Last month, Love With Food revealed that they were in the works of making a gluten-free box, and they asked me to help out by sharing it with all of you. While I don’t suffer from gluten-related allergies, many of my … Continue reading
Hi all! I am always looking for great healthy, unique snacks and so I was happy when Love With Food offered to send me a box to review! I had tried them once in June (see review here) and liked … Continue reading

First up is GlossyBox! I just posted my review on the July GlossyBox a day ago, and was pretty happy with it. Now that i see this spoiler for a Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush, I’m even more intrigued! Sign up for August’s GlossyBox by using this link so that you too can get this awesome product! Don’t forget JULYMAG for 15% off a sub!

Next up is Ipsy! I HAVE 4 SPOILERS FOR YOU, WOAH!
Okay so I’m not definite that you’re getting ALL 4 of these products, they may be chosen based on your Ipsy quiz preferences, but they all look good so far! This picture above shows two of the possible items! This silver tube is an Urban Decay Lipstick! Worth $22, woah! I’m not sure if they have different color preferences, but it looks like a bold red and a hot pink may be the options.
Additionally, there is a lip balm by Noya that is a kosher and natural balm for soothing your lips. So far I’ve seen flavor options like Classic, Cherry, Spearmint and Vanilla, but who knows what else they have up their sleeves (worth $4). I really hope everyone is getting both of these items, or else there will be some unhappy campers.
Now, we have face/body products by Michael Todd! While I can’t confirm what the products are exactly, these deluxe samples could be one of the following: Oat and Honey Cleanser, Pumpkin Mask, Jojoba Charcoal Facial Scrub (or other scrub), one of his many Moisturizers, or one of his few facial Serums. I’m trying to base it off the bottle color/shape/types! Personally, I have my fingers crossed for either a scrub, cleanser or mask! I’ve recieved a lot of serums and lotions lately, so it would be overkill.
Finally we have Pixi Beauty Lash Booster Mascara! I love mascara, so I’m pumped! I hope it comes in Blackest Black or Blackest Blue, and I can’t quite tell if it’s a full-size or deluxe sample.. hmm..

Love With Food August Spoiler!
This month I received my first ever Love With Food box! Love With Food has a great program, where you sign up for a month-to-month delivery of curated unique foodie items, and every meal you pay for, Love With Food donates another meal for those in need so organizations such as Feeding America Network and Share Our Strength – No Kid Hungry. Plus, you can earn points by leaving reviews and use your points to buy products for FREE.
So, here we go!
A view of the entire box, pre-tearing it apart to check everything out and taste test the snacks.
The theme: Summer Bash! Very cute- I was expecting some tropical and beachy-themed items…
Two organic hard candies in different flavors
A soyjoy bar in pineapple!
Organic Flavrz liquid drink mix for rehydration in flavor “revive”
Recipe Card for making a tropical drink!
PUR gum in pomegranate mint flavor… I was pleasantly surprised by how good it tasted.
Surf Sweets sour gummies in Fruity Bear shapes
Turbana Sweet Plantain Chips- Delicious and better for you than potato chips.
Do More Bars in Pineapple Coconut. This rice-krispie like treat was gluten-free so I gave it to a friend who said it was amazing and asked where she could get a box!
For some reason, I can’t figure out what happened to the photo I had of the dried seaweed by Seaweed Love or the mango-coconut ice pop, so I grabbed images off their websites… but these were also included in the box!
And… there was a $50 Gift Card to NakedWines.com, however you’re required to buy 6 bottles/spend at least $100, so I’m not too sure if I’ll be using that anytime soon..
So, what did you guys think of this box? I’m def. subscribing for another box… hope its as good, if not better!
So, somehow my entire post from yesterday unpublished itself and went back to basic draft form. Beyond confused, so here’s a re-post with a few edits…. What’s on my Mind: Coffee, coffee and more coffee. Can you guess who hasn’t … Continue reading
Happy Monday everyone! And by that, I mean I hope you stayed tough through that first day back in work/class after a never-long-enough weekend!
So, you’re probably confused as to what happened to my blog. Did Mackenzie fall off the face of the earth? Did she give up on it? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Right around the time I launched Stylish in Suburbia, I was applying to 38457595 jobs and finally landed one and threw all my time and energy into it. Now that I’ve gotten over much of the chaos of my new-found career, I’m devoting my time and effort to get back to doing what I love: blogging!
So, I am re-launching Stylish in Suburbia with a few new twists. I will still continue to post my rambles and insight about the day-to-day life of a working fashionista, the new clothing and beauty products I can’t keep my hands off, and a few photoshoots from time to time. However, I will also be adding something different and quirky: I’m going to review some of the amazing beauty and fitness boxes I’ve been receiving via mail. On a whim, I signed up for Ipsy about 6 months ago, and I’ve been head over heels for it! Out of all the bags I’ve received so far, I’ve managed to score some awesome products like St. Tropez Bronzing Cream, NYX loose mineral eyeshadow, and Lash Cards (perfect for not covering my eyelids in mascara!). These products are only few among the many I’ve received so far, and I don’t plan on cancelling anytime soon.
Instead, I’m going ALL OUT and signing up for a variety of different boxes, from BuluBox and Love With Food to Julep and Beauty Army. So, I hope you’ll join me for the journey as I continue to post my favorite outfits, styles, and trends to reviewing these surprise boxes, and even more under the sun! I don’t plan on leaving anything out, so if you have any requests, or questions feel free to comment or e-mail me. AND if you would like me to review a box, I would be more than willing! Who doesn’t love free stuff PLUS helping others make the right decisions about purchases.
xoxo,
Mackenzie
