Ipsy is one of my fun subscriptions. Ipsy sends out a Glam Bag full of full size and sample beauty products, for $10.00 a month. You fill out a survey about your makeup preferences and then Ipsy sends a bag geared to your preferences. Once you get your bag, you can review your items online, and tell Ipsy what you thing. I love the reusable bags, because they are always so cute and functional.
The Bag
I say this every time, but I love the Ipsy envelopes.
This month's theme is “Glam is Up”
You can take a picture of your bag this month and share it on Instagram or Facebook, to try to win a 1 year Glam Bag subscription
Em Flyer
Em is giving 30% percent off to Ipsy subscribers on the emconsmetics.com/ipsy by using the code ipsy30
I always wear black eyeliner, but I will wear this. This is fun silver color. I am not brave enough to rock some wild eyeliners, so the silver is perfect.
This is part of the new line Em, by Michelle Phan. This mascara has a scoop brush that lifts and curls lashes, as it lengthens. This is smudge proof and smear proof, that lengthens without clumping. Honestly, I was a bit disappointing that I received mascara. I would rather have eye shadow, lip gloss or blush. It is nice mascara, just not exciting.
This is described as “Pure, all-premium nail lacquer in gunmetal gray spiked with shimmer.” I love this polish and it will be great on a night on the town.
This is a funky color and I love playing with makeup. I look forward to using this.
The Whole Bag
The make up bag this month was a glamorous gold bag. It is very sparkly and could even be used as an evening bag.
Final Thought: The total value of this bag was $79.00! Okay, I was a bit blown away by the value. Ipsy is only $10.00 a month. Even taking out the bronzer, my bag still had an amazing value. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with Ipsy. It's $10.00 a month, and you get a glam bag filled with sample and mostly full size make up items. You fill out a personalized quiz, and Ipsy sends make up based on that quiz. Once you get your items, you can review the items and say what you thought. If you want to sign up for Ipsy, click HERE.

Citrus Lane sends 4-5 products for children from newborn to age five. Citrus Lane sends, toys, snacks, bath products, lotion and more. Subscriptions are $25.00 a month and there are discounts for longer subscriptions. My two sons L (age 4) and T (age 20 months) get Citrus Lane. Citrus Lane sent me the 4 year old box for review.
The Box
Normally, the Citrus Lane colored stripe is yellow instead of pink because of Breast Cancer Awareness month in October
First Look
The box is in awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness month and Men's Healthy Awareness month in November. Citrus Lane always used bright yellow tissue paper and a Citrus Lane sticker.
Bowstaches
Citrus Lane also made some pink “bowstaches” for kids to wear this month. They are pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month and they are mustaches for Men's Health Awareness month in November.
The Information List
Full Contents
Citrus Lane includes a full list of all the box contents with websites and pictures. Another detail I love, is the letters at the top. You can cut them out, and help teach your child the alphabet.
L ate this up as soon as he received the box. I like that these are non-gmo and gluten free. It is also the only cheese corn puff that is USDA certified organic.
Tiny Prints Free Address Labels/Shipping w/$99 Order
You can get 4 sets of address labels and free shipping with a $99.00 order. I rarely order a large order of pictures, so I won't be using this.

I am not the best cook, and I have been wanting to find a great meal delivery subscription. I saw an offer from Plated to try two free plates, so I signed up. Plated is great, because you can signed up for a regular subscription, or you can just buy plates when you want. You have to buy a minimum of four plates when you order, I chose the skillet lasagna with fall root vegetables. I decided to get 4 plates of it, since I have a family of four.

