I didn't take photos of anything individually on this one. What's included is Govino flutes, ModelCo Fibre Lashxtend mascara, two bags of Ghirardelli chocolates, a bag of caramel popcorn with pistachios, NCLA nail wraps, a Lulu Frost bracelet and wrapping paper. It said the flutes look like crystal but are made from a shatterproof material... a fancy way to say they are plastic. I'll never use these. I haven't heard good reviews on the nail wraps, but I'll try them. The mascara is just ok. I couldn't eat any of the food because of allergies (which isn't their fault, I just wish they'd only send one bag so those with allergies have more to enjoy)... those ended up being gifted. The bracelet is not my style at all. (and certainly not worth the over $100 they priced it at) And wrapping paper?! I used some, but it's not like I was excited about getting it in a box that is supposed to be must have splurge products. Total dud. And I canceled.
I also received my winter FabFitFun box and I really enjoyed it! I'm not sure how long I'll keep it going.... we'll see. But I think it was a good box this season.
I actually love this bracelet and can't wait to wear it when I'm back in shorter sleeves. It's a silicone rubbery material and from Lorna Jane. I hadn't heard of them before, but it's apparently an Australian fitness company. They also have stores here I think? Anyway, this is 'a symbol of sisterhood and a daily reminder to Move, Nourish, and Believe everyday.' They also sent a 20% off code for the site (that expires at the end of the month! Can't believe it was that short of time to spend it!) I did already use it though on a nice 1 liter water bottle and a 2014 health journal. I think they'll really help in my challenge and beyond in the coming year.
This is Beauty For Real gloss... and I love how it has a mirror on one side and also can light up in the lid! I'm not sure how often I'd really apply gloss in the dark, but who knows. It may be handy someday! I wasn't super crazy about the formula of the gloss... it wasn't really that smooth. It did have a nice cooling sensation though. Mine came in Sunlight which is a really nice neutral.
This is a necklace from The Giving Keys... mine obviously came in silver with the word courage. They sent different keys/shades/words to everyone. I would've liked a more antique fun looking key, but oh well. The point is apparently to wear it until you meet someone who needs the message more than you.
NYX Love in Florence shadow palette. Mine came in Prima Donna. I wore this today and really loved it! I love the purple shades and the glittery black.
TruEnergy headphones. I wasn't too sure about these as I just purchased some Cord Cruncher headphones, but I tried these out the other night and really loved them! They sound so great! I'm keeping my crunchers in my purse and will use these for serious listening. lol Anyway, they come with a splitter so someone else can plug in to listen. They also have enhanced bass and noise reduction. (I noticed the bass and really thought it all sounded great!) I wish I had gotten the pink ones, but oh well.
I didn't photograph the rest.... but also included in the box were Bioxidea Miracle 24 which is a face mask that looks like it might look creepy! I haven't used it yet.... A card to receive five Physique 57 online classes. I'll use this when I start my challenge! Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Eye Cream.... haven't tried this yet either. Also, MeUndies $20 gift card. Looks like they have some cute undies... so I'll try it sometime. They also included Simple Foaming Facial Cleanser. I really didn't need more facial cleanser.

Finally, I had ordered the PopSugar Limited Edition Holiday box.... but when I saw spoilers I wasn't too excited. The box was $100... it was what I decided to splurge on. I considered splurging on the Nina Garcia Quarterly box, but since it was her first I didn't want to take the risk. Then I saw spoilers when the box was shipped. And I immediately regretted not getting it. Luckily a kind person in the MUT forum offered her unopened Nina box for my unopened PS box. Done deal! So I received the Nina box and ended up signing up for the next one. It's pricey each time, but it's quarterly and seems to be higher quality items.
LOVE!
It doesn't look like much, I know. But I really love it.
I love how this was sent like a letter. Front and back on all sheets. So nice. Her theme for this box was 'Glam Grunge'.
Not the best pic... but this is the Leather Dual Cone Cuff by Baublebar that was created exclusively for Nina's box. So you can't purchase it! It isn't my typical style, but I think it'll actually be really cute.
This is the Jack Vartanian Ear Cuff... I love it and can't wait to wear it! I had never heard of him before, but his jewelry is expensive!!! I checked the website and it is available in three different metals... this looks like what would be the 18K white gold with black rhodium and it goes for $500!!!! I doubt this is gold.... but who knows? Either way, his jewelry is expensive and I love this piece!
The Faux Fur Stole by Adrienne Landau is also an exclusive piece for Nina's box. This can be worn as a scarf or a headpiece! I wore it today as a headpiece. I felt kind of silly wearing it honestly... but my ears were all nice and warm!!
VBeaute It Kit Anti Age Skin Care System... I haven't used this yet. But it seems like it'll be a great product! It came in a really nice gunmetal mirrored container.
Pearl+ Luxury Soap... I'm not much into bar soap, but I've hung this in my shower and have been using it. It has crushed pearl and charcoal in it. Not a bad little soap!
Too Faced La Creme Color Drenched Lip Cream... mine came in Bumbleberry which was surprisingly flattering on me! And I actually liked how this lipstick felt! I'm not a lipstick person (I love gloss!) but this really is a good one!
Essie polish in Shearling Darling... this shade is so nice! I can't wait to use it. So perfect for fall and winter. But let's be honest, I'll wear it anytime.
And finally, because she is the creative director at Marie Claire, the December copy! I haven't read this mag before, so I'm excited to check it out.
Everything in this box was full size. SO worth $100! I can't wait to see her next box in two months. I highly recommend this one if you can splurge every quarter.
