ResQRoast Coffee Box Review



ResQRoast Coffee was sweet enough to send me a box with a couple of their coffees. 
The Subscription box is:
MONTHLY- $29, 3-MONTHS-$81, 6-MONTHS-$150, RECURRING, CANCEL AT ANYTIME.
Exploration Pack
How It works:

Sign up for a ResQRoast coffee subscription and be the first to try our newest coffees before they are available to the public! Each month you will receive two, different, 12oz bags of artisan coffee. These are coffees that we have traversed the world in search of, and roasted to perfection in our 100% carbon neutral facilities. To take our coffee one step further, we donate 15% of the purchase price to the charity of your choice. Free Shipping on all US Orders. Recurring. Cancel at Any Time. (Note: all orders placed by the 15th will ship out around the 25th of the month)
Solofill Reusable K-Cups
Have a Keurig machine but want to enjoy ResQRoast coffee? Now you can! With this reusable filter for Keurig Single Serve Coffee Makers all you have to do is fill, insert and brew.




I made Iced coffee with my RQR Reserve bag. It was soooo goood!

Tropical fruit, winey, toasted almond, caramel.
Our signature Medium Roast, this coffee has both Rainforest Alliance and Organic certifications, and features coffee from Nicaragua, Peru, and Tanzania. Combined these flavors create a balanced cup, full of nuanced characteristics. The Nicaragua provides the strong base, with a touch of sweetness. The Peru provides the ‘low-note’ heaviness and body. And the Tanzania from the Ngoro Ngoro gorge is added for its delicate sweet, fruit-flavors.





The other bag flavor was El Magdalena.

It's flavor notes are Orange, milk chocolate, almond, floral, creamy body


El Magdalena is an exceptional Colombian cofffee from a farming co-operative in the South Tolima region. When you purchase this coffee, not only does 15% go to the charity of your choice, but a portion of the funds are also donated to the local co-op farming community in order to improve the local standard of living.



Monthly Chocolate Club

BeautyArmy Skipped this Month :(



This month I opted to skip BeautyArmy. I'm so disappointed because it's one of my favorites that I look forward to every month. You get to pick 6 items that you want after filling out your beauty profile.  My picks for this month were things I had already picked before or things I was not interested in trying. It seems to be going that way alot lately..on the fence about continuing with certain subscriptions. I think they need more brands and different products from those brands. This goes for ALL of the sub boxes. Hopefully next month will be better..sorry guys.

June 2013 Ipsy Glam Bag Rocked Like Bon Jovi!




On The Wild Side


This month's bag blew my mind! All full size makeup..and the colors?..I've died and gone to an all you can eat buffet where you never get fat!








All the product Brands from this bag


Freeman Beauty
Psssst!® The TRUE Original Dry Shampoo
 This is my most favorite dry shampoo ever!!





Starlooks
Lip Pencil
I love Starlooks products! This color was in Tipsy..heh.







NYX Blush





J.Cat Beauty
Sparkling Cream Palette
I love this- isn't it beautiful? Can't wait to try it!!!
This is NOT for the eyes..it's body, hair nails..whatever you can think of!

TIP: Use Glitter Glue! Too Faced has a good one..




Chella
Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil

This is what it's used for if you don't know:
Chella's Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil is a fresh and pretty neutral pencil that will brighten and visibly lift your eyes when lightly applied on the brow bone, dark circles, blemishes and red spots. Draw a line under the brow with this creamy pencil and then pat gently into place using your ring finger. May be used above the brow for additional highlighting, as well as anywhere you would use a concealer. 

I loved this month's bag and hope next month's is the same.
ON A SIDE NOTE:

I won't be petty and down the bag because of their customer service-but just hope you never have to email them!!

I emailed because my monthly winner picked Ipsy as their prize. Well, Ipsy only has 3 month gift subscriptions. I wrote to them to explain why I needed a one month and to see if they could accomodate me. Here is the reply:
