FanMail Box : November 2015 - Wars Among the Stars!

Hey there geekonistas!

Has everyone gotten their Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopping done yet? I scored a lot of really awesome deals on indie makeup and some Christmas gifts, so I'm really excited! Plus I managed to snag one of the sooooper limited edition Baroness X Whovian boxes, so keep an eye out for that in the future!

But today we're here to talk about the FanMail box for November. FanMail is a monthly subscription box "by lady geeks, for lady geeks". It contains geeky/nerdy items and accessories and is usually mailed out at the end of each month. Subscriptions can be purchased either month to month ($21.99 per box) as a 3 month prepay ($63.00 up front, which works out to $21.00 per box), 6 month prepay ($120.00 up front, $20.00 per box) or a 12 month prepay ($228.00 up front, $19.00 per box). A larger tshirt size (2xl-4xl) costs an additional $2.00 per month. These are "true" plus sizes though, not the juniors plus sizes a lot of boxes will try to pass off as plus size.

They've gone to all purple stickers now, so this doesn't denote an extra special box. Just regular special.

Fandom of the Month Club : November 2015

Happy Thanksgiving, geekonistas!

If you celebrate Thanksgiving, or even if you don't, I hope you are spending today surrounded by loved ones, eating lots of delicious food and taking a moment to be grateful for the good things in your life. I'm grateful for you being here!

Today, I'd like to share with you a new-to-me subscription service, the Fandom of the Month Club! Fandom of the Month club is a monthly subscription box that delivers geeky themed jewelry and other accessories. The cost is $13.00 a month for a month-to-month subscription, $36.00 ($12.00 per box) if you pay for three months up front, and $66.00 ($11.00 per box) if you pay for six months up front. Shipping is extra and costs $3.50 per month within the U.S. and $9.80 per month internationally.

Kiss My Sass: Lip Addicts Anonymous November 2015

Hey there geekonistas!

So, Disneyland was actually kind of a bust, beauty wise. It seems that Disney has discontinued the "Beautifully Disney" line of makeup, so there wasn't much there for me to review. Fortunately, I still had an awesome time, especially checking out the "Season of the Force" Star Wars event that's currently going on in Tomorrowland! I did discover that Disney is now selling Her Universe (geeky clothing made for girls) in the parks, so that was a cool find.

But anyway, since I don't really have any Disney stuff to review, let's go ahead and check out this months Lip Addicts Anonymous from Kiss My Sass Cosmetics, centered around the theme of my favorite hot beverage, coffee!

Hello Waffle Cosmetics Visage: November 2015

Hey there geekonistas!

So if all goes well, when this post goes up I will be taking my long delayed 5-year anniversary trip to Disneyland!  I'm so excited! And of course I'll be checking out any and all makeup and beauty items while I'm there, maybe for a haul and special report? Fun! But that's for another time. Today my topic is this month's Visage subscription from Hello Waffle!

J-List Snack Subscription : October 2015

Hey there geekonistas!

So I realize that October was a pretty makeup heavy month, and while that is not a bad thing by any means, I thought I would take a break and try to branch out more this month. So, I thought now would be a good time to start reviewing something I've actually been receiving for a year or more now - the J-List Japanese Snack Subscription box!

Notoriously Morbid Tribute Trio No. 4: Down the Spiral

Hey there geekonistas!

So, when I was young and wild.... er... well, young anyway, the soundtrack to my misadventures was a strange and varied thing, but it always, ALWAYS included some kick-ass industrial, usually in the form of my introduction to the genre: Nine Inch Nails. Now that I have grown and changed and am no longer quite so angry at the world, NIN has slipped down my playlists somewhat, but I will always keep a special place on the record shelf of my heart for the music of Trent Reznor. And that brings me to the Limited Edition Tribute Trio recently released by Notoriously Morbid in collaboration with Tori, better known as Biohazardous Beauty on You Tube.

Fortune Cookie Soap 2015 Winter Soap Box : Welcome Santa!

Hey there geekonistas!

Everybody has a favorite Christmas movie. That one movie they have to watch over and over again every year in order to really feel like it's the Holiday season. For some people it's "It's a Wonderful Life", for some it's "Miracle on 34th Street", for some it's the Peanuts or Rankin/Bass specials. For me, it's "Elf". Yup, that movie about a 30-year old "elf" played by Will Ferrell, who travels to New York City in order to meet his real father. For some reason, it just speaks to that part of me that still gets unreasonably excited about the holiday season. "Santa!! Oh my god, Santa's coming!! I know him!! I know him!!!"

Fanmail Box : October 2015 - Yay for YA!

Hey there geekonistas!

Apologies for the late post this week, I picked up some extra hours and a nasty virus at work. Fun! Anyway, today I wanted to share with you the Fanmail box for October! The theme is "Yay for YA!" and it celebrates all the awesome YA literature that is out there. (As someone who works in the young people's portion of the library, I approve heartily!)

I got a purple sticker!!! Something extra special is inside! Read 'til the end to find out what it is!
