I feel like it's been a while since Birchbox announced a Limited Edition box and here it is!

The newest box is the 'Gym Bag Heroes Box'.

This box comes with products perfect for an active lifestyle.  From lifestyle goodies to beauty products.  I like what I see!

The 'Gym Bag Heroes Box' will include:

I really like this box!  I'm a bit overloaded on beauty products so it's nice to see a lot more of the Lifestyle products in this one.  I had 300 points saved up, plus a coupon code so I purchased this box for only $4 !  Should arrive next week.

Pop Fizz Paper Subscription for September 2015♥

Pop Fizz Paper is an etsy store that sells stickers, specifically, planner stickers.

She also sells subscriptions each month and I snagged a September Planner Subscription.

(She also has a stickers only subscription)

They sell out really fast so I'm glad I got one and I hope I don't miss out on next month.

Info card.

I love this!

And the theme this month is 'I ♥ Paris'.

The pink envelope includes all of the stickers, plus 2 bonus sheets! (gold hearts and pink letters)

How pretty is this?! I absolutely love the theme and I can't wait to use them!

The white bag included non-sticker items.

omg so well put together!

A notebook, gold washi tape, journal cards, etc. just to name a few!

These hanger paper clips are so cute!!

So here's a look at the whole kit.

I really enjoy this subscription and I hope to continue getting them.

I'll just have to remember every month and be sure I don't miss out!

BIG ::Etsy Sticker Haul:: #2 ♥

Yep, I'm at it again!

These are stickers I've accumulated over time.

Miscellany Boulevard

I love the vibrant colors she uses for the weekly kits and the little girl character is so adorable!

I got the Sleeping girl and popcorn movie girl.

Sweet Ava's Paper

Repeat customer here!  Sweet Ava's offers FULL SHEET 8x10 sticker sheets.

Super great deal.  I know these will last me a long time.

I even bought a baby bottle sticker for baby #3.  Comes with over 100 stickers so it'll last.

Hello Ashleyann

OMG Super cute!  These stickers are really small but so detailed!

The baby icon is ♥♥  I'm using it to jot down days when my sister will be babysitting, or when baby L has a doctor appointment.

The yarn I had to get.  Even though it's still summer, I usually like to start crocheting something around fall.  This will be perfect!

Paws Paper

Repeat customer!

This was actually an 'Oops Grab Bag', meaning the stickers were either slightly cut wrong, or the color isn't right, or sometimes the stickers are missing.  But honestly, I didn't find any flaws!

These were perfect and I got them at a discounted price.

Plan It Pretty

I actually had a 3rd set but I used it for my layout this week.

These are chic and cute and simple.  Love the color schemes.

I did have a hard time peeling off some of the stickers though.

I don't think they were cutting deep enough.

That Moxie Chick Studio

This is a fairly new shop.  But omg look!

These are way too cute!  I got the parisienne girl set, squeee♥

She also offers a $2 Tuesdays deal, so I snagged the autumn/fall girl set for only $2.

I also snagged a 'grab bag' she was offering and that should be delivered any day now.

Pop Fizz Paper

This is another 'oops grab bag'.  Again, I didn't find any flaws!

Just a few missing stickers but that's ok with me because you get these bags at a discounted price.

Speaking of Pop Fizz Paper, she also offers a monthly subscription and I got the September Planner subscription.  I will be doing an individual post on that but it's amazing♥

That's it for this haul.  What do you think? 

Aren't these super cute??

beauty box 5 unboxing for August 2015 ♥

beauty box 5 for August.

The theme this month is 'primped'.

Info card.

Not terribly exciting but not bad either.

Hask Beauty deep conditioning hair treatment

This is great for me because I always use up my conditioners way before my shampoos run out.

My Sample Value $2.39 (Full size!)

pur~lisse moisturizer

I've seen so much of this moisturizer all across subscription boxes this year.

I even received one in my Citrus Lane box.

Will add it to my pile.

My Sample Value $16.17

DonnaMax printed nail file with case

I actually don't own one so this is my first nail file.

I don't really use nail files but this one is cute and comes with a case.

My Sample Value $4.99 (Full size!)

Starlooks Luxe longwear Eyeliner pen - plum

This is a very pretty color and I don't own anything in a plum shade.

Will totally use!

My Sample Value $19.99 (Full size!)

Jerome Alexander Hot Stuff Go Pop Compact

This was a weird one...it came just like this but I feel like it should have been packaged better.

It seemed kind of unsanitary...I'm very iffy about using this. 

Also, never heard of this brand and it feels very 'young' to me...like something a teenager would use.

There's not ingredient list nor information on where this was made. 

I'm very iffy....

My Sample Value $10.99

The total value of this months BB5 comes to (roughly) $54.53.

The box was alright this month. Nothing blew me away but I'm really digging the Starlooks eyeliner.

ipsy glam bag contents for August 2015 ♥

ipsy for August♥

The theme this month is 'prep school'.

Like I mentioned in my previous post...this bag totally reminds me of Clueless.

This bag is so much better than last month.

Last month was probably my least favorite.

Briogeo blossom & blossom volumizer

This is the only product I won't be using.

Volumizing my already big hair is the last thing I want to do.

Briogeo is a great hair care brand though so I'm sure this works great!

My Sample Value $3.53

JUARA facial mask

I just finished using my JUARA face exfoliating scrub and I loved it!

I'm sure I'll love this one too.  A new favorite brand of mine.

My Sample Value $4.00

TRUST FUND nail polish - *elegantly wasted*

If only I could ever be 'elegantly wasted'.

Anyway, this is a big bottle and I like the color.

I don't own anything like this.  A light, almost pastel lavender kind of shade.

My Sample Value $13.24

Skone Cosmetics luxe doubler eye/lip pencil - *wine*

I've never heard of this brand.  The color is nice though. A sexy dark red with purple.

My Sample Value $12.00 (Full size!)

Noyah natural lipstick - *desert rose*

This lipstick sample is super tiny! About the size of a perfume sampler.

It'll still last me a while though.

It was hard to get an estimate on the value.

My Sample Value ~$4.00

Swatches for the lipstick and eye/lip liner.

I love that 'wine' color!

So overall I'm happy because this month was super awesome compared to my horrible July bag.

The total value of this month's bag (roughly) comes to $36.77

Stationery Haul ♥

Several of these items were on clearance at Office Depot.

I haven't visited an Office Depot in...years probably! 

So I was surprised to find some really cute binders, scissors, washi tape, etc.

Baby L testing out some of my things.

Here's a peek into my IKEA drawers I got last weekend for stashing my stationery goodies.

It's filling up pretty fast!

And omg..I got this tumbler today.

Isn't it super cute??!

It says "But First, Coffee".

Yep...isn't that right? Although I'll probably be using this more often for tea.
