Love with Food October Box



I've tried quite a few of the Happy Squeeze products and while the taste is good, I'm still getting used to the texture. 
Kind bars are amazing, need I say more?  
I've seen Glee gum around before and never tried it. It's pretty good, but like many others, the flavor doesn't last as long as I'd hope.
Dang could not have a better name... dang these are good. I don't love coconut, I have to be in the mood for it, but these are delicious little coconut chips that would probably make a great dessert topping.
The Pizzelle crisps are really great, more of a cocoa flavor than a sweet chocolate and I like that.
The candies are good, I got blood orange and cinnamon anjou pear which unexpected and great flavors.
I haven't tried the Caveman Cookies yet and I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the Pixo pearls.
 

October NatureBox

I'm excited to try the Banana Bread Granola and want to try to come up with a good recipe for it. The Southern BBQ Sunflower Kernels are okay. The flavor is good, but I hate shelled kernels, personal preference, but I really don't like sunflower seeds without the shell. I'm a HUGE fan of the Lemon Pucker Pistachios and I'm happy to see them back! I expected to love the Granny Smith Apple slices, but I didn't. They were tough and sour and I just wasn't a huge fan, maybe they'll be good for martinis.The Blueberry Almond Bites are a nice slightly sweet snack. 

I like NatureBox, but I haven't been loving it as much lately. Let me know what you think of yours if you've tried it. I may start doing the custom boxes to get more of what I think I'll like,.

Le Métier de Beauté October: Peau Vierge

I'm so sorry that this post is late! UPS apparently delivered my package to my management office at my apartment instead of my apartment, so I only just got it.

This month's product is the lightening and brightening Peau Vierge Complexion Serum and Dark Spot Corrector. Usually I use medical grade products, but I'll be taking a break from it to try this out and see how it works.

This product is another amazing value in this subscription, it retails for $125 which means that in 3 months this box has paid for itself.

October Julep Maven Box

Hey guys and happy October! To me this is officially the start of fall. September here was still fairly hot so it still felt like summer. October arrived with chilly weather and turning leaves. What else arrived? My Julep Maven Box. I've had kind of a craving for candy corn, but I only ever like a little bit and can never finish a whole bag. Oh Julep, you know me too well. I was done with their mini bag of candy corn before I even swatched the polishes, but it was perfect.

This month's beauty product was a Kajal Eye Glider in Carbon Black/Brown Shimmer with a sharpener. To be honest I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I've been really sick and my eyes have been very puffy so I haven't used any eye makeup for about a week.

When I opened the nail colors I was in love with Valerie at first sight. It's a gorgeous teal/blue/green color with a slight gold glitter it's a very duochrome shade. You can see in the pictures that it's not sure what color it wants to be and that's what makes it gorgeous. It's different depending on the light. 

At first I was disappointed in Cleopatra. My first thought was: "Really Julep? You sent me a plain black polish?" But it's not. It's a black latex polish. The finish is like leather. I'm going to be comparing it to the Nails Inc leather polish later this month.

This month's box value was $50 and it only costs $19.99/month so that's a great deal!
