I love my k-cups and use it daily. We usually buy a large variety of boxes and stock up for the month. Nescafe is the only k-cup that my hubby doesn't use, he knows these are my favorite and leaves them all for me. One big thing with this brand is consistency, every single box and every single cup of coffee I have had is always fresh and has the same 'classic' rich and creamy flavor, for some reason we find that a lot of brands differ, it's like different batches of the same flavor end up tasting different then the last box.
Nescafe is my go to because of the rich flavor and the aroma is decadent. I love to sit in silence with my first cup, waft in the aroma and wake my brain and senses up. I also find that this is the only brand of coffee that I can drink black, I don't drink it black often, but I am able to - which is out of the norm for me, normally I need milk or light cream. You're missing out if you've never brewed a cup of nescafe.

I think I got this trio in a BoxyCharm subscription box a few months ago. It's only been this past month that I've really used it constantly, either as a blush or bronzer usually. The powders are not overly pigmented, which is a good thing in my opinion, I hate it when I have to re-do my face because I've applied too much, but barely gotten much powder on my brush to begin with. This stuff is effective at building up if I want to add more color, and because it's light, one of the shades is perfect as a light bronzer which makes my look sun kissed. This past week I have been experimenting with it as an eye-shadow, either on it's own, and also blending it with regular eye shadow for some great eye looks. I am happy I got this in my box, otherwise I don't think I would have purchased it. I tend to stick to the same few shades of blush and never try out other colors. -

After hearing dozens of ad's on a podcast I listen to and hearing the hosts rave about this stuff, I had to place an order.
FOB "Function of Beauty" is a fantastic company that makes top of the line hair products that are customized to your hair needs. I customized my order for moisture on color treated hair. I also picked the scent peach, which smells amazing and it lingers in my hair for a couple hours after I've used it. I love that the bottles have a pump, it makes it easy for me to control how much I use - I don't need much either, both the shampoo and conditioner are rich and semi-thick. My hair had a noticeable shine after a few uses and after about a week and a half my hair no longer felt brittle, it was stronger and looked healthier.
I love the fact that the bottle has my name on it "Function of Amanda", you can name it anything you want. Makes for a great gift for any female friends in your life. Plus it comes with cute stickers to jazz up the bottles, how cute is that?? Seriousness though, FOB is an innovative and creative company that lives up to it's name and positive ratings, I am thankful I gave them a try.
I am going to order again soon, I most likely will stick to the same customization, but I am going to choose a different scent this time.

I received this in one of my BoxyCharm subscription boxes. The first thing I loved was the packaging, how cute and dazzling is the tube? It catches your eye right away, in fact it has caught a couple of my gal pal's eyes while they were in the bathroom, I encouraged both to try it out.
The actual cleanser is clear and milky, feels rich and moisturizing when applied to the face. It does a great job at cleansing my skin and removes all makeup including waterproof mascara. The scent is light, fresh and clean smelling. A little goes a long way with this stuff. I have been using it day and night and haven't had a break out, and noticed that my skin feels softer to the touch. One thing to note, it doesn't bubble for me, in fact there is little to no lather to it as well, but that doesn't effect it's ability to do a great job. I recommend this, will definitely purchase more when this tube runs out. I even bought a tube for my mom as it's gentle and it doesn't irate her sensitive skin.

ELF acne spot treatment

If you have sensitive skin, this spot treatment is perfect for you. When I compare this to others I've used in the past, this is more on the softer/gentler side. It does not sting and the product soaks up immediately, there is no paste/mask left on the target spot. For me, it takes a good 3-4 days until the blemish is gone and for this reason I most likely won't purchase again. My skin is not sensitive and I can use a harsher gel that zaps the problem over night, I will keep using that product because I like immediate results. -

Firstly, if you know me, you know I am scent obsessed and I love highly beautiful scented products. I steer clear away from unscented everything unless there is a big benefit from the product.
The first thing I adore about this scrub is the mouth watering aroma of fresh ground coffee, as soon as you open the top it awakens your senses. Thus making me crave coffee at 10pm if I am using the scrub before bed. The tiny grains of coffee beans gently scrub off all the impurities and dried up skin patches, I pay extra attention to my clogged pores and rub it really well around those areas. The scrub washes off with ease using warm water and the results are visibly noticeable. My skin is bright and very clear and clean, it's also soft to the touch. I can see improvement on the once dark black heads, which some are completely gone and the larger pores have the top layer of oil/gunk cleared away - making for the perfect time to add my nightly pore/acne cream on my face so it can do it's job and get down deep to finish the job!
Way to go Lush, a natural scrub that works wonders and smells amazing, without drying the heck outta my skin!

I love pretty much all of the products I've bought from L'Occitane and it's a regular brand name in my home as far as lotions and creams go. I bought this on a whim after reading some of the positive review on their website and I am so happy I did.
This luxurious body milk tops the chart as far as body lotions. The scent is divinely feminine, warm and captivates my senses, plus I get complimented on the smell especially if I've just applied it. The lotion is extremely creamy, silky and it soaks into my skin immediately, leaving it hydrated for hours. It is in no way greasy at all.
This is now one of my favorite lotions and I am going to buy the shower gel and perfume because I can't get enough of this scent.

I totally bought this product because of the name and the cute and bold packaging caught my eye. I bought the light bronze color and when applied it's super glossy and takes on more of my natural lip color than it does bronze. It doesn't last long, quick to transfer onto cups and whatnot and for me, my lips seem to soak up the moisture and I can reapply an hour later. If you have sensitive lips, I wouldn't suggest this product because it tingles - a lot. It doesn't burn, but it does have a slight annoying mildly stinging sensation. This doesn't bother me, as I know it's somewhat irritating my lips and the ingredients are working to plump them up. I don't get mega plump lips, but they are a bit more noticeably fuller. At this point I am undecided whether I would purchase another tube for $20+, but if I noticed it was on sale I would probably buy another tube in a different shade, maybe pink in color. -

I love this bubble mask for a number of reasons. First the smell is mildly pleasant, not over powering and doesn't linger. I love the push pump, it allows me to control the exact amount I want to use, without wasting any. You don't need much, this stuff expands a lot and foams quite very quickly. Also, I feel that my skin gets a deep clean and that it pulls the dirtiness from my pores and brings it to the surface.
Lastly, you know the feeling you get when you pore peroxide onto an open cut, the fizzy and slight tingle, well this is exactly how this product feels once it's applied. It doesn't hurt at all, it's more of an annoying tingle as the foam expands, bubbles and works it's magic, but because it's super annoying and makes me want to scratch my face, I can only tolerate leaving it on for 4-5 minutes. My girlfriend and I joke to see who can leave it on the longest lol.

I got this in June's Boxy Luxe, not sure if it was a regular item or only in the Luxe box. Anyway I had high hopes for this product because I really liked their "No Poreblem Primer" and had only read decent reviews on other products they make.
For me, this works more like a watery and gel type moisturizer. It does not minimize the look of my pores, nor does it even out my skin tone or give my face a fresh look. Perhaps I got a bad batch, but this just does not work for me other than hydrate my skin. Not one for tossing out products, I am passing this onto my sister and see if she has any luck with it.
