Comic Bento May 2015

Hey everyone! I got my very first Comic Bento box to review! I was so excited because, who doesn't love comic books!?
Comic Bento is $17.50 a month plus shipping, which is a steal because the comics inside are always worth more!

I got 5 Comics. I really was not sure how many i would be getting but i am MORE than satisfied with what i got!

Star Trek Countdown to Darkness

This comic is about 98 pages with a few bonus pages! The graphics are really good and the characters really look like the ones in the movies.  Here is what the back of the book says:

On a routine survey mission to a remote 

plant, Captain James Kirk and the crew

of the Starship Enterprise become

embroiled in  a decades-old conflict

between two factions of the indigenous

population. The flames of their conflict

have been fanned by the unexpected

presence of a former captain of the 

Enterprise, long presumed to be dead.

This is a must-have graphic novel for all

 Star Trek fans!

If you love Star Trek or just love comics in general, check this out! The price on the back of the book is $17.99 (already worth more than the cost of the box! I will be gifting this one because i know somebody who LOVES Star Trek.

The Avengers Prelude: Black Widow Strikes

This comic has really good graphics as well. On the cover is Scarlett Joansson as the Black Widow in the movie the Avengers. There are some cool bonus pages in the back including a little bonus comic Iron Man "The Crimson Dynamo Strikes Again". It's very colorful! On the back it says it is $12.99

Before Natasha assembles with the Avengers initiative, see her travel back to her homeland to match wits and fists with a deadly admirer in this hard-hitting espionage adventure set between the events of Iron Man 2 and Marvel's The Avengers

Green Hornet Volumes 1 &2

Volume 1 is Sins of the Father and Volume 2 is Wearing O' The Green. These are both Kevin Smith comics, which is awesome because Kevin Smith is awesome! I am going to write whats on the back of Volume 1. They both retail at $19.99 each. Both combined is more than the box!

Collection Features:

* Issues 1-5 of the series based on Kevin Smith's unproduced Green Hornet film.

* Complete cover gallery by industry greats Alex Ross, John Cassaday, J. Scott Campell and more

*Introduction by the man himself, Kevin Smith!

The Green Hornet is back, and Dynamite is the new home for the avenging hero, his faithful sidekick, Kato and their sweet ride - the Black Beauty!

Playboy Britt Reid Jr. has lived a frivolous life of luxury. But when a mysterious figure from the past brutally and publicly murders his father, all of that changes. Now, driven by a thirst for vengeance and guided by two generations of Katos, this one time underachiever will find those responsible and take his father's place as Century City's greatest protector - Green Hornet  

Predator: Prey to the Heavens

I know Predator from the movies. This comic is really cool. It's valued at $15.99. It's about 102 pages long with a few extra pages. 

The world's attention is focused painfully on a brutal third-world civil war, a merciless sectarian conflict sparing neither soldier nor civilian, mother nor child. But amidst the terror and carnage, where great nations and powerful interests jockey for position and advantage, another blood feud rages in the shadows, one no more humane but decidedly less human. Two warring tribes from the stars have chosen Earth's killing fields as their arena, with each clan sworn to eradicate the other... and all who stand between them. Each is the other's prey, each other's Predator. 

It seems so intense! Check it out especially if you love kind of scary things like this!

Comic Bento is a great opportunity to get the latest and greatest comics for such a great price! I highly recommend trying it out and if you don't like it, it's so easy to cancel!

Tom Box June 2015

Hey everybody! I got my Tom Box for June already. For those of you who do not know, Tom Box is a subscription box for a woman/girl on her period. It comes with jewelry and makeup and you can opt in to get more makeup and jewelry if you would like. That is what I did. I get the double makeup and jewelry.

Playtex Gentle Glide 360

These are my tampon of choice at the moment. I like them a lot because they are really absorbent and you don't even feel it when you are doing things like exercising or swimming! Perfect for when you want to do summer activities. 

Be A Bombshell Lip Crayon:

I love this! I didn't think the color was going to be very good but it is such a bright pink color! I don't know when i am ever going to wear it but the color is so pretty that it's going to be used a lot!

Makeup Brush

I am not really a fan of the makeup brushes they send. They seem very cheap and they never have a name or brand on them. It will get used eventually but i am not impressed with this one. 

Cargo Eye Shadow 

This is a nice brand of eye shadow, I believe the retail is around $16 which is more than half the cost of the box i got. The color is really pretty and very opaque. I will be using this a lot! 

