Each box comes with a fold out card detailing the items included.

It starts with a letter from Shirley.

The theme this box is “In Support Of” – many of the items come from brands that give back.

Now, on to the items!

Brass and Unity Onyx Bracelet – Value $55

Twenty percent of all proceeds from each bracelet sold help provide service dogs for returning vets!

This bracelet is made with a real, previously-fired brass shell casing, and onyx beads. Here it is on:

The quality of this bracelet is excellent. I was surprised by how little give the elastic band has, though. My wrists are on the smaller side, and I was just able to get this bracelet on.

Sorme Brow Lift – Value $19

This is a creamy, matte pencil designed to be used beneath brows and at the corners of your eyes. (Swatched in lower photo.)

Sorme Smearproof Eyeliner in Black Jade – Value $13

Since this is an eyeliner pencil, you can control how intense you want the look with pressure.

There is a subtle green color to this eyeliner, but really it looks black to me once it is on. Here it is swatched above the brow highlighter:

Sorme Brow Comb/Brush – Value $9

Gingiber Owl Tea Towel – Value $18

Twenty percent of the proceeds from sales of this towel in this box go to the Red Cross relief fund for Hurricane Harvey victims.

This towel features a  screen printed design made with water-based, eco-friendly charcoal ink on 100% cotton. And it’s so cute!

Starboard Alchemy Cleansing Grains – Value $22

(Subscribers will either receive these Cleansing Grains or a mask. All are $22.)

I’m on a bit of a mask overload at the moment, so I’m happy that I received the cleansing grains. If you aren’t familiar with this type of product – it’s a gentle exfoliator. Mix 1-2 teaspoons of the grains with water, form a paste, then use it as a cleanser. (And I love that this formula is just made with a few natural and organic ingredients.)

Moorea Seal Pen – Value $24

I love a fancy pen, and this one has a nice weight to it!

The rose gold color is very on-trend, too.

Most importantly, the ink glides smoothly on the page.

Mable Brush – Value $10

These brushes are made from sustainably-harvested bamboo, which is naturally antibacterial, water-resistant, and biodegradable.

And the toothbrush is painted with a plant-based paint on the stand-up base.

Verdict: This box has a value of about $170! I think that is fantastic for a $40 box! I’m going to miss this subscription! (And I appreciate the in support of theme this month, too.)
