Foggy Morning Jewelry Designs
About 2 months ago I had seen my friend Kas over at Pretty Addictions had posted something on her facebook page about Foggy Morning Jewelry Designs and I figured I would check it out. I found a few things I knew I had to have but wanted to wait until I had a little more cash in my bank account to order. Well it just so happened that when I finally was ready to order she was having a sale for facebook fans for 35% off your entire order, hell yeah! I got 4 pieces for around $30 total with shipping so I saved around $10 with the sale code. I received my order about 7-10 days after my purchase. Wanna see my goodies!
All my pieces came in this cute little white box with a purple ribbon tied on it and a sticker that says thank you to seal it. Also inside the box there is shredded purple paper which you will see a little of in the pic below.
My jewelry came in 2 purple organza bags.
Each piece came attached to a piece of cardstock that said 10% off your next order, but I'm a little unsure on how to get that because there is no code or anything so I guess I'm gonna have to message her and find out. Like most of the world I love Twilight( I know True Blood and Twilight are 2 different things) and once I saw these True Blood Inspired earrings and hair pins I had to have them, however I do wish the roses on the earrings would have matched the roses on the hair pins, but I still love them! I think I may just wear them when I go watch Twilight Breaking Dawn.
Ok I really havent understood every ones obsession lately with bows but once I saw these pearl bow earrings I think i kinda got a little obsessed myself, they are so freakin cute. I gotta tell you when i first wore them to work a coworker said they didnt fit me cuz they weren't black, lol! I really do wish they came in black or maybe a hot pink because thats a lil more my style, but these make me seem like maybe Im a lil sweet and innocent, haha yeah right!
The last thing I got was the Blue Open Rose earring studs. Why did I get these? I have no idea I must have liked them that day but they so aren't me and they are a little too big for my taste, but I'm sure they would make a great gift or a giveaway item.
I was very impressed with my order from Foggy Morning Jewelry Designs, and i think I feel another purchase coming up.

November BirchBox
This months Birchbox was definitely better than last month. I liked 3 out of the 5 items I got. Some of the stuff is a little on the pricier end, maybe I need to change my profile a little or something. This months theme is "Getting Gifty". The box is the same as last months so I'm not gonna post any pics of that, so lets see what was in there.
This is the card they put in every box with each products name, description, and the price of the full size items.
Just a shot of everything all together!
This is Atelier Cologne " Orange SanguineCologne Absolue". If you cant tell by the name its got an orange scent to it, it also has jasmine and sandalwood in there as well. Its an ok scent but I am not a big fan of smelling like oranges, just not my thing I guess. They have this in 2 different sizes a 30ml for $50 and a 200ml for $145, so thats not too pricey I mean 200 ml is alot! So if you are a fan of oranges you may fall in love with this cologne.
BORGHESE "Fango Delicato Active Mud for Delicate Dry Skin" This is a mud mask for your face and or body, they say if you have dry knees or elbows you can also use it on them. I used this last night on my face because I have extremely dry skin and it worked like a charm, it left my face nice and soft. Im gonna have to try it next on my elbows and see how that go's. I received a 1 oz sample and I'm sure I can easily get at least 5 uses out of it or maybe more.They have this in 2 sizes also a 7oz. for $33.50 and a 17.6 oz. for $64, and I think thats not too bad because say if you buy a 7 oz. tube you should be able to get around 35 uses from it.
Yep you guessed it this is Supersmile "Professional Whitening Toothpaste". They say its safe for all types of teeth, false ones and veneers and your real ones too. I haven't yet tried this because I know I will never buy it because the full size costs $21 for a 4.2 oz. tube. In my opinion thats way to much for toothpaste.
And this is my favorite thing from my box this month and it is Zoya " Nail Polish in Noel". This is 1 of the 6 shades in Zoya's new Gems and Jewels Collection. I will put a pic below of what it looks like on my nails. I have never tried Zoya because I thought $8 for a nail polish was too much but I now believe its well worth it. Zoya nail polishes do not have formaldehyde, tuolene, or dibutyl phthalate, plus they say its suppose to last 50% longer than traditional nail polish.
