Box Of Style // Box Review 2019

**For $15 off your fist box use code CHICKSANDSALSA15 or ANNUAL20 for $20 off your annual subscription**

I have shared before that I live in a pretty small town…that being said I have found a few fun work arounds to getting my hands on fun and trendy products.  The first one of course is Amazon, thank GOD for Amazon.  Another fun way to get some unexpected and exciting products is with subscriptions boxes.  We have featured boxes before like here and here.  Today we are super excited to pick apart the Box of Style curated by Rachel Zoe.  Where are my BRAVO fans at?? Rachel Zoe’s iconic style of simple clothes with statement jewelry was always a favorite.  Her attitude as well as style made The Rachel Zoe Project the hit that it was.

I have always been an accessories girl as you can see here and here.  A box of products picked by Rachel herself sounds like perfection and once you see what all came in this box, you will see why it is a great deal and a whole lot of fun to get OR give as a gift.  Let’s break down the value and then take a peek inside.

So lets get into what is in this seasons box!

Caudalie Radiance Serum

This product retails for $80 at Sephora. This serum is a highly concentrated, natural, oil-free serum that combats dark spots, evens skin tone, and boosts radiance—and has been proven to be 62 times more effective than vitamin C. But don’t take my word for it, take it from the 2000+ four star reviews they have on the site.

Jules Kae Vegan Leather Tote

This box came in this beautiful faux leather bag in my current favorite color BLUSH!  With Digital Chicks keeping me busy and a laptop and camera always in my bag, this one came just in time to help me get around in style.

Ettika Tassel Necklace – See Her Whole Collection Here

This is one of the BEST necklaces I have gotten of late.  Layered necklaces are all the rage and when you rock multiples you risk getting tangled up! This beauty attaches to one claps keeping the layers clean and perfect all day long.  I have already gotten so many compliments on this one, so if you are on the market check it out.  This one was made specifically for the Box of Style, but she has a similar style for sale for less than $50 here.

Shop Tarte Liquid Eyeliner Here

Tarte Sex Kitten Liquid Eyeliner

I’ve been having a Tarte moment lately as you can see here.  This liquid liner is not just cute, but it is also great! I tried out the tip on my hand and the lines were still on there the next morning! That is the kind of stay power I want out of  my eyeliner. Once you get your liner on, check out my video on getting your falsies on perfect every time (its magic!)

Eddie Borgo Soho Watch in Rose Gold

If you are like me I rarely buy a statement watch, but if I get my hands on one I am more than happy to rock it! This watch goes with my current blush aesthetic and gives my #OOTD that extra touch. I love it!

I hope you enjoyed this review.  This subscription is a little treat to myself this year and gives me a little something extra to look forward to every couple of months.

As always, thanks for stopping by Chicks And Salsa!

Cheers,

We Dress Up For Our Chicks! Keeping It Real In The New Year

There used to be a time when I would dress up to get the attention of a cute guy at the bar. As I got older I watched women find themselves through fashion, fitness, family, and friendship. So much so that I started dressing for me and also kind of for them! Let me explain…

I have an amazing group of women that are always keeping me on my toes.  If we go out to brunch, they put in the extra five minutes to throw on lipstick or some statement earrings.  When out for drinks after a long week they manage to throw on their new shoes and own the room when they walk in.  I think it is a combination of the surge of confidence that we get as we age mixed with some fashion elements, but either way – women are always ‘bringing it.’

This Satin Top Is $8 and available in so many colors!
Sonia’s go-to high waisted leather skirt is $35
My Kendra Scott double ring is a favorite, see it here!
These edgy Fendi earrings are stunning and linked here.

I went to the Georgia Aquarium recently and was so proud my fellow chicks! All the Moms were on point.  I am talking matching hats, bags, boots, you name it- they were rocking it.  The Dads- not so much.  I was so impressed at the commitment that women have to feeling great about themselves at all time.

So when I say that I do it for the ladies, what I mean is that I am NOT going to be left behind. They motivate me to get up and show up every single day.  After all, how can you put your best foot forward without confidence? I admit a lot of my confidence comes from feeling ‘put together (as you can see here)’ but is that a bad thing? 

This bodysuit is $8, I am wearing a size Medium and love it!
My Initial Necklace that I wear everyday is from Nordies and is linked here.
This knot sweater comes in so many colors and fits like a glove, for $17, its a steal!
With Leopard Print Sweaters taking over my feed, I had to find one just to get me through the season, well– here it is and for $26 you can get the look for less.

Staying on top of trends in a way that does not break the bank is a great way to stay motivated to bring it each and every day.  I had been dragging my feet on placing my first order with Shein.  I was nervous about the quality and construction of tops that cost $8-$10!  Turns out, this company is a hidden gem.  I can stay on top of all the latest trends at a fraction of the cost.  Check out some of the looks from my latest haul above.

Do you feel the same way I do? Do your friends help empower you by being on top of their game?

Your Chick,
