Loot Crate is a monthly mystery subscription box of geek and gamer gear.  It is filled with exclusive items from the biggest and most popular pop culture franchises. The cost for a monthly subscription is $13.95 + $6 Shipping.

The Loot Crate umbrella now offers other boxes such as Loot Crate Pets and Loot Crate Anime.

This Unboxing is for the original Loot Crate box.


Just like the past Loot Crate boxes, once opened and flipped inside out, the box reveals a different design - complementing the month's theme. This time, the box can be transformed into a car - thanks to the additional small cardboard pieces included in the box. I am very happy that Loot Crate is doing this.  As it is, I already love the past box designs but since last month, Loot Crate has been upping their A-Game with regard to the usability and creativeness of their boxes.


 
Here are the items in the box: 




 As always, the box comes with an exclusive Loot Crate monthly magazine and pin.  The pin can can reveals another digital loot.  This month it is something from Comixology. 


 Here is a closer look of the goodies:


Stark Industries T-Shirt
Iron-Man 

Battle Star Galactica
Exclusive Cyclon Raider

Batman Keychain

Flash and Green Arrow Collectible Auto Ornaments

Gone in 60 Seconds
Eleanor

  This month's items are pretty much a good selection of collectibles. I am also happy that it has a good balance of collectibles and wearables. The Batman keychain is definitely my favorite item - it is well made and the details are good. I also love the the fact that it is something that I can use and take along with me.

Join the wait list now if you are interested in getting this most coveted beauty box.  Play! is still not yet open to the general public but it opens up a few slots every now and then.

The theme for this month is The UnBasic Basics. I received 5 deluxe sample sized items and one perfume vial.

The Unbasic Basic - an anything-but-ordinary assortment  
Here are the items in this box:


 As always, all make up items are nestled inside a simple but cute Sephora themed pouch. 


 Here's a closer look of the goodies:


Sephora Collection
Rouge Shine Lipstick in Love Spell

This lipstick is formulated with shea butter, which is rich in vitamins and minerals. It also has castor seed oil which is known for its anti aging and anti-inflammatory properties. 


This lipstick has a sweet scent and 'taste'. I also love that it applies very smoothly on to the lips.  What I do not like? The color - it is just too pale for my medium tanned skin. 


 Kat Von D 
Tattoo Liner in Trooper
Waterproof brush-tip liquid liner glides on to reveal precise, bold strokes of highly pigmented color. 

Anastasia Beverly Hills
Brow Gel
Lightweight, flexible hold gel sets, defines, and keeps brows in place for a polished look that stays all day.


Living Proof
Perfect Hair Day Night Cap
Overnight Perfector 

Provides softness and shine. It is a weightless solution that keeps the hair looking its best.  Use this at night before going to bed. You can shampoo it off or skip shower - it will still deliver awesome results. A night cap treatment will last for a good seven days!



Ole Henriksen
Sheer Transformation

Light, Silky and Oil Free.  This moisturizer melts into skin to help soften, brighten and even skin tone.
This goodie can also double as a make up primer!
 

Atelier Cologne
Sud Magnolia

Has delicate notes of magnolia with layers of wood and citrus.

IPSY is a $10 monthly subscription box of beauty products.  

Each box (or pink package) contains a make-up pouch that is designed according to the monthly box theme. The bag contains a combination of 4-5 sample and full size products.This subscription box is the best way to try and test different make-up brands without breaking the bank. This is also a cheap way to build your make up arsenal. :)

Ipsy ships to US and Canada.

This month's theme is  Glamazon


Here are the items in the bag

Here's a closer look of the Ipsy Bag

I noticed that in the past few months, Ipsy has been putting a lot of effort in the design of their bags. They used to have cheap looking - 99 cent like bags but now, it definitely looks better and unique.

I received 4 deluxe size samples and 1 full size cosmetic item this month.  I have to say that although I love this month's bag design, I am not really that psyched about its contents. 


Onomie
Powerful Priming Serum in Truth

  • Soft-focus finish. Looks great under makeup or on its own.
  • Look at me, ma. Powerful antioxidant blend visibly improves skin tone.
  • Hello, radiance. Gently exfoliates to smooth and refresh.




NUXE
Moisturizing Mask Crème Fraîche de Beauté

Soothes and softens even the driest of skin with plant milks and white blossom.
 Instantly relieves any skin discomfort. Hydrates for 24 hours.


IT Cosmetics 
Superhero™ Mascara in Super Black
 
Formulated with peptides and proteins for extreme volume and unbeatable length.
  • Delivers a one-two punch. Biotin and collagen both strengthen and plump lashes.
  • Proprietary Elastic Stretch Technology wraps and extends each individual lash.
  • Unique brush design delivers maximum separation and curl.



BelláPierre Cosmetics
Mineral Blush in Autumn Glow

Comes in a peachy-bronze shade. Gives a natural just-been-to-the-gym glow. No chalky texture. Talc-free, paraben-free and suited to all skin types



Living Proof
Perfect hair Day (PhD) 5-in-1 Styling Treatment

Smooths, volumizes, conditions, strengthens and polishes hair.
  • Patented OFPMA and PBAE molecules protect and thicken tresses
  • No need to hit the gym to build strength. When our marketing team tried it, we all saw less hair left behind in our brushes.
  • Keeps style cleaner for longer—so we can rock 3rd, 4th and 5th day hair
I received this same item in my Play! by Sephora September box.

Perhaps out of 5 stars, I am giving this month's box a 3. The bag is beautiful but I am not really happy with the stuff that was in it. Hopefully, they can give more full size cosmetics.

On another note, Sephora is running a promo until September 25, 2016.  Current members can send up to 5 free glam bags to any family of friends who are not yet subscribed to Ipsy. The bags are free but the catch is that the next one is not.  Once subscribed, the giftee has an option to cancel the subscription for the following month. If you want your friends to be in, go to your account ASAP!
