthly box, as well. It should be pretty fun to see what she gets compared to what I get. No, I won't be sharing her box with you all, too. Sorry!
