The Zoe Report Box of Style Fall 2016

Rating: Love It!!!!
Cost: $100/quarterly box; $350 yearly subscription

The Zoe Report Box of Style comes once a quarter and the months the boxes come are always my favorite. The Fall box shipped in September and arrived today! I couldn't wait to see what was inside. I loved the spoiler Hero Item this quarter and couldn't wait to see it in person.

This is one of my favorite luxe subscription boxes! I almost didn't renew, but when I saw the Hero Item I knew I didn't want to miss out on it.

Everything comes individually wrapped in black tissue paper, so it really is like a gift!

The Box of Style always includes an information card explaining everything in the box. I love reading these cover to cover for styling ideas!

The Hero Item this quarter was the Donni Charm Wonder Cape. Retail value $197. I love this item! It's soft and luxurious and can be styled a million ways with anything. It's colorblock in black and white, so seriously goes with everything. It can also be styled as a scarf, but I haven't quite figured that out yet. These are the types of items that make me love the Box of Style and are the types of things I want to see in a fashion subscription! And this really will fit everyone perfectly! It's so perfect for Fall!!!

I tried to style a couple pics, but it is over 80 today and way too hot to be thinking Fall clothes, so the pictures are pretty bad and not really styled. I'll try to snap a pic when the weather cools down and I'm actually able to wear it!

The next item included was the B-Low The Belt Gatsby Wrap Belt. Retail value $105. This belt looks great with the cape and will look great with other dresses and pants I own too. I am in love with tassels, so I think this is great! I love how the tassels have some volume and are not all one length. And black leather will go with everything!

I also received IT Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil. Retail value $24. I don't usually do much with my brows, but I know I should. I love this simple tool because one end is the pencil and the other is a brush. This will be easy to throw in my bag, so I may actually start making my brows look more polished! The color on this also looks perfect for my hair color, so I'm very happy.

Another addition to the box was IT Cosmetics Vitality Lip Blush Hydrating Glass Stain in Mauv-a-lous Darling. Retail value $24. This is a really nice mauve color! Subscribers received an email to choose the color they wanted to receive. I love that, because then I knew I'd be happy with what I was getting. I hope they continue to do this with other items in the box.

Rachel Zoe included a piece of jewelry from her own jewelry line the Rachel Zoe Tassel Bracelet. Retail value $95. I love this! It fits my small wrists perfectly and doesn't look overwhelming on me. And I love tassels, like I mentioned above, so I'll be wearing this a lot!

The final styling tool item included was Hollywood Fashion Secrets Lint Removing Sheets. Retail value $6. These lint sheets are in small packages, so they are perfect to throw in your bag for whenever you may need them. I think this was a perfect styling tool to include for Fall, when sweaters come back into my wardrobe!

The Zoe Report Box of Style Fall box was perfection! I loved everything about it, but my favorite item was the cape!!! The last couple boxes I wasn't crazy about, so I was happy to finally get a box with lots to love. I will be wearing everything throughout the Fall and am starting to wish for cooler weather to style the cape!!! And I'm already excited for Box of Style to release the Winter Hero Item.

Popsugar Must Have August 2016

Rating: Like It!!!
Cost: $39.95/month

I finally received my Popsugar Must Have August box right before the end of August. This box shipped later than most months. I guess an item was delayed so shipping didn't start until around the 20th of the month. I'm happy I got mine before the end of the month, but I would have liked to receive it sooner, because I love seeing this box each month. And I looked at spoilers, because I couldn't wait to see what we'd be getting this month. 

Popsugar Must Have always includes an information card explaining everything in the box. This month I thought I didn't get one because it wasn't right on top like it usually is, but I found it at the bottom of the box. I like reading the information cards to see what Popsugar says about the products. This month's inspiration was motivation, organization, order, fresh, transition, and back-to-school.

The first item I received was Cargo Cosmetics "The Big Easy" Powder Blush. Retail price $26. This was a spoiler for this month, so I knew we'd be getting this. I was happy to receive a light wearable color blush because I have pale skin and my blush is just about gone. This is perfect timing. I will be switching to this very shortly!

The next item included was Cookie Pop Popcorn in Cookies & Cream. Retail price $3.99. This looks like such a yummy snack. I love popcorn and cookie popcorn sounds great. I can't wait to try it and share it with my family!

I also received Unplugged Dusti Screen Cleaner. Retail price $5.99. I wasn't sure what this was until I read the description. These are screen cleaners for your cell phone that can be washed and re-used. You simply stick them on the back of your phone and take them off to use as needed. And they're so cute. I think the cloud is my favorite!

