Bulu Box May 2015 Review

My Bulu Box has arrived for the month of May, and I am excited to see what this month has in store for my health and fitness routine. I love Bulu Box for multiple reasons. It is really inexpensive at only $10 a month, they have a great reward program and offer $5 for each box purchased and $5 or more for each item reviewed  so in other words, the box is completely free, or you can even receive more money to use in the store than the $10 you spent depending on the amount of samples, and I get to sample great health and fitness products that will help me just forward with my routine. 

Each month comes with a product card that describes each sample and also lets you keep a journal of how you feel before and after. I love to hold onto these and write down the results. I save them for when the time comes to turn in my reward points for full size products, so I will always get the items that worked best for me. It is also a fun reminder of what fun items I've received in the past. This way, I will never forget. I am excited what samples Bulu Box has in store for me this month. 

Charak Innoveda Vigomax

$24.00 - 60 capsules

I don't know what to think about this product. First, this is a full size item. It is rare to receive full size items in each Bulu Box, so I am all about that. I received a full bottle of herbal supplements in my last box, and so this was a big surprise. I hope this continues. On the other hand, this product is for males. In my profile, I have female checked off, so I am confused why they gave this to me. Really confused. I guess I will hand this off to a guy I am very comfortable with, because this is such a personal product. Also, in my profile, I do not have sexual products marked, because I don t want to receive them. And what did I get, a sexual product. I can't really review the actual product, because I am not a guy and shouldn't take these. Oh, well. 

Stinkbugs Naturals Cream Deodorant in Tangerine Spice

$23.97 - 6 oz              


This is a fun product to receive in my Bulu Box, and was excited to try it out. Part of fitness, is to keep it fresh, and this product is all natural, so it is healthy for you. I like the tangerine spice smell. It reminds me of fall, and I LOVE FALL. I wan't sure how this is supposed to be applied. I used a finger to grab a chunk and rubbed it over my armpits. This was a little weird. I noticed that this does come in deodorant sticks, which I much rather have. For sitting around the house or going to work, this deodorant is fine. Being in the heat, I did start to smell a little sticky, but nothing too bad. On the other hand, this is not the best deodorant for working out. It didn't hold up too well, and I was stinky. I will definitely wear this while being steady, but I will have to switch to another deodorant before being physical.  

RidgeCrest PhysiQOL Natural Pain Relief

$31.50 - 60 capsules           

I work out all the time, and PhysiQOL is a natural way to fight aches and pains. I, unfortunately, am taking ibuprofen multiple times a week, which I don't like to, but I have a bad lower back, and exercising sometimes makes it worse. I waited until the morning to take these, because that is when I am most sore. I work out at night, which I know isn't great for sleep, so I wouldn't have been able to notice a difference if I took these after my workout. I woke up with sore legs and a sore back, so I took these immediately. Within half an hour, I wasn't feeling any pain. I am going to take two more when the pain sets in again, and will continue to do so until this sample runs out. This product is also a great candidate for spending my points once they add up. 

Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts Natural

$15.99 - 16 oz         

I have sampled hemp hearts in the past, and so while this isn't a new product, I am happy to receive more. I like to throw these in smoothies or eat them right from the bag. I prefer them in the grain, because I enjoy the taste, and the powder form just doesn't taste as great. Hemp hearts have a significant amount of omegas and protein without having a lot of carbs, so the unused energy won't be transformed into fat. I don't notice a difference after eating these, but I just know they are doing great things inside of me. While I've received these a few times, I would be happy to receive them again. 

Infusion Sciences Youth Infusions

$40.99 - 30 pack                       

This is sold out online, so I feel like I am in for something great. Youth Infusion is a stimulant-free energy supplement that also helps with headaches, curbs your appetite, lowers blood pressure, and gives and overall feeling of well being. I added this to a giant glass of water, and it blended in well. It tasted pretty good and reminded me of an Emergen-C. I did notice more energy after drinking this, but my headache didn't go away. I have bad headaches and many things don't work to heal them, so this isn't a big surprise. I was hungry after drinking it, but it was time to eat, so I don't know how well it curbed my appetite. I do like the natural energy, though, and it has other great qualities. 

