The List by I-ELLA is billed as “the ultimate gift bag”. Every bag is a reflection of your own personal style and is selected just for you by the stylists at I-ELLA. You fill out a style profile, list your favorite designers, colors, must have items, etc. and they do the rest. You can expect everything from designer brands to emerging trends in your I-ELLA gift bag.
I was shocked, impressed and excited by the huge size of the I-ELLA box! I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I was certainly not expecting it to be so big. I could not wait to tear into it!
How fun does this look to tear into? Seriously it was like Christmas morning all over again. The List has three subscription options: “Starter Bag” $59/month, “Soho Bag” $129/month (this is the one I received) and “St. Barth’s Bag” $389/month. Yeah it’s more expensive than the other subscription boxes out there, but wait till you see all the goodies I received!
The List by I-ELLA comes with a letter which includes details on all the products included, prices and a brief description of all of the items, but I didn’t take a picture of it because I didn’t think you’d be able to see it very well. But you’ll have to believe me when I tell you I liked all the information it provided.
Allright, allright, here’s what was inside.
~Cynthia Steffe Maya Maxi Dress ($178): This was my BIG piece and I loved it! It’s from Cynthia Steffe and is even better in person than in my pictures. I think I wrote that my must have fashion items were sunglasses and maxi dresses and they totally delivered! This dress is this season and I will totally wear it!
~Vanessa Mooney Mixed Metal Tear Drop Earrings ($42): At first I wasn’t too sure about these earrings, but the more I look at them, the more I like them. They are also from the Spring 2013 line, which I was happy to see because I know that some other boxes include left over things from previous seasons and who wants that? Also, this earrings came at kind of the perfect time because L and I have been talking about “metal” all the time. Yeah, I used the earrings to explain the difference types of metal. You can make anything into a lesson ;).
~Herban Essentials Peppermint Towelette ($7.50): I cannot wait to try these. Sure you could just use them as a hand wipe (they are naturally antibacterial), but you can also use the peppermint ones to “press on pulse points and breathe in aroma to relieve motion sickness”, “tuck in car air conditioner vents to clean air and pep up the driver” and more. Oh and they even make wipes for dogs! I may actually get some.
~S.W. Basics of Brooklyn Cleanser ($24): I have never heard of this line before (which means pretty much nothing), but I am quickly falling in love. All of their products are made with just 3 – 5 ingredients, are affordable and eco-chic.
~Olivella Eye Cream ($21.95): Olivella is an Italian company and they use olive oil in all of their products. I really should check more into this line because olive oil is known for it’s anti-aging properties and I am getting old, but would prefer not to look it. Cannot wait to try this!
~Mt. Sapola Natural Soap – Charcoal ($8): Charcoal soap? Well I never! The charcoal in this soap “scrubs off dead skin cells and gets rid of unpleasant odors”. I’m not big on bar soap, but even I am interested in try this out! And in case you are wondering, it does NOT smell like charcoal. It’s a cool, refreshing mint scent!
All totaled, my The List by I-ELLA Soho Gift Bag had a value of $281.45. Umm, how insane is that? Considering that the bag was only $129 and I love everything in it, yeah, that’s a pretty great deal!
