Packaging
The box came shipped in a padded envelope
The Box
The box was a brown cardboard box with a hot pink ribbon.
This is supposed to reduce wrinkles and increase the moisture in your skin. Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally concurring component of connective tissue. This promises to make dramatic improvements in overall skin quality. I am excited to see if this really works. Who wouldn't want younger, better looking skin?
The Whole Box
Luna for you also sends a paper with all the contents of your box. For November, you can give a friend the code NOVEMBERFRIEND, and get an extra item in your next bag.
Final Thought: The total value for this box $15.74. All the beauty products were nice and fun. I think this would be a great beauty subscription for a teen girl or young woman. Luna for You sends 5-6 beauty products each month for only $9.99 a month. Click HERE to sign up for Luna for You.
I love getting Taste Trunk. I received the sweet trunk for September and October, but decided to switch back to the BBQ trunk this month. Every month, you get 5-10 food items Taste Trunk is $29.00 a month but you can save 25% on your 1st trunk by using Boxmom25 in the promo code field and putting “Erin Hamm” in the special instructions area. Taste Trunk has four different trunks: Healthy, Sweet, Gourmet and BBQ.
The Box
Taste Trunk ships in a priority mail box (Taste Trunk does charge shipping now).
The packaging
Taste Trunk packages their boxes very well. The inside of the lid always has a picture with an embossed seal. The items in the box are wrapped up and wrapped in black tissue paper. The cards are wrapped in a pretty paper. Everything is also wrapped in burgundy ribbon.
First Look
Everything was wrapped in bubble wrap and it arrived safely.
This has a thick white texture and is made with garlic, olive oil, bell pepper and and spices. Taste Trunk included a recipe for Garlic Marinated Chicken Cutlets with Grilled Potatoes. This recipe sounds so good and I can't wait to try it.
This gourmet mustard has the sweetness of brown sugar and the nuttiness of pecans. Incredible on ham or turkey sandwiches. Mix with brown sugar and Bourbon for a divine ham glaze. For a scrumptious and quick appetizer spread on Brie and bake until warm and bubbly. Taste Trunk included a recipe for Roasted Turkey and Brie Sandwich along with Bourbon glaze for Chicken, Ham, Pork Loin, Pork Chops.
This is super easy to use. You brush your meat with olive oil and brush on the spice blend. Taste Trunk also included a recipe for Artichoke Dip. I will probably use this on chicken.
Made for pork, this BBQ sauce features peaches picked fresh at the height of summer, brown sugar, and a mild ancho chile pepper.
It’s complemented by a Razz Wheat Ale from Jackie O’s Pub & Brewery right here in Athens, Ohio. This is the one product my family has tried from this month's box. I grilled some chicken and made a glaze with this bbq sauce. The chicken was very tasty and everyone ate it with no complaints. Taste Trunk included a recipe for Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches and I am excited to try it.
Teriyaki with a new twist. Fresh and all natural with a zip of heat. Chunky Pineapple, Fresh Ginger, and a bit of Chili Pepper. Great with chicken, beef, rice or on it’s own as a dip. Open a bottle and let the party begin!
Taste Trunk included a recipe for Grilled Chicken with Pineapple. This recipe also sounds good, and I am going to try it.
The Whole Box
Final Thought. The total value for this box was $26.18. The value was a little lower than the $29.00 cost, but the additional recipes and cards make the box worth it. I couldn't go to my local grocery store and find these items. I loved JB's BBQ Sauce. I love find unique and tasty items for dinner time.

First Look
I loved all the colors and how pretty the box looked. Presentation is important. Georgia Crafted puts their information cards on the inside lid of the box.
These taste like tiny cheddar/onion biscuits. They were really tasty. They reminded be of some Cheddar/Garlic biscuits that I have gotten in restaurants. This won the 2012 Flavor of Georgia competition for “Best Snack of Georgia”.
These white speckled grits, are otherwise known as “Georgia Ice Cream”. You can't go to Georgia without eating grits, so it is fitting that Georgia Crafted sent some. My 4 year old loves grits, so these will become a new breakfast staple.
This is an all natural seasoning that includes: Paprika, Garlic Powder, Rosemary, Thyme and more. This smells great, and I can't wait to use it for dinner.
I wanted to use these in some hot coco, but I couldn't resist a taste, and ate them both out of the package. These are made with all natural ingredients and don't have any preservatives.
These were a huge hit with my husband. He both brownies and loved them. I am not a big pumpkin fan, but even I thought they were pretty good.

Ipsy is one of my fun subscriptions. Ipsy sends out a Glam Bag full of full size and sample beauty products, for $10.00 a month. You fill out a survey about your makeup preferences and then Ipsy sends a bag geared to your preferences. Once you get your bag, you can review your items online, and tell Ipsy what you thing. I love the reusable bags, because they are always so cute and functional.
The Bag
I say this every time, but I love the Ipsy envelopes.
This month's theme is “Glam is Up”
You can take a picture of your bag this month and share it on Instagram or Facebook, to try to win a 1 year Glam Bag subscription
Em Flyer
Em is giving 30% percent off to Ipsy subscribers on the emconsmetics.com/ipsy by using the code ipsy30
I always wear black eyeliner, but I will wear this. This is fun silver color. I am not brave enough to rock some wild eyeliners, so the silver is perfect.
This is part of the new line Em, by Michelle Phan. This mascara has a scoop brush that lifts and curls lashes, as it lengthens. This is smudge proof and smear proof, that lengthens without clumping. Honestly, I was a bit disappointing that I received mascara. I would rather have eye shadow, lip gloss or blush. It is nice mascara, just not exciting.
This is described as “Pure, all-premium nail lacquer in gunmetal gray spiked with shimmer.” I love this polish and it will be great on a night on the town.
This is a funky color and I love playing with makeup. I look forward to using this.
The Whole Bag
The make up bag this month was a glamorous gold bag. It is very sparkly and could even be used as an evening bag.
Final Thought: The total value of this bag was $79.00! Okay, I was a bit blown away by the value. Ipsy is only $10.00 a month. Even taking out the bronzer, my bag still had an amazing value. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with Ipsy. It's $10.00 a month, and you get a glam bag filled with sample and mostly full size make up items. You fill out a personalized quiz, and Ipsy sends make up based on that quiz. Once you get your items, you can review the items and say what you thought. If you want to sign up for Ipsy, click HERE.
