November Loot Crate : BATTLE!!!!

hello everyone,

im kinda behind here when it comes to my ipsy and loot crate, with work and the holidays, it can make it hard to keep up. I'm so excited about December's loot crate, it just got here today so im going to do this post, wrap some Christmas presents, and do December's crate. Honestly i was a tad bit disappointed with this box, and so far i've loved every crate I've gotten, but lets move on shall we.

item 1: Pirates vs Ninja shirt

Who doesn't love a little pirates vs ninja action, i know i do. its a mash up of a pirate and ninja with the use of words. It's quite cool.

Item 2: Assassin's Creed Unity Coin w/velvet pouch

this coin here was a loot crate exclusive.  On one side of the coin theres an empty spot to get your name engraved...if you want to go that far....i dont think that i would but others might, and thats a cool little extra on the coin.

Item 3: Mega Man Mini Helmet

I got the red helmet. you get the helmet and a stand....i believe this was another loot crate exclusive, per what the little magazine said.

Item 4: Halo Drop Ship Mini Figure.

This i was excited about. I collect these little halo figures and was excited to add another to my collection. there is not really to much to say about it, either way i love it.

Item 5: Street Fighter headband

This is the one item i really didnt care for, so i dont have much to say about it.


as always there was a few things for some digital loot, the little loot crate magazine, and the pin commemorating this months theme.  I'm probably going to get rid of most of the items in the November box.

Up next will be the December Loot Crate anniversary box. SO EXCITE!!!! then i will hopefully catch up on my ipsy glam bag and maybe have some knitting stuff to report on.

Until next post.

September lootcrate: Galactic

Hello everyone,

Sorry about the delay of September's lootcrate, I do already have October, so I can wait to get them both up.

I wouldn't say I was disappointed with this box, it had good items in it, but I was not familiar with the firefly show. I am happy with October's box so that made up for it. Lets go with the contents shall we?

Star trek tribble exclusive looter edition.

This little guy is cute and soft and definitely the highlight of the box. When I saw this guy in there I immediately opened it to play around with it. I eventually gave this to my friend whom is  huge trekkie, I know she will take good care of him.

Alien action figure.

I wasnt over the moon about this.  Its pretty cool, but I probably wont keep it. Not much else to say about it.

Firefly "mal" exclusive action figure.

I've never watched firefly so I really don't know what to say about this figure. Its made by funko, I do have one of the walking dead mystery minis, as well as their daryl dixon pop figure, the lootcrate exclusive groot pop figure from the heros box,and batman pop figure. I like the way they design the figures in the mystery minis and pop collections. I will definitely buy more without a doubt.

Firefly bank robbery money.

I got nothing.

Star wars exclusive retro arcade magnet.

I always love the magnets in these boxes, this one especially.  I love the retro style of this magnet,  takes you back to those arcade classics like space invaders and asteroids.

Star wars poster 9 x 27

Hans solo encased In carbonite, need I say more. Pretty cool, just need to find a place to hang it.

Pop rocks candy.

It speaks for itself.

Bonus digital loot.

A digital code for dark horse comics halo escalation comics.  I have not used it yet, but its supposed to "give you your first taste" of the comic. I'm a halo fan so I will check it out.

As always there was a pin commemorating this box, and I do plan on keeping that.

Comming up is October's box, which had some real cool stuff inside.

Until next post!

Waffle blanket update.

This update is long over due, this I do know.  I've been so busy with work and blogging about my subscription boxes, that I just didn't make any progress for some time.  My new goal was to do at least one row on it everyday, which I have, and I have made some progress. I unconsciously made a few mistakes that made themselves known when I decided to look at how my work was comming along, I would have fixed them if I hadn't knitted a few rows after them.  I'll include pictures in the post of how the work is going on the blanket and a link to the pattern I've been using so you can try it to. I'm determined to finish this blanket it will be my first one that I have not unraveled because it wasn't comming along fast enough or I terribly messed up.

Until next post!

*Upcoming blog posts will be on the September ipsy bag and lootcrate galactic box*

Loot Crate August: Heros!

Hello yet again, for another loot crate unboxing.

