 MY FIRST EVER POPSUGAR MUST HAVE!!!!! November box :)

 Packaging gets an A+! Easily my new favorite box. Ipsy is a close second.

Illume Candle in Naughty -- $15.75

 For a change, lets start with my favorite item in the box! The Illume Candle in Naughty. It smells like cologne, fireside, and spices. It is AMAZING! Raving like crazy about this on twitter/instagram check it out!

Sea Salt Caramel Apple Chips by barefruit - $2?

 These are alright....I ate them but I wouldn't go out and purchase them. You can't really taste the caramel.

Absolute! Nail Polish Remover in Spring Fresh 32 Pads- $2

I havent tried these yet...but I work three times a week and paint my nails in between (can't have them painted at work) so I will get a lot of use out of these...and they smell awesome!

 The Soap and Paper Factory Roland Pine Shea Butter Soap - $10.00
Normally I would be bummed about soap, but this one smells amazing! I used it twice now and I will continue to use it :)

Land's End Wine Tote- $14.50

I don't drink wine so I won't be able to use this for myself, but I will definitely be gifting it so that is always good

Michael Stars Folk Art Wrap- $42.00

The value of this scarf....more than the box itself! I love it. It is so adorable and I will wear it all the time, I already have worn it once! I love it so much and luckily I got the great deal on it. So cute!

Overall: I am kind of obsessed with PopSugar. Sure it is a little pricey, but the items are so much fun! It is such a surprise every month and the items NEVER disappoint. Plus, the value of every box is through the roof! I forgot this also had a 30$ giftcard to canvaspop! I won't use that most likely, but still this box is my new favorite! LOVE!

Your Bijoux Box November Box

First impression: it is only the 9th of the month and my box is already here!!!

I was so excited, but extremely skeptical, for this box. It is a pricier monthly subscription (35$ a month), but the quality is extremely nice. I also got a free gift (code will be below) with my first box, which made the 35$ REALLY worth it, granted being gifted the box to review would be super nice. I don't know if I can 100% afford this box on a monthly basis, so it will be a whenever I can type of box for now. Also, I LOVE THIS PACKAGING! My one wish is that they had a rewards program.With that said here were the contents!

"Elise- Thank you for joining! Enjoy the sparkles! Dorota"

How adorable is this little note? It really shows how personally each box is, they even signed my box!

The inside of the box..did I say how much I love the packaging yet? It came with a cute cloth to clean my jewels with, these super nice velvety black bags and the adorable light blue tissue. Love already before I even open the contents. Also, they have basically no spoilers, I secretly asked on twitter(follow me @comboforqueens) and they gave me one, which makes it a true surprise! 

The first item is this amber, black, and sparkly bracelet. I think it is really adorable, but I am not quite sure how to style it. Also, it is not entirely my normal style. Totally willing to take a chance with it though, or worst comes to worse I can gift it with the holidays coming.

The second item was this AMAZINGLY ADORABLE necklace. I was skeptical, until I tried it on. It hangs perfectly on my neck. It can be worn with a ton because the colors are pretty muted, which I adore. It is slightly a statement necklace, but not too in your face. I basically am in love with this piece.

Lastly, I got this gold chain necklace. This was free with the code "sparkles" at checkout. I think the coupon is still available with your first box, so definitely try it when you subscribe. I love one-colored jewelry because I can go grab it and wear it with so many things without having a screaming jewelry statement. This piece will be worn all the time. I love it so much, especially for the cold season coming up. A cute sweater, boots, and jeans? Yes, please.

So that is it for this month's box. Overall, I am pretty much in love. Let's hope I get enough money to splurge on next month's box, or receive it to review (hint, hint ;) ). I highly recommend this box!! 

Prize Candle

So I decided to try a new surprise box type thing.... Prize Candle! They have all these super delicious sounding scents. I tried the Autumn Magic scent. The Pumpkin Spice was sold out :(. Needless to say, I  love fall scents :)!

It smelled amazing!!

Here is the ring I got...it is a little big but so pretty!

However, the Prize Candle experience was not the best for me. First of all, I read reviews and it said two to three hours of burning before you see the prize. I can deal with that. However, after about three hours I could only see the very tip of the bag! I tried digging with tweezers, bobby pins, and even a spoon without luck! I had to burn it FOREVER, and I nearly destroyed the candle trying to get out my prize. Don't get me wrong, I love the candle, but half the fun is getting the ring and I am NOT that patient. I wasted several hours of burning time by just trying to get to the ring. When I finally got to it, it was stuck to the side and the bottom of my candle. I had to dig out the bag with a spoon then remold the candle!! It really was awful. I love the ring (10$ value) and the candle...but getting to the surprise was stressful.

My October Ipsy came!!!!!!!

 Here is the cute little pink package it comes in! (Ignore my messy room yikes!)
This month was an absolute love for me! I got the package and it already felt super bulky before I even opened it. Here were the five AMAZING items I received.

The theme this month was "Art of Beauty"

First Item: Coastal Scents- Medium Shadow Brush (FULL SIZE..well obviously its a brush) 

worth $2.49

I have not used this brush yet. However, just by looking and feeling it, it is a really good quality brush and I am excited to use it (probably tomorrow)! I love getting new brushes so this was great for me.

Second Item: StyleSexyHair- Spray Clay 1.4 Oz bottle 

worth $6.99

I have super frizzy and curl fighting hair. It wants to curl but just looks messy instead. I need constant products to tame and keep the shape of my hair. This product seems like it could really help my hair and I am super excited to try it!

Third Item: LA Fresh Oil-Free Face Cleanser 10 Wipes

Full Size (30 Wipes) worth 10$ .... Samples Size (10 Wipes) what I received worth $3.99

I just ran out of makeup wipes so these will be fun to try. Not the most exciting item but not bad my any means...just not my favorite.

Fourth Item: bella terra Mineral Cosmetics- Mineral Shimmer in Navy (FULL SIZE)

worth $14.99

This item alone pays for the box itself! I researched this and it is kind of an all in one! It seems like just an eyeshadow but you can add clear polish to make it a polish or you can add a little water to make it a liner or add a creme to make it a creme shadow etc! I am so excited to experiment with this! Comment if I should do a post on this product alone!

Fifth Item: Zoya Nail Polish- Mason (FULL SIZE)

worth $8.00

I love nail polish so getting a full size is always fun. I have never tried this brand but I have only heard great things about it! I saw in my glam room that the other two colors (a super pretty metallic emerald and a navy) were ADORABLE! This was my last choice in color so I am a little disappointed. However, it is still a cute polish I will use! 

Overall, I LOVE this box! It was worth about $37.00 and I only payed ten! How awesome is that!! So excited for future bags!
