March Bonjour Jolie special box



Hello again! I really need to catch up with Emma (E.S.), so my mom ordered the special edition Bonjour Jolie box! This box was a limited edition box for $20 which she just ordered a week ago so she was really surprised and excited to see on her door step when we got home from our thrift store adventure! From the looks of it this box is still available. So, let's dive in!





Here's what it looks like when you first get it and open it up! This box was heavy so mom was excited to see what was in it!





 Here's the first impression you get when you pull back the paper, the first thing my mom saw was the Moon Pie so she was already happy!








These are all the little treats you get, there were two Moon Pies (and to quote my mom, "Hot Damn!"), a Russel Stovers caramel heart, some Sweet Tarts, two Land O Lakes hot cocoa packets in french vanilla and warm oatmeal cookie, a handful of Tootsie Rolls and blackberry creme chocolates.






We found out why the box was so heavy! I guess six little bags of bath salts are heavier than they seem! They included three bags of brown sugar and fig and three of chocolate truffle. Both of these salts smell wonderful, but I don't think my mom enjoyed them too much because she doesn't take baths so I think she may re-gift these!




Next is Chocolate Minted hand soap and Chocolate Decadence Soy candles, both of these smell nice and chocolaty and also may be in the re-gifting pile!



 My favorite part, well besides the jewelry, is the tea! I do love Stash! You can tell by the pumpkin spice that these are some that they had laying around and wanted to get rid of, which I'm fine with!





These are flower petals to sprinkle in your bath, they both smell very nice. But whether my mom will use them or not, I don't know. I love things like this which obviously means the wrong person is receiving this box!











My mom liked these products! It's a Bodi Heat pad, which works wonders for cramps! As well as a eye mask, which makes this box a great spa box between this, all the salts and the flowers. Bonjour really wants to make sure you're pampered!













This little bag had some nail care items in it. It had a Sally Hansen color quick pen, a nail art pen, a nail file, cuticle oil, and some nail polish wipes as well as some Bonjour Jolie chap stick. I like the nail art pen because you can draw on your nails. I don't like the color quick pen because they never really work well and they are pretty messy. Mom was just saying she needed more cuticle oil so this came just in time!









Last but not least, the jewelry! These are both very pretty and simple necklaces. One is a silver heart locket and the other is a light purple stone. Both necklaces are nice and simple, and can be worn on a casual day or a special occasion!










So, what do you guys think of the special Bonjour Jolie box? I love the special subscription boxes, not that I myself have gotten to any in time! I plan on ordering this box ASAP as long as they still have it, and if it's different I'll share with you guys! Let us know what you think!

March 2014 Bonjour Joile Review


Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! I really need to catch up with Emma so here's another of my mom's boxes! This is Bonjour Joile, a monthly or a one time only box for that wonderful time of the month every woman has! Bonjour Jolie brings some happiness to that time of the month by sending you some necessities you may have forgotten to go buy, some wonderful sweets to snack on and some hot tea to sip on while you curl up with a blanket! Bonjour Jolie is $16.00 plus shipping which totals to about $21.00 so let's dive in!!


Here's the first look when you open up the box!


Of course it's green for St. Patrick's Day! They always send you treats to snack on, some medicine, some items to pamper yourself, a gift (which is almost always a beautiful piece of jewelry), some tea, and your favorite feminine products. When you sign up for the box they ask you if you prefer pads or tampons and they send you either a mixture of  25 or 25 of one or the other, they also ask you when your cycle starts so they can send you the box when you need it!


The first thing I'll go through is the edible stuff, cause that's the best part right? The first snack I picked up was an Oatfield Orange Chocolate Roll, which is orange hard candy with a chocolate center, which tastes like an orange Tootsie Pop with a soft center instead of chewy. The next piece is also an Oakfield product, it's an Irish Butter Toffee, which is just a toffee, it didn't really stand out to me like the Orange Roll. Next is an Oakfield Chocolate Peppermint, I love peppermint so this was my favorite so far! My mom made me a cup of Stash Red Velvet Tea, which she got in her February Bonjour Box, when I came over to raid her new box. With the tea we had Bewely's Tea Company Caramelized Tea Biscuits which I really enjoyed but my mom didn't really care for them. The last product was honey sticks from The Blarney Stone Farm, I LOVE honey sticks and I'm hoping my mom loves me enough to share these with me!!
The next products are tea. The first is Bewley's Tea in Irish Breakfast of Gold, and a more familiar brand, Twinings, which is also Irish Breakfast. I've never had Irish Breakfast tea so I look forward to trying this!


Now on to the fun part, the pampering!


The first product is The Blarney Stone Farm Castile Soap. It's made by hand and has no added colors or perfumes, and smells amazing! It's a very light scent and not overwhelming, which is nice.


Next is The Blarney Stone Farm Lotion Bar. I have a lotion bar from a previous subscription box and I really like it! This one smells really good but I don't think i'll be able to talk my mom into giving me this one. I'll just have to get my own!!


 Next is a Basic Earth Botanicals Massage Bar. It's made with eucalyptus and lemon and from what I can smell through the package I love it!
                                            

The last couple things in the box are some travel sized Advil, and some travel size feminine wipes





















I saved the best for last: the gift! This is a very pretty bracelet with a shamrock with a green disk. The downside is, it's very small so I can't steal it from my mom because I like bracelets that hang from my wrist!






















I love the Bonjour Jolie box, it adds some happiness to a not-so-happy experience! So, what do you guys think? Is this your kind of box? Would you subscribe to Bonjour Jolie or do you have another preference? Let us know!
