For example, you will get 35 diapers in a size 1 pack, but you will only get 27 diapers in a size 3 pack.

How much is the Diapers and Wipes bundle?

This bundle will cost you $79.95 per month.

Now let’s get in to the Diapers and Wipes bundle trial box review.

This box is what I received in the mail. I liked that it was not a plain brown box, but it was too big for the items inside. I would have been happy with a smaller box. This trial box came with 5 diapers and 10 wipes.

The designs of these diapers were super cute. I received a breakfast themed diaper, two panda diapers, one diaper with a geometric design, and a diaper with a giraffe design. These diapers fit my son very well, but I do not believe they absorbed and held very much. We put one of these diapers on my son before he went to sleep. When he woke up the next morning, he was soaked.

Overall Thoughts

I loved the design of these diapers, but I would not sign up for the monthly bundle. It is very expensive, and I don’t believe the diapers were that great of quality. If I am paying that much money, the diapers should be able to hold a lot.

I am very picky about my clothes. Will I be able to return the things I don’t like?

I am also very picky about clothes. It is very hard for me to find clothes that fit right, and I also dress very modestly (no low cut tops or skirts/dresses above the knee), which also makes it a challenge. When you sign up for Nadine West, you fill out a survey where you will give them your sizes and style preferences. If you still receive items you don’t like or need, you will be able to return without it costing you anything.

How do I return the items I don’t want?

When you receive your package, there will be a shipping label included. You will whatever items you don’t want back in to the pink package they came in and put the new label on top of the old. All you need to do now is take the package to your local post office.

Coupon Code

Use the code NADINE when you check out and the $9.78 charge will be waived for the first month.

Tips?

A person’s style evolves and changes over time, so don’t forget to update your style preference every once and while to make sure you only get things you will like. Also, review the items you received, so Nadine West can better understand your style.

Tips?

I love to read all sorts of different things, so my tip would be to change your theme every once and while. This way your personal library won’t be filled with just one type of book. Also, if you aren’t like me and don’t reread books consider donating your books to a library after you are finished with them. My local library always appreciates donations.

Bullymake-August 2019 Review

What is Bullymake?

Bullymake is a subscription box for dogs that are considered “power chewers”. These are the dogs that will chew up and destroy every toy that you give them. Their boxes include 2-3 toys and 3-4 treats. You also have the option to choose a toys only box

How much is Bullymake?

Bullymake is $39 per month, but you can also do a 3 month, 6 month, and 12 month subscription. The 12 month subscription is $31 per month.

Now let’s get in to the August 2019 review.

I bought this box for this little cutie. I have tried every kind of toy for my beagle, Jolene. If I get her a stuffed toy, it is destroyed in 5 minutes, and Jolene is eating the stuffing from it. Also, a shout out to Hannah for Jolene’s cute collar. Click here to check out Hannah’s amazing collars.

I really like Bullymake’s packaging. I like it when your subscription box comes in unique packaging instead of just a plain brown box. This gets me even more excited for what may be inside.

The theme of the box for August is back to school. I went with the toys only box, because Jolene has tons of treats right now and doesn’t need anymore. If I got treats with her box, they would probably just go to waste.

Pencil by Bullymake, Retail Value: $18

The first item I received in this box was the pencil by Bullymake. This is a nylon chew that is shaped as a pencil, and it also tastes like peppermint. Jolene loved this toy. As soon as I gave it to her, she ran off with it. Jolene would run away from me when I came close, because she was so scared I would take it away. I guess she figured if she loved it this much than she probably shouldn’t have it.

The Fish by Bullymake, Retail Value: $18

The second toy in the box was the fish by Bullymake. This nylon toy has a lot of different textures on it and smells like candy. Jolene had a little trouble with this one. When it was faced certain directions, it was a little big for her mouth, so she dropped it a lot. I gave her these toys at night, so my husband was putting our son to sleep. When this toy lands on the wood floors, it is loud, so my husband was not very happy with me.

Ruler by Bullmake, Retail Value: $18?