I figured I would dive right in sense this box was still fresh in my mind.  I do have to say that im totally digging loot crate. This being my second box,  im absolutely impressed. I highly recommend this to any nerd,  geek,  or gamer. Lets dig into my box, shall we

Groot glow in the dark loot crate exclusive.
This funko pop figure is absolutely adorable.  I have not seen the Guardians of the galaxy yet, but I am in love with this figure. I was thinking aoust saving this and giving it to my boyfriends 8 year old son for Christmas because he wanted to see this movie and was digging raccoon rocket,  so I thought hey he might like it, but the more and more I look at it the harder it is for me to part with.

Schwings accessories for your shoes.
I'm liking these little lightening bolt accessories.  Your supposed to lace them up threw your shoe laces, to add a little pizazz to your shoes. Cant wait to try them.

Mega man apple cinnamon scented air freshener
I guess its really proto man my bad. Cant wait t hang this stylish air freshener in my car.

TMNT Michaelangelo sunglasses
These are pretty cool.  My friends know me well and know I would totally rock these and not care, however I decided my boyfriends 8 year old son could probably rock these without all the weird stares, so I gave them to him.

TMNT ooze action donatello
This cute little bugger glows in the dark, comes with his signature weapon.  This cute guy is what I think ill end up gifting to my boyfriends 8 year old, even tough I dont want to part with him either,  because he is adorable,  but I think he would like it and he'd totally play with him.  If he ends up not liking TMNT by his birthday or Christmas,  ill keep him lol.

Chimichangos magnet
Loot crate labs came up with this magnet, if deadpool had a favorite cereal apparently this would be it

Lastly we have the loot crate heroes magazine the details everything that came in the box, the commerative button, and some codes for 3 games I dont know about, which idk if ill even use em

Again super impressed with this box, I cant wait for the next one.  I hope loot crate keeps up the great work. I included a picture of the box once it was empty,  i thought the design was pretty cool.

Until next post!

Vow vox box

I took some time from blogging to use the items in this box to be able to give a proper review. I recieved these products complimentary from influenster for testing purposes.

In this box I recieved 5 products : sally hansen complete salon manicure in the color barracuda, olay regenerist luminous tone perfecting cream, pure silk raspberry mist shave cream, a tide to go pen, and an ecotools pure complexion facial sponge. There was also a card for a free trial of a wedding website, as I am not getting married anytime soon, I didn't use it.

Product 1: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Barracuda ($7.99)

This is a pastel cream color polish, it is a pretty color, however I am not fond of cream polishes.  I like a few but not many. I painted my toes with the color, I just hate the many coats I need for it to give complete coverage. I may just be terrible at painting my nails with cream polish, I dont know, but dont let what I think determine whether you try it or not because it is a beautiful color.

Product 2: Olay regenerist luminous tone perfecting cream ($30.99)

I absolutely hands down love this product. It has made my skin look better and feel softer. You dont have to use a lot of the product on your face,  little goes a long way. The smell of it isnt to bad either, I use it morning and night and still have a whole lot left, and iv had it for about 3 weeks.

Product 3: Pure silk raspberry mist shave cream ($1.49) for the 5oz ($2.19) for 8oz

Im going to say right off the bat, I didn't like it at first. It smelled awesome, but my skin is sensitive and I get razor burn easily during the summer months.  the shave cream dryed my skin out the first time I used it, so I didnt use it the next few times and started it again. It still drys out my skin but I have a great lotion I use after each shave and I havent had problems with razor burn after I started using it. I would say everyone should try it.

Product 4: Tide to go pen ($7.99) 3ct

Im going to be honest I haven't used this tide to go pen, I have used one a while ago an it was pretty decent. Once I actually try it ill update you.

Product 5: Ecotools pure complexion facial sponge ($5.99)

Love love love this sponge! After one use my skin felt smooth and refreshed. I use it at least once a day, usually at night before bed. Its made with 100 percent natural ingredients for a better clean. If I could suggest only one product for you to try, it would be this one.

Well that is it for the vow vox box. I have one for julep and one for ghis month lootcrate which had a villian them!

Until next post!
