My box was a bit banged up during transit, but everything inside was safe.
First Look: The theme for this month is “Movie Star Gorgeous”.
A full color information card was included in the box, along with recipes for a wedding cake martini and chocolate martini.
Two Sisters Spa Gourmet Bath Bomb – Black Raspberry & Vanilla $4.99 I actually hated baths until I was introduced to bath bombs in subscription boxes. I was really thrilled to see a bath bomb and this one smells like black raspberry/vanilla.
Luxurious Sugar Scrub Wild Orchid/Gardenia: $10.00 est (based on similar products) This is a special exclusive for Better Half Box and it has a wonderful floral scent. This sugar scrub is more of a body wash consistency, instead of just sugar granules, which makes for easy application.
Elanas Bows Geometric Elastic Hair Ties: $5.15 I think coral and turquoise must be the “in colors” for summer, because I am seeing them everywhere. I really love hair ties and I use them daily, unfortunately, they are always disappearing, so I am glad to get more.
Glamour Dolls Lip Cream $2.99 This a very creamy lip color and it's a pale pink color. I received the color “Duh” but some subscribers received “Juicy Melons”.
This is a swatch of “Duh”.
Gadgets and Gear Movie Trivia $14.99 C and I are total movie buffs and we had a blast with this game. We each like a completely different set of movies, so it makes for a fun time.
Stemless Wine Glass “Movie Star Gorgeous”: $4.00 est This glass is perfect for one of the martini recipes included in the box (yes, I know this isn't a martini glass). I love the pink font, because I won't have to worry about any of the men in my house taking it.
Dell Cove Spice Co Cocktail Rim Sugar Tin $4.25 You don't need to drink alcohol to use this sugar, it can be used with a Shirley Temple or other fruity drink. I am going to use this at my next dinner party. Some subscribers received purple or pink.
Crown Brush Makeup Set $30.00 If you read my blog, you know I love makeup brushes. This set includes 12 brushes, so you can apply product, blend, contour and groom. The brushes seem like nice quality and I was glad to add a few missing brushes to my “tool kit”.
Final Thought: This box had a total value of $76.37 and it was quite the impressive box! Better Half Box emerged in the subscription box world with a bang and this box can compete with the big box companies. I love the movie star theme and the box was filled with items to make you feel and look gorgeous. If you want to try Better Half Box, you can use this link with the code FIRSTBOX29 to get your first box for $29.00.
Here is the spoilers for June!
The theme will be Island Adventure
Each box will have a Big Dipper Wax Works Candle ($5.50 value).
