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.
