Enjoying Life's Little Luxuries: Sunset45 Little Luxuries Box #Review + #Giveaway


One of my favorite things about the fall season, is really getting into fashion, and playing up different looks with accessories. Truth be told, one piece of jewelry or one accessory can change or define an entire look. I love fashion, and try to keep up with current trends, but one area I tend to fall short on, is jewelry and accessories. I love looking through Pinterest to find style inspiration. I have a lot of great apparel pieces, and sometimes, I have no idea what types of jewelry or accessories I ought to be pairing them with. Part of my problem is that I tend to be fairly modest, so when it comes to mixing and matching, I sometimes need a helping hand.


I recently learned about Sunset45, a fantastic monthly subscription service for Fashionistas looking for unique, boutique style jewelry and accessories for a fraction of retail prices! Sunset45 offers affordable options for those who want to stay up to date on current fashion trends, through their wonderful Little Luxuries Box!

The Little Luxuries Box is available for $30.00/mo + $5.00 shipping, and there are two style options to choose from: Classic or Lavish. I was excited for the opportunity to partner with Sunset45 to review a Classic Little Luxuries Box, and couldn't wait to see the pre-selected accessories of the September Little Luxuries Box that would come with it.

I was so excited when the mail carrier dropped off this package, which contained my Sunset45 Little Luxuries Box!

When I opened the box, here's what I found! I was immediately drawn to the velvet drawstring bag lying right on top!

Because I love fashion so, so much (and I know you all appreciate this about me, because we feature some really cool fashion and beauty items here on Mommy's Block Party), I couldn't wait to dig into the Classic Little Luxuries Box. I knew it was going to be filled to the brim with goodies! I carefully laid everything inside of the box out on my dining table, so I could get a good look at it all.

My little luxuries were all boxed up- what a classy touch!

My Little Luxuries Classic Box included:
Three jewelry items
Three beauty items
A card explaining the theme of the box
A personal Thank you note from Dee at Sunset45, who coordinated the review and giveaway for Mommy's Block Party.

September's Theme was all about lines, and minimalism- a big trend we've seen on the runways this season from deisngers like Altuzara, Dior, Celine, Balenciaga, Krakoff, and Veneta. From colorblocking to textureblocking, it's been all about the lines, and why not- clean lines offer a minimalist approach to fashion and beauty, and offer a classic look.

Mommy's little helper was all too eager to open up the little boxes to see what might be inside!

Here's the gorgeous line-up of items that were included in the September Classic Little Luxuries Box: Two necklaces, pair of earrings, eyeliner, two nail art paints.

A closer look at the jewelry (Back to front, left to right): Oblitas Crystal Chain, Curved Pave' Bar Necklace, and Mellie Pave Earrings.

Oblitas Crystal Chain: SRP $65.00

This extra long chain (48") is beautifully dotted with illusion bezel set cubic zirconia to create a delicate statement pieces. This chain can be worn long, or doubled up for a layered look. This is an especially beautiful necklace for the fall season!


Curved Pave' Bar Necklace: SRP $40.00

A curved cubic zirconia pave bar serves as the main focal point of this statement piece, sitting on a delicate chain. This is truly a dainty necklace, and one that I love to wear, because it is understated, and simply gorgeous! The bar gives a different dimension to any neckline, and speaks for itself, offering its simple beauty. I definitely feel luxurious when I wear it!

Mellie Pave Earrings: SRP $48.00

The Mellie Pave Earrings are a beautiful glitzy marriage of gold and cubic zirconia. They are incredibly beautiful, and would make any gal feel like a million bucks when worn. These earrings are clean and modern, light and comfortable, and bring a sense of elevated beauty and confidence when paired with just about anything from a cocktail dress to a casual cardigan and jeans.

I love wearing the Curved Pave Bar Necklace and Mellie Pave Earrings together...

The earrings and necklace are beautiful when worn together, or apart.

I love the look of the beautiful curved pave bar peeking out through my scarf, here!

As if the jewelry selections in the Sunset45 Little Luxuries Box weren't enough, there were three beauty items, which were totally an added bonus!

The included beauty items were Absolute Nail Art Paints, and Absolute Gel Eyeliner.

Absolute Nail Art Paints: $2.49/each

Nail art is huge right now. I used to think that painted nails were sort of gross, and clean nails with a coat of clear polish was the way to a classy, classic look. I am pleased to announce that I have come to my senses, and have realized how truly fun nail art can be! I stink at painting my own nails, but I am trying to become more patient when doing it, and practice more often. The Absolute Nail Art Paints in black and white are classic colors, and they have super fine brush points to give you more control over your designs!

Absolute Eyeliner: $4.99

I tend to stay away from black eyeliner, because I have eye allergies, and don't want to put myself in a racoon eyes position. However, I have to say that every now and then, a special occasion may call for me to don black eyeliner. My hubby and I are taking a wee anniversary trip, which will include a nice dinner, and I may very well wear this wonderful eyeliner for that occasion. I like that this eyeliner glides on smoothly, and doesn't smear or smudge throughout the day, like many others tend to do.
