Simply Stunning

Of all the subscription boxes I have received over the past year, Stunner of the Month may be my favorite.

I love ipsy, Birchbox has some good months, and my newest box - Onyx Box - is off to a great start, but if I had to name one that I consistently look forward to every month, it would be StunMo. 

April

The Nü Metals

Let your freak flag fly. Born in an

industrial club somewhere deep in heart

of Bushwick, these witch house frames

are back from 1989 with a vengeance. 

Collection: Enhancer / Level:Mezzanine

May

The Plane Jane's

Slip away without being seen. Great

For a walk of shame, or slipping out of

a terribly awkward situation. 

Collection: Diva / Level: Mezzanine

I have to say that these are my favorite frames that I've received from StunMo. I've made them my standard sunglasses, as they really go with everything. Love 'em.

June

The Sunday Driver

It's 9am on Sunday and you head down to the

garage. Your shining cruiser is staring at you

waiting for a ride. You don your ill Stunner

shades, and own the roads, cruising, chilling, 

riding, stunt'n.

Collection: Simple / Level: Mezzanine

July

The Illusions

It's a bird, it's a plane are you kidding

me...no? Put on these Stunner's and

you will never be fooled again. 

Collection: Enhancer / Level : Mezzanine

Receiving a pair of sunglasses every month seems like such a little thing, but the price is right, and it makes me happy.

Any other Stunner of the Month subscribers out there? If so, how do you like your selections? If you're not already stunt'n, would you ever subscribe to a service like this?

Ipsy - March 2014

This month's ipsy theme is Destination Beauty. 

The insert card actually welcomes subscribers to Palette Island. I like the theme, but I'm a bit underwhelmed by the bag itself and products I received. We only received four products too :(

The bag's bold print is a selection from artist, and ipsy subscriber, Klari Reis. It's based on the geography of her hometown of San Francisco. It's an interesting pattern, but the thick plastic feel is odd, and it had a ridiculously strong smell when I first took it out of the pink mailer. I had to air it out for a couple of weeks, before the silly putty-like smell went away. The bag feels like it would do well being thrown in a beach bag though; so that's probably what I'll end up doing.

My bag contained:

An eyeshadow quad from Be a Bombshell, I the shade Bora Bora: The colors (Starlet/a gorgeous bronze, Bora Bora/a very beachy turquoise, Risky Business/a gold tone, and Rock Bottom/a perfect sunset-on-the horizon copper) all have a bit of shimmer, are very pigmented and blend well. I really like this quad;

Nicole by OPI's Roughles textured nail polish in the shade On What Grounds?: I'm not a fan of this textured polish. I looks like a robin's egg, asphalt hybrid. I usually love the polishes that I receive from ipsy, bit this one is no bueno;

An adorable mini Marvelous Moxie lipstick from Bare Minerals in the shade Get Ready: The packaging is adorable, the sample size is decent, and the lipstick goes smoothly, but the shade is simply too pink for me. I wish I had received the gloss instead; and

Indian Coconut Nectar Body Butter from Pacifica: This is easily my favorite item this month. I adore a good body butter. This one smells divine, and I don't even like coconut! It works well as a moisturizer without being greasy. I'll definitely be purchasing more of this, and checking out the other available scents.

What did all you other ipsters think of the March bag and selection of products? As I said, I was less than impressed. Hopefully next month is better... and we get back to receiving 5 product bags.
