July Summer BBQ Crave Box

I was happy to come home and see my Cravebox waiting for me at the door. It was drenched from the rain, but a carried it in happily.

So let's take a look at the contents!

From mozaik 48 piece appetizer set.

First I have to say these are these super cute! The white ones  like glass plates. The forks look like silverwear. It is so cute and a great concept! I cannot wait to use this for my daughter's birthday party coming up next week.

From True Lemon, 10 pack drink mix

I love these portable drink mixes and I especially love lemonade! These are great especially on vacation when you buy bottled water which is cheaper than soda, and you can make your own flavored drink and it doesn't weigh anything in your bag. Oh Cravebox did you read my mind?

Check out their FB page and follow on Twitter too!

From BIC, a coupon for a BIC multipurpose lighter. I already cashed this one in cause BBQ time is coming and I need this so I wont torch my fingers in the grilling process. I will be doing some outdoor cooking next week for my daughters Birthday. So far everything is going to good use! I also have so many candles and I had the smallest lighter known to man to light my candles and let me tell you reaching in a candle that is nearly burned to the bottom is quite awkward to light and a little hazardous to my fingers too!

From Mighty Leaf tea in Sunburst. I have not brewed this yet. I think I want to wait to share this with others who love tea like me. My dad is a tea drinker and he will help finish this off with me. I think adding the lemon drink mix to it might be a tasty mix. We will see.

Also from BIC, Flamedisk. For outdoor grilling. This is such a great idea. Especially when you want a quick light up and it burns for up to 30-45 minutes. I especially like the clean and quick clean up. Who likes to clean their charcoal grills? Raise your hands..... No one does! So pleased and will be using this on the Birthday too!

Everything will be put to good use! A great prize for me, cause this was so worth my $10 which is the cost of the Cravebox. Everything went together perfectly and will help with putting on my Summer Party for my daughter's Birthday!

July my glam bag

July 2012 My Glam Glambag

Here are my 1st thoughts and what came in my Glambag!

Let's take a look of each item below:

From Buxom, Big & Healthy lips. 

A pretty pink neutral shade with a hint if "zing" when applied! I love when they have this minty feeling. I always pull towards products like these. It is not too sticky and is great for an every day look.

From Juice Beauty, Green Apple moisturizer with SPF 15

This has a very strong scent. It took me some time to find out what the scent was similar to, but I finally figured it out and it smells like Pledge wood cleaner. It is a thick white cream and is a little strange when applying it only because of the relation to wood cleaner in my head. It does the job and I like that it has SPF 15 in it. The good thing about Juice Beauty products id the antioxidants that they have in them which I like. I am not sure I will have this as my go to moisturizer though only due to the scent being a little bit of a turn off. 

From YES to cucumbers, facial towelettes. 

I have not opened these up just yet cause I currently have 3 different face wipes open. I have heard many good and bad things and cannot wait to form my own opinion of them. 

From Andrea's Choice, Circus nail color in Somersault

I thought it was great that we have a product from 

one of the Glam Girls. This polish is made very well. 2 coats and it is completely covered! This is a tester I did when I opened it. It even covers the polish I had on which was a pink color. I can't wait to do my whole manicure with this. 

From NuMe, Hydro Punch Hydrating Conditioner. 

 This smells nice and I am going to use this very soon. 

That is my My Glambag for July. By the way the bag this month was the cutest one yet!

May Cravebox "A TASTE OF THE TROPICS"

I am so excited! This is the main subscription service that I am the most excited for! Cravebox in my opinion is better than any other subscription service, cause there are not only beauty products, but home items, treats, hobbie items, health items and so much more! There are many full size products and high end items as well. You can not ask for anything better. This month was based on The Taste the Tropics. Included in the Cravebox are:

• 2 packages of the Sunsweet Plum Amazins - If you like raisins but not all the sugar this is a great alternative. It as less calories and a lot less sugars (13g vs 29g per 1/4C) 

• A sample of the Lipton Tea and Honey to go pack in the flavor ........ and a coupon too!

