The box is filled to the brim!

Everything in my box!

Hello Hair Hydrating Mask ($5) This mask is intended to get your hair summer ready and get all the dry away. Although they sell it in large 100g pouches, I’m happy to have just the one single treatment, as I can’t imagine using it that often. It contains Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Argan Oil, Olive Leaf Extract, Castor Oil, and Glycerin and you’re supposed to apply it to your hair & scalp 30 minutes before shampooing, or use it as an overnight treatment (be sure to protect everything should you do that!).  I have fine limp hair, so it doesn’t need a lot of help, but I have a dry scalp, so I’m trying this for spa day Sunday!

Herbivore Botanicals Rose Hibiscus Facial Mist ($16) I love this product so much I have the full size bottle in my desk caddy. I absolutely love misting! This coconut water mist has electrolytes to rebalance your skin moisture plus a light clean rose scent and hibiscus. It’s really light and refreshing!

You can use post-cleansing as a light toner or any time you want to replenish your face’s moisture.

Goddess Garden Sunscreen ($14.99 on card, $11.11 on Amazon) Wow! This sunscreen contains immortelle oil!  Immortelle is a natural essential oil with healing benefits. Immortelle products are so spendy so this isn’t absolutely loaded with it, but every bit helps. This 19% zinc oxide sunscreen is perfect for improving your skin as well as protecting it from the sun’s rays, and it’s water resistant for 40 minutes.  It’s also just under the 3-1-1 travel bag size, so you can take it with in your carryon.

Equa Active Water Bottle ($19.99) This easy to hold water bottle fits right into your palm, and it holds lots of hydration – 550 ml, about 18 ounces! A good water bottle is a great summer essential!

Viter Energy Mints ($4.99 on card, $3.33 on Amazon) This wintergreen mints are enhanced with caffeine.

40 mg of caffeine is about half a cup of coffee.

Adoratherapy Mood Boost Mini Spray ($12) This refreshing fragrance spray contains organic lavender, blood orange, ylang ylang, geranium and wild orange essential oils, neroli essential oil and jasmine absolute.

Just don’t spray it in your mouth like my husband tried to! It has a really fine mist which is perfect for this energizing orangey mood boosting scent!

Pretty Robes Silky Robe ($24.95) All the robes at Pretty Robes seem to be available for $14.95, but the customization adds $9.95.

The robe I received is in S/M and this company also offers 3 more sizes up to 3X/4X, so it’s a bit disappointing that Wanderlust didn’t get subscriber size info, I would have liked it in a L/XL.

I would so go for these for a bachelorette party/bridesmaid spa day! Super cute!

Starwood Sports Peanut Massage Ball ($14.99) This doohickey is actually a product that some people jury-rig up from 2 lacrosse balls. No more taping them together, you can get a good spinal stretch from this awesome piece of gear. I have a funky back and this had a good amount of firmness and really loosened things up for me.

Henne Organics Rose Diamond Lip Exfoliator ($24) This lip exfoliator is rose-scented.  It’s also a certified organic product that contains aronia berry, which adds the pink tint to the product and antioxidants and polyphenols to your lips!

Transcendent Beauty Skincare Kit ($27)

This skincare kit is perfect for a week away and also a great way to sample the brand. FYI – that white dust is from the box squiggles. I really liked sampling this entire set, which was nourishing and deeply hydrating. Below are the individual product descriptions from the company.


Empathetic Wrinkle Diminisher (2ml)–  Immediately, skin looks and feels virtually creaseless as suppleness is restored.  The appearance of scarring resulting from surgery and burns is noticeably improved. Irritation and redness caused by chemical peels, microdermabrasion and laser treatments are visibly diminished

Skin Guide (5ml)– Diminishes the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, rough texture and other signs of premature aging. Restores water and nutrients to improve the look of skin firmness. Comforts dry aging skin and minimizes pores by leaving skin deeply hydrated and refreshed.

Lightworker (5ml)– Improves the appearance of existing dark spots, age spots and traces of past acne. Promotes even skin tone complexion. Boosts skin luminosity for renewed radiance.

Night Healer (5ml)– Complements skin’s own overnight natural healing process and surface cell renewal is accelerated so skin looks re-energized and well rested. Restores elasticity and firmness while helping fade away signs of fatigue All facial zones appear visibly rejuvenated.

Aloha Collections Wet Bag ($28) This wetbag is 100% coated tyvek and is splashproof.

You can keep dry things dry and wet things away from your dry things. It’s not waterproof but it will keep your gear safer. I stowed it in my Hawaii trip box!

Hello Baby Luggage Tag and Passport Cover Set ($24)

Passport cover & luggage tag.

They’re nice quality, but they neither say “Hamptons” nor “Summer” to me.

The booklet shows these in a beautiful blue color – that would have been a hit. These to me maybe say chic winter in Paris?

Ecco Bella Tinted Lip Smoother  in “Go Bare” ($21.95) This smoothing balm has a vitamin E core!

It’s a nice shiny balm and great for treating your lips after a long summer day.

Olive + Piper Talia Y Necklace ($25)

This Y necklace is a delicate gold simple look.

It has 3 little gold beads at the end of the Y.

There’s an extender if you want to perfect just where everything hits.

Kimberly Parry Organics Cleansing Oil Clary Sage and Rosemary ($42)

This organic oil cleanser works fantastically to remove makeup, plus it doesn’t strip your skin!

If you have more mature/drier skin, you would use it as a full on cleanser. Otherwise, it would be best to use as a makeup remover. I really liked the scent and it worked well to cleanse my skin and keep it hydrated.

This box has improved a lot already with a new full color booklet, and less variable (we think!) items for subscribers. With $263 in value for a $75 box, I think that’s a good value to price ratio (it’s even better with a year long subscription and our coupon code, which knocks it to $56.25 a box!). A few of the item values in the booklet were a tad inflated or just wrong – the Adoratherapy value was for the full-size, not the travel size. Then again, the Cleansing Oil price was $12 too low! I think this is a fun all around subscription, even though a couple of the items missed the mark for me.