I am pretty happy with this month's box. Besides the full size bottle of Vigomax, I loved every item, and they were relevant to me. Once the Youth Infusion is back in stock, I think I will have to spend some points to get more packets. I estimate this box to be worth $30, plus I have $10 more to spend in the shop, so that makes this box worth a whopping $40. I only spend $10 on this box, so these products make it well worth it. I've already used up most of my samples, so I am counting down the days until I receive another box in the mail.

Ipsy May 2015 Review - Jetsetter

My Ipsy bag has arrived for the month of May, and while I did some snooping this month to see what is inside, I am excited to check out these products. Ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription bag that delivers five full size and sample size beauty products in a themed makeup bag every month. There have been beauty products that I have loved in the past and continue to buy, so I hope that Ipsy has more of those items in store for me this month. 

This month's theme is Jetsetter. I like the idea of having products that are perfect for vacation wear, or are compact enough to bring them on your carry on. I unfortunately am not going to be jetsetting this month, but I have some plans for this summer, so I'll be holding onto these items until it is I'm packing up for vacation, if I can wait that long. The makeup bag is pretty cute, too. I noticed there are a few variations this month, and I am happy with the one I received. I think the makeup bag goes well with the theme, and the inside is lined with a neon green plastic lining, so it is easy to clean. 

Klorane Smoothing and Relaxing Patches

$21.00 - 7 packets                

I was so excited to see this product in my Glambag. I love using masks, peels, and calming gels. These are a cheaper way to revamp you skin without going to the spa. Plus, these products are always a fast way to make great improvements to your skin. So, if you are going to a tropical place and want to help relax, these are a great travel companion. Or, you need to depuff after the stresses of traveling, these are a quick way to relax once home and get you back on your feet. I used these at home after a rough weekend, and they really helped me relax. They went on cool, which felt great on this hot day, and left my eyes relaxed while getting rid of my dark under eyes. I did see them come back during the day, but at least it worked at first. I wish I received more samples of this, so I am going to save the second packed until I really need to unwind. 

Pixi by Petra Beauty Bronzer in Summertime

$18.00 - 0.36 oz w/ Kabuki brush                 

Ever since receiving a bronzer in one of my Ipsy Glambags in the past, I have been a big fan of bronzer. It is a more natural way of bringing out my cheek bones without looking like I packed on makeup. I also like how bronzer gives me a naturally sun kissed look, even if I haven't seen the sun in months. I like the Pixi brand, even if it is a cheaper product. I do like to receive cheaper brands along with the high end brand, because these are the ones that I usually repurchase. This bronzer looks so natural on my skin, and you can either use a little to keep it more natural, or pack it on for night wear. I also like the light simmer. I am not usually into any sort of glitter, but this helps the summer light bring out my cheekbones. Plus, this is a deluxe sample and will last forever. And, it goes well with the theme of summer travel. 

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil in Ozone

$20 - 1.2 g              

Earlier this month, I saw a spoiler of three products which each Ipsy subscriber would receive one. Out of the three, this is the product that I was hoping I wouldn't receive. I am not one to wear lip liner, and this clear lip liner just doesn't make since to me. From others reviews, I get the sense that this product helps bring out the color of your lipstick while sealing it in. I honestly will never use this product, and will pass it along to a friend. Too bad I didn't receive one of the other two items, because I could really see myself liking them. 

Urban Decay REVOLUTION High-Color Lipgloss in Failbait and Bittersweet

$22.00 - 5.1 ml            


These two lipgloss samples where a bonus along with the lip liner. While they are small and in pill packs, I will definitely use them. I am not one to wear lipgloss that often, because I don't care for the sheen or stickiness. Also, they tend to dry out my lips. This lipgloss did leave a little sheen, but these weren't sticky and they actually moisturized more than they dried out my lips. The sheen was so light, I actually liked it! I am in love with the bubblegum color. I have light skin and hair with pink undertones, so this color works well with me. I wasn't too thrilled about the purple, but it didn't go on as dark as the product shows, and I could actually see myself wearing this to the club when I want to go with a darker, goth look. I probably won't ever buy these, but I am going to use up my samples. Once opened, though, these can't move from my bathroom counter, so I'll have to use them up quickly. 

