Workout Clothes Unboxing

I recently discovered Ellie, an activewear subscription service.  

Every month you’ll receive 5 amazing items for your active lifestyle. Your usual box can include a sports bra, a top, leggings or capris, a jacket, accessories (a tote maybe), and a piece of equipment.

I thought it was a really interesting idea.  They were sweet enough to send me a box to check out.  

My May box included a really cute strappy sports bra (so cute I'm totally fine if it shows), bright mesh leggings, and mesh detail tank.  They also throw in a few workout tools, this month I got an arm band phone holder and grip strengtheners.  

The cost is $49.95 a month.  This seems a little steep at first but when you are getting an entire workout outfit the price makes sense.   

I'm pretty obsessed with the leggings and sports bra.  Mesh leggings are so on trend at the moment and I am excited to have this cute pair in capri form.  The bra is so fun!  I might even wear it when I am not working out.  Go out Ellie and let me know if you get anything different in your box! 

Walmart beauty box unboxing fall 2015

I got my Wal-Mart Beauty Box in the mail and thought I would share the inside with y'all:

Aussie Mega hairspray (1.5 oz)

Aveeno Positively Radiant daily mouisturizer (.3 fl oz)

Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in 875 Gladiolus (full size)

ACT Advanced Care Plaque Guard mouthwash (1 fl oz)

Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Lotion (2 fl oz)

Nivea Extended Moisture Body Lotion (foil packet .14 fl oz)

3D Crest White Brilliance Toothpaste and Finisher (foil packets)

Jennifer Aniston fragrance (foil packet)

L'oreal Paris Revitalift Miricale Blur finishing cream (foil packet)

L'oreal Paris Age Perfect facial oil (foil packet)

As you can see they gave a pretty good amount of products.  Now most of them were foil packets or really small samples but I like the variety.  

These boxes are seasonal and run $5 a box.  So for the products I feel like its a good deal.  I'm not crazy about the lipstick, the color is too dark for me but everything else is good to go!  

A new perfume every month? Yes please!

I love perfume.  I love the magic of a scent and how it can transport you back to a memory.  I have so many perfumes but I still look for more.  I used to want to have a signature scent (and really tried) but I am too finicky and couldn't limit myself to just one.  

One thing I am not a fan of is how expensive good quality perfumes are.  I mean seriously $50-$100+ for perfume???  No way no how.

Well I recently discovered a fix for saving money yet still getting a new perfume to try out...and designer none the less.  Scentbird is a monthly subscription service that provides you with a designer perfume every month for $14.95.  

Here's How it Works:

1. Sign Up: Take the quiz and get personal scent recommendations based on your personality and lifestyle.

2. Choose the Perfume: Pick from 350+ designer fragrances 100% authentic.  Brands include Dior, Victor & Rolf, Tom Ford, Gucci, Chloe, trust me if you have heard of it they have it.  

3. Get Your Monthly Supply: You receive a 0.27 oz/8 ml spray.  The first month comes with a velvet pouch and atomizer.  When you get next months perfume you pull the glass vial up, drop in your new scent and twits back down

To actually use the fragrance you twist the atomizer and the spritzer floats upward, which I think is pretty cool.  You don't have to worry about caps and its safe to throw in your purse.  These are also great for travel since they are so small.

This is such a great subscription that would work for a variety of people; the perfume addicts, the new scent lookers, and the people who need help figuring out what scent they want, this is a great option.

For mine I picked Dior Poison.  I'm loving it.  Such a warm unique scent that lasts and I get a lot of compliments.  It really is unique, I've never smelled anything like it.  

After you get the perfume and test it our, you log into your account and rate it.  Scentbird will then recommend fragrances to you based on your rating.  My favorite thing is that you can create a fragrance queue so you know which ones you want to try next.