The Box
I love seeing the pink and white box on my doorstep.
Jammed Pack
The tissue paper could barely hold all the items together. I love that.
First Look
It was love at first site. The candle and chips caught my eye first, and I couldn't' wait to take it all out.
Information Card
Popsugar has some of the best information cards in the business. Their cards are actually booklets. They are full color and include why Popsugar picked the item. I like they also include the company's url. I hate having to Google for that information.
Information Card-Back
As you can see from the booklet, there was tons of items in the box.
This has a spicy wooded scent and smells fantastic! Other subscribers got he Nice scent, which is a sweet vanilla fragrance. I love this candle and is just my kind of scent.
I suppose, this is supposed to be use on a fancy croissant, but it tasted out-of-this-world good on my toast. I love this, and will have to find out the best place to buy more.
These are 100% real apples. They are caramel and sea salt covered apples. They are so tasty and not super hard either. I have had some apple chips that are super tough, but these are crunchy goodness.
This folk art wrap is wonderful. It is 40″ by 83.5″. It can be worn as a wrap, scarf and probably some other creative ways I haven't thought of. This would be great for a movie date. I also love, that it is worth more than I paid for my box.
I love nail polish remover pads. Remember I am a klutz? Well, I have spilled nail polish remover too many times. These will be perfect, no over powering smell and they are quite effective.
This seems like a pretty interesting website with some nice stuff.
Final Thought: I really loved this box. The total value was $120.00, outstanding value. Popsugar is the one box of my favorite boxes. I loved this month's box. My favorite item is the wrap, it is so luxurious. The whole box is fantastic. One of the great things about Popsugar, is all the stuff in the box is such great quality. If you get something that is not quite your style, it can be easily gifted. If you want to try Popsugar, click HERE and use the code REFER5 to save $5.00.
The Crowded Tub is a subscription box that helps your family lead a safer, healthier lifestyle. Each month they send eco-friendly, safe and non toxic bath toys, along with all natural and organic body care products. I love that there is a subscription box company that makes bath time safe and fun. The Crowded Tub picks out the best toys for bath time, so you don't have to worry about them growing mold after a week. They also pick out the safest and best body care products, so even little ones with sensitive skin can have soft skin.
Poop Buddy is a subscription box that helps make your walks with your dog, a little more fun and less messy. Poop Buddy sent me one of their subscriptions to review and I loved their subscription. Every month, Poop Buddy send eco-chic poop bags, along with two selected products for your dog. One thing that stuck with me, is they donate 10% to WWF and dog rescue organizations. I love a company that gives back.
Why do I need to use a poop bag?
Using a poop bag from Poop Buddy is eco friendly. “Eco-Friendly: A term used to refer to goods and services, laws, guidelines and policies claimed to inflict reduced, minimal, or no harm at all, upon ecosystems or the environment.” 40% of dog owners don't pick up after their dogs. When dog waste is not picked up, it goes into the soil and into the water systems. Most water treatment facilities are not made to properly filter animal waste. This means it could end up in your drinking water, YUCK. Dog waste also carries Salmonella, E.coli, roundworms and tapeworms. The nitrogen in dog waste can also kill plants, wildlife and fish. To protect our drinking water, ponds, lakes and rivers, the best way to dispose of your dog's waste is to put in a bag and throw it away.
The Details:
Cost: 1 month: $10.00 a month
3 months $9.00 a month
6 months: $8.00 a month
What's in the box? You will receive a monthly themed set of eco chic poop bags with at least two carefully selected products for your dog, from all-natural treats to chews and unique accessories. You will get at least 80 bags each month. You can email [email protected] if you have an extra large dog and extra large needs.
When do they ship? They ship the 15th of the month
These have 3.5 calories and harvest fresh sweet potato is the primary ingredient. These are soft and chewy and perfect for all dogs. This will go to my parent's dog.
This is for dogs or cats to support a healthy digestive system and intestinal track. You mix the right amount with water (amount depends on the weight of the animal) and then add it to food. I will try this with my cat and my parent's dog. Both pets are in their senior years. This is made with Papaya leaf, plantain, slippery elm, organic pumpkin seed, pectin, papain and fennel. There was also an offer to try a sample bundle for dogs or cats free!
The Bags
The bags were super cute and perfect fall colors. The patterns were: orange with bones and puppy paws, yellow with puppy paws, brown with bones, and orange. There were several bags that would last awhile.
The Bag
The bag seemed sturdy and I liked they are cute. Who wants to walk around with an ugly grocery store bag. I thought the bags were very sturdy. I didn't have a dog to try them out on, but they worked great for my son's dirty diapers and my cats indigestion problem. It's great to have a set of bags that can be used for my pets and baby!
The Box
Final Thought: This is a great subscription. If you subscribe for a year, you only pay $8.00 a month. I like the extras that Poop Buddy included. I will giving some of these bags to my parent's, for their dog and using some for me. Some of those 40% of dog owners who don't pick up after their dog, live in my neighborhood. This will be great to help clean up some in my yard. Better yet, I might tie some bags on the mailbox with a note (Maybe a bit much). I also love that they give 10% back to charity. This is a great service for dog owners. If you want to sign up for Poop Buddy, click HERE.
