For summer, Goodebox offered a bonus box with 10-12 items for $20. I snagged one as soon as I saw it go on sale. If you are not familiar with Goodebox, they are a monthly subscription company that sends a mix of natural or organic (mostly vegan) personal care and/or beauty products. Every season, they offer a bonus box that features products from past subscription boxes or sometimes unique items not included in past boxes.
I purchased the spring box couple a month ago, and really enjoyed it. You can click here to read the review. If you are interested in getting the next bonus box, be sure to check back here or sign up for our newsletter as I will certainly post about it.

This time, Goodebox included little reminder cards for every product with a photo, description, and "how to use" blurb on the back side.
Product: ellovi Tinted Lip Butter
Retail Value: $5.00 (Full Size)
I like the ellovi brand. Every product they make is composed of "six wildly harvested ingredients so pure you can eat them." This lip butter smells slightly like chocolate, and is tinted with a Mediterranean flower called Alkanet for its color. It's moisturizing without being sticky. The ingredients are: sunflower, macadamia, Hawaiian coconut, shea, Alkanet root, and African marula.
Product: Suntegrity 5-in-1 Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen (0.25 oz)
Retail Value: $7.50
I received this moisturizing face sunscreen a couple of times from other subscription boxes. The Suntegrity 5-in-1 Sunscreen is a BB cream that treats, hydrates, protects, primes, and covers the skin. It contains SPF 30. The cream is composed of both natural and organic ingredients.
Product: Elegant Rose Boutique Mini Bath Bombs (x2)
Retail Value: $2.00
The scent I received is the Yang Yang Grapefruit. I love citrus scented products. However, I don't normally take baths, so a lot of the bath bombs I receive in subscription boxes will need to be gifted.
Product: derma e Evenly Radiant Brightening Day Creme SPF 15 (0.5 oz)
Retail Value: $7.49
The derma e day creme helps even out skin tone and contains SPF 15. The active ingredient is zinc oxide for sunscreen. The creme distributes evenly and it not too thick. It's also fragrance free.
Product: Meraki Botanicals Cleansing Rose Grapefruit Face Oil (1 oz)
Total Retail Value: $10.00
The Meraki Botanicals cleansing oil is composed of both natural and organic ingredients. The smell is slightly strong for me, but I can use it without a problem. The cleansing oil helps remove dirt, makeup, and excess oil.
Product: CV Skinlabs Rescue and Relief Spray (1 oz)
Total Retail Value: $5.67
The CV Skinlabs Rescue and Relief Spray can be used on the face or body to help with burned, wounded, and irritated skin. I just noticed that it helps with eczema, so I will try it on my son when he has a flare up and gets irritated. I like that it's composed of natural and organic ingredients.
Product: Lotus Moon Natural Skin Brightening Complex (0.5 oz)
Retail Value: $22.48
This is a skin brightening complex that also helps gradually lighten areas of hyper-pigmentation or dark spots. For uneven pigmentation, only apply to areas with noticeable discoloration day and night. According to the description, you can expect to see results in 3-6 weeks. I have a couple of sun spots that I'd like to lighten, but not sure if this will work. I will try a couple of weeks and see how it goes.
Product: Wild Honey Apothecary Buttermilk Sandalwood Honey Mask (0.35 oz)
Retail Value: $3.85
I'm assuming I'm allergic to sandalwood since I've used all of the other ingredients in this mask before. I really wanted to like this product because it's all natural and organic, and smells like pure honey. However, it caused my skin to itch and I had patches of red all over my face after using it. Some of them were slightly raised too. My face also felt hot like it was burning for about 30 minutes. I will discontinue using this mask.
Product: MSC Skin Care + Home Olfactics Collection Scent 003 Aromatherapy Soy Candle (0.5 oz)
Retail Value: $2.38
I received the same sample from the Spring Bonus Goodebox, so I won't review it again. The following is from my last post - Scent 003 is described as musky and heady, with precious woods complemented by complex aged patchouli. Although I normally like fresh and citrus notes, this candle actually smells wonderful to me. MSC soy candles are handmade in Brooklyn, NY. The fragrances are phthalate and paraben-free. This little sample container does not specify the amount, so I took an educated guess.
Product: MSC Skin Care + Home Olfactics Collection Scent 002 Alcohol-Free Parfum (2 ml)
Retail Value: $2.86
I received the same sample from the Spring Bonus Goodebox, so I won't review it again. The following is from my last post - Scent 002 is a floral based fragrance. It is described as earthy, deep and complex. Since I like fresh and citrus notes, this scent is a bit too sweet for me. While I don't like receiving perfume sample vials, I do like that this perfume is alcohol free and composed of simple ingredients. Similar to some of the other sample products, the vial does not show the amount. I looked up perfume vial size in order to determine the amount it can hold to estimate the value.
Product: Modern Minerals Mineral Eye Shadow (0.035 oz)
Retail Value: $6.25
The color I received is Lola, which is described as "Warm Apricot + Rose Pink with subtle bronze shimmer." It's a lovely color, and it's a shade I would normally use. I also have a full-size version in an exclusive rose color from another subscription box.
Product: Poppy & Elle 3-Pack Knotted Hair Ties
Retail Value: $4.19
I have long hair, so hair ties are always useful and I can never get enough of them. I also love the colors Goodebox sent.
Product: Ecojot Pen on Wood Mini Notepad
Retail Value: $4.00 (5.00 CAD)
I received the same sample from the Spring Bonus Goodebox, so I won't review it again. The following is from my last post - To be honest, I don't hand write notes as much as I used to in school. I bring my laptop around to meetings at work all the time and barely use a pen. With that said, I love this little 3" x 4" notepad from Ecojot. It's well designed and well made.

Final Thoughts: This is the second time this week that I had a reaction to a product from my subscription boxes. Next time, I will make sure to test on the back of my hand before covering my face with something I’ve never used before. There are also three repeat items (MSC Skin Care + Home Candle & Perfume and Ecojot Notepad) from my Spring Bonus Box, but I don’t mind getting more of them. I like and will use everything in the box except the honey mask which caused an allergic reaction.
