Little Lace Box june 2015

What's in

the box?

My Little Lace Box made it just in time for the end of the month.  This subscription is $59.99 bi-monthly.  I was lucky to get in on the ground floor, so I only pay $39.99.  You do save money by purchasing a larger subscription. Also, Serendipity, a smaller grab bag of goodies, is being sent on the LLB off months for free while they work out all the glitches.

This month's theme was "A girl should be two things - Classy and Fabulous "- Coco Chanel. The letters that they send with their boxes are personable and show that they really curate these boxes with love!  This month's box was inspired by old movies of Audrey Hepburn and Doris Day.

Watercolor silk scarf -  ($45.99)  This is an LLB exclusive and it is beautiful.  I am not a big scarf wearer but I like to to tie them on purses and bags.

Kitsch ring - ($35)  There were two rings given out - both gold rings but one with Amethyst and one with Turquoise.  I got the Turquoise stone.  I love this pretty ring.

LucyB's Apothecary - Nail Lacquer -  ($12.99)  There were two shades of nail polish given out - starlet and premier.  They determined which one you would get by which ring you received.   The Premier one was in my box.

Pour Some Sugar on Me (Lollabambooza) -   ($19.99) There were four scents sent out to box subscribers - You Leave Me Peaches, Coconut Mango Mimosa, and Oatmeal Milk & Honey were the other three. I did not get a scent I like very much.  I would have liked the Peaches or Coconut Mango.  I tried to find these in their shop but no luck.

The Packable Summer Hat by San Diego Hat Company -  ($27.99)  There were three hats sent out in the boxes. I love the one I received.  It is fun and will be nice to throw in a bag to take to the pool or beach for sun protection. 

This was a lovely box - I will use almost everything in it and what I do not will be a great gift.  This is exactly the level of curation I have come to expect from Little Lace Box - they did not disappoint me!  I paid $40 and got a box with about $140 worth of merchandise.  I am eagerly awaiting August's box as the theme is Elizabeth & Mr. Darcy -  characters from one of my favorite Jane Austen books.

 

FabFitFun Spring Edition 2015

What's in

the box?

FabFitFun is a quarterly subscription box.  I got in on the Spring box at the last minute so I just got it in the mail - this box actually ships  in March but I got one before they sold out. This box is normally $49.99 quarterly but I got it for $10 off that and it included a free infuser bottle.

YASI Metallic Temporary Tattoos -   ($36 ) I really do not know where they got their $36 retail price for these.  You can buy these on Amazon for about $7.   I will be passing these on to a friend.

Cosmos Creations Salted Caramel puffed corn - ($1.49)  My hubby likes when there are snacks in my boxes so he will be snatching this right up.   These are Gluten-Free and taste so good - I need to go buy a bunch for snacks around the house.

Merrithew 2 DVD Set "Intense Body Blast" -   ($35.95) This is a fun work out video set and the box also included a $25 coupon for anything they sell on their site.

ORLY BB Creme ($15) and Palmetto Derma Collagen Booster and Restoration Serum ($48)  - and ORLY Nail Polish in Cake Pop ($8.50) -  The BB Creme is perfect for me!  I seldom paint my fingernails as it chips off so fast - this is supposed to soothe, moisturize, and brighten natural nails.   I will give the serum a try but I have been trying not to overload my skin with new products lately.  The Cake Pop is a shade I would pick out on my own so that was a plus too.

Miracle Gro Combination Dill Seed Pod - ($1.49) I do not have a green thumb - like not at all, so I will be passing this on to an aunt who loves growing her own herbs.

Rifle Paper Co Bon Voyage Coasters Set -  ($16)  This is the reason I bought this box and with tax and shipping, the price for just these on the website would be half the price of this box.  I love the London and Paris coasters!  There are 8 - two each of the four designs - Paris, London, New York and Tokoyo.

OFRA makeup brushes -  ($45)  I love getting makeup brushes for free - especially the high end ones that I would never purchase! One is the wide shadow or foundation and the other is for concealer or eye shadow.

Jules Smith Modern Art Scarf -  ($42)  This particular scarf is not on the site anymore but they do have some lovely scarves.  This is not one I would have picked out but it is very pretty and since I rarely wear them, I will be taking a cue from another blogger and tying it on my leather purse this Fall.

 WOW! There were so many little extras with this box too! There was a grocery coupon from Hello Fresh and Vow to Be Chic.  The value of this box was close to $300 and I paid $40.   I did purchase Summer's box but will hold off on Fall's until I see some spoilers.