I received the Baggu Duck Bag in Night Mountain. Retail price $26. This bag is made from recycled fabric and has an adjustable strap. I really like the pattern I received much better than the one pictured on the information card. I usually get the pattern I wouldn't choose for myself, but I definitely would have chosen this one. I love the mountain print that doesn't look too literal. It's more like abstract mountains and I love blue, so this bag is perfect! It was my favorite item in this month's box.

The item I was most excited for was the Triple C PowerGloss in Silver. Retail price $30. I saw this when I looked at spoilers and I really needed a portable charger for my cell phone. This one is small and kind of looks like lipstick, which is cute! I needed this, so I'll be putting this to use right away.  

The final item included was Christian Lacroix Paris Paseo Sticky Note Folio. Retail price $13. I really like this! It's embossed on the outside and looks very pretty. And the inside is bright colored ombre sticky notes, which I love. I love anything bright, so these are great! And I can always use sticky notes.

I really liked the August Popsugar Must Have box. It was a great mix of products I will use! And since this box shipped so late, it shouldn't be a very long wait for the September box. I can't wait to see what we get!

GlassesShop.com

This is a different type of post from my usual subscription box posts. Today I'm reviewing an online website for glasses, prescription glasses, and prescription sunglasses. GlassesShop.com allows individuals to shop for prescription glasses and sunglasses in the comfort of their home. They have a lot of styles to choose from, so I'm sure there is something for everyone.

I was approached by GlassesShop.com to review a pair of glasses or sunglasses of my choice, so of course I agreed. I don't wear prescription glasses, so I opted to try a pair of sunglasses. I can always use an extra pair of sunglasses! I perused the glasses online and chose a pair that I liked. I wasn't sure what to expect for shipping time and packaging. The shipping was fast and the glasses were packaged in a small plain white box the size of a glasses case.

Here is a picture of the case the glasses were shipped in. This was right inside the small white box and the glasses arrived in perfect condition.

When I opened up the case the sunglasses were wrapped in a microfiber cloth. I liked that because they were very protected! And it made the presentation nice.

And the moment I was waiting for...the sunglasses. I flipped open the cloth to see the glasses I chose. They were as I expected and I really liked them. I chose tortoise sunglasses with an orange mirrored lens. I have pale skin and black glasses don't usually work for me, so I was very pleased with the wide variety of colors GlassesShop.com provided!

Now, I have to be honest with you...I have a very hard time shopping for glasses online, because my head is small and bigger glasses/sunglasses look funny on me because they take up half my face. I really liked the look of these on the website, so I took a chance, but they are very large on me. I wasn't able to take a picture of them on me because of this. I noticed on GlassesShop.com you can shop by size including narrow, average, wide, and extra wide which is helpful. Unfortunately, the narrow category does not have any items currently. 

I do like the quality and look of these sunglasses and that they can also be used as prescription sunglasses when you add your prescription at checkout is great! The variety and prices are very reasonable, so GlassesShop.com is definitely worth checking out. Most of the glasses come with either a non prescription lens or prescription and some have the option of a sunglasses lens that you can add your prescription to also. I will be checking back for them to add narrow glasses, so I can get some that fit my face better!

In the box they also included a 30% off coupon using the coupon code below. But, I have a better deal for my readers! Use the coupon code GSHOT50 to save 50% off eyeglasses and sunglasses with free lenses (excludes sale frames). So, if you need some new glasses or sunglasses be sure to check out GlassesShop.com

Love with Food August 2016

Rating: Like It!!!
Cost: $10/month

I received my Love with Food August box last week. I still haven't tried all the snacks this month, so I won't be able to comment on everything, but I wanted to show you what we received.

Usually Love with Food includes an information card explaining everything in the box, but this month we didn't get one.

The first snack we received was Ocean's Halo Texas BBQ Seaweed Snack. This doesn't really appeal to me so I haven't tried it yet. I don't really like BBQ flavored snacks and I'm not fond of seaweed, so I may be passing this snack off to someone else.

My daughter ate the Chocolate Crispy Rice Bar. I tried a little and it was really good. She really liked it!

My daughter also ate the Fru-licious Fruit & Cream Smoothie. This was super sweet, it tasted like pure sugar. She tried a tiny bit and didn't like it. I tried it too and it was far too sweet, so this isn't something we'll try again.

We've received powdered peanut butter in a previous box. Before Love with Food I didn't know this product existed. We haven't tried this yet.

We received a different flavor of Goodie Girl Cookies in a previous box. I haven't tried the Quinoa Choco-Chip flavor yet, but I really liked the last ones we received, so I'm sure these will be good too.

We also received PopCorners Carnival Kettle. These are great! They were the perfect mix of salty and sweet and I liked the subtle corn chip flavor. I would definitely buy these again!