Bellapierre Waterproof Gel Eye Liner in Ebony

$14.99 - 1.8 g 

I receive at least six eye liners every year in my subscription boxes, and I don't really use them that often, so I wasn't too excited to see this in my Ipsy bag. I did like this eyeliner. The liquid makes it go on really smoothly, and I like how it has a nice pointed tip that will never go down. This eyeliner lasted all night for me, and was actually hard to remove at night. I prefer that to it falling off during the night. This is a full size product, which I am always happy to receive. Also, this would be a great product to throw in your travel bag while jetsetting, because it is still small, and you always plan for a night out when you are away from home. It transforms your face with a single swipe, and sometimes you don't have spend hours doing makeup while traveling. 

Bare Republic Mineral Face SPF 30 

$14.99 - 1.7 oz              

Coola is a brand that I have used and loved, so their new line, Bare Republic, has to be just as great. I have plenty of sunscreen for my face, but they aren't waterproof, so I can only use them during the week. This is going to be my go to when I need to pack something for the lake or a day at the beach. I am planning on spending a lot of time in the water this summer, and finally I have a great sunscreen to protect me. This is a smaller sample, but I will only use it on my face, so this will last a while. It smells a lot like sunscreen, but I won't be wearing this everyday, so it doesn't really bother me. This item is perfect for a jetsetter, and you'll be able to purchase this anywhere there is a Target. I am picking more up the next time I make a trip there. 

I am pretty happy with this month's bag. There are three items I love, two I will definitely use, and one I am willing to live without. The theme was used well throughout each product except the lip gloss, but that was a bonus item. I estimate this month's bag to be worth $44, which doesn't include the makeup bag. I only spend $10 on all these products, so that is a big difference. Plus, I will be able to use some of these items for a long time. I can't wait to see what Ipsy has in store for me in the month's to come. 

If you would like to try Ipsy for yourself, just click here. For only $10 a month, you can discover new beauty products in a cute makeup bag. 

Try the World Review - England Box

Once again, my Try the World box has arrived, and I am excited to see what city is in store this time. Try the World is a bimonthly subscription box that travels to a different city each box and is a collection of food items curated from that area. It costs $39 per box, which is a little expensive, but definitely worth it if the products are items you love. I haven't been completely happy with my last few boxes, but I'm willing to give it one more shot. This is it, so we will see how it goes. 

I am happy to discover that this box features England. I lived in London for a summer while going to school, and I loved it so much. London is my favorite place overseas so this box is perfect for me. I remember a lot of the items I ate while I was there, but to be honest, nothing was too excited. England isn't really known for their food. I hope that the items inside this box will both bring back great memories and also help me discover fun foods that I didn't get the chance to try a few years back. 

Duerr's Mint Sauce

$4.99 - 9.9 oz

The first item I pulled for my England box was this mint sauce. This item is really great to me, because it is totally English, yet I have never tried it before. The product card says to use it as a rub on lamb, but I could see this working great with a pork roast also. A very English recipe is to add this mint sauce to mushy peas to make a dipping sauce for fries, or as they call them, chips. I tried this with a pork, and it definitely gave it a great and interesting taste. I am happy with this item, and it is something that I can use for a while with a lot of different dishes. This product hit England on the nail. 

Grant's Lemon Curd

$5.99 - 12 oz

Yummy! I love lemon curd. My grandmother is always making scones, and lemon curd makes the best spread for the dry, yet sweet biscuit. I am going to make it extra English, and eat it while drinking tea. They recommend using it pies or pastries for a fresh flavor. I probably won't cook with this, because it is just too delicious to eat alone. I want to cherish it. Once they is gone, which will take a while, I am going to have to find this or something similar in stores. Maybe I will try to make it myself homemade. 

Walkers Shortbread Fingers

$1.70 - 6 crackers / 3.5 oz       

I've received this item before in my Love with Food subscription box, and while I am a little bummed that this is an item I have already sampled, I really enjoyed it, so I am excited to have more to eat. These shortbread cookies are super soft and crumbly, and they are the perfect amount of sweet. As soon as I opened my box, I opened these up and gobbled them up. This box is a little on the pricier side, and so I was disappointed to see a sample. They are also pretty cheap to begin with. I love the sample and how much they remind me of England, but the value isn't really there. If I see these in stores anywhere, I am going to have to grab them.

Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Biscuits

$2.59 - 4 bars 1.05 oz each            

This is a new snack for me. I don't remember seeing these caramel wafer bars anywhere, but I could also not have been looking too hard. I looked at their information card, and it says these are a nostalgic taste of Scotland. That is a little weird, because even though Scotland is just north of the country, it is not a part of England. I would much rather see this item in my Scotland box. This candy bar was really yummy, but it had a weird texture. I would definitely eat it again if I had the opportunity, though. Overall, I am happy with this item, but I just wish I received an item from England in it's place. Plus, this product doesn't have much value for such an expensive box. 

Colman's Mustard

$2.59 - 3.53 oz

Now this item is British! I love mustard, especially those on the higher end with a lot of taste. I like mustard for dipping pretzels as a snack or over a loin roast. I am so happy this is now a part of my kitchen, because it is rich in spice and sharp in taste. Plus, I am more excited to include mustard in recipes now that I have one I really enjoy. This is way better than the stuff you get in grocery stores around here. This item doesn't really have much value, but at least this is an item that I can have around for a while. 

Builder's Teabags

$5.99 - 40 tea bags

And of course, tea! What other item would be the perfect addition to an England box. I am on the fence with this product. It is quite large, which means it will last me forever, but it took up so much room in the box that the rest of the items were quite small. Also, this tea very British with its blue collar history, but that makes it really cheap, and I would prefer something a little more expensive and gourmet. I don't really want something that resembles the generic here in the states. I drank this tea the English way with milk and some sugar, and I though it was very delicious. At least with this large box, I will have tea to drink with all the creations I make in the kitchen with the other items. 

I am really happy with this box, yet on the other end, I am really disappointed. I loved this England theme and all the items that were curated for this month's box. I will use all these items, and I can see some fun tea time ahead. On the other hand, I paid $39 for this box, and I estimate this box to be worth only $20.78. That is half I paid. I could have purchased each item on my own and saved myself $20. Also, this box used to come with culture items along with all the food. Without these items, I really enjoy the box less. I think after this box I am going to cancel my subscription. I am not happy with the value of each box, and would rather do a cheaper version that would cost me a fourth while still getting to travel to a different part of the world every month. 

While I have not been happy with the Try the World subscription, this might be the perfect subscription for yourself or to gift to a friend. If you would like to try Try the World for yourself, just click here. 

Try the World Review - Italy Box

My Try the World box has arrived and I have no idea what city I am traveling to with this box. Try the World was originally my favorite box, but the lack of worth, the higher cost, and the generic products have quickly changed my mind. I am not ready to give up on this box, because I still love the mystery of each city, I love getting a glimpse into another part of the world, and I just love subscription boxes of any shape and size. Try the World costs $39 per box, and you get a new one delivered to your door every other month. 

After opening the box, I discovered that this month is Italy. Normally it is a city, but for some reason, this month it is an entire country. I guess that food is normally nationwide, especially for smaller European countries, so this works. My sister just visited Italy, so I am excited to share this box with her, and the items inside. Maybe she will have more insight on how to use the products, and which ones she actually ate there.  

Marinella Spaghetti Mix 

This is the item that I was most excited about in the entire Italy box. I could not find this item anywhere online, so I can't link it or give you a price value. This packet is a dinner within itself, practically. You just throw this packet in a frying pan with olive oil over low heat. In the meantime, boil some spaghetti. After the herbs have come back to life, throw them over the noodles, and eat it all up. I though this was going to be yummy and fresh, but I didn't really care for the flavor. It was a little strong and had a weird taste. I am glad that I tried this out, and it was fun to explore a different culture. I might pick a different pack up when I travel to Italy, but I won't try to buy this locally. 

Scalia Anchovy Fillets

$4.25 - 2.8 oz

I am not too sure about these anchovies. I have never eaten them in the past, nor do I care to try them anytime soon. Anchovies are a staple of food in Italy and are full of antioxidants and protein. That being said, I really don't think that will help me eat these. For those of you who are interested in this item, they suggest to try these on toast with some olive oil or throw them in some pasta with sauce. I will be giving this jar to my father, who has always liked them and hopes that he will enjoy the cuisine from Italy. I just cannot get myself to try these out for myself. 

