Inexpensive and Beautiful Wedding Invitations by 123print.com

I ordered my wedding invitations from 123print.com. I had never heard of the website before. I was looking for a website that sold great invitations at an affordable price. I didn't want to spend alot on invitations because I wanted to spend the money on other things. This website had Peacock invitations to match my theme. Here is what they look like:

Peacock Plume: Wedding Invitations



On this website you can customize the font, position and color of the text. After you are satisfied they will send you a free copy of the invitations so you can see exactly what it will look like. They have 2 paper options to choose from so I got a sample of both to pick which one I liked better. They also suggest RSVP cards, programs, and other things to match you invitations. I ended up ordering return address labels and RSVP cards to match. Here are the RSVP cards:

Peacock Plume: Wedding RSVP Cards


They are always having a sale going on which is great. I ordered 250 invitations and 250 RSVP and payed $236 for it all shipped which I think is am amazing deal. They came within 4 days and everything was packaged nicely. I just ordered my shower invitations from them as well and will order thank you cards soon. This website has a ton of things that range from stationary, to business products.
I definitely recommend checking them out!

February The Bride Box Unboxing and Review!

February The Bride Box Unboxing and Review!


***Don't forget to watch the video above and LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!***


This month's them was Love is in the air! Perfect them for the month of February! This is a monthly subscription and is $35 a month.

The first item I pulled out was a pair of drink cozies. One is hot pink and says Bride and the other is black and says Groom. Even though I don't usually use these I think they are so cute and I am glad we got 2! These can be bought HERE
Retail value: $16

The next product I got was from WildHeart Paper. It is a web based stationary and invitation shop. They sent a "Will you be my Bridesmaid" Card. This card has pastel gems printed around the border. I love the colors but I do wish they would have sent more than 1. Even though they don't know how many bridesmaids that I have it would have been nice to get 4-5. I feel like this would be a good number for most brides to give out to all or most of their party. Get 10% off a $50 purchase HERE with code BRIDEBOX.

The next item was a beauty item. It is called EYES by ToGoSpa. It is a 3 pack of hydrating under eye gel pads. they are supposed to moisturize the under eye area and are full of collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and E as well as other nutrients. I think its awesome that they send 3 instead of just 1. I would use one before an engagement shoot, one before my shower and one before my big day. I did try these out and they were soaked with product which is great but they did slide down my face while using them. I found myself having to push them back up every couple of minutes but they were really moisturizing. I didn't notice a difference but I only used one. 
Buy them HERE
Retail Value: $12.50

The  next product was a 6 pack of chocolate mints from adorableparty.com. They came in white paper with words written on the outside like love and your last name. These were really yummy! I think they would be great to put out at a shower or reception especially if you can personalize them!
Get 20% off your order HERE with code BBRIDE115.

The final products in the box are from Phases of Love. They were 4 paper cutouts of shapes like lips, a moustache, the word love and Be mine. These can be use as photo props or for engagement shoots which is what I might use mine for. Like I said in the video I think these are really cute but they look too home made for me. But if you are looking for DIY lookalikes without having to do it yourself then I recommend these. 
Buy them HERE
Retail Value: $12 

Full sized value of box $40+


I don't think the value was worth the $35 this month but I did enjoy the products. I think it would have been better to get more cards or more items in the box especially for the high price of $35.

January The Bride Box Unboxing and Review!

January The Bride Box Unboxing and Review!



**DON"T FORGET TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE TO THE VIDEO ABOVE!**

The first item in my box is a coupon to the website MissNowMrs.com. It is a name changing service where it has all the places in one spot where you need to fill things out to change your name. The coupon code is for 50% off the normal $29.95 service. I thought it would be more expensive even at full price it seems like a great website and a great deal so I will most likely be using this website to change my name.


Value: $15

The next item is a card with 4 ribbon hair bands on it. They range in colors from mint to pink and have pretty decorations. I really enjoy hair bands like this and was happy to get more. On the website they have a bunch of different packs with cute designs. You can get 15% off with code THEBRIDEBOX.


Value: $7.50

The next item is a pair of chandelier earrings from BTBJewlery.com. They are a kind of tarnished gold look and don't feel heavy. They are beautiful and very vintage glam looking and could be worn either at your wedding shower or any formal event. 


Value: $32

The next item is a cake topper from Sugar Bee Etching. It is a black acrylic cake topper that says love and the O is a ring. This is cute but I wish it was bigger. As a cake topper especially for one going on a wedding cake this is not big enough and wouldn't be a big enough statement.


