It’s been another busy (and fun) mail day here which included the arrival of my My Subscription Addiction Quarterly Box (#MSA02)!
If you aren’t familiar, Quarterly is a new way to connect with the people you follow and find interesting. Quarterly Co. offers subscription boxes (which are shipped on a quarterly basis) from well known curators which are filled with things they love. This box is the My Subscription Addition box which was curated by Liz Cadman, who is the author of the popular subscription box blog called “My Subscription Addiction“. I have been reading her blog for years and when this box was announced I knew I had to sign up for it!
Quarterly typically ships via FedEx Smart Post, however, this box shipped via FedEx. They had promised delivery by Christmas so they used a quicker shipping method which is awesome.
I caved (it didn’t take much) and peeked at full spoilers on Instagram yesterday. I wasn’t sure how many (if any) variations there were though, so opening it was still a surprise.
The My Subscription Addiction #MSA02 Quarterly Co. box included everything you need for a cozy day at home, a little holiday sparkle and one of Liz’s favorite skincare items. The information card / letter tells you a bit about all of the products along with why the curator selected them for the box. With some of the celebrity curated boxes, it’s hard to tell if the celebs really participated, but with the Quarterly Co. boxes, the letters are so personalized that I never wonder that. Here is what the box included:
~Faribault Woolen Mill Co. Recycled Wool Throw in Red Whip Stitching ($65): I love the color of this blanker and will get a ton of use out of this during the winter – once I soften it up a bit! Right now it’s a little, umm, crisp, but the letter says it gets softer every time you wash it. It’s huge and will be perfect for lazy days on the couch!
~Fuzzy Slipper Socks ($9): I keep the house COLD in the winter, so fuzzy socks are a must have! There were three variations on color on this one according to the letter, but I love the black I received.
~Next Issue Exclusive Offer ($14.99): Next issue is a an App for your iPad, Windows 8 PCs and Tablets and Android devices) and allows you to read over 140 digital magazines every month. Just for MSA subscribers they are offering the first month free ($14.99 value) and the next two months at 50% off. I am hoping this will work on my iPhone because my kids have taken over both iPads that use to be mine ;).
~Bauble Bar Ice Circle Pendant ($32): I just mentioned the other day how I like getting smaller pieces of jewelry because we don’t get a ton of them. This one is great and like the card says, is sparkly, yet subtle!
~Au Naturale Creme Eye Shadow (Addiction & White Quartz) ($40): “Addiction” is an exclusive color for MSA subscribers! It’s an antique gold shade and really is like no other color I own. Au Naturale’s makeup is organic, non-toxic, gluten-free, vegan, non-nano and Made in the USA!
~Yes to Carrots Fragrance Free Intense Hudration Night Cream ($12.99): I have never used any of the “Yes To” creams, but I do like their facial wipes and their shampoos a lot. According to the card this works great for dry skin, but doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy at all.
All totaled I came up with a value of $173.98 for the My Subscription Addiction #MSA02 Quarterly Co. box! That is a great value for the $50 price tag and I am very happy! I feel like Liz knows what we are all tired of getting in subscription boxes and works to include new, fresh items, but also includes products she actually uses which is great!
Did you get the My Subscription Addiction Quarterly Co box? What variations did you get and what did you think? If you are interested in subscribing (the next box ships in March 2015) you can click here to get signed up. One of the best things about Quarterly is that they will not bill you until it shipped, so you don’t have to pay for something two months before it ships!