We haven't tried the Sheffa Zesty Snack Mix yet. This looks good, but I haven't been in the mood for it yet.

The final snack included was Chimes Toasted Coconut Toffee. I haven't tried these yet. My daughter has been asking to try one, but we still haven't. They look yummy though!

The Love with Food August box included some good snacks. I'm still kind of disappointed with the variety each month. We seem to be getting a lot of the same snacks each month, so I won't be re-subscribing once our year is up.

Pusheen Box Summer 2016

Rating: Love It!!!!
Cost: $43.95 + shipping per quarter

My niece subscribes to the Pusheen Box and I've been impressed by what she receives each quarter, so I decided to do a review of the Summer box she received. This box is always perfectly curated for the season and if you love Pusheen you'll love all the cuteness in this box! Even the box looks like Pusheen and is totally adorable!

There is always an information card explaining everything in the box. This looks like a fun summer box!!!

Each quarter the box includes an exclusive vinyl figure. This month is Mermaid Pusheen! I love love love this and wish I subscribed to the box to get this. I have a thing for mermaids and my daughter loves them too! So cute and great detail!

The next item included was Pusheen sunglasses! I love these too! Such a fun summer accessory to show your love of Pusheen!!!

For your summer drinks they included Pusheen ice cube molds. So cute floating in drinks! And perfect for entertaining friends!

My niece loves the flip flops that were included. They're so fun and the print really matches her personality!

Also included this quarter was a Pusheen iron on patch. I'm not sure what my niece will use this on, but it's cute! I'm sure she'll find the perfect place for it.

This is a picture of the beach ball that was included, but it is not blown up, so it just shows it folded in the packaging. It looks great in the photo on the information card though. My niece hasn't used it yet, so she didn't want to blow it up for the picture.

My niece's favorite item in this quarter's box was this weekend bag. It's huge and perfect for nights at her friend's houses and vacations away from home this summer. This is very much her style. I can totally picture her carrying this around a lot!

I love this drink cup, featuring Mermaid Pusheen! I seriously love mermaids!!! So adorable. I want this for myself!!!

The final item included was a Pusheen Beach Towel. She hasn't opened this up yet. It arrived compressed in a small package, but the information card shows what the towel looks like.

The Pusheen Summer box was great! Each quarter has been amazing with this box. My niece receives lots of useful items featuring Pusheen. If you know a Pusheen lover, I highly recommend this quarterly subscription. You definitely won't be disappointed. It includes the cutest, functional products quarter after quarter. I can't wait to see what she gets for Fall.

Love With Food July 2016

Rating: Like It!!!
Cost: $10/month

I received my July Love with Food box earlier in the month and I've tried just about all the snacks this month. I've noticed we get similar snacks each month and some repeats, so I probably won't be re-subscribing when my year is up.

Love with Food always includes an information card explaining everything included for the month.

The first snack we received was Pure Growth Organic Popcorn. My daughter wanted to eat this first, because the packaging had Anna and Elsa on it! It was delicious. I would definitely buy this popcorn again. It was very tasty and it's organic and gluten free!

We also received Pur Mints Mojito Lime Mint. These are yummy mints that have the right amount of lime and mint flavor. Very yummy!

One snack we haven't tried yet is Barney Butter Snack Pack. We received almond butter and I can't wait to try it. I'm sure it will be great!

I'm getting kind of tired of receiving snacks like Luna Protein Berry Greek Yogurt Bar. I really only eat these snacks at work when there is nothing else to eat and I'm starving. I don't really enjoy them.

Another snack included this month was Pretzel Perfection Twice-Baked Tomato Basil Pretzel Snacks. These were good and had just the right amount of flavor. They were a great snack!

We haven't tried the Chef's Cut Original Real Steak Jerky yet. I don't like these types of snacks, so I won't be trying it, but I'm sure my guy will enjoy it.

My daughter ate the Trujoy Sweets Organic Bunny Shaped Lollipop. I didn't realize it was shaped like a bunny until I typed this description, but you can kind of see the face of a bunny in the picture! My daughter really enjoyed this pop!!!

I believe we received the Yumearth Naturals Sour Beans in a previous box too. My daughter really liked these jelly beans, so we didn't mind receiving them again. These were quite sour, so maybe we received regular jelly beans before. I'm not too sure. These were very yummy!

The final item we received was Jimmybar No Bluffin' Banana Muffin. Like I said about the Luna bar, I only eat these when I'm starving and can't find anything else to eat. These types of snacks are not my favorite. I wish we wouldn't receive so many of them each month.

The Love with Food July box was okay, but included a lot of repeat items and nothing that really stood out to me as amazing. Hopefully August will be a better month. We still eat everything each month, so these boxes never go to waste, but there are definitely months we enjoy much more than others.
