The "Holiday Pamper-Me Box" by CraveBox

Well I have some exciting news. SheSpeaks has launched a new program, called Cravebox. It just launched this December and I was one of the lucky people who were able to sign up for the program. Who knew there was a limited amount of spaces. CraveBox is a monthly program for 10 dollars a month, you receive a box of samples in the mail to try out and if you want you can share your opinion about the products online at SheSpeaks.com. This is similar to the BirchBox and Testube program where you too, pay a monthly fee and each month you receive hand picked products to sample each month but unlike the BirchBox and TestTube this program is not just beauty products but a array of practical everyday products. I Love it.

So the December Cravebox arrived in a tight little box. The interior of the package was decked out with pink tissue paper and some items were individually wrapped. I love the presentation.

So what was in the December CraveBox? My first Cravebox had a Perugina Dark Chocolate with Almonds candy bar. What girl doesn't like Chocolate? This was a big 3.5 oz bar. Which I of course opened immediately.  The bar I received was dark chocolate  and I am milk chocolate girl but if the chocolate is made well then I will eat dark chocolate from time to time. So I am so glad I was able to try this bar particularly because I would have never tested this product without this opportunity, and I will buy the product again.


As you can see I didn't just receive one chocolate bar but I also received a 2 pack of Perugira Baci Chocolate Truffles.  The Perugira line is an Italian treat, I didn't mention that above, The Baci was also made from dark chocolate but with chopped hazelnuts. Each chocolate was individually wrapped with sliver foil and each chocolate had a quote inside, once again nice presentation. All and all the Perugira line was very good.

Now the largest sample was a body balm called, "Mereadesso woman" and it was 6.8 oz. The balm which I've never heard of before is suppose to, "moisturize and tone the skin". It is made in Canada.  Now,  I tested the balm and noticed even after a hour my skin still has a shine to it. Which is nice, and healthy looking, the balm has a nice citric smell to as well.   The only downside was I find the balm a bit tacky but only a little bit. All and all it was a big treat.

The fourth product was Bic's "For Her" pens. Which I love. I received not one but two packages of pens with two pens in each pack.  I received two black ink, one pink and one purple. I love colored pens. I did share my pens with my co-work and if I read the package first and noticed the pens wrote pink and purple I probably would have kept both pens. Yes they are just pens, but they have jeweled tops and a floral design throughout. I am such a girl in the fact that anything cute and shiny I will buy and I will buy these pens again and again.

Now the last product  I received was OPI Nic's stick, a tube of nail polish that is quick and easy to use and can go anywhere with you. Awesome idea. I received this product in "Stick with Me"  a neutral beige which I like.  The applicator was shaped like a pen and when you remove the cap it has a brush on the end. The other end has a button that you push to release the nail polish. The end is also translucent so you can see the polish color inside. Now like I said above this is a awesome idea, it was easy to apply and I just tried it again after waiting two days and I thought the brush would be hard as a rock but it was still pliable, which is awesome, good design. My only problem with this product is this is not a quick drying nail polish, I applied this product, waited for it to dry, applied my second coat, let the polish dry and went to bed about a hour later, and when I woke up I had fabric marks on my nails, so disappointing.

All in all this program is well worth it and a good value, I enjoyed all my products and am so glad I am apart of this program. I hope the Beta test continues and I look forward to many more Craveboxs in the future.

Thank you again SheSpeaks for the opportunity.

Once again, you have to check out Cravebox and try to get into this program, it is so worth 10 bucks a month. Once in the program you will be charged each month and the box sent out, the shipping is included so you can't beat this deal. It is a monthly treat and a surprise all in one.

Hey my blogger buddies. I like addressing my new blog as if I have so many followers but in reality I am sure I just have one loyal friend reading this; but what the hey. 

So today, is December 19th, 2011 and I have been so overwhelmed with the holidays and work that I can't wait for a week off. I just arrived home from a busy day at work to find a package from Amazon. Now I've done all my Christmas shopping this year online, which I never do, but I've been working crazy hours at work and haven't had time to hit the stores. So I love technology, and shopping online because without the Internet I would be lost this holiday. 

Now this package was among a number of packages that I ordered in the past few weeks, I received four packages today. I found it odd because I don't remember ordering anything from Amazon but I could have forgotten. So I opened the box to find a DVD, a blu ray at that of the Nightmare Before Christmas. Now upon opening this package, I realized I didn't order this DVD. Weird. Did Amazon make a mistaken? I noticed the DVD packing slip was signed but I didn't recognize the sender. Well after quizzing my brother who was at a loss, I decided to open the plastic wrap around the DVD, and good news there was a gift note. The note Congratulated me on being a winner of the Holiday Traditions newsletter giveaway on SheSpeaks. How Awesome. That was a very nice surprise. I had no idea I won till I received the DVD in the mail. What a treat.

Now if you don't know what She Speaks is, it is a website, where you can learn about new products by reading and writing reviews about consumer products. This is a awesome website which has had alot of changes in the past few months with a new program called Cravebox which just launched, (more about that in another blog) and after a few years using the website, I've received more and more products to review and giveaway opportunities to be involved with like the Holiday Traditions one referenced above . Now there is a new giveaway going on, called, "Share your Holiday Beauty Sparkle Tips", check it out @ http://www.shespeaks.com/Share-Your-Holiday-Party-Style-Tips-to-Win.  

As you can tell I am so happy with the Shespeaks website, and how it really rewards the average person for her thoughts. So thank you Shespeaks and everybody check out Shespeaks for yourself,  you can learn about new products through testing real samples and reading the opinions of your peers. Good luck and enjoy.