The next toy in the box was the ruler by Bullymake. This is another nylon chew that Jolene really enjoyed. This was a toy that she could easily hold and chew on. I could not find this toy on the Bullmake shop website, so I am guessing at the retail value. All of Bullymake’s toys are in the $14-$18 range.

Globe by Bullymake, Retail Value: $18

The last toy I received was the globe by Bullymake. This is a rubber ball that you can hide treats inside. This toy did not work very well for Jolene. She could not get the treats I put in the toy out of it, but this may be because I didn’t put small enough treats in it. Jolene did enjoy pushing this ball around the living room.

Is it worth the price?

The total retail value of this box is $72, and that is with me estimating that the ruler has a retail value of $18. I paid $23 for this box, so I definitely got more than what I paid for.

Overall thoughts

Jolene loved this box, so I definitely think it was worth it. Also, she hasn’t destroyed any of the toys, and that is a first for her. I definitely think you should try out the Bullymake box if you have a dog who loves to chew and destroy.

Ipsy-August 2019 Glam Bag Review

What is Ipsy?

Ipsy is a beauty subscription that will send you a monthly “glam bag” with makeup, skincare, hair care, and beauty products.

How much is Ipsy?

There are three different sizes. This particular review is for Ipsy’s smallest subscription, the Glam Bag, which is $12 a month.

Now let’s get into the August 2019 Glam Bag review.

Whenever I see this pink package in the mail, I get so excited, because I know I am about to get some awesome beauty treats.

This month’s theme is “Bare Yourself”. It’s products are designed to help you love you for who you are.

I love the makeup bags that Ipsy sends their products in. I save all of mine, which means I have about twenty in my bathroom cupboard. These bags are so useful for travel and just basic storage. This month’s bag is a beautiful emerald green and has a raised geometric pattern. I will definitely be adding this one to my collection.

Confidence in a Gel Lotion Moisturizer by It Cosmetics

This gel moisturizer is so light and goes on very smooth. I usually hate moisturizers and lotions, but I actually like this one, because it is so light. You can hardly tell that it is there.

Felt Tip Eyeliner Pencil in Black by Jonteblu

I always use liquid liner. I just feel like it goes on easier and darker than other types. This product did not disappoint. It goes on nice and easy, and it stays on for a long time. It took a lot of effort for me to get it off.

All Day Lip Creme in Beverly Blvd by Adesse

The only shades of lipstick I like are pinks and reds, so this was right up my alley. It is a deep rosy color that looks great with my skin tone. Another thing I like about it is that it goes on smoothly.

Nail Polish in Gaia by Cuccio Colour

I love this color! I am obsessed! It also dries very quickly. This is definitely a perk for me, because with a new baby in the house, I don’t have a lot of free time.

Satin Dream Leave-in Cream by Eva NYC

This is the only product I wasn’t really excited about. Hair care products are not my favorite. I am a mom of a newborn, so I don’t really have a lot of time doing my hair. You will almost always see me with my hair in a ponytail or a bun.

Overall Thoughts

I was really pleased with this bag, and I cannot wait for my September 2019 Glam Bag. All the products were home runs for me except the Satin Dream Leave-in Cream by Eva NYC.

Will my bag be customized?

Yes, your bag will be customized. There are two different things Ipsy will look at when decided what products will go in your bag. The first thing will be your beauty quiz. This quiz will be filled out when you sign up for your subscription. The next thing they will look at will be your product reviews. After you receive your glam bag each month, you will have an option to review the products you received when you log into your Ipsy account. These reviews help Ipsy make sure that each bag contains only products that you will enjoy.

What will I be asked in the beauty quiz?

Ipsy uses the beauty quiz to help them decide on what products to include in your beauty quiz. They will ask you about your appearance. What is your skin tone? What is your hair color? What is your eye color? They will also ask you how comfortable are you with makeup. Did you rarely wear makeup, or do you always go out with a full face of makeup? They will also ask you what products you would prefer to receive, the shades of makeup you like, the brands you like, and the fragrances you like.

