October Theme – Honoring Our Favorite Shining Star
This month we honor a gentleman with over 60 years in filmmaking and acting. He is most recognized for his villainous and anti-heroic acting roles. His long career in the industry started in the 1960s, but first behind the camera. He began writing and directing and eventually got his big break in the film Easy Rider. From there, he went on to receive 12 Academy Award nominations…When you look through your box this month you will come across one item heavily inspired by our honoree.
Keep reading to find out who this month’s honoree is!

Mr. Lapel Tie – $24
Mr. Lapel is a luxury men’s accessories brand based in England. It sells a range of silk lapel pins and buttonholes, as well as handmade pocket squares ties, bow ties, jewelry, sunglasses, socks, cardholders, and tie clips.

Subscribers received a high quality brown plaid tie this month, and I can’t wait to see my husband wearing this. Brown is not what I would consider a common color for a tie, and I think that it why it really stands out to me. The details on this tie are beautiful, and there is a slight shine to it. This tie would look great paired with a navy or tan suit!

Hitsu Socks – $16
Hitsu socks are designed by street-artists and each sock has a story to tell. Hitsu works with artists who have done something they feel is worth sharing.

This color-combo is beautiful! The pattern on these baby blue and brown socks is very unique. There is a mix of diamonds and dots, and the two shades of brown compliment each other well. These socks are very soft, and would pair very nicely with this month’s tie. These are the type of socks that are easy to dress up or down depending on your outfit. They are nice, thick, and comfortable.

A. K. Timepieces Watch – $50
At A. K., they believe that your watch should match with your brand. A watch tells another who you are, where you have been, and where you are going.

Wow. This is a beautiful accessory piece. Subscribers received a stunning modern style watch made of stainless steel. The black background makes it look even more timeless and classy. The wristband is made of brown leather. When I saw this watch, I was blown away. This single piece is almost double the price of the monthly subscription.

Shades Club Sunglasses and Case – $35
Shades Club believes in self-expression, quality, design, innovation and fun. Your sunglasses should be an experience. Shades Club believes sunglasses should make you happy and comfortable.

When I first saw the brown leather sunglasses case, I was already impressed. When you have a high quality pair of shades, you need to keep them protected. The case just got better when I opened it and saw a super stylish pair of sunglasses inside. These gold-rimmed shades are so fresh. They are lightweight and have a nice orange tint to shield your eyes from the sun.

Capsiva Pain Relieving Gel
Some pain relievers claim to relieve your pain, but don’t. Others appear to relieve your pain, but in exchange for relief, you harm your body and risk addiction. Capsiva is hereto give you a better and final option.

This is so neat! This is not a product I was expecting to find in this month’s box, but I love that they threw in a relieving gel made with natural ingredients. After a long day of work, this is the perfect gel to soothe your sore spots and get you ready for the next day.

Gentleman’s Box Review October 2019 – Final Thoughts

This month’s Shining Star honoree is… Jack Nicholson! Did you guess correctly?

I’m a huge fan of the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, so I was very happy to see a familiar face on the cover of this month’s informational pamphlet. I found the play on words to be very clever…shining star… good one! Subscribers also received a bonus recipe for Slow Cooker Beer Chili, and it sounds delicious. I love chili, so this was a nice finishing touch. This month’s box is so good! It is valued at $125, making it an incredible steal at over 4x the cost of the monthly subscription. I am very impressed with this month’s box, and I can’t wait to see my hubby looking fresh and stylish with his new accessories.

Naturallure: October Box 2019

Are your beauty products made with clean, clear, and conscious ingredients? With Naturallure’s monthly subscription, they can be!

Naturallure works with both small handmade brands and larger brands to deliver non-toxic products to your door each month. With their monthly subscription, you’ll receive 5-7 self-care products with natural and organic ingredients within the first week of each month. Each monthly box includes a good selection of full sized and sample beauty products to help with your transition to cleaner living. Plans: Monthly ($39.95), One Time Purchase ($44.95)

Let’s take a closer look at the October box…

Stella Chroma Cuticle Oil – $4.50
This is a fun one! This cuticle oil is made with organic apricot, almond, and jojoba oil. This cuticle oil is designed to replace the moisture in your nails that gets stripped from everyday elements. The result is stronger and more flexible nails. I think this is a wonderful product because every so often my nails start to chip and feel weak.

Moni’s Lavender Facial Mist – $10
Moni’s Facial Mist is designed to help rebalance the skin’s pH level, fight and protect against breakouts, and regulate oil skin. This mist can be used as a toner or as a makeup setting spray. The lavender scent makes this the perfect mist to calm and soothe your skin. It comes in a glass bottle too, which makes it feel a little fancier.

TS Skin Company Body Butter – $5.50
What I love about this body butter is that it’s made with only three ingredients: shea butter, coconut oil, and fragrance. The scent of this particular body butter is lemongrass. This is a fast absorbing and moisturizing formula, which is also something that I appreciate. With this body butter, there is no need to worry about an oily residue sitting on top of your skin for hours.

TS Skin Company Tumeric Lip Balm – $2.75
This lip balm is made with only four ingredients: mango butter, beeswax, organic turmeric, and grapeseed oil. This lip balm is designed to enhance your lips, soothe them, and make them pinker. I did not know that lip balms could make your lips pinker, but now I’m intrigued. I would not mind my lips being slightly more pink, so I look forward to using this lip balm!

The Dirty Lamb Lip Scrub – $12
I think lip scrubs are wonderful products because they help you remove dry flaky skin from your lips and reveal super soft lips. The ingredient that sticks out to me from the ingredient list is peppermint oil extract. I can imagine this product feeling very cool on the lips, which is refreshing.

R. Drew Naturals Under Eye Elixir – $5.50
This under eye elixir is designed to be a wake up call for your eyes. If you’re like me, you don’t always get the best sleep and that leads to under eye circles. This elixir is designed to brighten the under eye area, which causes you to look more awake and refreshed.

For $39.95 a month, you can enjoy a clean, clear, and conscious beauty routine! Sign up today at https://www.naturallurebox.com and stay up to date with my latest unboxings on my Instagram account at https://www.instagram.com/missreviewsalot/

Naturallure October Box Review – Final Thoughts

The product that stands out to me the most this month is the facial mist. As someone who struggles with acne and combination skin, it’s always nice to discover products that target my main skin concerns. Toners also happen to be one of my favorite steps in my skincare routine. I like that this month’s box featured a skincare product. In the past, there has been more of a focus on body related products. Originally, I thought this box was valued at $95. I have since learned that the value is about half of that. That is the only thing I am a little disappointed about with this box. The product are great!
