Onto the unboxing.  Be forewarned, there was a lot of stuff in this box, so this post may be a bit longer than normal!

Okay first up is this make up cloth by Thursday Friday.  I have never heard of this company before getting this cute little bag

I used this already once and it fit quite a bit of my toiletries! I was actually surprised how roomy the pouch is because it looks rather small.  The zipper is also amazing; very smooth and doesn't get caught.  This make up pouch was made pretty well! This retails for $35.  Im not sure if I would go out and spend that kind of money on a make up pouch, but I do enjoy having it!

Next up is the FabFitFun Water Infuser BPA-Free Water Bottle which retails for $15. 

I haven't gotten a chance to use this yet but it seems fun.  It has a little tube in the inside where you can add fruit and herbs to infuse the water.  At the bottom it says "grab life by the exercise balls."   :|   Not sure how appropriate that is, or how I feel about it. I will probably still use it and $15 for a diffuser water bottle isn't too shabby!

Next thing I saw in the box were the POPchips.  I LOVE POPchips; they are a great healthy alternative for fried chips. I didn't grab a picture of these, but the sample bag was just a single serving size of the sour cream and onion flavor.  The bag was completely smooshed.  Most of them were crushed which was pretty disappointing.  The single serving bag cost $1.29.

The other food product in my box was the Slimfast Have Your Cake... Meal bar which retails for $5.49 for a box of bars.

I still havnt tried this yet, and I am a bit apprehensive to do so.  Ive never really been a fan of slim fast.  

Next in the box was the Zoya Nail polish (Retails for $9) in the shade Elodie.  This wasn't that bad. It had decent wear; but I think I will stick with my Essie polishes.

I also got two toiletry products: a Skintimate Shave gel ($1.99) and Always Xtra Protection Long Daily Liners ($1.50).

 

I used to use Skintimate in high school so it was fun getting a small sample size of this.  I don't use shave cream on a daily basis (I prefer to use hair conditioner; its much more hydrating) but I will definitely use this up.  The panty liners were actually kind of nice.  They aren't flimsy and stay in place for the entire wear.  Im not sure if I will purchase them because I don't think I would use them regularly, but they were fun to try out.

Next up were the KISSTEX Lip Balm ($5.99).

This was probably the worst product in the box.  The "concept" behind this set is that its meant for couples.  One partner wears one flavor and the other partner wears the other and when you smooch you get a tasty combination of the two (I got the flavors chocolate and strawberry). First off, I don't use any lip products with SPF in them (it causes my lips to get super chapped).  Second of all, the packaging looks super cheap and I didn't even enjoy opening it up.  I didn't try these on so I do not how effective they are (but I probably will not be trying them anyhow).  Definitely disappointed in this one.

3 more to go! And, Ive saved the best for last :D

Probably the most EXCITING product in the box is the Sonya Dakar Flash Facial which retails for.......wait for it........$95!!!

This product claims to reveal softer, plumper, and younger looking skin.  To use the product you pump some out and spread it (quickly!!) onto your face.  I recommend doing one side at a time as it peels very quickly and do not rub it between two fingers to apply; apply it directly to the finger you are using to apply the product.  Then let the product sit for about 60 seconds and then being to exfoliate (using your dried fingers) to rub the product off.  With the product will come any dead skin (which seems more disgusting than it actually is).  This product is pretty fascinating.  I have only used it twice so I don't want to give it a formal review but it seems to be doing what it claims so far.  

One downside of this product is the packaging.  The little white part on the top is the pump and there is no cover; this means that traveling with this product is just not going to happen.  But overall, I am super excited to continue experimenting with this product!

Next is Balanced Guru No Frizz Oil which retails for 25$.  This is hair oil that supposedly tames flyways and keeps the hair healthy! I have yet to try this out.  Im currently obsessed with the Agave Oil Treatment (which you can pick up at here) so once I am finished with that I will be trying this out!

FINALLY THE LAST PRODUCT!! 

This is the pur-lisse pur~protect SPF 30 moisturizer.  This retails for $55!!! I am not sure if I would EVER by a sunscreen this pricey in my life! I still have not gotten a chance to use this product either. It doesn't have that typical sun screen smell which I do appreciate. 

Anyhow...That completes my unboxing! This box had a grand total value of 245.77$.  That is absolutely amazing! I am definitely satisfied with this subscription and will probably continue my membership!

I hope you guys enjoyed this(and didn't get to bored with how long this was!!).  Let me know if you guys want to see more unboxings!

(also again I apologize for the poor picture quality; I am still working on getting a hold of my camera!)

Snack Fix: Dang! Thats Good Coconut Chips

Tonights post is going to be short and sweet.
I went to whole foods tonight to do my regular grocery shopping. I always let myself have one little treat on my whole foods trips: either some type of dessert or a new type or snack or anything that just looks delicious.  Today I was so proud of myself; I had made it through ENTIRE store without purchasing a single 'treat' item.  I got to the cashier and these Coconut Chips were staring right at me. I asked the man at the register if he has tried them before because I had seen them around and had been refraining for quite some time. He said he hadn't but he said he would give me a bag to try for free! He rang it as inventory (this isn't the first time someone from whole foods has done this; I love this policy because most of the time I do go back and repurchase the item). It was so incredibly thoughtful of him!
I got home and immediately tried them.  Unfortunately I decided to have ZERO self control today and I ate the entire bag. However here is the link to their website so you can check out what they look like! I tried the original flavor and my god are they addictive! They have this delicious roasted crunch to them and just the perfect amount of sweetness! I AM HOOKED! This would be a great addition to my greek yogurt, cereal, salad, or even just to munch on as a snack.
I highly recommend you guys go out and try this! It was definitely worth the calories!

Review: Dior Addict Lipstick in Princess

Hey guys!!

SO SO SO sorry for being so absent lately! Things have been a bit hectic with school, so I had to put the blogging on the back burner.  But I am back for a mini product review!

I have never owned a lipstick before.  I always have had chapped lips (which I have talked about at length in my previous blog posts), and have never felt confident enough to buy one.  However, lately they have been doing pretty good so I decided I needed to venture into the lipstick world.

Since it was my first lipstick (EVER!), I splurged a bit and purchased the Dior Addict in the shade Princess.

The packaging is so stunning! The picture doesn't do it justice.  The case is clear and has this rainbow reflection which just looks amazing.  Now opening the package took a little while.  I felt pretty silly actually.  I kept trying to pull from the bottom of the package, where it looks like a normal lipstick would open.  It didn't budge.  I started freaking out and getting upset because I thought my packaging was just defective.  However, I was being super silly and realized (eventually) you just pull from the little ball at the bottom!

This is the shade I decided on! It looks bright but when applied, it is a sheer baby pink that just adds the right amount of color to the lip.  I am so incredibly satisfied with this product! Its not overly drying (not really hydrating either though; I put a lip balm underneath to make sure I stay hydrated). The color is pretty long lasting too.  I drank an entire iced coffee and you could still see the color on my lips; although this is not a stain!

Overall, this was an amazing purchase.  I will defiantly be exploring the other colors in this line! You can buy them here from Sephora!
