Daebak Box Winter 2019

My Winter Daebak Box just arrived today!  This is a fun Korean lifestyle subscription box filled with a variety of items that embodies everything trending in Korean culture.  I'm on the seasonal plan, which is $54.99 four times a year.  I should switch to the annual plan because those boxes ship first.  I was charged for this box on November 27th and am just now receiving it.  


A first peek into the box!  As a Korean adoptee living in Kentucky, I'm curious about everything Korean.  My daughter is a huge K-pop fan and we basically share this box.


The Daebak magazine describes everything in the box and also has a few interesting articles about places, music, food, and more.  After reading the magazine, I realized I didn't get the EXO edition face mask.  Another reason to get an annual membership.


Bon Bon Neck Pillow ~ This is a super soft next pillow from the Brunch Brother winter collection by Romane.  I think it's a bear.  My daughter is enjoying this as a neck rest while she watches Youtube.


Kakao Friends Square Pouch ~ $9.99 We received the Ryan pouch and it's also very soft.  I think Olivia will either use this for her makeup or her colored pens.  There's a mesh pocket inside that helps keep items secure.


Healing Tea Garden Cleansing Water ~ $10.99 I'm a big fan of micellar cleansing water and hope this formula is similar.  This product removes makeup and cleanses the face.  The tea ingredient helps brighten and clarifies the skin.


BTS World Stickers - Let's Do This ~ $6.99 This is a sticker sheet of the BTS members and cute pop icons.  I think we received this in place of the EXO edition face mask.  My daughter LOVES BTS and this was the perfect replacement!


My Color My Book Diary ~ Subscribers received this diary in various colors.  Ours was lavender.  It came with a sheet of food-themed stickers on the back.  The layout is more like a planner than a diary.


Shining Gel Stick ~ $4.46 My daughter and I are fighting over these!  We got the Shining Summer color set of pink, yellow, and blue.  These gel markers are so cool and can also double as highlighters.  Wish I could get more of these.

50 Stickers Ver. 3 ~ $10 Inside this pack are 50 quirky fun stickers from OohLala.  They have a matte finish and come in various shapes and sizes.  They'd look great on water bottles, notebooks, and computers!



Kakao Friends 2020 Small Table Calendar ~ This is a cute desk calendar that I can't really find anywhere online.  Compared to other Kakao Friends calendars, this one is not as colorful, but it's still very functional.



S. Care Plus Baobab Collagen Cream ~ $6 I claimed this one!  I've always like collagen cream and am eager to try it out.  Due to the low price, I'm not sure of the quality.  However, I really liked the Aloe Ice in the fall box.  

All prices listed were approximations based on online shops.  Some of the items were difficult to find online.  I'm not sure if some of these are created specifically for Daebak.  Overall, I think this is a fun box with items I can use or things my daughter will use.

FabFitFun Style Box November 2017

FabFitFun is now offering a style box that is along the same lines as Stitch Fix.  I paid a $20 styling fee which was deducted from my clothing order.  I received 5 apparel items and no accessories or shoes.  Two of the items were from Naked Zebra, which is a company I really like.



This letter explains the entire process of the FabFitFun Style Box.


 I really liked the price point on all of these items.  I wish they had an option to exchange for a different size, then I would have kept everything!


This cardigan was my favorite piece.  I purchased this and absolutely love it!  It's a faux suede draped cardigan from Skies Are Blue.  The contrast of the materials and cut really made this a stand out for me.

I didn't think I was going to like this Naked Zebra dress, but it looks great on!  The color was the only thing that kept me from getting it.

These jeans are awesome, but I needed a size up.  If I could have exchanged these, I would have bought everything in the box.  The brand is Genetic Los Angeles.

I'm in love with this print!  The shirt was too short in the torso, and made the peplum flare look funny.  It's a Collective Concepts blouse.

My last piece was a keyhole blouse from Naked Zebra.  It looked very nice on and would go great under a blazer!

I'm looking forward to getting a new box soon!   I think the FFF Style Box is in a beta test.  Hopefully, customers will be able to send request notes to stylists and will be able to exchange sizes.

Popsugar Must Have Mini Review June 2016

Popsugar's newest venture is the Must Have Mini box.  It's not really a smaller version of the Must Have box because the Mini actually has different items.  I consider it more of an extension to the Must Have box because there are so many wonderful women's lifestyle products to highlight.
