This was what I received:

GLAM BAG.. I received a  cute blue, white & orange bag. Perfect size and shape for some of the flat packets of cream I have received.

J. CAT BEAUTY ...(Fantabulous Gel Eye Liner/Blue black)...I've never heard of this brand before but always excited to try new eyeliners.

REAL TECHNIQUES by Samantha Chapman..(Fine Liner Brush) ..Perfect to go with my gel eye liner.

PACIFICA..(Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow/Ethereal)...I'm already a fan of the Pacifica eye liners so I am sure I will love this too. Great natural color.

PROBELLE (Nail polish/ Into the Blue) ...Perfect color for me as I always keep my toenails painted blue.  This is also a new brand for me to try. .

LA FRESH (Eco-Beauty/ Good Day- Day Moisturizer) ...I already have a brand of moisturizers that I use. So will probably end up passing this on to someone else.

Overall review of the box: I always enjoy getting my Ipsy bag. This was a great month with only one item from the bag that I will pass on.

Naturebox January 2015 Subscription Box

Naturebox  is monthly subscription box that delivers "nutritious and delicious snacks for under $20/month. For every box we deliver, we donate one meal to provide food to the hungry".   In their monthly Deluxe NatureBox you will receive  5 full-sized bags for only $19.95 per month + FREE SHIPPING. 

This is what I received in this box:

4.5oz package
 CRANBERRY PEPITA CRISPS (4.5 servings per bag ..9 pieces per serving .. 140 calories, 5g sugar).... They have a great flavor and crunch with just a slight sweetness to them from the cranberry flavor. They made a great midday snack with a little cream cheese as a dip.

 5oz package:
CHEDDAR AND ONION SUNFLOWER KERNALS (4.5 servings per bag..1/4 cup per serving 180 calories,  1g sugar).. I love these on salads. I only need about 1 Tbsp just to get a nice crunch.

5oz package
MASA CRISPS (corn chips with flax seeds):  (4.5 servings per bag.. 1/3 cup per serving.. 150 calories, 0g sugar)... Great crunch and corn flavor. My favorite from the box.

5.5oz package
EVERYTHING BAGEL STIX (sesame sticks with poppy seeds, garlic & onion):  (5 servings per bag.. 1/3 cup per serving..170 calories, less than 1g sugar) ...These have a great crunch and flavor to them. Love them mixed into a salad in place of croutons...

5oz bag:
MINI MEDJOOLS (medjool dates) : (3.5 servings per bag.. 3 pieces per serving.. 120 calories, 25g sugar) .... This was a repeat choice from last month because I sometimes have a hard time finding them in the stores. Perfect way to add sweetness to vegan & raw recipes.

Overall review of the sampler box: This was a great box. I always prefer a more savory, crunchy box and this was perfect.   If you would like to try NatureBox be sure to check their Facebook page for specials and deals on your first box.
