FIRST IMPRESSION
Causebox has some of the most impressive packaging in the business. Their boxes are so gorgeous! They’re also reversible, so if you’d like to reuse yours, you can just flip them over and add a lining inside. I reuse all of mine; they keep my closet colorful!
ON TO THE ITEMS!
Pixie Mood ‘Zoe’ Crossbody in Black (Annual subscribers can choose between Honey, Black, or Gray)
RV: $75
When I first saw this item, I was a bit let down that this was the “big ticket” item of the season. I prefer small purses like the Vooray Sidekick I got in a past FabFitFun box. This Pixie Mood bag seemed too big and boxy for my taste. Since I prefer a soft cloth lining, I also didn’t like the inside of this purse, which feels like plastic.
Well. When the pandemic hit, I grew tired of my small purses. I needed something that could keep my phone and hand sanitizer separate from the other contents of my bag to prevent contamination. So I switched to this Pixie Mood bag…and, wow! This bag has been such a lifesaver. Suddenly, I could carry more than just essentials; I had room for masks, gloves, hand sanitizers, etc. It’s also super easy to clean! The lining can be quickly wiped down without being damaged by dampness.
This has been so useful, and I’m happy to report that this is currently my favorite purse!
Dime Beauty Super Eye Duo
RV: $49
This Dime box contains two products: the volume mascara and the eyelash boost serum. The mascara is alright. It makes my short lashes a bit more noticeable, although I don’t think I get any lengthening effects as I do with some other formulas.
The eyelash boost serum is my favorite of the two. However, I use this on my brows rather than my eyelashes because I’ve been in the market for a brow serum. I’ve been trying to grow out my eyebrows, which are sparse thanks to over-zealous tweezing throughout high school and college. While I don’t necessarily see any miracles with this serum, I think it does a good job of conditioning my eyebrows.
Earth Harbor Aqua Aura Reparative Eye Cream
Size: 0.5 oz
RV: $34
This has been my go-to eye cream during the day! I know it looks…interesting. I think the product separated a bit during storage and transit. But it still smells lovely, so I just gave it a stir, and it became a bit more like the product pictures on their website.
Formulated with seaweed collagen and blue tansy, it feels like I’m doing something good for my face whenever I put this on. And little goes a looooooong way! I think this tub will last me through the rest of 2020!
Jenni Earle ‘Wild + Free’ Bandana
RV: $32
The only bandanas I’ve ever bought were those $1 Walmart ones, so I’m happy to get this in a box! I don’t regularly use bandanas, so I took a deep dive in Pinterest, and now I have all sorts of ideas! I’m loving this as a hair accessory. I’m still debating whether to wear this on my neck because I’m self-conscious about drawing attention to my neck and shoulders. Growing up, I always lamented that I didn’t have a dainty, swanlike neck. I often feel like I would have made a good linebacker with my wide shoulders 😆!
Cardea Auset CALM Mood Mist
Size: 2 fl oz
RV: $30
Sleep doesn’t come easy to me, so I use aromatherapy in the evenings to create a relaxing environment. This mist is aptly named! It has forward scents of lavender and witch hazel, which I find instantly soothing. After it sits on the skin for a bit, the bergamot scent becomes more noticeable. These are some of my favorite scents!
Stackable Bento Box by Bentgo
RV: $29
I’m a huge fan of bento boxes! I used to have a circular steel bento, and it was an easy way to carry cold lunches to work. Now that I’m working from home, I don’t often get a chance to use this, but it’s been used by my partner a few times a week. He likes to eat dishes with a side of rice, so he used to pack multiple Tupperware containers for just one meal. He likes this more compact way to carry his lunch!
Artisan Direct Sustainable Grocery Starter Kit
RV: $22
I was excited to get this item. My partner and I love to go to farmer’s markets, so under normal circumstances, this would have been used for that on a regular basis. With things as they are, though, we stay away from environments where people congregate in one area for long periods of time. However, I’ve been using these in another useful way: as gift bags! They’re perfect for small gifts, and the recipient can reuse their bag however they please. It’s a win for everybody, but mostly for the environment!
Art Print
RV: $10
This is so gorgeous! I love getting these little prints, they’re a great size for desk decorations. I love getting a new print every season so I can rotate my desk decor.
FINAL IMPRESSION
The Causebox Spring 2020 box is a surprise hit! When I first saw the spoilers, nothing excited me too much. I thought I would be giving most of these items away. But a month after getting my box, I’m still using everything…and loving it!
Favorite Item: Pixie Mood ‘Zoe’ Crossbody in Black
Highest Value Item: Pixie Mood ‘Zoe’ Crossbody in Black ($75)
