TOM BOX July Review

Hey beauties, and happy Friday!!

Today I have a ANOTHER Tom Box to review for you ladies!

TOM BOX
                

WHAT IS TOM BOX
TOM Box (Swaag Box) is a monthly subscription period box for women meant to ease the strain of the unwanted, monthly visitor that we women have to put up with. I like the concept—A LOT! Each cycle they include makeup and jewelry as well as your choice of feminine hygiene products. They also have an option to add razors or double makeup or jewelry for a small cost increase.

HOW MUCH IS IT
This box is $16 a month, but just in case you’re not too sure about it, they offer your first box for just $8! You can go get your first $8 box HERE.

WHATS INSIDE

I honestly wasn’t expecting this box, so I was happy to get it the other day and anxious to get into it.

The first thing I pulled out was this Escada Marine Groove perfume sample  and it smells so wonderful! I’m not a huge perfume girl, but I do like this. I couldn’t find how much this size cost, but I did read somewhere that it retails for $4.97 -but don’t hold me to that. (:

The next thing I pulled out was a small pack (8 count) of La Fresh Travel Lite makeup remover wipes. It retails for $2.49 and they included a 30% coupon! I haven’t opened these yet. I’m kind of a makeup wipe hoarder, so I would be happy if these came in every box. I hope these work!

I also got another brush! I got a brush in my last box too, but I was very excited about this one. It is really soft and made very well. There wasn’t a brand name on it at all, so I have no way of buying more or even giving credit to whoever made the brush. I also don’t know how much it is.

Since I wasn’t expecting this box EVERYTHING I got was going to be exciting to me BUT I swear, just earlier in the day that I got this I had been texting my friend telling her I was looking for a good blush and then I came home to this girl! I have never heard of Hikari Cosmetics, but this blush is awesome. It retails for $15.00 and I believe the color I got was Bikini and it’s a coral color. It goes on real nice and it last my entire work day. I’ve worn it every day since I got the box.

My favorite thing that came in this month’s box was definitely this CULT Nail Polish in Catalina. CULT makeup and nail polish are 5 Free, and vegan friendly & if you keep up with my blog, you know that’s always a bonus for me. Me and my daughter are both wearing this color right now. My biggest complaint about this is that it chips kind of easily, but I just threw it in my purse to keep on me for touch ups. It dries insanely fast and I loved that.

I also got this little cutie of Joanna Vargas Daily Serum, I wasn’t able to find a price for this and I haven’t tried it yet but I did find a listing of it on Amazon.
I have been looking to change up my skin care routine, so maybe this will be something to add!

Another makeup item I got was this Be A Bombshell lip gloss in Diamond. I really like the fact that it’s clear and I wore it today and it’s not too sticky. I am not a fan of sticky glosses. This retails for $14.00

The last two things to cover are the accessories. Now if you read what I got in my last box, you know I didn’t think the jewelry and makeup complimented each other. The makeup was such great quality and the jewelry seemed cheap or for a younger audience. Well this month not much changed.

These are the ear rings, I’m not sure who they are made by or how much they are but they are cute- just a little too young for me. But just like last time, I can pass these along to my niece.

However, this time the other accessory they included was really cute!

I liked this headband and I can see myself wearing it. If it doesn’t fit well on me, I can always putting it in my daughter’s hair.

Also, not pictured is a box of Playtex Tampons and who doesn’t love having them delivered to you? (;

Overall, I thought this was an awesome box. It stomped my last box.
The value of this box was around $50 just off what I could find a price on and your first box is only $8 and only $16 after that. Totally worth it.

I do wish there was a product card so I could credit all the companies. And as always, my biggest complaint is chocolate… Where are the yummies? (;

Great job TOM Box, I really enjoyed this one!

This box was provided to me for review purposes but all opinions are my own.

TOM Box (Period Box) Review

Hey beauties, and happy Friday!!

Today I have a box exclusively for the ladies! A period box! That’s right- a period box, and let me just say, if you’re not already getting one you should be.  Whoever came up with the idea of sending out a monthly box of goodies to make Aunt Flow’s visit a little more bearable is a genius.

So today I am going to review TOM Box (Time Of The Month) a monthly subscription box that caters to your period.

