Swaag Box Review

 

Hello Everyone! Today, we are going to talk about not only a great subscription service, but a NECESSARY service. Swaag Box also known as the "Time of the Month" Box not only makes that time of the month easier but spoils you as well. . 

What Is Swaag Box? How do I sign up?

"Each period cycle we send you necessary supplies as well as jewelry and makeup. Choose from name brand tampons and pads, tell us your skin type and fashion type and we will customize your jewelry and makeup to your wants.

Each month our personal shoppers find the best jewelry pieces and name brand makeup to match your needs, those items along with your tampons or pads of choice are then expertly packaged and shipped via USPS to your front door.

We also offer options to add to your box. Choose Venus razor blade refill cartridges and/or double the jewelry and makeup each month." (for an extra $6)

The cost of each box is $16 a month for a normal subscription. If you want to double the jewelry and makeup or add on any extras keep in mind that the price will vary up from there. The double makeup and jewelry is an extra $6, and if you add razors I believe it's an extra $12 for a 4-pack.

My Box Contents/My Thoughts

First Look -  When I opened the box the first thing that really caught my eye was not only the tampons but the packaging. It's like each one was a present just waiting for me to open!

 

I choose to get my usual brand of Tampax Pearl in an 18 count.

They have many brands you can choose from which include Tampax, Always, Kotex, and Playtex. You can choose pads, tampons, or even none (if you wish to just get jewelry and makeup). I love that this is an option it would be almost like getting an Ipsy bag with added jewelry, which I think is a really great deal as well. 

Value: $4.97

 

The first jewelry item I received was a "Live In The Moment" bracelet. At first I was disappointed because 80 percent of the bracelets out there don't fit me (I have a freakishly small wrist). However, I LOVE this! It is not only a powerful statement and made in the US (major brownie points for that!), but the bracelet is adjustable. This made it fit really well, and I also like that it reminds me a lot of Alex and Ani bangle bracelets (which is basically all I wear).

Value: $9.95

 

 

The next item I received was if not my favorite item in the box. Roses have always been sort of a trademark for me (that and elephants), so I really appreciated the necklace. I think the only thing that could of made it even better is if it was gold-toned.

Value: $19.95? (my guess off of similar necklaces)

 

The next item in my box was a makeup/tool item. I've actually been meaning to get a new one of these to help get rid of any clumps when applying mascara. Even though it wasn't a "thrill" item; it was a much needed item.

Value: $2.99? 

 

The last part of my box were makeup items. I absolutely adore the boxes that they came in. It really promotes positivity. 

In the first box...

 

Cailyn - Line Fix Gel Eyeliner in Black 

I've had this eyeliner in the past, and while I am not crazy about gel liner's this is the best one on the market in my opinion. I think part of the reason it's so wonderful (aside from the formula) is the built in brush. This was the perfect makeup item for me!

Value - $21 (FULL SIZE!)

 

Coolway - Glow Oil Treatment

I've tried this in the past. I believe it was from an Ipsy bag or Birchbox. It actually works quite well, especially if you have dry hair like mine.

Value: $3? 

(I am guessing on this since it's a sample size, and I don't see it labeled how much is in it. The full size of this is $29.95).

Ciga Los Angeles Shimmer Shadow #5

I only found one person selling this shadow and it was on Amazon. I looked and looked but couldn't find out anything else about the company. This is a shame, because I'd love to buy more. This color is like a gold/green really shimmery kind of color. It's unlike any other shadows I have.

Value: $9.95? (guess from a similar shadow being sold)

In the second box...

 Bellapierre Pink Cheek/Lip Stain

I am already a huge fan of this brand, and you can't go wrong with a pink lip/cheek color. This was a win-win in my book.

Value: $19.99 (FULL SIZE!)

Cargo Cosmetics Jet Lag Concealer 

You can get a choice of light or medium in this concealer. I always choose the lightest color because of my skin-tone. I really appreciate that Swaag Box got this right, and listened to my needs. Not to mention this is my first time trying it, and so far I am really liking it.

Value: $30 (FULL SIZE!)

Sampar Paris - So Much To Dew Midnight Mask

This was a sample but what I did use made my skin super soft. I would love to try the full size product. I also really appreciate that they included an item from Paris.

Value: $3? ($27.59 for the full size on Amazon)

  I received an estimated value of around $125! That's amazing and I have to say Swaag Box is defiantly winning me over for subscribing in the future. I even got to try some new products. What do you think about Swaag Box?

Hello Flo Period Subscription Signature Kit + GIVEAWAY

Hello Everyone! I hope all of you are having a terrific day so far. Today, I want to talk with you about a subscription box for females. Yes, I know I have a lot of male readers as well, but maybe even you, will still want to check this out for your wife or daughter as well. 

