Of all the Healthy Snack  Boxes out there this one never has let me down!

 

The Tasting Room is a Wine Company who sends you  a case of wine every quarter from Lot 18. Prices start anywhere from $59.95 with shipping to $149 plus shipping.

The wine tasting kit for $9.95 is what I ordered and contains a sample 6 mini bottles and creates a Tasting Room wine profile to maintain your wine preferences. I love that you can cancel your subscription at any time! I am now just waiting for my December shipment of wine for just $59.95 for 6 Full Size Bottles!
I hate picking out wine only to find I don't know what I am doing. Now I don't have to,; with their tasting kit and profile Lot 18 will send me orders based on my taste automatically!

Great Gift Idea's 3

Ipsy 
Cost:$10 per month

For the Make-up lover or the person next to you slobbering over your most recent Ipsy  Subscription. 

 

Seriously, if you have not tried Ipsy at least once, you need to give it a try.

 

The reasons:

1. Makes a great gift for yourself or someone you know who wants to experiment with make-up but does not want to spend a lot each month (only $10 per month)

 

2. The teaser's (aka spoilers... aka sneak peeks) taunt the subscribers every month, creating an undying thirst for more... I love the rush I get from hoping to get one of the revealed items in my box.

 

3. THE COST!!!! If you are looking for a cheap gift for a woman, teen, step-mother, mother-in-law, tween, or even sister... then look no further! At only $10 a month you can gift this subscription and be sure they will love it!

 

If you are worried about not having anything under the tree, than order the first box early (December's if you can get in...there is a waiting list) and put it under the tree with a note letting them know their subscription length! Otherwise, use this as a stocking stuffer and take a picture of an IPSY bag (there are hundreds online) and gift the note with the details of the subscription!

 

If you can't get in until January, then start the NEW Year off right and SPLURGE!

 

Here are some of the items I received in My GLAM Bag for November!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, Ipsy gives you well beyond your $10 per month worth. I am highly pleased with this purchase, and can't wait to start exploring the different ways to wear my Ipsy colors. One thing I must say, is that Ipsy pays attention to details, unlike many other subscription services. I have a yellow and tan skin tone and the Ipsy staff pay much attention to what may flatter your skin tone. Fantastic service @Ipsy !

 

Please remember the contents within my bag may be different from yours. The result of your answer on your beauty quiz can vary the items within the bag, so a word of advise is "be honest with your answers and think carefully".

Favorite Ipsy November 2013 Subscription Box

Sample Ipsy Glam Bag

After reviewing my contents of my Ipsy November 2013 Subscription Box earlier, I had to narrow down my favorite product from my Ipsy $10 per month subscription.

This is the first time, I ever had a hard time finding just one item to like... well, in this case love. I think i narrowed it down... although, I adored the liners included in the Ipsy November bag, I loved something a tad bit more.

Alright... here we go...

Pixi Beauty Bronzer 

Color: Summertime

My complexion is mixed with yellow tones, so I find it hard to find a Bronzer and for the longest felt as though I didn't need one (how dare I!). 

According to Pixi:

This deluxe bronzing powder gives your complexion the warmth and luminosity of naturally sunkissed skin. Hydrating, silky-smooth & long-wearing, it also protects against free radicals.

I must say, that the formula is very smooth and does give a great sheen on my skin. 

I am able to contour my high cheek bones and give my skin a healthy glow.

This is a product to try!

Ipsy Subscription Box November 2013

Sample Ipsy Glam Bag

Ipsy November 2013 Subscription Box $10 per month

I subscribed for the Glam Bag, which is one of the three looks you can subscribe to through your Beauty Profile Quiz. The picture above is how the Ipsy Subscription Box arrives and the contents within the pink bubble wrap. The contents shipped well and I was impressed none of the contents were damaged.

Here is all the products I received... most of the time I do not pay attention to the many spoilers on the IPSY blog; however, with all the hype I couldn't resist. I always wanted to try some of the products hinted in the spoilers so I peeked (although it did ruin the surprise a bit).

Here is the contents:

Starlooks
Gem Eye Pencil Full Size $14 

Color: Topaz 

Color is a fantastic shade of silver and this is the best metallic pencil I ever used. The color is a mirrored match to the image and that is the same color you get on your skin (regardless of your skin tone).

em michelle phan
waterliner intense color eyeliner Full-size $20

Color: Teal Tease

The color is amazing, but a bit hard to smudge. It even includes the blender and sharpener.

Pixi Beauty Bronzer Full Size $18

Color: Summertime

This bronzer gives a luminous glow and is the first bronzer I have found that worked perfect with my skin tone to give great definition.

 

Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon Full-Size $14

Color: Hot Damn

I love trying shades of red, so this glossy formula lip crayon will be exciting to try.

BH Cosmetics Galaxy Chic Baked Eyeshadow Sample Single Color $.99

Color: Eclipse

Nailtini Straight Up Color Nail Lacquer  Full-Size $13

Color Caviar Cocktail

As you can see, Ipsy gives you well beyond your $10 per month worth. I am highly pleased with this purchase, and can't wait to start exploring the different ways to wear my Ipsy colors. One thing I must say, is that Ipsy pays attention to details, unlike many other subscription services.
