Influenster Harvest VoxBox

Tuesday, November 21, 2017

#HappyMailDay

I received the Harvest VoxBox from Influenster late last week and couldn't wait to share it with you all!



Look at all that loot!

Eva NYC Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer
$3 off Eva NYC coupon for any hair product or tool
Due to just getting my hair colored I haven't used this spray yet.
That being said, I can't wait to try this out!
I love Moroccanoil Hair Oil, so I can't wait to give this one a try :)


Vera Wang Embrace - Green Tea & Pear Blossom
If you know me, than you know I am NOT a perfume person.
Most of them are just way too strong for me.
But this is delicate and light. Crisp and fresh.
I will absolutely wear this!


Gain Botanicals Laundry Detergent - Orange Blossom Vanilla and White Tea & Lavender
$1 off coupon for Target
If you look closely at the picture above, the Orange Blossom Vanilla sample is missing.
That is because I already used it, and love the smell!


Tree Hut Coconut Lime Shea Body Butter
This stuff smells amazing!
My skin needs this creamy body butter in the winter with all that dry heat in our house!
Lather this one at night and wake up with your skin feeling super smooth.


Two VIP Coupons for ANY Cole's Middles Product
I had the pretzel with cheese version of these at a friend's house and they are SO STINKIN' GOOD!
You better believe I am picking these up on my next trip to the grocery store!
We love Cole's garlic bread too!


One FREE 15 oz. tub of Country Crock Buttery Spread
I grew up using Country Crock and still buy it today.
It is my go-to butter spread for cooking, baking, you name it!



**I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

January Stitch Fix #2 Review

Wednesday, February 1, 2017

After I received my last fix and didn't have much luck, I thought let's give it another shot.
Another fix, unfortunately another stylist :(
If you remember from my last fix, I requested to have Ali again.
While it wasn't perfect, I thought she got my style for the most part.

So here is my review for box #2 


First up is this striped sweater and light wash skinny jeans.
It is hard to tell from the lighting, but that those stripes across the body are black not purple.
And those stripes on the arms are pink.
Let me back up and review with you my thoughts on pink <insertalltheyuckyfaceshere>

My profile clearly states not to send me anything in any shade of pink.
Take the pink away and the sweater isn't all that bad.
But it was a bit roomier than I would like.

As for the jeans, I liked the minimal distressing and even the zippers weren't too bad.
However, they were mid rise at the waist.
Again, something I have stated in my profile that I don't like :(

41HAWTHORN Lizzy Colorblock Striped Sweater - $68 - RETURNED
PISTOLA Tory Distressed Ankle Zip Skinny Jean - $88 - RETURNED


Next up is this cold shoulder top that is all the rage these days.
I actually had a similar style top back in middle school.
Let's start with the obvious...pink flowers!
I hate to sound like a broken record, but I am going to.
Again, pink is on my do not send list.
Higher than pink....FLORAL!
JELLA C Clarnella Cold Shoulder Top - $44 - RETURNED


There is no sugar coating this swing top.
Well, maybe...the color was nice.
Other than that, why would you wear this unless you are a stick figure or pregnant?
#sorrynotsorry


LE LIS Yosha Thermal Knit Swing Top - $48 - RETURNED

The final item in my box was this camo jacket.
Ok, so maybe this stylist glanced at my Pinterest boards or profile for a second.
I feel like this was thrown in my box just to get me to spend money seeing as the above pieces were 100% not me.

Honestly, this jacket was super cute and I did think about keeping it but then I looked at the price tag.
I just wasn't cute enough worth it.
DEAR JOHN Casco Bomber Jacket - $78 - RETURNED

So believe it or not, I actually sent the entire box back!
First time for everything I guess :/
I think I am going to postpone ordering another Stitch Fix box until Spring.
But, that doesn't mean I am done trying to update my closet! lol!
I think I am going to head back to Evereve Trendsend and see what they decide to send me :)

Do you get a subscription clothing box?
If so, which ones do you get?
Any I should check out?



January Stitch Fix Review

Thursday, January 19, 2017

I received a gift card from my lovely mother for Stitch Fix so I couldn't wait to order my next box!
I must say, after my last box I was anxious to see if I would get my old stylist back.
And if I would get items I requested.

I always go for the style card first.
Unfortunately, Erin wasn't available so Ali gave it a try.

And now for trying it all on...

Up first is the Dark Green Laila Jayde Busby Cowl Neck Zipper Detail Knit Top $58 and the Just Black Cordelia Skinny Jean in black $78.

I was super excited that I finally received some black skinny jeans, and the green on that top was great!
Unfortunately, those jeans looked like and felt like someone else may have tried them on and sent them back. They were a little stretched out in the waist and I just wasn't feeling it so I returned them.
I loved the zipper detail of the top, but the overall shape on me felt weird so I returned it as well.


Next up is the 41Hawthorn Kavanagh tie Neck Blouse in Grey $54
Now I don't mind leopard/cheetah prints, but this was a bit much for me with the gray background.
Plus, if you would have heard Mic's reaction to the print you would have sent it back too! lol!
Returned


Papermoon Wigan Shoulder Zip Knit Top in Black $48
Loved this at first sight, so I was really hoping it fit well...and it did!!! :)
I, of course kept it!


Pixley Ashton Crochet Lace Kimono in Black $48
Umm, no.
So I don't mind the crochet/lace look, but the open front was a no from the start for me.
I prefer tops/sweaters/etc that close.
So it was returned.

In the end I only kept one top, and due to the fix before that not being up to par my style fee was waived for this box.
So I paid the cost of the top I liked and kept, and sent the rest back free of charge.

Now I do have another fix on its way to me because that gift card is burning a hole in my pocket! lol!
Fingers crossed it is great!
I did ask to have Ali again in hopes that she understands my style preferences a little better this time around.
We shall see!
