I learned about the Fig+Yarrow brand from a different subscription box, so I was happy to try another product from them.

Product: Ilia Beauty Lip Gloss - The Butterfly and I
Retail Value: $24.00 (Full Size)
The Butterfly and I is a peach colored lip gloss made by Ilia Beauty. It contains ingredients such as organic coconut oil, shea butter and vitamin E to help lips stay soft and moisturized. As a side note, this lip gloss was actually missing from the box when I first received it. I contacted Birchbox, and they shipped out one to me right away. I held off on the review until I receive this item in the mail.
Product: Juice Beauty Green Apple Age Defy Hand Cream
Retail Value: $12.00 (Full Size)
The Juicy Beauty brand shows up pretty often in subscription boxes, and I’ve received this hand cream a couple of times. However, I don’t mind getting more of it since it’s useful and I like the green apple scent. It is also composed of organic ingredients, which is always a plus for me. If you are thinking of trying Juicy Beauty products, note that a lot of their products are made for all skin types except sensitive skin.

Retail Value: $13.20
The yarok brand is another subscription box favorite, and this leave-in conditioner have been featured in other boxes. FEED YOUR ENDS is composed of minerals, vitamins, and essential oils. The purpose of this leave-in conditioner is help to protect the hair from heat and add shine. Since I use a blow-dryer pretty often, this is a useful product to have.

The KOR Aura Water Bottle is made with BPA-free plastic a dribble-free Perfect Sprout™. This water bottle come in two different size, and the one included is the 500 mL version.

Product: Mullein & Sparrow Pink Himalayan Bath Salts (3 oz)
Retail Value: $9.34
Mullein & Sparrow is another brand I discovered through subscription boxes. I really like their simple design, and their products are composed of almost all organic ingredients. I’m very excited to try out these bath salts! The detail card and the bottle didn’t specify the amount, so I weighed it myself.

This multi-use blush can be applied on the cheeks, lips, or eyelids. According to the manufacturer’s site, it is composed of 70% organic ingredients and 30% minerals.

Although I don’t use blush often, I can always use this as a lipstick or eyeshadow.
