I love their new box... It is so cute :)

I love the attention to detail on their box.  This is by far my favorite box design!

NYX Wonder Pencil, Full Size.  Value $4.50

Me Me Me Cosmetics Shimmer Stack in Gold – Value $15

This MeMeMe Bronzer has a gorgeous understated shimmer.  I am not sure if it will have quite enough oomph for what I like my bronzer to do but we shall see!

Sweet Pea and Fay Lip Joule  in Big Parade – Value $7.99.  

This color was so fun!  I had to immediately try it on!  I know some others said it was too bright but I think it is right on trend and super cute!

Colour U Mega Matte Lipstick in Matte Cinnamon - Value $15

This is really not my favorite color but I will give it a chance.  Now something about this lipstick, I don't know if it got too hot in transit or what but it had beads of water/oil on it and it has a very sticking consistency... I am hoping it is not old stock.

Red Cherry Black Eye Lashes – Value $2.50

I can't wait to try these Red & Cherry false eyelashes!  I can't believe they are made of REAL hair!

Makeup Remover 100% Cotton Cloth – Value $4.99

I have never seen anything like this before, it's wet in there... hmmm.

Report Card Notes:

I LOVE this box!! Why?? Because it is fresh, new, exciting, on trend and FUN!!!  This for the fun, fearless female looking for something exciting and new in their make up collection! There is not another make up sub like this one.  The packaging and branding is new, fun and interesting I am 100% in love with the design!  I love the variety and the colors.  The value for dollar is also definitely there... I paid $22 and received $55 worth of make up.  Importantly though they were all new to me, and they were also new to my collection! Lip Facory's referral program leaves a bit to be desired though.  If you refer someone they have to enter a number during check out to give you credit and no discount is offered so it makes it hard for referrals to actually follow through with reporting who referred them. This box brought us the "The Diva in You" theme which rang through with flying colors and I absolutely cannot wait to see what they will do next!  I really enjoy trying new things and so I appreciate the effort they put into this box to create a unique theme like this.

Report Card Notes:

The packaging and branding is interesting but it could use some updating.  Being that they were newly launched in April I am sure they have several surprises in store for us. The value for dollar is definitely there because retail prices on these items is up and over $30.  They do not have a referral program that I am aware but they are willing to work with you if you think you may have a significant amount of referrals. This box brought us a variety of food and body options and so this is definitely a mixed bag sample box, which I like!   The body butter alone was valued at $19 and smelled absolutely delicious! I really enjoy trying new things and so I appreciate the effort they put into this box to create a box like this.

Fantasy Box - Adult Monthly Subscription Box - August 2013 - Photo Gallery Review

The Fantasy Box is a $59 – $159/month adult fantasy monthly subscription.  The Fantasy Box is a subscription service for comprehensive fantasies designed to bring a little “kick” into your intimate relationship. You’ll receive a monthly (or every other month if you choose) box that includes step-by-step instructions and goodies to create a little escape from your regular life.

Alright Let's See the Box:

It is important to remember that this box is not about the "stuff" you get but they provide you with an experience.  I would say that this first experience would be good for beginners who are not very comfortable with sort of thing (like me!).  This first set allows someone to be the Leader and someone be the Follower and you have your respective instruction cards.  For this fantasy basically the Leader picks out your outfit and tells the Follower where to wait...... blind folded at which point they can basically do whatever or take you wherever they want.  The Leader card provides some suggestions and tips to maximize the pleasure.  Whoa... now, I am getting ahead of myself... hehe.  FIRST, you have a romantic dinner and you each have conversation starter cards, they are the for her and for him cards shown above.  They provide great inside information of your desires and what you like that you many not have discussed before.  You can choose to stick to the questions or just use them to get started.....

I think that this is the best adult box out there because it creates and experience that some people are just too shy to create on their own.  I recommend this box to couples that are looking to spice things up a bit!!