• 18 oz Tree Hut Coconut Lime Shea Body Scrub (approx $6-$15.72 depending on where you purchase)- The smell was so refreshing and calming. I wanted to stick my fingers in it immediately. I have never used a body scrub before and used it that night. Where have I been? I think I have definitely not been in the "Tropics" I think I was in the Desert all this time. When you use it the first thing was putting my fingers into the tub it was the coolest feeling! What a weird texture. When I applied it to my body I know that this is going to get rid of all my dead skin immediately. This is such a great product! I will never let this run out in my shower!

• 6 pack of GuyLian Artisanal Belgian Chocolate Sea Shells (approx $4.16)- When I opened the box I took a bite and was so happy, can you say YUM!. I am usually picky when it comes to sweets. I am not a sweet eater I prefer the salty things, but this was so tasty and my kids enjoyed it too. I shared with everyone. I love these little truffles! I am adding this one to my list of Likes in my sweet list and there are not many. I usually pass on chocolate. Nice touch. Available in Publix, Wal-Mart and many other locations.

• 2 oz Skintersection Intense Repair Cream (approx $17.95)- I am using it right now on my feet/heels and elbows. This is so moisturizing and well needed. It is a very thick cream and has nearly no scent at all which is great. Sometimes scents can be really strong and I appreciate a cream with minimal or no scent. I like to wear my perfume and not have a clashing lotion/cream to fight with my perfume.   

This was a great surprise for me this month. I enjoyed my last Box that I won in March (the February Box) and this is just as pleasant. No sour face here. Thank you for letting me in on the CRAVE of CRAVEBOX!

Beauty boxes and bag subscriptions

I have 3 pending deliveries coming in the mail  

Holiday VoxBox, Glam Bag and BirchBox

• 1st is from a new company http://www.myglam.com/. This is from You Tube Guru Michelle Phan. This is a monthly subscription of $10 a month and you get deluxe and full sized beauty products. What's different about this and birch box is that you can get help and inspired looks from stylists with the items received in your Glam Bag. Not to mention they are going to have full sized products in it as well. They also tell you what is in the months Glam Bag before you even get it, which makes you so excited to open your package when you receive it. So I am here tapping my nails waiting for the 1st Glam Bag to come in and share with everyone. By the way shipping is FREE too.

• 2nd is fromhttp://www.birchbox.com/  This is a $10 monthly subscription beauty box. You get 4-5 deluxe samples from great companies. Stila, Aveda, Nars, Redken, perfumes, etc. Sometimes you get some random items too, but it is a surprise every month. It's Like Christmas once a month. So I cannot wait for this month's Box. And by the way the box is so cute too. So try to recycle it and save on waste. Shipping is FREE here too. 

• 3rd from http://www.influenster.com/ is my 1st VoxBox. It's actually going to be the Holiday VoxBox. This is completely for free. You can get anything from beauty, health grooming, snack, beverage and more. Just complete badges and when they have one that fits you, you will receive it in the mail. So keep up with it and make sure you complete as much as possible. I joined on Nov. 2nd 2011 and I was invited to get the Holiday VoxBox on Novemeber 26th. Sharing the info is the best way to get invited to these types of things also. So don't forget to share on FB, Tweet and you tube it if you do that! Yep FREE shipping here too.

So whats coming in the Holiday VoxBox? A-Little-Fun-this-Season-Holiday-VoxBox

• Some type of  "eye-catching nails" nail strips I believe
• a "face mask" 
• a "liquid lipshine" something that I think can last from the hints they give 
• "Flavorful fruits and spices" this one I don't know what it is. A snack, fruit chews? who knows, but I can't wait to find out.
• a "zesty fresh breath freshener"
• last a "coconut soap". I love the scent of coconut. 
• I also hear some may get an extra something if they qualify for it.
