MissionCute Subscription Box Review - May 2015

MissionCute is a subscription box that sends out cute items for home and wardrobe from small, artisan businesses. The wonderful thing about this subscription is that they donate 50% of net proceeds to a new charity each month. For May, the donation will go to ImprovingBirth, an organization advocating for respectful, evidence based care. You can get involved by nominating a charity at MissionCute.com/community.

There are two types of boxes you can choose from: MissionCute Mini (2-3 items) or MissionCute Deluxe (4-6 items). The box I'm reviewing is the Deluxe version. It was kindly sent to us for review purposes.

The box comes with a fold out card detailing this month's charity and the included items.

Product: Wooster & Prince Manicure & Pedicure Set
Retail Value: $11.45

The manicure set is called The Delhi Manicure Set. It combines a bright pink colored nail clipper inside a patterned emery board and buffer block. The compact design is great for travelling.

Blush Berry Bliss Set is the name of the pedicure combo. It contains one two-sided exfoliating pedicure paddle and one set of foam pedicure spacers. The set comes stored conveniently in a reusable vinyl pouch.

Both of these sets are useful personal care items, and I love that they are mostly pink. There are also other colors and patterns available, so there may be variations in the boxes.

Product: MudLOVE "Grace" Band
Retail Value: $8.00

The MudLOVE "Grace" band is an everyday reminder to be kind and show grace. More importantly, this band also provides one week of clean water to someone in need. You can learn more about MudLOVE here.

The band is cute and well made. I have a small wrist and often have trouble finding bracelets that fit without having to re-size, so I am happy that this band is easily adjustable. The MudLOVE site offers the band in different colors. Although I would've preferred a pink one, this turquoise version is really pretty as well.

Product: SOPHi Nail Polish in #NoFilter
Retail Value: $7.99 (Full Size)

The SOPHi nail polish in #NoFilter is a matte, deep pink color. It is non-flammable, and formulated without formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), or ethyl acetate. In addition, it is also vegan and cruelty-free. According to the Piggy Paint site, this nail polish does require extra steps to ensure chip and scratch resistance since it does not contain harsh chemicals. The most exciting part about this nail polish is that it's nearly odor-free. While there is a very slight nail polish scent, it has 90% less smell than regular nail polishes. I love it!

Product: Ampersand Charm Necklace
Retail Value: $16.00

This gold-tone Ampersand Charm Necklace from MissionCute can be worn by itself or used for layering. I like that it's simple and can go well with any outfit.

Product: "Find Your Inner Goddess" Print
Retail Value: $10.00

The "Find Your Inner Goddess" print by Stephanie Lazorchak is an original design created exclusively for MissionCute. It measures 5" x 7", and can easily be framed or gifted. I like the unique pattern, and I think it would make a great decorative item.

Final Thoughts: I love all of the items featured in this month's MissionCute box. I'm especially excited about the SOPHi nail polish because it has little to no odor, and formulated without harsh chemicals. Now that I have a baby around the house, I'm definitely more aware of the environment and making sure he's not exposed to toxic products. The retail value of the box is just over $50. If you want to support small businesses and donate to charity while getting a box full of nice artisan items, I would highly recommend MissionCute.