Styled By Hayadi- Pure Happy Smooth

I really love this stuff! I don't usually have problems with frizzy hair but i tried this out and then went outside into the humid air and my hair still looked great! I would highly recommend checking this out!

Skone Tattooed Eyeliner

This eyeliner is so cool! I have never used a "tattoo" eyeliner before. It goes on so smooth and i like this WAY better than the liquid eyeliner. It kind of smells like a Sharpie so i was hesitant at first when trying it out but now i love it and will definatly buy more when i run out. 

Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish: Denims

I love nail polish. Any kind even if its the cheap kind. I have never bought Maybelline Color Show before but i have seen many advertisements about it, so i was excited to see it in my box. I put it one but it definitely needs two coats because the first coat looks nice but is faded so you really need a second to make it POP! 

Here is the jewelry i got! I have no idea when it comes to brands where these are from. 

I love this ring! It coils around and there are two pearl looking things on the end. I love it and actually wore it out yesterday and got compliments on it!

This is an anklet i think. I wasn't too sure what it was. It looks to me like an anklet because it has the adjustable chain link. I will probley wear this to the pool or something. I feel like you could buy something like this at Claire's.

There you have it for the June Tom Box. I highly recommend checking this out!

Target Beauty Box Summer 2015

Hey everybody! So, I missed out on getting the Spring box from Target but as soon as I heard that the summer beauty box was out I got it right away.

Hooray for Target Beauty boxes!

The Target Beauty Box is $7 and if you have their Target Red Card then you get free shipping! Yay! It's quarterly and you have to act fast because they sell out SO fast.

Let's get started:

Olay Regenerist Luminous HydraSwirl Eye Cream

This is supposed to help correct dark circles. It's really cool because of the hydra-swirl! It is unscented. I actually gave this one to my mom because i knew i wouldn't use it. The retail value for full size is $23.99.

Revlon HD Lipstick

When they say HD they really mean it! This lipstick is so bright red and i LOVE it. 

The retail value is $7.99  I would recommend this to everybody because it's awesome. 

SinfulColors Professional Nail Color

This color is Supernova and it's my new favorite polish! It is almost copper colored but its so cool! Sinful Colors nail polish is not very opaque so you need a couple coats for it to look nice. The retail value is $1.99

Cutex Advanced Revival Nail Polish Remover Pads

I was excited about these because i really don't like using the bottles kind of nail polish remover because it's so easy for my kids to knock over and spill on my carpet. The only thing that bothered me about these is the fact that they didn't take off all of the nail polish. It missed the sides of my nails and i had to use other remover to get it off. The retail is $3.99 for a pack of 10. Honestly I would prefer another kind of remover than this for $3.99.

Fekkai Professional Hair Care, Hair Mist

I gave this to my mom. It is supposed to help with frizzy hair and keeping it looking nice. I don't use too many hair products to that's why i gave it to her. The full size bottle is $20. I think that's expensive but for some people it's not and if you have problems with frizzy hair you should try this out!

All in all i really liked this box. My favorite was the nail polish and the lipstick. Some people liked the spring better than the summer box but i really liked this one! It's sold out now but keep an eye out because they release them randomly. 

Did you get this box? What nail polish did you get? What about the lipstick?

Arcade Block May 2015

Hey everyone! I just received my very first Arcade Block in the mail today.  It's the May box, they ship it out at the end of the month on the 25th and you get it at the beginning of the month.

I was SO excited about this box!!

Let's start off with the shirt in this box!

This is the fantasy fighter t-shirt. It is from ShirtPunch and is exclusive to Arcade Block subscribers. Jeremy loves it (he's wearing it right now!) 

Next is the Apothecary Jar 

Jeremy also loved this. He loves anything Zelda related. We put this with our other little video game ollectible items. 

Next we have the Special Forces Military Cap

This is a hat from Metal Gear Solid. We have a friend who will love this! Neither Jeremy or I really wear hats but this is going to make a nice gift!

Next is a Kick Punch Magnet

I like this magnet! I think its cute and you can never have too many magnets right? 

Next is the "Blue Shell on Board" sign

This is cute but i had a baby on board sign and it wouldn't stick to the window so i don't think i will be using this and i don't really know who to give it to either...

Last but not least is the South Park Stick of Truth Figure

I got The Grand Wizard Cartman. I was really hoping to get Princess Kenny but it seems like most people got Cartman. We already have the big version of this that came with the game when it came out. I am hoping to swap this with somebody. 

