So as usual I’m playing catch up with my boxes. Today I’ve got a ton of Popsugar spoilers along with my April box review. Let’s jump right in.
SUMMER LE SPOILERS
Summer Limited Edition Box!
Description: “Wishing everyday was a beach day? This box will set you up for an endless Summer of looking chic with must haves for the beach, heat-proof goodies, and more that will continue to make you daydream about your favorite outings at the shore.”
Quantities are limited, so don’t delay! Boxes will be shipped by May 26 via FedEx SmartPost.
Cost: $100.00
The spoilers so far look like a fabulous summer box. Right now, it looks like there are still some available for sale so if you like what you see, you may want to nab one.
JUNE MUST HAVE SPOILERS
I’m super psyched because that Dr. Blankenship’s sea salt spray is my favorite sea salt spray and one of my favorite hair products period. The pouch looks adorable and I’m always up for a new book. I’m excited to see what the last few items are.
APRIL MUST HAVE BOX
MakersKit Crystal Sand Art Terrarium Kit
(Suggested Retail: $32)
Description: “This all-in-one terrarium kit comes with a glass vase, preserved mosses, sand, and an amethyst crystal. Not only are crystals one of the biggest trends, but this is the season’s easiest DIY-project-turned-ultrachic-decoration as well.”
Verdict: LOVE!
I love home items and I had planned on making some terrariums for my new house, so this was perfect. I also love that this wasn’t an item you typically expect to see in a sub box. One of my favorite items I’ve ever gotten in any box.
The Cottage Greenhouse Carrot & Neroli Rich & Repair Body Wash
(Suggested Retail: $22)
Description: ” Rejuvenate with this vitamin-rich body wash that nourishes and restores your skin. Full of naturally hydrating ingredients like coconut oil, cocoa butter, and honey, it’s guaranteed to make you glow from head to toe.”
Verdict: Love!
One of my favorite things to get in sub boxes are items that are luxury or nicer versions of everyday things like bodywash, shampoo and hand soap. This body wash looks super luxe and I can’t wait to try it out.
MORNING CULTURE Dipped Bamboo Cutting Board
(Suggested Retail: $22.00)
Description: ”’Function meets form with this gorgeous and eco-friendly kitchen addition. Dipped in food-grade paint, this pretty bamboo cutting board doubles as a space-saving serving tray.”
Verdict: Hit!
I’m always up for new home items and this will be a perfect little appetizer tray. I have a clear glass bowl that should fit in the round cut-out, so I can do a perfect little tray of pita and humus or veggies and dip.
Tonic Australia® Lavender Sachets
(Suggested Retail: $15.00)
Description: ” Wake up to a sweet scent of Spring, or in this case, the refreshing aroma of idyllic lavender fields. Place these pretty floral satchels filled with dried lavender under your pillow or in your closet for a daily dose of exceptional calm.”
Verdict: Love!
More house stuff! As someone who just bought a house, this is perfect. It will inspire me to organize my dresser drawers.
CocolabTM CocoflossTM
(Suggested Retail: $8.00)
Description: “Make flossing fun with this coconut-oil-infused dental floss that will keep your mouth clean and fresh. The soft microfiber filaments are designed to scrub your teeth and a hint of tropical fruit will turn your pearly whites into a lifelong treasure.”
Verdict: Hit!
I know it’s just dental floss, but as someone who has lots of fun gum issues (thanks genetics) I need to floss somewhat compulsively so I’m happy to try some fancier products.
Nourish Snacks Holy Habanero
(Suggested Retail: $1.99)
Description: “Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan, these fire-roasted habanero-seasoned corn kernels are unbelievably delicious and savory. Can there be too much of a good thing? With these little kernels of deliciousness, we think not.”
Verdict: Not for me
I’m not so into peppery snacks so this one was amiss for me.
SPECIAL EXTRA
ProNamel® Strong & Bright Enamel, Extra Fresh Toothpaste
Description: “The secret to whiter, brighter teeth starts with strong enamel. This new toothpaste is fortified with minerals to help strengthen enamel and polish teeth. Plus, it freshens breath and fights cavities for a healthy mouth.”
Verdict: Hit!
Who doesn’t need extra toothpaste? This might not be super fancy, but it will save me a couple bucks at the pharmarcy.
OVERALL:
Verdict: Favorite box of the year
With the exception of the $1.99 snack, I loved everything in this box. It was definitely home décor heavy and had a practical vibe, but it was perfect for me. I adore practical luxe items and the unexpected terrarium kit was a wonderful addition. I can’t wait to find a place for all these goodies in my new house.
I still had boxes left on the awesome deal I nabbed last year, so I only paid $20.46 while the estimated retail value (excluding the toothpaste) was $100.99. For what I paid, I would have been satisfied with just the terrarium kit. I think the quality and value of this box was well beyond the full $39.95 price tag.
I’ve got lots more box reviews coming up including a few new ones.
