Ipsy July 2013

My July 2013 Ipsy Glam bag came yesterday and I was super excited to see it waiting for me when I came home from work!


The package was bulging this month! I LOVE the pink packaging and it always gets Churro's attention when it comes in the mail.

This month's theme is Beach Beauty

I really like the bag they chose this month! It's a different type of shape than usual and I like that it is more waterproof than any that I have gotten before.

Here is a little preview of all the items that were in my bag!

California Collection Eyeshadow Samples including Hollywood, San Francisco and Malibu. I am really not an eye shadow kind of girl and will probably never use these colors but I did swatch them on my hand to see what they look like.

Coola Mineral Sunscreen moisturizer- Organic Suncare Broad Spectrum SPF 20. I am a sunscreen fanatic so I will definitely be trying this out. I really don't wear makeup and I don't go in the sun often so I don't wear a daily moisturizer but my go to is a mary kay tinted moisturizer- might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Mai Tai. I have never used Nailtini polish because I am more of a Julep kind of girl but I was happy to see that it is a triple-free polish. The site describes this as vibrant sunrise coral. Its not really my color but C was already eyeballing it for her toenails so we will be trying it out at least.

Pop Beauty pouty pop crayon in Coral Crush. I found these described as Lip balm crayons and I am a little more excited about this now. I don't like sticky or dry lip stuff. I am really a chapstick kind of girl but I am going to give this a try soon!

Big Sexy Hair Weather Proof Hairspray. This is a humidity resistant spray. We don't have much in the way of humidity here in Montana and I never use hairspray. This is the one product I was a little bummed to get because I really wanted to try the Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Beach Spray that I saw other people got but no such luck.

 

Overall this was a pretty good bag. I am not much of a makeup person but I can't resist this subscription service. It's only $10 and I always get my moneys worth of products that I will at least try. Plus I LOVE getting things in the mail.

First Subscription Box Review! July 2013 Love With Food

My first subscription box review!  We have been subscribing to Love with Food for awhile but this is one of the better boxes we have gotten I think .

First look- I just opened the box and am really loving what I see (I LOVE caramel popcorn, toss in some sea salt and I'm in heaven!)

This month's theme is Fun on the Boardwalk which I think is really fun and perfect for the summer

Nature's Bakery Stone Ground Whole Wheat Strawberry Fig Bar- This is something that Churro will enjoy and will probably even share it with Pitters. I would love to try this BUT unfortunately Gestational Diabetes really limits my carbs and so I have to pick and choose the things that I really want. This doesn't quite make the cut but I'm sure the girls will enjoy this.

KuKuRuZa Hawaiian Salted Caramel Popcorn- *drool* I LOVE salted Caramel anything. I'm not a huge fan of popcorn but I will eat it when my other criteria is met. It bugs me that they don't have nutrition facts on the package and I couldn't find any on their website either. I ate this anyways and unfortunately my blood sugar was not so good. Hey, I shared it with Churro at least so I didn't even eat the whole package.

Uncle Henry's Sourdough Handmade Pretzels- I was sad to see these almost completely crushed. I will probably feed these to the girls for a snack but we haven't tried them yet.

Lord Nut Levington Rebel Mary Peanuts- This is interesting to me. I'm not a drinker and have never had a bloody mary but I will be giving these a try. We shall see if they are tasty or not

Twang Twangerz Flavored Salt Snack Topping (Lime, Lemon Lime, Chili Lime, & Dill Pickle)- I have never heard of these but I am looking forward to trying them on some air popped popcorn. It will be fun to see Churro's reaction when her popcorn tastes very unexpectedly.

 

Necco Wafers and Angel Mint All Natural Orange Salt Water Taffy-  I despise Necco Wafers and when I showed my husband that they were in there he laughed and told me to enjoy my chalk candy. I have no intention of eating the Necco Wafers but I think Churro will try them out at least. She had one of the Taffys this morning and really liked it. She kept telling me it was sweet and chewy and she took tiny bites to savor it. Must be good!

 

Vermont Smoke and Cure All-Natural BBQ Beef Stick- I think this will be a work snack for my husband. I really don't like beef jerky but its nice to see some real variety in the box. 

Overall, this was probably our favorite Love With Food box that we have gotten so far. Lots of tasty treats and a fun summer theme.
