This is definitely the best Ashton Kutcher Fancy Box I’ve received so far, and I think the shipping is getting a little more consistent for this Fancy subscription too.  I hope all my May Fancy boxes are this good!

The Box: Ashton Kutcher A+ List Fancy Box

The Cost: $39 plus shipping

The Products: Each box contains $80+ worth of A+ stuff

Marley Lively Up Leather Sling Bag – Value $79.99

This was the first item I took out of the box and I was immediately impressed with the quality of this bag. I knew it was going to be expensive, and I love that it’s worth more than double the cost of the box! I will definitely use this for airport travel – it’s the perfect size for an ipad and a kindle.

True Clean Towel - Value $23

Fred Finger Print Bookmark - Value $9

I am addicted to reading books on my kindle, so I’ll be passing this along to a friend.

Slang Flashcards – Value $10

Verdict: I paid $39 plus shipping for this box, and it has a value of over $120 – I’m thrilled. I’m hoping this high-value box trend continues with Ashton Kutcher Fancy Boxes! Do you subscribe to the Ashton Kutcher Fancy Box? What did you think of the May products?

Birchbox usually has about 30 or so versions of every month’s box. I was getting pretty jealous of other box combinations I saw, so about a year ago I signed up for a second subscription. I’ve had maybe 2 duplicate boxes, but other wise I love getting two birchboxes each month! (Check out my other May Birchbox review).

The Box: Birchbox

The Cost: $10 a month (free month with an annual subscription)

The Products: Beauty and lifestyle samples.

Vitivia Pro Vitamin Skin Care Capsules – Value $12

Yes To Carrots Berry Lip Balm – Value $2.50

I can never have enough lip balm, and this one is fantastic. Bonus points for organic ingredients – I love Yes To Carrots!

Mighty Leaf Teas (3) Value $1

DevaCurl 3 Step Introductory Kit – Value $5

I’ve heard great things about DevaCurl and I can’t wait to try this 3-step kit. It’s sulfate free, and it is supposed to do wonders if you have curly or wavy hair.

Isaac Mizrahi Fabulous Perfume – Sample sized – Value $1

Supergoop Daily Correct SPF 35 CC Cream – 3 mL Value $2

This box also came with a card to get a free full sized Supergood sunscreen with any Birchbox purchase of $35 or more. Just use coupon code SUPERGOOP at checkout!

Verdict: I’m pretty happy with this box. I paid $10 for May’s Birchbox and received over $20 worth of product. I’m most excited about trying the DevaCurl system. What did you get in your May Birchbox?

Now through May 19th, use coupon code 25TREAT to save $25 off a 6 month GLOSSYBOX subscription. That brings the total down to $90 or $15 per box!

I’m a big fan of GLOSSYBOX, so if you’ve been thinking of signing up – I definitely recommend taking advantage of this offer. (Check out all my GLOSSYBOX reviews to see what you can expect in each box!)

Plated is a new meal subscription service that sends you fresh ingredients and recipes to make gourmet meals.

The Box: Plated

The Cost: Depending on recipe and subscription plan, as low as $10 a plate delivered. (Each meal you select comes with a minimum of 2 plates (aka serves 2) and you must select 4 plates to checkout). So for example, you could select two different meals for two people each, or one meal for 4 people.

COUPON: Use coupon cod 56d3e5 to get two plates free on your first order.

The Products: Each week they post new recipes for you to choose from. You pick which recipes you want (or skip if you aren’t interested  and they send you all the fresh ingredients you need to make the meal!

Ships to: East Coast (From D.C. to Boston)

I really like that Plated uses only local ingredients and everything is perfectly measured out for your recipe – it’s like having your own sous chef! Also, if you don’t want to sign up for their subscription ($10 a month, with a discount on all plates) you can just buy 4 plates and see if you like it first. What do you think of Plated?

I’m alway so impressed with Julep’s speedy shipping time on these mystery boxes. The Hooray For May Mystery Box is still available if you are interested (but will probably sell out within the next day).

The Box: Julep Mystery Box

The Cost: $24.99 (Free shipping if you are a Julep Maven!)

The Products: $70-$200 worth of polish and product.

Julep Nail Color in Grace – Value $14

Julep Nail Color in Vanessa – Value $14

Julep Nail Color in Sharon – Value $14

Julep Nail Color in Avery – Value $14

Julep Nail Color in Charlie – Value $14

I think my favorite color in the bunch is Charlie – it has a nice summer sunshine vibe! I really like all these colors, I just think Sharon is a little too fall/wintery to be wearing anytime soon.

Julep Nail Color in Alice – Value $14

This nail polish was packaged separately with a bag and a note so you could share Julep with a friend. I like the idea, I will definitely be sharing my duplicate colors!

Verdict: I would have loved to see some beauty products in this box – I’ve gotten so used to a mix of Julep products from past mystery boxes! Still, I’m very happy with this box. I paid $24.99 for this box and received $84 worth of nail polish. That works out to a little over $4 a bottle – not bad! What did you get in your Julep Mystery Box?

