MoonBox paused for a few months, but I'm happy to see they're back as promised!

Gaia Collective MoonBox "Flourish" Review May 2018
This little card introduces the concept behind the box.
This next card introduces the lunar phases for May as well as the "intention" for the month, which is to "Flourish".
There's a flourish bookmark in the box, too!
Cosmic Collage Moon Calendar
Each box comes with a colorful woven sheet that's just smaller than a standard pillow sham and printed with a galaxy pattern and the phases of the moon and corresponding astrological symbols.
The box also came with a bag of three crystals.
The crystals are each about 1-2 inches big.
Amethyst Crystal
I love the peaceful purple of amethyst, which is said to influence dreams and instill protection.
Rose Quartz Crystal
This petal-pink quartz is said to inspire love and forgiveness.
Tree Agate Crystal
This stone is so cool! It's mix of toffee-brown and lilac stone. This stone is all about grounding, according to the info card.
Top Gem Minerals Gypsum Desert Rose
This stone is a little smaller than a baseball. Looking into the MoonBox Instagram, this stone is actually a crystallized flower. How cool!
Love by Luna Mystic Mani Polish - Retail Value $18.00
This nail polish is "crystal infused" to give it extra oomph. There's rose quartz, selenite, and moonstone in this peachy, petal-pink polish to provide the wearer with feminine energy, forgiveness, intuition, and love. I like the neutral color and the vegan, cruelty-free, 5-free formula!
Rose Blossom Beauty Balm, 0.35 oz. - Retail Value $9.00 (Found here for $6.75)
This balm comes in a wider bar-shaped container rather than the slender tube that I'd expect from a lip balm. It's quickly become my favorite lip balm, with its nourishing, buttery-smooth finish. I think it's the shea butter in the recipe that makes it so luxurious, but there's beeswax, sunflower oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, apricot oil, and more. Sometimes I think rose aromas are overpowering, but I didn't mind the light, natural rosiness that comes with this blend.
Small Succulent
Oh no! The last item in my subscription box struggled to flourish. This small plant arrived in pretty bad shape, but I'm working to keep the half inch or so of stem and leaves that's still rooted in its planter healthy and thriving!
The Verdict: I think this subscription is great for someone who's starting to get into the world of crystals and metaphysical wellness. I like getting a small selection of crystals to add to my collection each month, plus the natural beauty products are really nice quality and feel unique to me. I love that they wanted to send a plant along (I love succulents!) but I hope if they do it in the future, it arrives more securely! I'm not an expert on crystal and moon rituals, so if you are more familiar with those sorts of practices, please comment and let me know what you think of the quality/usefulness of those sorts of items! I'd love to learn more about how you use them.

Value Breakdown: The box itself cost $31.50 after shipping. That means that the average price of each item, via the box, is $5.25 (counting the bag of three crystals as one item). Though I couldn't find a retail value for every item in the box, the values I could find add up to $27.00. That's just for 2 items, meaning the remaining items (including the crystals, mat, rose, and plant) must have a value of $4.50 to make up the rest of the value.
