Adore Box: January

1/24/2017

It's time for another Adore Box! If you're familiar with it, you know that I get the Premium Quarterly box. Which has 10 full size products in it that range from all things beauty and lifesyle. This is only the 2nd box that I've received but I think it's definitely been the best. They really impressed me by all the areas that they include in their boxes.

If you've been with me for a while you will know that I used to get Sephora Play! boxes. I cancelled that subscription in December. I wasn't that pleased with it and it didn't warrant the $10 each month in my opinion most of the time. So let me get how much this costs out of the way, and how you can save money. The Premium Quarterly box is $40 a month. There is also a monthly box that is $15 and a 2x monthly box which is two of the same box each month for you and a friend ideally, for $25. You can use code "    HALF OFF" to get 50% off your first purchase. As I did last time I'm going to give you all you need to know about the service itself.
 
So here's how this breaks down:
  • The monthly box contains 4-10 sample and full size products
  • The 2x monthly is 2 of everything in the box that are sample and full size products which has 8-20 items
  • The Quarterly Box ships out every quarter which is (January, April, July and October) and contains all full sized products
  • All boxes ship by the 25th
  • The boxes can include everything from Makeup, Jewelry, Haircare, Snacks, Skincare, Accessories and/or Home stuff.
  • You can pay one box at a time or pre-pay so you don't have to go through the whole checking out process every month or every quarter.
  • They only ship to the United States 
  • A single monthly box is $15, a single 2x monthly box is $25, and a single Quarterly Box is $39.99. Of course if you were to pre-pay that amount would be different.
  • Usually you get twice the value of the box
  • You must sign up 10 days before the end of the month to get the next box.
  • shipping is always free!
  • In this box I got:
  • Kate Spade Tumbler Mug
  • Pop Dental Go Sonic Super Soft (electric toothbrush)
  • Sheiseido Blotting Papers
  • St Tropica Coconut Hot Oil Hair Mask
  • BH Cosmetics Tulip Duo Blush
  • Victoria's Secret Lip Gloss
  • Bath and Body Works PocketBac 
  • Danny Seo Reserve Global Deluxe Body Cream
  • Gem Gem Ginger Candy Bon Bons
  • Lifestyle Products Shea Butter Pucker Up Lip Mask

This box adds up to right under $140. The stand out product for me is the Kate Spade mug. It's because I have a SICK obsession with mugs, tumblers, travel mugs. I just love them. All of them. Any of them. So I think this was basically......pretty bad ass.

My second favorite this is the Go Sonic tooth brush. It has up to 30,000 strokes per minute and it is incredibly soft. I have veneers and electric toothbrushes often seem too harsh for my liking due to the vibration. This doesn't feel like that at all which makes me super happy because your sure to clean the teeth more thorough with it. It also comes with a replaceable head too. I really appreciated that. 

I've also used the St. Tropica Organic Coconut Hot Oil Hair Mask. This is a solid and you warm it up in the microwave. I love this. I'm actually going to purchase more of these because it was super effective and very relaxing. Most Hot Oil hair mask's especially with Coconut Oil, it's so hard to get my hair clean and get that oil out of it. This was not the case with this one, which is why I love them. Also it's a must for a "pampering" night or day. It's only $5 and it is super relaxing. I have very long hair and this coverage and saturated my entire scalp and all my hair. 

BH Cosmetics Tulip duo blush. I already had this but it is very nice and a very good blush. Both colors are very pretty. Especially on darker skin it's very very beautiful. 

The DSR Global Body Cream smells amazing. I don't actually like body lotion or any lotion for that matter. This however smells wonderful. I keep it in my bathroom. I also love the packaging and presentation of this product because it feels like a luxury product for sure. On it's own it's $30 so it's pretty much worth the price of the whole box.

Shisedo Oil Control Blotting Papers. I have these in my bag. I'm not someone who uses blotting papers often on myself but I do keep them in my kit to use on clients. Especially for weddings.

Gem Gem Ginger Candy Bon Bons. I've not tried these yet. The are all natural and the flavor of these are Oh Oh Orange. They're Gluten Free, Real Indonesian Ginger, Kettle Cooked, and Non GMO.

The lip mask is the next thing I'm going to try. I have never tried a lip sheet mask but I've wanted to and I'm very excited.

The VS Lip Silk Sheer Gloss is very sparkling and beautiful and is beautiful on it's own as well as a topper for other lip shades.

The PocketBac is antibacterial gel that you take with you on the go. For quick sanitation. It's always useful to have some in your purse, backpack, baby bag, car, anywhere and everywhere. 

