What is the Total Beauty Collection?

The Total Beauty Collection is the ultimate beauty goodie bag, chock full of trial size cosmetics samples. And unlike most samples box programs, there’s no subscription required, so you don’t get stuck paying a monthly fee. Instead, you get makeup samples and other beauty samples from our favorite brands, making it easy to test out beauty products and find your favorites before you spend money on the full-sized versions. The Total Beauty Collection is essentially a pretty present delivered to your door, no subscription strings attached.

Sneak Peek:

Just Released is the The Red Carpet Ready Collection includes:

Over a $50 Value, with 7 Items Total:

• Over $50 Value


• Includes Living Nature Lipstick valued at $33.50

Total Beauty Collection is just one of the many favorite Collections @Totalbeauty. Why?

1. They have the best customer service… didn’t speak to anyone just sent an email when my box went missing (only once) and it arrived within a matter of days!

2. I always love the extreme value within the boxes…look at my past box reviews.

3. This box has the best shipping ever…I usually get my box within 2 to three days from order (give and take holidays, snow, and all the good crappy environmental things that get in the way of my subscription happiness…lol). However, each location may differ.

4. What subscription box service let’s you continually get discounts off each box….huh… that is not heard of right! Wrong, Total Beauty allows multiple coupons, just not the same one twice! Love it!

I am a Total Beauty Fan… anytime there has been a collection I just have to have it! In every box I find that there is just the right blend of products, and I have never been disappointed.

Cloud 9 February 2014 Monthly Treat Box Review

Cloud 9 Monthly Treat Box 

Cost: $15 (plus shipping in the U.S)

What is Cloud 9 Monthly Treat Box?

This Family owned new start-up hand selects every item and tries each product in order to ensure great quality is going into their  subscription boxes! Each box comes packed with a mix of  samples of delicious gourmet treats, beauty products, and even surprises!

Choose between: The Cloud 9 Sample Box – a mix of samples of gourmet foods and beauty products or February Chocolate Box.

Cloud 9 graciously sent me there February Chocolate Box to review this month! Let’sstart reviewing!

As pictured above, the white subscription box is dressed with a delicate pink ribbon/twine holding the contents within. The Partner’s Crackers were to bid for the box so they were safely tucked around the box in the white padded envelope the box came in.

Goodness! I am already amazed with the variety of chocolate and the thought that went into this subscription!

Included was a lovely note card that elaborated on why they selected chocolate for the their theme for the month of February!

On the back of the note card was a list of every product and why each item was selected for the box.

Jiva Cubes: Hot Chocolate (2 pack) $1.25

Each cube is packed with fine Colombian Cacao and unprocessed  Panela brown sugar! The tiny Jiva cubes take portability to a new level and allow you to drink Cocoa on the go! My daughter loves hot cocoa and tried this and said it was “pretty yummy”!

Plush Puffs Gourmet Marshmallows (Chocolate Chipetta) $1.33

These cocoa flavored  marshmallows are laced with micro-mini chocolate chips! My daughter and son live off of marshmallows and had a field day eating these fantastic creations!

Plush Puffs Gourmet Marshmallows (Chocolate Chipetta) $1.33

Another shot of the actual Marshmallows… yummy!

Big Nanny’s Biscottis $1.50

The soft and delicate biscotti tasted light as air and simply melted in our milk! I like a crisper biscotti, but this was nice for a change.

Lake Champlain Chocolates: Milk Chocolate Carmel & Dark Chocolate Raspberry (2 of each) $3.25

The bite-sized milk and dark chocolate hearts were filled with smooth, rich caramel and a blend of raspberry (dark chocolate has raspberry filling). The decadent chocolate was quite a treat and made my taste buds crave these little delights!

Partner’s Crackers: MiaDolci Chocolate & Vanilla Swirl Cookies (2 oz) $1.37

These crispy and lightly sweetened crackers are one of my favorite things in the box! If wheat thins and teddy grahams had a lightly sugar coated baby these little crackers would be that baby! They are so good I immediately ordered more on Amazon ( 4 6.5 ounce boxes for $17.85)!

DeBrand Rasberry Truffles (1 truffle) $3.00

The fantastic ending to my chocolate adventure was with one of these DeBrand Raspberry Truffles! n the very first day I devoured this edible piece of art and found myself hitting the floor in awe of how good this chocolate really is! I immediately told my husband that next Valentines day I want DeBrand’s Truffle Collection or Classic Collection for my gift!

I was truly amazed at the fantastic selection of products included in this chocolate box! Although the subscription box only had a value of $11.70, what I believe to be more valuable (then looking at the mere cost) is the experience gained! I was able to find Mia Dolci Partners Crackers to be delightful and was able to try DeBrand Truffles for the first time! This is what subscription boxes are all about….  receiving hand selected goods that you would never have tried on your own, let alone known about! Also, the items included were a perfect example of products that you could not simply sample on your own.  For example, the Truffle would have cost me $18 just to try one (the truffles only come in sets)!

Everyone places a different value on subscription boxes. However, I believe the most valuable contribution that subscription services give to consumer’s is the ability to experience brands they would never have tried before for only a portion of the retail price! The February Cloud 9 Monthly Treat Box was a perfect example of what sampling is all about!

Barkbox

Cost: $19 (plus shipping) for the first month with Coupon; $29  (plus shipping)each month after

Coupon: New Customers save $10 off any length subscription to Barkbox with coupon code BARKPOST 

What in the world is Barkbox?

When you sign up for BarkBox, every month you will receive a box in the mail with four or more carefully selected products and presents for your dog – anything from toys, bones and all-natural treats to hygiene products and innovative new gadgets! A portion of proceeds from each box will go to help doggies-in-need.