Colavita Artichoke Pate 

$4.99 - 4.76 oz

This is an item that I am both excited about and have never tried before. This pate spread is perfect for eating on toasted bread or adding to a meat dressing. I had to stir this pretty well before using this, because the olive oil separated. I spread it on some bruschetta toast that was made with some garlic and butter, and ate it alongside some pasta. This spread was super yummy. I am a big fan of artichokes and this pate brought out all the natural tastes and made it into a creamy spread. I am going to eat up this entire jar and then try to find it or something like it in my local store. I am extremely happy with this item. 

Baresi Capers in Salt

$1.99 - 2 oz

Yummy! I love capers so much, and something make food that will go will capers just because I crave them. I love throwing capers on chicken with a lemon dressing or throwing them into a light pasta. The capers resting in salt made them taste a little different then I am used to, but I am happy with the change. Capers are grown in Italy, which I didn't know until now, and are aged for a few months before they are sold on shelves. I am not to happy with this item being in my Italy box, because this is an item I can find in my local grocery store. But, on the other hand, I am really happy that this is something I will definitely use. I will try to use this with some of the other items I received in my box to make it into an Italian feast. 

Leone Candy Originals in Orange

$1.82 - 1 oz

These were a fun little box of orange candies that appeared to be mints that also brought me straight to Italy. This small box is perfect for sticking in your purse for an after meal treat or leaving in your car. These candies taste just like oranges and are really light in taste. I could also see people using these as a breath freshener, as they left my mouth full of a fresh citrus breath and taste. I am a fan of these little candies and wish they were easily accessible. I'll just have to pick up a few boxes the next time I travel to Italy. 

MOGI Blue Coffee

$8.58 - 250 g

I am a big coffee drinker, so this is something that I will definitely use, but it isn't too exciting, because I drink it all the time. I understand they drink coffee in Italy, but we drink it here too, so this item isn't too exciting. On the other hand, their coffee could be a lot better than our Folders, and this looks like a nice brand. I drip brewed these grinds and I really like the taste. It's a little less bitter and sweeter than what I normally drink. Plus, this is a large container, so this will last me a long while. I am excited to drink this instead of my regular coffee for a while. 

Lazzaroni Amaretti Di Saronno Cookies

$9.29 - 200 g          

I wan't sure what I was eating when I first chomped into these crunchy balls, but after researching these, I found out that they are amaretto cookies. These were both crunchy and crumbly. Actually, two of the cookies were in pieces by the time they made it to me. At first, these were super sweet, but had a burnt aftertaste. I am a fan of the amaretto taste, but with the texture, these aren't really the best for me. I will keep these in the kitchen cabinet and maybe someone else will enjoy them. 

Overall, I am not too excited about this box. There was one item that I was really excited about, and I ended up not liking it too much. I estimate this box to be worth about $25. I paid $45 for this box, which comes nicely packed and ships for free with information cards, but I still can't find the value. My last box came with some usable items along with the food that spoke to the culture. I wish that each box forward did that same thing to make up for the lack of value. Plus, it is nice to hold onto something as a keepsake instead of eating it and throwing the packages away. I am going to try out Try The World for one more shipment and make my decision then, but I am getting a lot more items that I can find here in the US, then really experiencing a new culture and their food.  

If you would like to try Try The World for yourself, just click here. They've reduced their price to $39 to make it a little more affordable, and you will receive a box every other month. 

Birchbox May 2015 Review - Elevate Everyday

My May Birchbox is here, and it was quite a surprise. They have been arriving earlier and earlier each month, and I am not complaining. I love Birchbox, I look forward to it each month, and I can't wait to see the samples picked out for me each month. I have already found some items that I cannot live without, and I love that each month may have even more. Birchbox is a monthly subscription box with five beauty samples for only $10. Also, if you review the items, you get a dollar for each one to spend in their store for full size items. I have already spend over $100 of my reward points on the items that I liked the best. 

This month Birchbox teamed up with Emily Schuman, who is a author of two books to help you become the best hostess and interior decorator you could've imagined. Her new book, "Cupcakes and Cashmere at Home," comes out this month, so be sure to pick it up. I looked at her first book, and it really isn't my style, but she has great ideas, and they all look attainable. You don't have to be the best chef, decorator, or baker to achieve her style. I love the box, and all the boxes lately have been in really fun designs. The sherbet color reminds me of early summer when the weather finally turns and dresses, sandals, and tank tops can finally come out of the closet. 

