My planner accessories ::Paper clips and tassels:: ♥


Here's a few of my planner accessories I've accumulated.
These are my paper clips!
Super cute!! They're great for flagging pages in my planner.


Isn't this adorable??
I have to be careful though because they're made out of card stock paper and it's very fragile.


LOVE these!
My tassel and pom pom!  They're rather large too.


My pink tassel comes with Paris' Eiffel Tower charm ♥  Awww!!

Pop Fizz Paper ::Planner Subscription:: for October 2015♥

 

Pop Fizz Paper was my first Etsy shop planner subscription that I tried out.
I loved her September Planner subscription so much that I made sure to snag her October Planner subscription before it sold out. 
(Check out the September kit here)


From her sneak peeks on instagram I knew it was going to be Halloween themed--My favorite holiday honestly! Here's a first look at the kit unopened.


Info card.


Here is the entire kit!
I love it once again!
So well put together and I'm loving the cute stickers.


Here's a closer look at just the stickers.
7 full sheets plus a sampler.
Everything from functional to decorative to even stickers you color yourself!
How fun!


I also received an acrylic stamp with ink.
I just bought an acrylic block so I'm excited to use it!
Some cute paperclips (I've already put them in planner) and some candy!
Also not pictured is a purple felt tip pen.


10 Halloween themed 3x4 papers and 4 washi samples!
I can't wait to use these in October and yes, I'm absolutely going to order the next planner subscription!  Gotta mark my calendar ♥

Etsy Sticker Haul ♥



I'm currently on a 'no buy', but I received a couple orders I placed last week.
These are repeat shops--I love them!
The Moxie Chick Studio offers a deal on Tuesdays, $2 Tuesdays! 
So of course I had to grab one.
And those umbrellas...aren't they darling??♥
I received 3 small sampler sheets as well.
Love this shop~!



Another favorite shop of mine, Sweet Bean Plans.
She also started releasing monthly boxes (check here).
Last month's Halloween box was amazing! And it's now my favorite Etsy subscription!
I seriously can't wait for the Fall box.
This order was a Misfits Bundle...aka Blooper Bundle.
Some flaws, ink issues, missing stickers, etc.
But I didn't notice any flaws--the sunflower sheet had some stickers that cut all the way but not a problem for me. This was a great deal!

BIRCHBOX Unboxing for September 2015 ♥


Look how beautiful the box design is this month!  I love it!
The text is in gold foil.
This month's theme is 'Better Together'.


Info card.
Plus to commemorate Birchbox's birthday month, we all received a 20% off coupon.


A first look.


I love my box this month!!
It smelled so good as soon as I opened it.


Davines LOVe shampoo & conditioner
This is my 3rd Davines shampoo and this one is probably my favorite.
It smells Sooooo Gooood!
It reminds me of a certain Japanese bath salt I used when I was living in Japan...and my grandmother used a lot.  It brings me back memories.  I'm going to save this one for my hospital bag.
My Sample Value $8.77


MALIN+GOETZ face cleanser and moisturizer
I'm currently obsessing over my Avene cleanser so I haven't given this a try...but I smelled it and it's very neutral.  Not much of a scent at all...a slight grapefruit scent maybe.
I have the MALIN+GOETZ lip moisturizer from an ipsy bag that I enjoy.
My Sample Value $3.15


Juice Beauty green apple peel
Juicy Beauty products have been a hit or miss for me...
I didn't think I had sensitive skin but with some Juice Beauty moisturizers, it stings my face a bit.
I'm going to be careful with this one since it requires you to leave on your face for 10 minutes.
I'll still try it out though.
My Sample Value $5.07

English Laundry Perfume Signature for her
Perfume isn't that exciting since I'm picky..but this one smells really good!
Again, it's a nostalgic scent...reminds me of high school.
My Sample Value $0.00 (unsure)


POP Beauty portfolio Eyeshadow - sugar plum
I've heard 'meh' reviews about POP beauty, particularly about the pigmentation.
Well well, I like this trio!
It's well pigmented and that purple and brown!  I love it!
Beautiful fall colors.
My Sample Value $~7.20


Swatch.
Beautiful!

Once again, I loved my box this month!
Birchbox has been on point lately.  
The total value of this month's box (roughly) comes to $24.19

Freckled Fawn September 2015 Kit ::OXFORD:: + Blooper Bundle ♥


I ordered a $5 blooper bundle from Freckled Fawn and to my surprise it was delivered with my September Monthly Kit ♥
The left bag is the blooper bundle and the right bag is the current month's kit, OXFORD.


Here is the OXFORD kit♥
I really love the pouch this month and the contents.
This kit includes:
Chevron skinny washi tape
Doodle skinny washi tape
Wood chip pencils/crayons
Rubber shapes
Speech bubble sticky notes
Chipboard stickers
Pearl stickers
Color block vellum alpha stickers
Vellum star stickers
Acrylic words
Polka dot zipper pouch


Here's a closer look at some of the embellishments. 
Those pearl stickers are so pretty ♥
I'm really loving the 'mint' colors lately.


We got 2 washi tapes this month!  And I love both of them!
I'm hoping they'll include some kind of a Halloween themed item for next month.


This is the $5 blooper bundle.
These bundles include products that are slightly off, damaged, discolored, etc. but are still use-able.
Most of the times I don't even notice the flaws.


The cork calendar stickers are for 2014 so I can't really use it but I'll still keep them.


Some stickers, washi tapes, wooden numbers, paperclips and also a holiday set from last year but totally use-able.



A couple washi tapes--I love the mustache tape.
It's also the skinniest washi tape I've ever seen!

The blooper bundles are a great way to try out some of their products if you're new, or to just get a great deal on some past items.  I'm loving it!
