ThredUP Haul & Review & Unboxing (Majorly Discounted Designer Clothes!)

Wow, I can't believe I've only just now discovered ThredUP!  So many great brands I didn't think were affordable are now suddenly not only affordable, but cheap!  I picked up a bunch of new tops plus an amazing jacket... this jacket is Sanctuary brand (for anthropologie) and it's just so soft, well made and arrived like new.  The jacket was $20, the tops were between about $5 and $10.  One Max Studio top pictured last below still had the tags on-- $68 retail!

They have a referral program that offers a $20 credit to all new customers (click here).  My mom has ordered using the $20 credit, and there is no minimum purchase-- in other words, order $20 of merchandise and only pay for shipping ($5.99).  Alternately, spend at least $70 and get free shipping, and use the $20 as a discount on your order.  I will also get $20 if you order for referring you to their site, and if you are pleased with your purchase you can also refer people to ThredUP and receive credits towards shopping.  It's a win-win-win-win! ;)

I'm already browsing the site in anticipation of ordering some more items.  I could see gradually replacing my entire wardrobe (which currently consists heavily of items from H&M and Forever 21 clearance items) with nicer and more age appropriate items from this site.  I really hope they continue to succeed and grow!

They also sell handbags, accessories, and children's clothing.  Some items have been marked down a second time (the items with a red price) to an extra low price-- those items can't be returned.  Everything else can be returned either for store credit or a refund as long as you mail the items back in 14 days.  If you request a store credit for your return, the return shipping is free!

The brands on here are varied and anything from high end to low end.  Gucci, Stuart Weitzman, Tory Burch, Theory, J Crew, anthropologie, Banana Republic, Gap, Ann Taylor, H&M, Forever 21... I believe they actually advertise that they have over 25,000 brands! That's insane!!  Happy shopping! :)

Birchbox October 2015 sample SPOILERS + First box for $5 + Birchbox September 2015 Unboxing!

The Birchbox October 2015 sample choices are four mascaras.  I'm excited about the Benefit They're Real sample because it's the best mascara I've ever used, so I'm definitely going to pick up that sample.  The rest of the mascara options are: Benefit Roller Lash Mascara, Stila Huge Extreme Lash Mascara, and W3LL People Expressionist Mascara.

Birchbox is also offering a special deal this month: Use code SUBSCRIBENOW50 to Get your first box for $5!  A steal since you get at least $5 back to spend in their shop for reviewing products.  Another option is receiving a year of Glamour Magazine for free with your subscription using code BBMAG. 

My September Birchbox was a pretty good one.  The only sample I'm not excited about is the perfume-- I don't like the scent and I'm generally not a fan of perfume samples in boxes.  Here's what I received: 

Salon Gioje Keratin Protein Mask
Trestique Correct & Cover Concealer Crayon
Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil
Raw Spirit Fragrances Wild Fire Eau De Parfum
100% Pure Organic Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream

JORD Ely Maple Wood Watch Review!

 I've had the pleasure to wear this JORD wood watch for the past couple months and I've really been enjoying it! It's been a while since I wore a watch, and I love that it keeps both the time and the date right at hand, I don't have to dig around in my purse for my phone.  I am also a huge fan of the style of the watch-- the large watch face and the light wood are flattering on my wrist and skin tone.  It has also been a great look for summer.  JORD has a variety of wood tones and designs.

 This particular watch is called the Ely and the wood color is Maple.  Here's their website if you want to check out more of their unique designs.

I filmed an unboxing and first impression video to give you a better look at the design of the watch.  The watch arrives in a gorgeous wooden box, great for gift giving.  The clasp of the watch is really unique, you can see how it works in the video:

Butter London Bloody Brilliant Lip Crayons Review & Swatches

I have really been loving these lip crayons- the colors are great and go on smoothly, and I like that there's a pencil sharpener right in the lid of the lip crayon.  Hope you enjoy these swatches!

MUNCHPAK Subscription Box

MUNCHPAK is a new snack subscription program.  They send out a box of snacks that come from all over the world! I received a variety of candy & chips so this box is definitely for a junk food lover.  I've already tried many of the snacks and enjoy them! I especially loved a strawberry flavored Japanese candy.
