"Mini" Motherhood Survival Box July 2018 Review
I love the beautiful packaging of this box starting with the design on the outside. It's always fun to receive pretty things! I also love how they glued this little information card to the top of the box so we know exactly what to expect.
RX Bar in Blueberry - Buy 12 for $25.99
I have tried RX bars before and I have not been a fan, but the card stated that this blueberry bar was their most popular flavor and I can see why! I actually couldn't stop eating this one since the flavor was so good. I love that it has such simple ingredients and has these big pieces of almonds throughout. It was also very filling, which is great for a protein bar!
Ursie's Apothecary Brightening Citrus Face Scrub - Retail Value $10
There is no size listed on this, but there is a decent amount in this jar and I will definitely get several uses out of it! The formula is pretty thick and coarse, so I'm not sure I would use this on sensitive skin, but my skin felt very soft and smooth afterward. This is made with all natural ingredients and it smells like a lemon cookie! I used this in the shower and for some reason, I couldn't help but taste it as it rinsed off my face. It tasted like sweet, citrusy baking soda and it didn't bother me much since the ingredients were natural.
Tin Feather Velvet Lipstick in Velour - Retail Value $15.81
I love that the contents card says it's safe enough to kiss your babies! Great marketing for a mama-friendly lipstick. This is a handmade, organic, and vegan matte lipstick. The name Velvet lipstick is fitting as it felt so soft on my lips!
The lipstick was actually pretty flattering on since it gave me just a subtle hint of color. It had a great, moisturizing texture and it smelled like shea butter, which I loved! It's almost like a tinted chapstick, but with a bit of a thicker formula making it feel even more moisturizing and luxurious to me. This has definitely become my new go-to lipstick!
Verdict: This was my first time receiving the Motherhood Survival Mini Box and I was really happy with all of the items that I received. It was just enough to make me feel special without being overwhelmed by a ton of items I may or may not use. I'm also incredibly happy to have discovered the Tin Feather lipstick! The total value of the box is $27.98 and we paid $24.95 + free shipping and while that isn't too much higher, I think it's a decent value for the quality of items received!
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? It is unclear whether you will receive this exact box since it doesn't state which quarter this is from. From Motherhood Survival:
If you sign up before the 15th of any month your box will ship that month on the 20th. If you sign up after the 15th your box will ship the 20th of the following month. You will receive a tracking number once your box ships.
Value Breakdown: This box cost me $24.95, including free shipping, so here is what you are paying approximately per item:
- RX Bar: $1.93
- Scrub: $8.92
- Lipstick: $14.10