I love the idea, because I don't know how many times I have had to beg a friend or my husband (who absolutely refuses!) to go out and get tampon's for me. Can you blame them though? No one wants to go shopping for those unmentionables. I have finally found an easy way, so you will NEVER have to leave the comfort of your home for tampons or pad's EVER again! :)

I'd like to Introduce you to....Hello Flo! Hello Flo, gives you everything for your monthly and includes other little fun treats to make that time of the month - well frankly - a little less like hell week and a little more enjoyable. 

The Hello Flo Period Subscription Signature Kit runs $29.95. There are two different kit's to start out. This one and another one for a few cents more for someone having their period for the first time (which just includes a little more information). You can buy this kit by going here: BUY HELLO FLO SIGNATURE KIT. 

You can also sign up for their monthly subscription service which is $20 a month where you can customize if you want pads, tampons, or both. Also, if you have a light, medium, or heavy period, it can customize your box for that as well. You can sign up for the monthly subscription by going here: Hello Flo Monthly Plan's.

First Look

Hello Flo, comes in this very cute but discreet box that says Hello on the front and then Flo on the side once you open up. Then once you open it up it has a cute little message that says, "Special delivery for your lady bits." 

The Contents

Inside are two little cards, one has info about their app to track your cycle and the other one tells you about how to write a review on Amazon if you like the kit. It doesn't have an info card which would have been nice, but it's not a make or break for me either. 

Tampax Pearl Active Tampons - I have never tried the active ones, however Tampax Pearl is my favorite brand of tampons. I am happy to see such a good brand in the box. 

Estimated Price: $5.99 (based on Walgreen's where I shop)

Always Infinity Flex Foam - This is my first time trying these as well, and I like them. They are lighter than a regular pad, but hold just as much if not more.

Estimated Price: $4.99 

FDS Personals - I did a little bit of research on these since I never heard of them, and must say I am quite impressed with the brand. They are designed to wipe away odor-causing bacteria and are pH balanced. 

Estimated Price: $1.67 

Olay Fresh Effects Deluxe Make-Up Removal Cloths in Honeysuckle & White Tea - I have loved these from day 1 since I have tried them. They do a great job at getting makeup off or if you just want to freshen up. I have never tried this scent before, but they smell heavenly.

Estimated Price: $1.25

Torie & Howard Organic Hard Candy in Blood Orange & Honey - Italian Tarocco blood orange mixed with wildflower honey. These are soooo yummy! I hope to try all of the flavors. You can check out more about them by going here: http://www.torieandhoward.com/.

Price: $4.99

Hello Flo Tampon Holder - This is such a cute holder, I love that I will always have something to put my tampons in it if I need to. It also makes a great makeup bag as well for lipstick or eyeliner, which is what I plan to use mine for....hehe. No matter what you use it for, it definitely is made of quality well-made material. 

Hello Flo Zipper Pouch - This is another great and well-made zipper pouch that you can hold tampons or whatever you see fit. 

There were also items inside mine, let's see what's inside....

S.W. Basics of Brooklyn - Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, & Olive Oil Cream - According to their site..."Our Cream starts with wild-harvested Shea butter we get from an incredible Fair Trade women's cooperative in Ghana. We add some organic extra-virgin coconut oil and organic extra-virgin olive oil. So it's extremely rich, sinking deep into the skin and staying there. But since all the ingredients are totally non-comedogenic, it won't clog your pores, meaning it's just as awesome on your face as it is on your body."

I love Shea Butter to begin with but with Coconut Oil & Olive Oil makes it the perfect combo. This goes on so creamy and really makes your skin feel hydrated.

Estimated Price: $9.00

S.W. Basics of Brooklyn - Citrus Lip Balm - According to their site..."Our Vegan Lip Balm is just as awesome as our original, minus the beeswax. Candelilla wax comes from a plant, so you can lick your chops as often as you'd like." 

This lip balm goes on so easy and soft. I really like that it's vegan too. I would love to try the peppermint and cocoa ones as well. They smell sooo yummy!

Price: $4.00

Two Non-pull Hair Scrunchies - I have quite a few of these, but it seems like I am always loosing them so I can always use more. They are also my favorite, because they don't get tangled up in your hair like some hair accessories.

I really like the Hello Flo Signature Kit, I think it is a wonderful box. I also think the subscription service every month is great for almost every woman. This box had around a value of over $32, and that wasn't including the two bags or scrunchies. Regardless, I feel you can't really put a price on the convenience of the box. 

What do you think about this box?
