We're starting a new monthly post highlighting our favorite discoveries from subscription boxes! Here are our favorite items from the past month:
Haley's Favorite:
The Item: ColorPOP + Hello Kitty Super Shock Eyeshadow, shade “Small Gift”
The Cost: Listed Value $6
From: Benevolent Beauty (Coupon: Use code MSA2017 for 15% off your first month!)
Why I love it: I love this eyeshadow because it's super creamy and highly pigmented. It applies very smoothly and blends well. This is a bolder color than I usually reach for for my eyes but it wears beautifully - plus it totally works for me as a blush, too!
Lacey's Favorite:
The Item: Z Skin SPF 45 Organic Sunblock, 2 oz
The Cost: $18.95
From: Ecocentric Mom (Coupon: Use code SAVE5 to save $5 off any subscription!)
Why I love it: I am still honestly a bit skeptical of this because the ingredient list is so unspecific, but I've used this on a few sunny days now. I haven't been outside ALL day using it, but for a few bright hours when I'd normally feel a tinge of a burn, it seems to provide adequate protection on my arms and neck. I love how easily it absorbs and the fact that there is no "sunscreen" smell, even though it is pretty strongly citronella/mint at first. Even if I don't buy this specific product again, my eyes have been opened to the fact that not all sunscreen is a chalky, smelly mess!
Anna Rodriguez's Favorite:
The Item: White Distressed Denim Jacket [http://bit.ly/21u0b5l]
The Cost: $56.95, VIP Price $39.95
From: JustFab (Coupon: Get two styles for $39.95!, no coupon required, just use this link)
Why I love it: I was looking for a white denim jacket, and this one is so cute! It fits well and the cut is just right. I wore it several times on a recent trip to LA, and I felt totally at ease about my style. I know I'm going to get a lot of use out of it this summer!
Ragan's Favorite:
The Item: Moonlight Jasmine from Rishi Tea
The Cost: Value $10.13 (buy 4 oz for $30.50)
From: Tea Runners
Why I Love It: I drink tea all the time. I don’t usually spend $10 per ounce, though. Not only is this jasmine green tea unique in that it doesn’t come in pearl form, but you can differentiate it in terms of quality from less expensive jasmine green teas. It has a delicate flavor with a strong jasmine component to it.
Jira's Favorite:
The Item: Rosemira Aloe and Pink Grapefruit Gel Cleanser
The Cost: $44
From: Benevolent Beauty & Rosemira Organics Skin Care Special Edition Box (Coupon: New subscribers, use code MSA15 for 15% off your first subscription box! Coupon is not available for the Special Edition boxes.)
Why I love it: It's made of natural ingredients like Aloe Vera gel, Olive leaf, Plantain leaf, and Argan oil AND it smells SOOOOO good! I've been using it daily and every time I use it, I feel like I'm at a spa!. It leaves my skin clean, moisturized, and balanced afterward, too!
Anna Reilly's Favorite:
The Item: 2016 Secret Identity Rose
The Cost: $18.00?
From: Wine Awesomeness May 2017 (Coupon: Get one bottle free when you subscribe!, no coupon required, just use this link)
Why I love it: Rosé season is here, and this is just the wine to usher it in. The taste is crisp, dry, yet delightfully fruity—just what I like on a warm, sunny day. Plus, this Rosé comes from Iconic's collection of comic-book-inspired wines, hence the super-cool illustrated label!
Jessica's Favorite:
The Item: Skin Owl Body+
The Cost: $46.00
From: Clean Beauty Box by Art of Organics (Coupon: Save 10% off your first box with code MSA10)
Why I Love It: This body oil has such a delicate sheen, taking my lackluster and ashy winter skin forward into warm spring days. I love all things rose gold and this oil absorbs well into damp, just-out-of-the-shower skin leaving behind an ethereal glow. It’s divine!
Sara's Favorite:
The Item: Amelie Sneaker in Gray
The Cost: VIP Price $39.95 (regular price: $59.95)
From: JustFab (Coupon: Get two styles for $39.95!, no coupon required, just use this link)
Why I love it: The soft gray pulled me in and the minimal design and crisscross elastic strap made these a slam dunk pick this month. I had to exchange for a size up, but I've been living in these comfortable sneakers ever since!
Shawn's Favorite:
The Item: Strawberry Whipped Sugar Scrub
The Cost: $15.00
From: The Bee Box by Hart’s Handmade (Coupon: Use code BEEPOWER to save 20% off your first three boxes! (month to month subscription option))
Why I love it: I want to eat this stuff it smells so good! I don't like fruit scented items usually because they never really smell like fruit in my opinion but this scrub hits the scent dead on! I stand in the shower smelling my handful of sugar scrub for way too long. I've never had a whipped scrub either and it leaves my skin soft but not oily. You will love it!
Nich's Favorite:
The Item: Mented Cosmetics-Nude Lipstick #5
The Cost: $16.50
From: We Are Onyx (Coupon: Save $9 off a 3-month subscription (ONYXBOXH320)! (Regularly $69) or save $12 off a 6-month subscription (ONYXBOXH619)! (Regularly $126))
Why I love it: I’ve been searching for the perfect nude and this is it. It’s moisturizing and creamy in texture. I love this shade!
Eric's Favorite:
The Item: Guardians of the Galaxy 2: Groot POP
The Cost: Value $15 on Amazon
From: Stan Lee Box
Why I love it: While it's not an exclusive POP - it is the most adorable character from GOTG Vol. 2 - so I was really happy to snag this POP!