THE STAFF
I emailed back and forth with a sweet lady, Danielle and she was kind enough to send me this awesome box for this review. We didn’t talk too much because she made everything really simple! So another wonder staff review with another company!

WHATS INSIDE

 It comes in a small cardboard box that is small enough to fit into your mailbox.

When I opened it, it was really packed in there nicely.

The first thing I pulled out was this pink box that said “Beautiful” and I thought that was an awesome touch. I kept the boxes for gifts! I loved them. Everyone needs a little encouraging and especially during the TOM and I thought it was a really sweet gesture.

Inside the first box were three beauty products.

First was this Cailyn Gel Eyeliner– It retails at $21 and it is FABULOUS. It goes on so smooth, and steady. That product alone is worth more than the entire box and it’s the VERY FIRST ITEM!

The second item was a travel size CoolWay hair glow oil treatment. I couldn’t find the travel size listed on their website, but I did find a listing on ebay for $8. I was excited this product was included because with Summer being in full swing I am living in the sun and the pool so my hair is super neglected and it was nice being introduced to product that I really needed, but didn’t know about.

The third item was a Ciga Los Angeles Shimmer Shadow that I couldn’t seem to find a listing of but it’s a nice quality shadow!

I honestly was pretty excited to that I got TWO beautiful boxes because I thought they were so sweet!! But again, this box had THREE beauty products.

The first thing I pulled out was the SAMPAR So Much To Dew Midnight Mask and it’s a hydrating mask that I am looking forward to using, but I haven’t yet. They sent a sample size, so I’m not sure there is a price on it, but I did find the actual listing of the product and it’s pretty pricey!

The next item I pulled out was the BellaPierre Cosmetics Lip and Cheek stain. It is listed for $19 and I was happy to get it but I’m not sure if it’s something I will keep using. I don’t typically use that sort of lip/cheek mix but I’m still trying it.

And the last item I pulled out was this wonderful Cargo Cosmetics Jet Lag Concealer and I love it!! It retails for $30 and it comes in this sleek, twist bottom dispenser and it just goes on and blends so nicely. I’m wearing it right now. (:

That’s all for the beauty products and I am seriously blown away—I definitely wasn’t expecting such expensive products, and four full size and two samples… awesome!

The next thing I pulled out was this little gray bag and inside was this sweet and simple necklace. I thought it was cute and I can see myself wearing it. The chain was pretty knotted up so I’m going to have to replace it- but I replace a lot of my cheaper chains anyway. I will say that I was more impressed by the beauty products than the jewelry, but I’m not much of a jewelry person anyway.

Then I pulled out the black bag and it had this little bracelet in it and I honestly wasn’t a fan at all, it seemed more like a younger girl to me, but that’s okay because I can definitely pass this on to my niece but I like the idea that they include something other than makeup.

The last thing I pulled out was an eyebrow brush (I guess just a little bonus?) and then my 18 pack of tampons—REMEMBER, your first box only cost $8 and that’s just the price of a box a tampons that you were going to buy ANYWAY, so why not get all of this awesome stuff with it!? You can choose between pads, or tampons and you can also choose your brand.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF TOM BOX

I think it’s a wonderful value. With the makeup alone you have around $80 in product. Although I did receive the double makeup and double jewelry box even if I only got one set of each I would still come out better than the price of the box. I think the quality of the beauty products was good too. I was a little confused at the jewelry though- I felt like the makeup was geared towards women and the jewelry towards like a preteen age, so it might be cool if they ever tweak the box to do an age range for the boxes to maybe cater to different age groups. Another thing I think would be nice is to include maybe some sort of pain reliever, and SNACKS! I think that was the biggest disappointment is there weren’t any snacks. Not even chocolate and I feel like chocolate should come standard in any period box. However, it is a great price and I like the idea. I like the fact that you can choose the product you want to use- but I do wish they had a menstrual cup option, and then I like that you can choose the brand.

Overall, I was pleased with the box and its price. I think it’s worth everyone trying at least once. It really does make you feel good to get a box of goodies in the mail!! I think my favorite item was the eyeliner or the concealer, and the beautiful boxes were a great touch!!
