Glitty Guilty: April 2014

Man, it seems like it's been a slow month for boxes... But then again, it's only April 9th, it just seems a lot longer then it's actually been.

And it being April 9th... means it's only 20 days till my surgery :(

Glitter Guilty arrived in the mail yesterday. The box actually was packed a lot prettier than this, but my loving cat decided it would be a fun idea to knock the entire box to the floor before I could take a picture of it. 

Glitter Guilty is a monthly Indie nailpolish subscription box.  It's $16.00, with shipping. When you sign up, there's a survey asking what colors you like and dislike [in my case, I love "cool" colors and hate "warm" colors], and then every month, you receive two nailpolishes. Your "monthly me" is made especially for you, with your color preferences in mind. The "mini me" is a color sent to everyone. The box also comes with candy or some sort. 

This month all the colors were based on Frozen, which is an awesome movie. Even my fiance liked Frozen,when he finally agreed to see it with me. 

This month's junk food was chocolate from Belgium, which I have not eaten yet. I'm saving them from when I get back from the doctor today to numb the pain. When I was 17, I totally had a stalker, he was a 22 year old guy, and he went to Belgium for work, and mailed me two boxes of Belgium chocolates, they tasted amazing... Not that 17 year old me thought there was anything wrong with having a 22 year old stalker.

But that whole situation is a story within itself.

This month's "mini me" was entitled Frozen, it's a pale pastel blue color base with silver glitter sprinkled throughout the color. This is the color that everyone got.

my "monthly me" was Let It Go, and be glad you can't hear me burst out into song every single time I read the name of the polish. It's a turquoise base with turquoise glitter. I very much like it. It is a "me" color, one I would totally pick up for myself.

Actually both these colors are, and they're totally the colors I want for my wedding, once I actually get around to planning my wedding, which is now less then a year away. 

This is my second box from Glitter Guilty and I've liked both my boxes very much. So, if you like sparkly and glittery nailpolish that's personalized to you. I'd recommend checking them out.

I randomly received a Rolling Stone subscription for a year. I think it had to do with one of the concert tickets that I bought recently, it came with a years subscription to Rolling Stone.  I actually subscribed to them for about three years before I moved to Texas, possibly longer. I've always enjoyed the articles in the magazine. I'm not sure there are any bands I like that would still actually be featured in the magazine, but I'm excited about having something new to read every month.

I wish I had a picture of my bedroom back in New Jersey, it is literally covered with Rolling Stone and Spin and Kerrang and Revolver covers and pictures from various articles. It looked awesome.

I haven't gotten any shopping notices in my email that I am aware of, so I'm sure the other boxes will be here eventually :)

Glitter Guilty March 2014

Glitter Guilty is a monthly subscription box that's new to me this month. It's an indie nailpolish company that makes very glittery polish. How it works is, when you sign up, you fill out a profile, and tell what colors you really like and what colors you dislike. Every month you get a full-size "monthly me" nailpolish color that's made specifically to your own tastes, and a mini polish that goes to all subscribers. There's also a nice guilty pleasure, such as chocolate, in your box... because seriously, who doesn't want chocolate?

It costs about $16.00 a month.

It got to me quickly. It's only March 7th, so this months box only took about a week to get to me. 

So let's take a peek at the goodies:

I was completely surprised to find this in my mailbox today because in all the craziness that is happening, I had totally forgotten about it.

This is the first peek into the box. 

This is my monthly me. This the color specifically designed based on my likes, which are generally "cool colors" such as teals, purples, pinks, silver, etc. I tend to dislike very much "warm colors" like red, orange, and yellow, and that's what I specified on my user profile. I could also specify food allergies, so I was able to tell them that I was allergic to nuts, so they knew not to send me anything with nuts.

This is my monthly me color: Mardi Gras

 This is a closeup of the color... Isn't it pretty? It's a black base with purple, teal, pink, green, and gold glitter/sequins. I can't wait to try it out. It's very much a Lyssa color :) IT GLITTERS AND SPARKLES, MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS!!!

The mini color that all subscribers got is "feelin' lucky." It's a sparkly green color, and the bottle is a very generous size for a mini color :)

This was the bonus.... Chocolate Caramel Covered Pretzels, and I can't wait eat them. I'm so full from dinner, or else they'd be gone already.

So check out Glitter Guilty if you want personalized unique nailpolishes. I like them already. I can't wait to see what my April color is like :)
