My friends over at the Rakuten Affiliate Network chose me to be one of 50 bloggers to receive their Q4 Bonus Box! I love this program because it makes us bloggers feel so special and it introduces us to new brands. I have been fortunate enough to be selected to receive several bonus boxes (see previous posts: Q2 Bonus Box and Q3 Bonus Box) and they’re always amazing! This quarter we’re ending the year right with some really high quality goodies!
Want to be in-the-know about everything fabulous, see what’s inside the box, and find out my 100% honest opinions on them? Read on, my friends!

 FOREO LUNA MINI

Would you believe it if I told you I’d been thinking about getting one of these cleanser brushes and then this showed up on my doorstep? Now, that’s luck! The FOREO LUNA mini is a compact facial cleansing device that cleans deep into your pores. Simply use your regular facial cleanser, plug in your LUNA mini, move the brush in small circular motions all over your face for about a minute, and rinse normally.
This product comes with a USB charger, a 2-year limited warranty, and a 10-year quality guarantee, which is proof they believe in their product. It can be found at major retailers like Sephora, Nordstrom, and Barney’s New York. It was also acknowledged as the ‘2014 Innovation of the Year’ by the Elle Sweden Beauty Awards!
Okay that’s a lot of hype, but what’s this everyday woman’s opinion (aka moi)? I loved it! It felt great- like giving myself a little facial- and my skin has never felt so refreshed and smooth! I think I’m hooked. The best part about it is that the front is for sensitive skin and around your eyes and nose, while the back is an even deeper clean for regular skin. It really works for any skin type! My skin has gotten pretty sensitive over the past few years and this product didn’t irritate it at all.

 E.L.F. PARTY READY EYESHADOW PALETTE

I learned about e.l.f. Cosmetics (eyes lips face) on the radio years ago, but this is my very first time trying out any of their products. The best part about the brand? The majority of their products range from $1 to $6! Uh, hello fabulous deal! Because of these low price points, it allows us to expand our horizons with new colors and styles without the risk.
I love this palette! It has a fantastic mix of colors and it even has a few ‘glitter’ shades, which are always my favorite. This palette is called ‘Party Ready’ and that’s so true based on the glitter-based shades and vibrant hues, but it also makes a great day to night beauty transition. The neutral shades on the left are perfect for the daytime!

 MONICA VINADER FIJI BRACELET

The Monica Vinader Fiji friendship bracelet has the best of both worlds; the friendship jewelry style and quality. Monica Vinader has a wide variety of high quality jewelry products and even offers engraving services, which makes it the perfect holiday gift! Because of the silver plate on the front, even this friendship bracelet can be customized. They will engrave anything from a phrase to monogram and even a hand-drawn doodle to make it completely yours.
Monica Vinader offers complimentary engraving and complimentary gift packaging. That’s right, this chic box and storage bag is included with the purchase. All you need is a bow!

 TIMETOSPA ELEMIS PRODUCTS

They had me at ‘spa!’ Who doesn’t want to have that spa experience at home? timetospa is an online retailer that carries high-end beauty products by brands like Bliss, Phyto, and Elemis. In the #RANBonusBox, I received 3 samples by Elemis: a bronzing moisturizer, an illuminating flash balm, and a cream cleanser.

It’s tough to get a complete understanding of the product from a sample but the reviews for each of the products say it all. The vast majority of the reviews I found online insist that although the Elemis line is expensive, it has a high-end feel that is so worth it. See for yourself: Elemis bronzing moisturizerElemis illuminating flash balm, and Elemis cream cleanser
