My Fashion Crate January 2019 Review
This information card was included. On the front is information about items included in both the Essentials box and the Premium box, and on the reverse is information about the items included in the Premium box only.
New Year New You "Live Your Dream" Top – Listed Value $35
(Please note there is another picture of me wearing this tee below).
Who doesn't love a good tee? I don't usually wear tees with slogans on them, but this is a nice one for "resolution-ing", and it's a soft 100% cotton. It's a little snug, as are most items from My Fashion Crate, but the good thing about 100% cotton tees is that they usually take on your shape perfectly after a trip or two through the wash. If you are old enough to remember all the "shrink to fit" marketing of jeans in the '80s and '90s, it's worth mentioning that cotton goes the other direction, too. I feel like $35 is more than I would pay for a tee, but it's a great inclusion in a subscription box.
Cute Favorite Socks - Listed Value $15
Kitties! These socks are a super soft acrylic knit, and they are so cozy for all this cold weather we are having! I love them! I can never have too many warm socks in the winter. They might indeed become my favorite socks!
Skone Cosmetics Brow Wand in Chocolate – Retail Value $18.50
Sorry about the extreme close-up on the swatch! Haha. Well, at least now you know exactly what it looks like on. My Mom is one of those women from the '60s who tweezed her brows into non-existence, so I have always had thick brows, and I like them that way. If it's a really, really special occasion I will get them professionally done, but otherwise, I just leave them natural. The point of all this is that I don't use brow pencils, so I don't have a lot of input on this particular item. Maybe I should pass this along to my Mom...
Lauren B. Beauty Nail Polish in Vintage on Vine - Retail Value $18
What a nice color for winter! I love all things purple, and this shade is a nice muted lilac. It also has great coverage with just one coat, and it's chipping resistance is pretty good. It's also 7-free, vegan, and cruelty-free, so I can feel good about wearing it, too.
Busy Beauty Showerless Shampoo – Retail Value $10
Cute bottle! For a dry shampoo at this price point, this stuff works pretty well. It has a nice scent and doesn't turn my hair (more) gray. It also leaves my scalp feeling refreshed, so it's a win all the way around.
The following items are in the Plus Size Premium Box only:
Soft Open Knit Cardigan - Listed Value $50
This cardigan is awesome! It's lightweight, which makes it perfect for layering, and it's a cotton blend knit. But without a doubt, the best thing about it is that it fits! I hate to say it, but almost everything from My Fashion Crate Plus runs small, unfortunately. So if you are subscribing, I would recommend sizing up right off the bat. You might even need to size up... yikes... twice. Just remember, it's only a number. In any case, I also love the color of this cardigan, and the draping is very flattering. I feel like I will get loads of use out of this!
Mauve Maria Crossbody Purse - Retail Value $48
I have to admit that I do a little dance every time I get a purse in a subscription box, and this one is so cute! I love the color! It's about 8" x 5" with two zipper pockets and an interior slit pocket. The wrist strap is 6" (12" around) and the crossbody strap is 26". It is the perfect size for the phone-keys-wallet triad, with a little extra room for sunglasses and lipstick. This is a great purse for running around town doing errands. I love it!
Verdict: I loved my package from My Fashion Crate this month! The sizing issues were minimal this month, and I love the cardigan and purse! I also really liked the nail polish and socks. I feel like you get a lot with this subscription! The total value of the items is $194.50 this month, so the value is incredible!