Here is my February 2014 Barkbox  review!

Barkbox customizes your dog’s box based on your dog’s size, all items in this box are for my 14+ pound Miniature Pincher Naps (named that because he always naps and has a Napoleon complex). Your Subscription box will include a detailed card (pictured Above) labeling the items included.

Sushi Pups  $5

I love toys with a humorous background! This sushi toy was a big hit for my little pup!

Loopies Doggie Stoggie $11.92

My pup when crazy when he saw his toy and loves to play fetch. This durable fetch stick even made me want a cigar!

Max & Ruffy’s Tree of Life: Coconut, Molasses, and Flax flavored mini treats $5.25

My pup is the type that literally will eat anything, so I have been trying to get him off the people food band wagon. It was no surprise he loved these treats, which is great because they are organic!

Complete Natural Nutrition Dog Treats (Cheese Please) $5.99

Both a human and pet snack….hmmm… I’ll pass on eating treats for my dog, but my pup loves this all natural training treat!

Etta Says Crunchy Rabbit Chews $0.99

The 7 Inch Crunchy Rabbit Chew is a unique mixture of rawhide and meaty chewable treat. Within seconds this treat is devoured, so I must say it is always a welcome treat in my house!

Barkbox always saves me that dreaded trip to the pet store, where I always impulse buy and spend too much money on so called deals for my pup. Pet Smart is like Walmart… you go there for one thing and come out of there with more stuff than you can physically use in a month! With Barkbox I can relax at home, and have confidence that every month Naps (my pup) will be taken care of within a budgeted amount

The box is valued at $175 and up! Each box will include a Kai Roll On Perfume Oil  Retail $48! The roll-on scent is a blend of fresh gardenias and white exotic flowers… I hope it is not too floral because I am not to keen on smelling like a bouquet. However, I am slowly going more and more floral every day… my husband says it is more of a girl sent… hmmmm… so much I could have said to him…lol!

Escape Monthly February 2014 Subscription Box Review

Escape Monthly

Cost: $49.95

Coupon: Use code NEWYORK to get 20% off the life of your membership and a bonus item! (Expires end of Feb)

 What is Escape Monthly?

With an average value of $100+, each box makes it easy to experience the best of your bucket-list without destroying your budget. It’s like a vacation in a box! Every month discover a new place, with the experience of escaping to foreign lands or top rated vacation spots from the comfort of your home. Each box contains a special treat that allows you to pamper & indulge your senses, which gives you the full experience of getting away! Offering Full-Size Luxury Products and Gourmet snacks this experience gives you all the tools you need to relax and unwind.

February’s box will be themed with the thoughts of bustle of the big city to the rolling farmlands upstate! We are traveling to NYC!

Now onto the review!

Let’s take a peek at what the New York box has to offer!

In every Escape Monthly there is a brochure outlining your travel experience and the descriptions of the items contained in your box.

Inside your Escape Monthly brochure there are travel offers and even a price listing of the retail value of the products included!

Moon New York City Metro Guide (Hardback) $14.99

The fold out map inserts give details of subway routes and street names to the hottest sights, shops, restaurants, and amusements within the Big Apple!

I enjoyed going through this guide to see all the places I went to in my younger years.

Brooklyn Studio Travel Tin Candle $9.00

Everything about Brooklyn Candle Studio’s candles is natural! Brooklyn Artisan’s use American-made ingredients hand-poured is  small batches. This lemon grass scent is perfect for me!

Flint Creek Good Skin Blend Soap $3.00

These soaps are made with bentonite clay (a clay mined in the USA known for its deep-cleansing properties) and contains a blend of pure plant extracts. The scent of this bar first smells like eucalyptus mint, but then the scent fades into a pleasant almost evergreen clean scent. My husband loves this soap’s scent!

Kanpekies Peckigram Cookies (chocolate cherry) $8.00

I am not a fan of shortbread cookies, but I had to try at least one for the sake of this review. I could definitely taste the wonderful chocolate cherry flavor, but the shortbread taste was just not for me.

The Peanut Principle Gourmet Maple Peanut Butter $6.99

I could not find this brand online, but I did find some others with really high ratings. This will be new to me… hmmmm… Maple and Peanut Butter? The Maple doesn’t stand out and the peanut butter is really creamy. I think this will be great for peanut butter cookies…yum!

Sundaes Best Hot Fudge Sauce $6.50

The first thing I saw was how you can use it to make hot cocoa. I immediately grabbed my mug, filled up some hot milk, and mixed me a sensational glass of hot cocoa.

Better Brittle West African Style Peanut Brittle $4.75

It’s nice to have a change every once in a while. I am not much of a peanut or peanut butter person, but every once in a while I like to try different things. I was impressed with this brittle… it does not have the traditional chunks of peanuts and had a nice smooth taste!

New York Taxi Treats Cookies $2.99

At first I was not happy seeing more shortbread in the box, but these little cookies tasted like the old animal crackers I use to eat as a kid. Luckily these boxed cookies came in handy when watching my nephew! They were a perfect size and melted in his toddler mouth!

I Love New York Sticker (Bonus) $1.49

Although the sticker was not impressive at first. The facts behind the sticker actually made this sticker more impressive as I read! Fact: The sticker is a classic symbol created in 1977 by Milton Glaser to promote tourism, which the graphic is seen as pivotal part of pop culture!

I was not impressed with the value of this box being only $57.71 if the cost is $49.99; however, seeing that I only paid $25 for the box (50% off coupon – expired) the value was fantastic. The good news is that subscribers can save 20% off each month (new coupon code every month) with the life of their subscription making the subscription only $39.99! Next month the planned escape will be focused on Ireland, which will be an interesting box to get (especially for the upcoming holiday).
