Sweet Pea - Bath & Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist

The finishing touch before I head out the door after getting ready is a few pumps of fragrance.

I have a couple of perfumes in my arsenal with brands of Chanel, Halle Berry and Playboy. I am a huge fan of bath and body works and my 'go to' scents are their body sprays in Country Apple and Sweet Pea.

When I received my Influentster Spring Beauty vox box, I was so excited about getting a body mist of my favorite scent - Sweet Pea! I have the body sprays and the lotions in this scent. I was happy to see they came out with a new line of fragrance mist with their current signature scents.

January (?) Gogogirlfriend Unboxing

Hello Beauts!

Here is my January Gogogirlfriend unboxing. This box was meant to be a December box but only received it last week. Boo!

The items received were: 

• Comodynes self tanning 
• Blossoms Lip gloss in sunset
• Blossoms Lip pencil in current
• Blossoms all natural shea butter soap in Brazilian Jasmine
• Renu Derma creamy cleanser
• Blum facial cleanser
• Gogo Girlfriend floating candle
• Spa Terry Cloth adjustable headband

Thoughts on Gogogirlfriend as a company and its products:

This is my second box with GGG and I am not a fan of the company and its products. I feel that they have bad customer service and the products aren't very high quality with comparison to Birchbox.

The monthly subscription payment is taken during the middle of the month and you don't receive a box until the middle of next month. For this box, they deducted the $12.99 in the middle of December and I didn't receive this box until last week. I think that's ridiculous!

The products are items that I wouldn't purchase on an everyday basis, which is the nice thing about these monthly boxes - the discovery of new products. I could see that the total value of the products sent were worth the $12.99 paid.

I ordered a discounted deluxe box during the first couple weeks of December and I will do an unboxing for that once I get it! But for the time being, I have decided to cancel my membership with GGG.

Have you been with GGG for more than 2 months? How do you like it? What do you think of their customer service?

December Blissmo Box

Check out current giveaways!

I just received my first Blissmo Box today!

What is Blissmo Box?

It's a monthly box you pay for where you receive anywhere from $40 or more in value in eco-friendly and organic products from up and coming and well known brands.

Their subscriptions work with a monthly ($19/month + $3 shipping), 3 months ($19/month; free shipping) and 6 months program ($18/month; free shipping). On the 15th of the month, they send you an email of the themed boxes and you have until the end of month to choose their limited supply of boxes. You can choose if you want either a food, bath&body, or household products box. If you decide you don't want the box for the month you can skip too!

December's box was curated by a guest who is the CEO of an eco-luxe beauty company who curated the box with a few of her favorite things.

New Beauty Boxes - GGG & Julep Maven

Check out current giveaways!

Omg! My obsession grows with these monthly beauty box subscriptions!!

I've been a member of Birchbox for over 6 months now and have gotten 2 quarterly New Beauty Test Tubes which I love because I get a box every month with some really fun beauty items! I can't get enough! Goodness!

I received 2 new boxes on December 7th from Gogo Girlfriend and Julep.

Gogo Girlfriend is a beauty box membership that costs $12.99 to receive a box monthly of 6 or more products, discounts on products through their website and you get to qualify to be part of giveaways. 

Thoughts - First impression isn't positive so far. They indicate that they are big on customer service but their delay in getting tracking information after 2 weeks (based off the FAQ section of their site) from signing up has contradicted this. I had to email them 3 weeks after my sign up date of November 2nd and they replied quickly to say that they will contact their warehouse to let them know that I contacted the company. I finally received my tracking email for my shipment on December 2nd and then received my first box on December 7th. Wow, really? This was meant to be a November box but I received it in December. World's different from Birchbox. Although some may receive their Birchbox late in the month, at least its in the month that the box was supposed to be received on. 

In my unboxing, I was not impressed with my first box and was not super duper excited with any of the products. I had viewed previous videos on youtube of previous months and they had some great items. I will say that these items seem to be worth more than the $12.99 I spent. They debited money from my account for 'December' box already, so I will see how I like the next 'regular' box along with the the deluxe box I placed an order for in the beginning of this month. I will keep you posted.