Will I get to choose any of the products I will receive in my bag?

Will I be able to see what is included in my bag before I get it?

Yes, you will. Ipsy will send you an email on the second of the month that will include a link to view your products.

Can I add products to my bag?

After Ipsy sends out your spoiler alert, you will have the option of purchasing additional products for your bag. You choose either deluxe sample sized products for $3 a piece or full sized products for $12 a piece. You will only be able to purchase up to 5. Also, Ipsy only has limited quantities of these add-ons, so if you know that you would definitely be interested in purchasing more products, then I suggest that as soon as you receive your spoiler email, log on to your account and select your add-ons.

Is there any way I can receive free items?

Yes, you can redeem free items by using points. You can earn points by doing the following things: referring people to Ipsy, following the Ipsy creators on Twitter and YouTube, reviewing the products in your bag, and reviewing everything in your bag. Also, these points will expire. They only last for 12 months, so make sure you use them before you lose them.

Tips?

Make sure to remember to review your products. If you didn’t like what you received in your bag, tell Ipsy that, because if you don’t, you probably won’t like what you receive in your next one either.

Disney Movie Club

What is Disney Movie Club?

Disney Movie Club is a service that allows you to buy 4 Disney movies for $1 under the condition that you buy five “featured titles” within the next 2 years. If you click my refer a friend link at the bottom of this post, you will be able to get 5 movies for $1 instead of the usual 4 for $1.

What movies can I choose from with the $1 offer?

The selection for the $1 movies is very good. The choices include not only Disney animated features, but Muppets, Marvel, Disney live-action, and Disney Channel original movies are included as well. The options to pick from also include recently released movies. When I looked today, the new live action Dumbo and Mary Poppins Returns were choices.

What about shipping?

Another plus is that shipping and handling is included with the $1 movie offer. Free shipping and handling does not apply, however, when you purchase your “featured titles”.

What is a “featured title”?

A “featured title” is a Disney movie that has recently be released or rereleased on DVD or Blu-ray. For example, my featured title this month was a bundle with the new live-action Aladdin and the classic animated Aladdin.

What happens if I do not want the “featured title”?

You don’t have to purchase every “featured title”, because you only have to buy five in two years. There are two different ways that you can decline your “featured title”. Every month you will receive a pamphlet in the mail and included with it will be a card that you can mail back saying you do not want the “featured title”. The other option is to log in to your Disney Movie Club account. At the top of the home page there will banner that will have a picture of the “featured title” with a respond now button below it. Click that button and scroll down to select the decline offer option.

What if I forget to decline or accept the “featured title”?

You will automatically be sent the “featured title”. This is the only thing I dislike about this service, because this has happened to me a few times, but it is entirely my fault for doing this. If you are more on top of things than me, then you should have no problem remembering to decline your offers.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, you can cancel your subscription, but if you have not purchased all of your required “featured titles”, you will have to pay $19.95 for each one you haven’t purchased.

What happens after I purchase all of my “featured titles”?

You will now be able to buy movies at a reduced price at Disney Movie Club. You will, however, still have to remember to accept or decline your “featured titles”. In my opinion, I would always decline them after you finish your commitment. You can find the same movies cheaper on Disney Movie Club without them being a featured title.

What kind of movies can I purchase on Disney movie club?

You can purchase just about any movie you can imagine. Not only can you purchase Disney animated and live-action movies, but you can also purchase Marvel, Star Wars, seasons of TV series, and some popular live-action movies. I have browsed before and found Pretty Woman, Sweet Home Alabama, and Good Morning, Vietnam.

Tips?

One thing I would definitely do, if you are going to sign up for Disney Movie Club, is also enroll in Disney Movie Rewards. I don’t know if you have noticed, but about every Disney movie you buy includes an insert with an unique code on it. If you type these into Disney Movie Rewards, you will earn points which can be used to claim some cool rewards.

To enroll in Disney Movie Club, please click here to sign up. This is my refer a friend link, and you will be able to get 5 movies for $1 instead of 4.
