Kona Kase ~ May 2013

Pampered Pink Box ~ May 2013

This is a brand new sub, but I couldn’t help but sign up. 🙂 I was impressed at how quick it showed up! BTW I got the petite box for $12. The Luxe version is $30. I’m going to give this a few months before I leap to the bigger version.
Each box comes wrapped in lush packaging. Enclosed are 5-7 sample sized pampering products from Indie, new, or recognized brands; as well as special offers from merchants and “Your At Home Spa Recipe” or tips & tricks.

I got a little card that said “Color me blissful” – I’ve made it home! The back read: Your Pampered Pink Box is full of “Make me feel pretty even if i feel yucky” goodies… Girlfriend: It’s Time To “Get Your Spa On”
Here are my spa goodies:
- Japanese Garden Body & Hand Cream .09oz (smells wonderful!)
- BBW Bella Flora Pocket Bac 1 oz (Very strong smelling)
- Skin 79 BB Cleanser foil packet
- Smash Cosmetics ~ Angelite eyeshadow
- inSparation Spa & Bath Fragrance ~ Lavender
- Pink crochet ummm I don’t know what
- Shimmering Whipped Cream For the Body ~ Ocean (Leaked everywhere. Thank goodness it was wrapped in plastic
- 20% coupon toward any single item from Hang It Up Frames (etsy shop)
So am I impressed. Not so much, but this is a new company and this is their first box (that I know of). I’ll give them a month or two to iron things out. 🙂