So that was my Quarterly Premium Box for January. I absolutely love it. They do send me the box free of charge but all thoughts are my own. I genuinely love this and I feel like you would too.

Adore Box: Quarterly Premium Box (Oct)

11/1/2016

As you may know, I only have ONE subscription box. However, AdoreBox approached me to try their's and I couldn't resist. They have a "monthly beauty and lifestyle box", "2x monthly beauty and lifestyle box", and a "quarterly premium beauty and lifestyle box" which is what I got. 

So here's how this breaks down:
  • The monthly box contains 4-10 sample and full size products
  • The 2x monthly is 2 of everything in the box that are sample and full size products which has 8-20 items
  • The Quarterly Box ships out every quarter which is (January, April, July and October) and contains all full sized products
  • All boxes ship by the 25th
  • The boxes can include everything from Makeup, Jewelry, Haircare, Snacks, Skincare, Accessories and/or Home stuff.
  • You can pay one box at a time or pre-pay so you don't have to go through the whole checking out process every month or every quarter.
  • They only ship to the United States 
  • A single monthly box is $15, a single 2x monthly box is $25, and a single Quarterly Box is $39.99. Of course if you were to pre-pay that amount would be different but there also is a surprise for you at the end of this post. (wink wink)
  • Usually you get twice the value of the box
  • You must sign up 10 days before the end of the month to get the next box.
  • shipping is always free!
So for my box the total value ended up being right under $140. I got 10 full sized items. Some brands I had heard of, others I hadn't. There was a good mix of higher end things and drugstore, which I personally really like. 

In my box I got
  • Micheal Maron Powder Brush ($9.99)
  • Gift Card to Sweet and Spark Vintage Jewelry ($25)
  • Kiss imPress press on Gel Manicure ($7.99)
  • Cetaphil wipes (7.99)
  • Trust Fund Nail Polish in Hollywood Hipster ($18)
  • Dermasilk 5 Minute Beauty Peel ($12.99)
  • Lash Revival Serum by Sculpt ($19.99)
  • Korres Lip Cooler in Raspberry ($19)
  • Moondani Natural Breath Mist ($12..99)
  • Epielle Hydratng Gloves ($5)

They also sent me some coupons as well which I thought was very cool, and I will put them to good use.

You get an insert of what everything costs along with a note that if you don't like something you got in your box you can trade it on www.eDivv.com.

There was nothing in this box at all that I was disappointed with, I was actually super impressed with everything. I really liked how there wasn't only makeup and skincare, there was a gift card for jewelry, and breath mist, nail polish and press on nails (which I love), and more.

I liked everything in it and I've been using a lot of the products already. The only thing I had tried before was the Kiss imPress Press-On Manicure. I actually have another box of these on stand buy because I love press on nails, trust me they've improved people! So I knew I would like those already.

I've been using the Cetaphil wipes like CRAZY. I was so glad they were in the box. I also used the 5 Minute Beauty Peel from Dermasilk, because I've been doing so much Halloween makeup with body paints that my skin needed some help and I really enjoyed that as well. It wasn't crazy intense (let's get real you see the word "peel" and it gets intimidating) and my skin was super smooth afterwards. I've been using the Lashsculpt ever since I got the box because I have very thin and fine lashes and I'd always wanted to try a serum but, other than some DIY serums I made, I never had. So, I've been using that for about 2 weeks. If it goes really well, I'll do a full review on it. Like I said though my face has been having a harsh month, thanks to constant scrubbing to get off makeup, and my lashes have been taking a beating as well. However, I do notice that they don't seem to be as affected as they usually are during the Halloween madness, so maybe this is strengthening them. We shall see.

I carry the fresh breath mist with me in my purse, as well as the Korres Lip Cooler in Raspberry because I'm obsessed with the Lip Cooler. It has a metal ball at the end of the wand which is what cools your lips and it's just the coolest (no pun intended) thing I've seen in a really long time. That's difficult to say most of the time because after a while everything is kinda redundant in the beauty world. Things are still exciting because you know they'll be great but not often do you see stuff that's very exciting because it's brand new to you, and something you've never seen before. 

Like I said I'm just super impressed by this box. I can't wait for the next one in January, because remember mine is a Quarterly box.

I saved the best information for last though because you can use code "HALFOFF" and get 50% off your purchase, pretty sweet right? If you are looking into a subscription box, then I strongly urge you to look at adorebox. They are far better than any subscription box I've seen as of yet. 

**This was sent to me, but these are my honest opinions. I was not paid to talk about it**