Just to give you an idea of what it looks like on. The other 5 shades are pretty cute too.
This is what Birchbox calls a treat, which is just an extra item they sometimes throw in your box. These are Two Paper Dolls " Amperstand Coasters". I'm not too excited about these I mean they are just cardboard coasters but hey I may use them! They sell for $15 for a set of 6, yeah for cardboard um I dont think so.
What did you think of your BirchBox this month?

Sampler Village
I had seen a few people on facebook and youtube talking about these boxes and I just had to get my hands on one. I bought the Lavishly Samplicious Sampler Box for $40 and thats including shipping. In this box you receive 35-40 randomly selected samples. I ordered on a friday and got my package on monday, now thats some fast service. Wanna see what I got?
This is the box everything came in, there was so much stuff they couldnt fit them all in the box some are behind it if you can see it. October was breast cancer awareness month so they did the box like this especially for that.
Wow! there sure is alot of samples there. I would love to go through all of them but this post would be forever long then, so Im gonna show you my top 10 favorites. I got alil bit of everything in this months box, soap, shower gel, candles, makeup, bath salts, hair accessories, lip balm, perfume stix, and much more!
Ok these are my top 10.
these are bath bombs that look like a cupcake. the larger sizes sell for 8-12 bucks. I recieved a sample of the scent " Divine Women". I have not tried it yet because its too cute I dont want to mess it up, lol.
I recieved a pair of dove earrings and a $5 gift certificate from them. They sell jewelry, pillows, wallart, and some other good stuff.
From her I got that cute pen with the flowers on it. I love this pen, and I think these would make great favors for a wedding or a lil gift. She sells alot of wedding accessories and the prices vary depending upon the item.
The sample I got from them is a banana cream pie scented body wash. This smells just like banana cream pie to me, almost makes you forget thats its bodywash. They sell bodywash, bath salts, lotions, soap, and a few other things that smell good over there. They are a bit pricey a 9.2 oz. bottle of body wash retails for $15.
I got a sample of pumpkin cheesecake lip balm. Its not a very strong smell but you can definitely smell a hint of pumpkin in there. It is also very moisturizing. 1 tube sells for $2.95, but you can order bulk orders also and have them personalized too!
I got a sample bag of milk goats glycerin soap. Each one is shaped like a little flower. They lather pretty well and smell good too. They sell all sorts of soap over there. You can purchase a mini bag with 5 mini soaps for as little as $2.
I received a soy melt cup in the scent " Lollipop Kiss" which is a weird kinda scent not sure what it is but I like it, but I believe they dont carry them anymore. They sell soy melt cups, soy breakaway bricks and warmers. The soy melt cups are fairly cheap you can get 2 for $3.50, or a whole brick for $4.
I got 2 mini tart melts that look like little muffins in the scent "Oatmeal Raisin". They smell like oatmeal cookies but I dont smell any raisins but thats cool cuz I dont like raisins anyway. They sell the cutest little candles over there, you can get muffins, cookies, fruit, and alot of other ones, and they even sell soap. The large size muffins sell for $6 each.
This sample was a solid perfume stick in the scent "butt naked" which smells like grape candy to me. She sells lipbalms, lipscrubs, lipgloss, perfume stix, and a few other things. A .15oz. perfume stix sells for $6.25.
Last but not least I got a sample of a soy tart in the scent "Pumpkin Pie Spice". When you burn this you will think your baking a pie it smells so good! They sell soy tarts, jar candles, bath and body products and much more. 20 of these lil pumpkin soy tarts sell for $2.95. They also have flat rate shipping for $5.95.
If you wanna get your own box the Nov./Dec. box will be available for sale on Dec. 1st. They have 3 boxes to choose from. Head on over to www.samplervillage.com to check it out, trust me you will love them.
If you already get their box what was your favorite sample?
