The Box: Bonjour Jolie's Mystery Box (no longer available)
The Cost: $15 + $5 shipping
The Goods: 5+ teas, 10+ sweets, 5+ pampering items, and 2 mystery gifts.
Oatfield Chocolate Orange Candies: ($.72/ea) These Irish hard candies have an orange shell with a chocolate center. They're good, though I wish the chocolate centers were just a bit larger. Each candy in the roll has its own little wrapper, which is nice.
Craisins Pomegranate: ($.66) I've only ever had the regular Craisins, but I think I like these better!
Swiss Miss with Marshmallows: ($.11) We go through a lot of hot cocoa at our house. I think J actually used this right after I unpacked it.
Bewley's Irish Breakfast Tea: ($.57) I'm not a massive fan of hot tea, but I've developed quite the collection. I should probably sort through it all and either give it a go or give it away.
Good Earth Teas: ($.75) Okay, you know what I *just* said about not liking hot teas? Yeah, if there were ever flavors that could change my mind about that...it might be one of these three.
Stash Mango Passionfruit Herbal Tea: ($.25) I've already given this to my grandmother since she avoids caffeine. I should check back and find out what she thought about it.
Teashop Premium Blend: I can't seem to find anything about this brand. It's certainly the least pretty tea that they included, but I know you can't judge a book by its cover.
Oatfield Irish Butter Toffee: Soooo good. The only downside to these is that they quite chewy and not for the faint of jaw.
Oatfield Chocolate Peppermint: ($.59) These are kind of similar to the orange chocolates. The peppermint is refreshing without being extremely overwhelming, and the chocolate is subtle.
Goezte's Mini Cow Tales: ($.36) I love Cow Tales. If you've never had one, they're basically caramel ropes with cream in the middle.
Bewley's Cafe Biscuits: ($0.43) These are sort of similar to a graham cracker but...better. They're light and just...tasty.
Goetze's Caramel Creams: ($.56) I'm pretty sure these are the same thing as Cow Tails but bigger.
Adam's Chiclets: ($.10/ea) I used to love the tiny Chiclets when I was a kid, but I'm not sure I'd ever had the mint ones until now.
Charleston Chews: ($.25/ea) I ADORE Charleston Chews, but I never really think about them unless I happen upon them - usually while perusing CVS.
Radical Works Soap Samples: ($5) All of these scents are actually nice. Cola is probably the most unique scent, but Sweet Lemon is my favorite.
Dickinson's Witch Hazel On the Go Towelettes: ($.44) J and I occasionally go hiking and geocaching, which involves me slathering on sunscreen and bug spray and then getting hot and sweaty. These will be great to clean my face of all that grossness afterwards.
Basic Earth Botanicals Massage Bar Soap: ($.31) I know I've used this at a hotel before, but I can't remember which one. It's not the fanciest soap, I do like the massage aspect.
Tulip Body Lotion: ($.25) This lotion is a bit too strong for me, but J likes it for some reason. He's already stolen one of the little tubes for himself.
Blarney Stone Farm Castile Soap: ($2) This soap has no added perfumes, but it actually smells delicious!
Cotton Candy Bath Salts: ($1) It actually smells just like cotton candy. I kind of feel obligated to use this while drinking some sort of frou frou girly drink and reading chick lit. :)
Silver Shamrock Bracelet: ($14) It's not something I'd wear every day, but maybe it will make a cute accessory for St. Patrick's Day.
Bronze Key Necklace: ($10) I have a thing for keys, so this necklace is a total win.
Total Value: ~$40
Well, it took me a while to get this review up but...better late than never, right? I think they do these mystery box sales once or twice a year. Most, if not all, of these were sent out in previous Bonjour Jolie boxes. It kind of makes me miss my subscription!
