First Little Black Bag

Little Black Bag is my first monthly subscription beauty box. There have been so many different monthly subscription boxes popping up everywhere, but I never found any of them alluring enough, until LBB.

LBB is on the pricey side of beauty boxes, $50 monthly or $60 one time only. They have tons of stuff and over 100 brands on the website, ranging from bags to accessories to home deco. When you sign up, you take a style quiz. Then every month you pick the first item for your bag, the stylist picks 2 - 3 more items based on your style quiz so the total retail worth of your bag is between $100 - $150~. The random picks are revealed after you have checked out. If you don't like what they put in your bag, you have 7 days to trade it with items in other user's open bags.

I signed up at the end of April, so I just received my first bag not long ago. The item I picked is Mint Jelly Satchel in turquoise by Danielle Nicole (retail $48).

Comes with a long detachable strap that I am not currently using. This will no doubt be my go-to bag for this summer. I love this color and the style, super cute. But I wish it has pockets or compartments inside because I am weird about having my keys next to my phone. I feel like my phone will get scratched up even though it has a protective cover on it.

My random picks were a big gold bangle (not my style at all, makes me question the style quiz) and a pair of turquoise stone earrings. I traded both of them and ended up with XELA aroma White Queen's Crown candle (retail $36) and  Roommates Cherry Blossom Tree wall decal (retail $21) because I didn't want any of the beauty/jewelry items.

Fragrance notes: geranium, jasmine, lavender, and rosewood. 14 oz jar

I have no clue what geranium smells like. But I know I like jasmine, lavender, and rosewood. The candle burns pretty well, gives a fresh, floral yet woody scent. My boyfriend likes it a lot.

I don't have a picture of the next item. My boyfriend took it to his place so I cant put it up in my room. I have the urge to open and use everything right away, and since we are moving in a couple of months, we should wait and put this up at our new place. Here is a picture from the website:

I just shipped my May LBB. I traded everything except one thing in my bag, again. This time I was very torn when it comes to trading because I received a lot of good trades and couldn't decide what to keep. I am looking forward to getting my items, hopefully I kept the right items.
