Each MissionCute box comes with an inspirational info card. The back of the card notes that this month's proceeds go to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association, Inc.
Wet Brush Detangle Brush - Value $6.00
I love the petite size of this brush. It's super portable for throwing into a tote for after the gym or pool. I use a large detangling brush every day (though I'm not sure it's the same brand), so I'm familiar with the way these designs claim to ease pulling on the scalp. Glad to now own a mini, travel version!
Beach Cover-Up/Blanket - Value $10.00?
My MissionCute box did not come with a product information card this month. It made figuring out the intended use for certain items, like this one, pretty tricky. I took this large, circular piece of fabric to be either a sarong or some type of beach blanket. Maybe it doubles as both (I'd use it for either!). The MissionCute website doesn't give much additional information around box items, so let's just go with that. Even though it's a nice size at 5 or so feet in diameter, the fabric is very thin and cheap feeling. I'm also not a huge fan of the print, so I'd probably only use this as a beach cover-up if I didn't have anything else. This is definitely the 'big ticket' item in the box, but... I'm not really impressed. I just guessed at the value based on the quality of the piece.
Pineapple Sippy Cup - Value $1.99
I'm actually leaving for a beach trip tomorrow, so this pineapple cup (and the whole box, really) came at the perfect time. I can't wait to fill it with lemonade for mornings at the shore. Again with the quality, though. With its flimsy outer shell and single use straw, this cup didn't thrill me.
Mavi Bandz Keychain? - Value $2.00?
Okay, honestly, I had absolutely zero clue as to what this was initially. Going off of the sticker on the front, it's an "adjustable, non-slip headband.'' But, no. This thing is 6" laying flat, so there's no way it's fitting on even a child's head. Is it simply a keychain? There's a key ring attached, and the band material is quite sturdy, so... Again, the MissionCute website is no help. I will try attaching this to my keys, but it's pretty large for my everyday bag. It'll probably end up in the trash, since I genuinely have no use for it. What a shame.
Nature's Bakery Blueberry Fig Bar Twin Back, 2 oz. - Value $0.47 (Buy a pack of 6 for $2.78 at Walmart)
The saving grace of this box—a snack! Fig-filled bars always provide that sense of nostalgia for me, so they're just a delight to eat. This one was really tasty, and it's nice that 2 come in a pack. Sharing is caring!
Verdict: This MissionCute box had a nice beach theme going on, but I really had trouble with some of the items. First off, it would have been immensely helpful if an info card detailing each product was included. Even something on their website would be nice. Even though I love that MissionCute's aim is rooted in donating to some incredible charities, I was left scratching my head with this box. With an estimated $20.45 value, the box doesn't come close to being worth $39.99.