Value: $15

The final item is a whiteboard that is for writing don't your To Do's for the wedding. I found out this can be found on The Bride Box Website. I actually really like this and like that it has magnets you can choose to attach or not. It also comes with a black dry erase marker that is an added bonus.


Value: $8

Total box value is about $77.50.

Overall I think this box can still be improved but I did enjoy everything in it. I think the value found can be improved as well but I think if a Bride asked for this as a gift or was given one as a gift she would enjoy it and look forward to it every month.

First Impression/ Review of Wet N Wild Coverall Foundation

First Impression/ Review of Wet N Wild Coverall Foundation




**Don't forget to LIKE and Subscribe above!**

I found this foundation in Rite Aid for $3.99. It claims to be long wearing, lightweight satin finish and medium to full coverage. I figured for the price I would try it out. I started with a primer by Tarte and then buffed this on with my flat top kabuki brush and it blended like a dream. I then added another coat over it. It layers well with itself and doesn't cake up or move around. It doesn't completely cover all my blemishes and redness but this can be fixed with a bit of cover up. I even used this as a concealer just where I needed it more and when used this way it worked great. It evened out my skin tone nicely and doesn't feel heavy. It feels lightweight and has a matte finish. It lasted me from 11 am to 11 pm and only wore off a bit on my nose because I was blowing it. I have oily skin and also didn't need to blot at all. I also set it with a powder and a setting spray like I do with all my foundations. 


The first picture below is me right out of bed no makeup or anything on.  You can see that I have red acne on my cheeks and a bit of uneven skin.



Next set of photos is right after layering 2 layers of the foundation. I have not added powder bronzer or concealer. You can still see a bit of my acne peeking through but my skin tone evened out.


The final set of photos is after I have applied my full face of makeup. The foundation works well with my powder and bronzer and I felt like it set quickly.




Overall I HIGHLY recommend this foundation and it is a GREAT drugstore foundation find!

October The Bride Box Unboxing and Review!

October The Bride Box Unboxing and Review!



***Don't forget to watch and LIKE the video above***

This is the October 2014 The Bride Box. It is a monthly subscription service for brides and is $35 a month. Like I mentioned in the video you can fill out a profile to get personalized boxes or get a surprise one.

This is the Honeymoon Edition and features 4 items.

The first is from Elizabeth Mott and it is a Deluxe sized sample of the It's So Big Mascara. I have gotten this from Ipsy in the past and am not a big fan of it. It is pretty good with length but I need volume and this doesn't really give any,

Next from Elizabeth Mott is a full sized pack of Lash Cards. Again I have tried these through Ipsy and I enjoy them. They are shields that you can put on your lowerlashes to catch eyeshadow fall out or behind your upper lasehes so you don't get mascara on your eyelids. I think these are perfect for the Bride who is doing her own makeup and doesn't want to mess anything up in the process.

The next item is a large Tote bag that Says Bride. Inside is also a matching travelsized bag. I think this is super cute and will definitely be taking it on my Honeymoon as my pool bag!

The final item is a a $50 off $175 giftcode from Sonar Travel. They are basically a website that will plan your Honeymoon for you. I will look into this but probably won't be using this. I like this idea but I don't think this should have counted as a full sized product.

Overall I was a bit disappointed in my first box. I think 4 items for $35 is a really bad deal. I think it could have had a few more products. I have seen other unboxings of past boxes and usually they are full of cute things so I am not sure what happened this month.

I do have a 6 month subscription so hopefully they get better.

Review of Walmart Wedding Planner for $20!

Review of Walmart Wedding Planner for $20!




Make sure you watch the above video for a more in depth review.

I got this at Walmart for no more then $20! It is found in the wedding isle and can only be bought in stores.

Like I mention in the video I was originally going to make my own to save money but this one is a great deal and has everything that a Bride would need!

I think it is important to stay organized to help ease stress, and make the wedding process smoother.

Pros:

It is organized very well. It has tons of tabs with labels to help you easily find what you are looking for.
The pages are set up in easy to read format and if it refers to another page it gives you the page number.
It has folder pockets in each section to help further organization. 
It has sections for questions you should ask people such as your DJ and photographer which I have personally found very helpful.
It lets you compare different sites and reception halls all on one sheet to help your decision making.

Cons:
The only one that I can think of is I wish the cover was prettier. 

I added my own pencil pouch at the front with some colored pens and stickers to help further my organization.

Overall this is a GREAT BUY and I HIGHLY recommend it to any bride no matter what her budget.