Arcade Block is a video game mystery box. Its $19.99 +shipping each month. The more months you buy the cheaper it gets!  They do have other subscription boxes too. They have the original Nerd Block, Arcade Block, Horror Block, Comic Block and a boys or girls Nerd Block Jr.   Comic Block and the JR. boxes are $13.99 a month + shipping. 

I highly recommend checking this out. I can't wait for next months box. I heard there is going to be a Metroid item and a Team Fortress 2 item will be in June's box! Can't wait!!! 

Check it out!

PINCHme May 2015 Samples

Hey everyone! I got my PINCHme box for May. PINCHme send you samples each month and all you have to do is review them on their website. The samples go so quick so sometimes you might only get one.  This is not a subscription box and is free for everybody!

These are the ones i managed to get:

I would say i did pretty well. I got lots of coupons which is nice!

Splenda minis:

These are really cool. Each little tab is equivalent to 1/2 a packet of Splenda. It works in both hot and cold drinks. I like this because i can keep it in my purse! The retail for the full size is around $3.40 

Olay Body Wash:

The scent of this is cooling white strawberry and mint. I love this! I have actually purchased this before so i knew i would like it! The retail of the full size is $4.47.

Gold Bond Healing lotion

I have some Gold Bond lotion but it is not the same as this. I really like this because it has aloe and it soothes the skin. The full size retails at $5.67

Shea Moisture baby wash & shampoo and lotion:

I used this on both of my kids in the bath and the packets were just enough for the two of them! I LOVED the smell of wash and the lotion. I had never heard of this brand until i recieved this for sample. They are a little pricey compared to Johnsons&Johnsons. The baby wash and shampoo and the lotion are $7.94 for the full size. 

Coupons!

I got 2 coupons for $3 off Method Laundry. Method Laundry Detergent is about $16.49 for 20oz. That is more than i would like to spend but i may give it a try since i have coupons.

I got a $1 off coupon for the Olay body wash which is awesome because i will definatly use that!

I feel like i am always getting these $100 off of $160 Wine purchase vouchers. I never use them. I end up giving them away

That is it for my PINCHme box. If you like free stuff i would highly recommend checking this website out!

Encourage Play May 2015

Hey guys! I am really excited to tell you about this new subscription box i found called Encourage Play. It is a subscription box geared at getting kids to be creative and play!

This month's theme is Flexibility. It comes with a little pamphlet that tells you a little bit about what flexibility means. There are 2 play date activities and one family activity examples to do as well.

This was inside the box

Inside you will find pipe cleaners, a squishy brain, 2 pencils, small white sheets of paper, a bag of beads and some silly putty. 

The first activity we did together was make something out of the pipe cleaners and beads. 

Together we made a dragonfly! She thought that this was so much fun and loved putting the beads on the pipe cleaners.

Next we drew something on paper and transferred it to the silly putty!

we drew a little cat and put the silly putty on top, pressed down and when we lifted it up our cat was on the putty! My daughter thought it was so fun stretching the cat and making it look silly.  (so my daughter thought it was okay to put the silly putty in her hair.. I almost had to cut her hair because it was so bad! Silly toddlers!)

The family project was taking the brain outside, gathering items (rocks, flowers, leaves, etc) and comparing how flexible they were compared to the brain. My daughter is a little bit too young to understand that but we still played with the brain. 

As you can tell this is geared towards being creative and it really brought out the creative side of my daughter. There are so many things everybody could have made with the pipe cleaners and the beads. Each kid is creative in their own way and it's really nice to see that shine when they are having fun. 

if you want to sign up (I would recommend it!) click HERE!  I really believe that kids should not be sitting in front of the tv all day and this box makes it so that they are having fun and don't really care to watch tv. It's $25 a month and next month's theme is Working Together. Sign up by June 21st and get yours now!

Splendies May 2015

Hey everybody! I decided to get a subscription to Splendies. They send you 3 pairs of undies each month! What girl wouldn't love that?

I tried putting paper underneath so that you could see the detail of each pair.

This pair is from Pucker Up. Very lacy and so cute! I like the ribbon detail too.\

I made the mistake of tearing off the tags before i did my review and i can't remember the brand of these! They are so cut and lacy like the other ones! 

This one is a little different. It is seamless so it wont show through your pants. Cute polka dots and the brand is also Pucker Up!

That was what i got this may for my first splendies box! I am impressed and will keep this subscription!

If you want to sign up it's $13.99 a month but you get your first month for $9.99.You can choose from surprise variety, no thongs or all thongs. Seriously, like i said before, who doesn't like new undies each month? You can never have to many! Check out Splendies and sign up HERE!
