Now, on to the items!
Tree Hut Skincare Protecting Daily Moisturizer in Refining Rose - Value $14.99
(This is a variant item. Check out the spoilers to see what other items subscribers may receive.)
This is a lightweight sunscreen + moisturizer in one. It absorbed quickly and didn't add any shine or greasiness to my skin. I was expecting it to smell like roses, but it smells like sunscreen to me - and I'm one of those people who love the scent of sunscreen, so I'm happy!
DHC Deep Cleansing Oil - 1 oz Retail Value $5.50
(All subscribers should receive this item.)
This is a beauty cult classic and for good reason. It's olive-oil-based, (bonus points if you love the scent of olive oil), it's fragrance-free and ingredient conscious, and it's super gentle. It removes makeup well, and when you add water, it forms a light, creamy lather. And you only need a few drops, so this sample size should last for a while!
Proenza Schouler Arizona Perfume - 5 ml Value $10
(All subscribers should receive this item.)
I don't like getting perfume sampler vials in subscription boxes but add just a few milliliters, but the perfume in a cute mini bottle and I'm in love! This floral scent has notes of Living Cactus Flower Accord and Creamy Orris Accord.
LaRitzy Shade Stix in Aloha - FULL SIZE! Retail Value $24
(This may be a variant item. Check out the spoilers to see what other items subscribers may receive.)
This is a bronzer stick that can easily be used for contouring - but a word of warning, this is heavily pigmented and not the easiest to blend out! If you start out with light strokes, you should be good!
The shade is a warm matte brown, with barely detectable flecks of sparkle. Here it is swatched:
John Masters Organics Evening Primrose Shampoo - 2 0z Retail Value $6.00
(All subscribers should receive this item.)
Glossybox has sent out John Masters Organics products before, but they get no complaints from me! This is a pricey, ingredient-conscious brand, and I love the formulas!
John Masters Organics Lavender + Avocado Conditioner - 2 oz Retail Value $9
(All subscribers should receive this item.)
Both formulas are lovely, but I especially liked the lavender scent of the conditioner. The shampoo was a standard shampoo for me, but the conditioner felt a little lighter than your typical conditioner formula.
Verdict: This box has a value of about $69.49. I think the value is good (not great), but I'm happy with all the items this month, so I'm OK with the value. The sizes (2 full-size items!) were great, and I the products are all a good match for me, too.