This month's theme is Cupcakes and Cashmere, which is basically the title of the book. This theme is all about how beauty products can change your mood instantly, mostly in a more luxurious and bubbly mood. These items are all picked to elevate your everyday life. I am all about that. I agree that certain products can make me feel so great, and splurging on those luxurious products are always completely worth it. Each time I use my favorite beauty items, I feel so much better. This box is definitely getting me in the mood for late spring and all the sweets that it brings along.

PARLOR by Jeff Chastain Moisturizing Sea Salt Spray

$24.00 - 4.9 fl oz         

I've seen this as a sample choice a few month's ago, and while I was torn between this and another sample, I am glad that I eventually received this item. I've been getting a lot of salt spray in my boxes these last few months, but I'm not complaining. I love the effortless waves they create, just like I was at the beach all day. And at this rate, I won't ever have to actually purchase a full size bottle. This sea salt spray smells great, it reminds me of mango (YUM!). I sprayed this all over my dry hair and with my fingers I scrunched and swirled, which gave my hair just the perfect amount of wave. My hair in normally completely pin straight, so this is an easy way to give it some volume. I could feel the product in my hair all day, like a texturing spray or hair spray, which I didn't love, but I know products can't be perfect. Overall, I am all about this product, and will definitely use it to the last drop.

Naobay Oxygenating Cream Moisturizer

$36.00 - 1.7 fl oz         

This product was my sample choice for the month. I picked it because there wasn't anything else I was too excited about, and it is something that I would definitely use. Also, last month I didn't pick any of the products and received a poorly curated box. I felt like my lack of voice was the culprit to their neglect. So, back to the sample. I am all about face creams, which is how Birchbox explains to use this product. I thought I would love the smell more, but I don't hate it. I love the natural fruity scent, but it smells a little like cheap sugar scented fakeness, which doesn't represent their brand at all. This sample seems large, but the container is half full. I had to squeeze so hard for the first drop to come out. I feel a little cheated. But, the product itself is nice. It is light, which is perfect for late spring, and left my face smooth and moisturized. This item is definitely a luxurious splurge. 

Beauty Protector Beauty Wash Body Cleanser

$15.95 - 8 oz            

Everyone loves this brand. Everyone except me. I've received two hair products in the past from this brand, and while the leave in conditioner was alright, I did not care for the hair oil. I am hoping that because this is a body product, I may feel differently. I tried out this body wash, and while I like it, it wasn't anything special. The suds were lighter, but I did love the cotton candy smell. I am usually not into cheap, sugary smells, but this smells more exotic and summery. I feel like it cleaned nicely, but I won't purchase the full size item. It just wasn't special enough. I will save this for rainy days or when I need a little boost in my day, though. 

Benefit Lollibalm

$18.00 - 3 g         

I have become a huge fan of all benefit products. Their packaging is always really cute and the ingredients are always high quality. I've received Benefit's Lollitint before with my Ipsy subscription, and while I liked that product, this is much better for me. I love the moisture mixed in with the tint, because without it my lips are DRY. Even in the summer. I love how this cheery color goes along with this month's girly and luscious theme. But, I've already received it before in another product, and it would be the last I would choose on my own. Bubblegum pink, coral, red, seriously anything other than purplish pink. Otherwise, I am very happy with this product and will be keeping it in my purse for all the showers and weddings in my future. Plus, it is a deluxe sample. 

English Laundry Notting Hill Femme Eau de Parfum

$70.00 - 1.7 oz            

I am always excited to receive perfume samples in my Birchbox, because I have been looking for a new scent for over a year. At first impression, this is a little heavy for me. I'm into fresher, citrus smells mostly. I wore it around for an entire day, though, and it really grew on me. It smells really luxurious, and would fit perfectly for an elegant wedding. Plus, I noticed the citrus and woodsy tones (both things I really like). I even got over the matronly powder smell. This really does transform my mood and is a fun change. I am happy that this sample also goes along with the theme and elevated my simple day. 

I am super happy with this month's box. Surprisingly my least favorite item was the one I selected on my own. I have not been having the best luck with my last few boxes, and have been really upset with what Birchbox has been selecting for me. They must have gotten the message, because this box completely turned everything around. I will use each and every one of these products. I estimate this month's box to be worth $30.87. I only spent $10 and I get $5 to spend in the shop, so I made out $25 worth of high end beauty products. Each box is really a great deal.
