Bespoke Post "Weekender" Review [May 2014]!

Bespoke Post "Weekender" Review - May 2014

Wow, this one is pretty past due, lol! Still catching up (this is #2 for today)!

Anyway, I love Bespoke Post! Their products are high quality and well curated. The "Getaway" box included a bag that I've been wanting for YEARS! Well, not this exact bag, but it's pretty similar. A few years ago, when I was living in Brooklyn, I saw a guy carrying a bag like this and I fell in love. I asked him about it and he said it was actually a tool bag and it cost like $10 in a hardware shop around the corner. I ran over to the store as soon as we were done talking but they were no longer carried :( When I saw this bag at Bespoke I had to have it!! It was way more expensive but I used some racked up points to bring the cost down a little. 

I couldn't find the actual cost of the bag so I don't know if this box was worth $45. I use the bag all the time though so it's worth it to me! The bag is really well made and feels like it'll last for years. Oh, and you can fit a TON of stuff in it!! I was shocked at how much I could stuff in it! I even used it for moving, lol! 

If you haven't tried Bespoke Post yet, I would definitely recommend it!

Beauty Box 5 July 2014 Review

Beauty Box 5 Review: July 2014

SUPER late, I know!! I'm catching up on all my blog post drafts; nursing school has been crazy busy since the semester is almost over!

On to the box! I thought this one was a bit blehh, but still some good things in there. I put some of these up for swap on My Subscription Addiction.

Revlon Bold Lacquer Mascara = $7.99 (Found at Walmart for $3.80)

I tried this mascara and thought it was average. It's a little blacker than my usual black mascara (L'oreal Double Extend), but doesn't lengthen as much as the l'oreal. I definitely will not buy this mascara in the future.

Miss Jessie's Multicultural Curls Styling Lotion = $16 for 8.5 fl.oz.

(on the Miss Jessie website you can buy these sample packets for $2)

I put this hair lotion up for trade.

Anna Naturals "Glowing Mama" Walnut Face & Body Scrub - $11.99 for 4oz = ~$1.5

I put this scrub up for trade.

Hask Argan Oil: Intense Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment (1.75oz packet) =$2.29 ($27.58 for 12 packets on Amazon)

Body Drench: Candy-licious "lemon drop" lip balm = $3.99

Total Value = $13.58

Beauty Box 5 costs $12/month so I guess the value is near what it costs to get it, but it seemed lacking for some reason. Like these were the bottom of the barrell samples and products. Also, if you go to their website the lists of what came in past boxes don't match up to what I actually got, maybe I missing something, like its a list of what you could've gotten? Idk. On to the next post! :)

-xo,
