Hi everyone!
Delancy, the founder of Sunset45, sent me a box of her just released subscription service to review. If you would like to read my interview with her as to her motivations behind this box, you can find it here.
What is 
?
Sunset45 is a monthly subscription box that offers you an affordable and wearable way to keep up with runway trends. Each month you will pay $30 to receive $100 of curated jewelry, perfume, sunglasses, and other accessories. This will not be like other subscription boxes where everyone receives the same items and there is only one pricier items with 2-3 cheaper items, each item will be worth the money.
June 2014 Lavish Box
Cost: $30
Cycle: Monthly
Types of Items: Jewelry, accessories, perfume, etc.
Number of items: 3-6
The Unboxing!
The spread for this month!
This month is so glam! The falsies + the really sparkly earrings would be really nice for a formal night, and the earrings with the star bursts on them are great for casual wear.
Items received:
- Ardell Falsh Eyelashes in Black 110 – These are nice and spread evenly, so can look “natural” when wearing falsies. They come with a really nice applicator! – $5-99 (target)
- Stella Earrings
- Hailee Drop Earrings
Total value, non jewelry = $6.99
The classics box
Ardell Falsh Eyelashes in Black 110
I really like this starter kit! These come with an applicator to help attach the lashes. I always have some issues getting them on right, so the lash applicator is very very nice.

Ingredients of the glue:
Water (Aqua, Eau), Rubber Latex, Cellulose Gum, Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate, Ammonium Hydroxide, Fragrance (Parfum), Coumarin, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Formaldehyde.
Don’t use this if you’re allergic to Latex!
Stella Earrings
At first glance, I wasn’t so sure about them. I thought they looked a little juvenile at first. It seemed liked something teenage me would wear. But, when I put them on they didn’t seem so juvenile like and I really like them! They reflect light really nicely with the starbursts. These are 925 sterling silver.
I can’t change my bottom earrings, so I put this in my cartilage hole. Here is an awkward profile shot:
Haillee Earrings
It was really hard for me to get a good picture of these with my camera. See the overall picture at the top for a smaller version of them. These are more formal earrings. I’m not really digging the top of the earrings, but the bottom looks nice. They can easily class up an outfit.
I don’t really know if these would match any necklaces I had, so maybe getting the matching necklace to this would have been nice.
Overall thoughts
This is my third box with Sunset45, and my first classics box. If you like simpler (by that I mean more classic – heh) jewelry the classics box is for you. I think the lavish box is better if you like statement pieces (like me!) I think I prefer getting necklaces over earrings because I will wear them more often than earrings, but that is my personal preference. These pieces (earrings + falsies) can be easily added to an outfit to spice it up. I’ve already added the Stella earrings to some of my outfits! The earring backs for these two sets provided is much nicer than the standard ones you receive. It is hard calculating value for this box, but it’s not as high for me as the last two lavish boxes I have received. I think that’s because I feel that necklaces are most likely more expensive than earrings, but one of the earrings provided is also 925 silver. That being said, if you like earrings the value of this box might be higher for you. Either way, the value of this box is still over $30. I will still wear all of these pieces, but I would prefer more necklaces – and I believe you can weight your profile like so. I’m excited for next month’s theme – leaves/forest-ish !
Thanks Dede 🙂
