Product Review: Sunset 45's "The Little Luxuries Box"

This month I had the privilege of collaborating with Sunset 45 and reviewing their June "Little Luxuries Box".  The Little Luxuries Box is a box filled with fashion and beauty products worth $100+ that arrives at your doorstep once a month for a subscription price of only $30/mo plus $5 shipping.  Each month's box is different and unique.  I was so excited with the June 2014 box I received, which was inspired by one of the latest runway trends: tribal.  

The box included a gorgeous "Nona" necklace, "Jinji" earrings, OPI Nail Lacquer in "Dating a Royal", NYX Butter Lipstick in "Hot Tamale", Hello Waffle blush and coupon, and 7th Heaven Naturals mask!  WOW, right?  It definitely made my day when my box arrived.  The necklace and earrings are truly beautiful pieces of jewelry and great quality.  I am excited to style the necklace in an upcoming post; if you keep scrolling you will see how I styled the earrings, lipstick, nail polish, and blush.  The nail polish color is a bold royal blue and looks great with just two coats.  The lipstick is one of my faves from the box!  The bright orange color is a new addition to my lipstick collection and feels soft on the lips.  The blush is a sweet, light pink that applies nicely on the cheeks and creates a perfect tint of color.  Last but not least, the mask was wonderful.  As a blogger, I am very consistent and careful with my skincare.  I enjoyed trying the new mask.  It didn't irritate my skin (which is rare because I have very sensitive skin) and my face felt very smooth after. 

Overall, I give Sunset 45's "The Little Luxuries Box" an A+!  The products are of true quality and the customer service is so friendly.  The packaging and presentation were professional and appealing.

My Style: Shimmery Poncho

Today's Look:  includes a shimmery poncho, charcoal skinny jeans, and black military boots.  The shimmery poncho is two sizes too big for me, but I love it.  It has a loose/casual fit, but the sparkles dress it up.  To be consistent with my leathers, I wore black leather boots with a black leather purse.  Finishing off the outfit, I added tarnished gold jewelry pieces that included a couple of rings, earrings, and a heart pendant necklace.

Fashion Tip:  When wearing a girly, shimmery top with a casual outfit, try pairing the top with jeans and boots or simple sandals to dull down the sparkle, rather than wearing shimmery shoes that clash.  The focus should be on the top.