I think May’s Bestowed Box was made for me – I love everything in this box!

The Box: Bestowed

The Cost: $19 a month (get a free month with annual subscription)

I eat the original Larabars for breakfast almost everyday, so getting to mix things up with the uber version was a treat! (The uber bars are more salty and sweet than the originals).

Good Eating Salads Recipe Book – Value $9

I like that this is a little recipe book – it won’t take up much space in the kitchen, but hopefully will prevent me from preparing the same salad every night this summer!

California Olive Ranch Olive Oil Packs – $1.50

These will definitely come in handy for packing a salad for lunch!

TeeChia High Performance Super Seeds Cereal in Cinnamon Cranberry – Value $10

I think this cereal has almost every superfood in it: chia, flax, quinoa, pumpkin seeds, and that’s just half the ingredient list!

Verdict: I’m really happy with the May Bestowed Box! I paid $19 for this box, and received about $30 worth of healthy goodies in return!  Have you signed up for Bestowed Box yet? What was your favorite product from the May box?

For the June Maven subscription boxes, Julep will be introducing their DD Cream and Concealer. I have been waiting for these makeup items for months, and I can’t wait to try them out!  FYI – we’ll know exactly what will be in each box (nail polish colors, etc) on May 20th.

If you haven’t updated your beauty profile yet – definitely make sure you do before these boxes ship. They will be selecting the shade of DD Cream and Concealer you receive based on your beauty profile settings. Are you excited for more Julep makeup products?

Also, if you haven’t signed up for Julep yet – use coupon code FREEBOX to get your first Maven box for free!

Olfactif is a new subscription service that sends you 3 niche fragrances to sample each month.

The Cost: $18 a month (save more with an annual subscription)

The Products: 3 perfume testers to sample and $18 credit to spend at their shop on any of the full-sized versions of the perfumes you sampled.

What do you think of Olfactif? Personally, I’m never too thrilled about the fragrance sample in other beauty subscription boxes when it is something I could easily pick up at a department store, but I checked out the perfumes they offer and I’ve never heard of any of them. This might be a great way to sample fragrances I normally wouldn’t come across. 

The hol BOX is a new holistic lifestyle subscription box. I found one picture on their website of what a typical box might contain:

The Box: The hol BOX

The Cost: $25 a month (via PayPal)

The Products: The holBOX is a monthly subscription service specifically geared toward women featuring 5–7 sample products. Included are products for the body, hair, mind and household, which the company selects after sampling and verifying that a product lists organic/natural ingredients toward the top of its label, offers holistic benefits to user and is sold in stores/online.

What do you think of the holBOX? I definitely want to try it out!

I love that this company only uses organic ingredients – and this orange honey combination smells amazing!

Rituals By Nature Magick Skin Balm – Value $7.50

Rituals by Nature is a new brand to me, but after using the lip balm and body balm – I’m definitely going to become a regular customer. I just love the scent of these products, and the fact that they are made from wholesome ingredients! I even took a picture of the ingredient list – I was so impressed!

Cherry Rose Green Tea from Elmwood Inn Fine Teas – Value $10.50

Confession – I get a lot of tea from subscription boxes. So typically I just don’t get excited for tea. That all changed when I opened this tube to check out the tea. This the best tea I’ve ever had – the scent alone is phenomenal. You can definitely tell they use quality ingredients simply by looking at the bag:

So, I didn’t think it was possible, but Our Local Box got me excited about tea again!

Verdict: I am seriously in love with Our Local Box - the value is more than the cost of the box (this box has $32 worth of items), plus everything included is a top-quality local find that I normally would never come across. What do you think of Our Local Box?

Mindy Kaling’s Questions I Ask When I Want to Talk About Myself – Value $15

I have Mindy’s book on my summer reading list, and I can’t wait to read these cards as well! I absolutely love the floral prints too!

Kooriginal Giselle Mid Brim Hat – Value $25?

What a perfect item for a May subscription box – I love this floppy hat!

I use my beauty blender everyday (thanks for getting me hooked Birchbox!) so having an extra and a full size cleanser is amazing. I highly recommend beauty blender if you haven’t tried it yet!

Verdict: May’s POPSUGAR Must Have box is definitely one of my all time favorites. I love the product selection and the value – definitely worth the $35 I paid for it! (I might even like this box more than the Summer Fun Limited Edition box!) What did you think of the May box?

This is such a clever idea for an apron – I might save it and make it part of an upcoming housewarming gift!

Verdict: I’m really happy with May’s Fancy Food Box. Between me and my boyfriend, every product will go to use. I paid $39 plus shipping for this box, and the value was $60 - definitely a win for me! What did you think of the Fancy Food box this month?

I love Anastasia brow gel, and I’ve been meaning to buy more – this was a perfect timing!

(This was a bonus add-on item for referring two people). I’m really excited to try this eyeshadow. I’m not very adventurous when it comes to eyeshadow, so I’m happy that this sparkly shadow comes in a neutral shade.

Verdict: I paid $10 for this bag and received nearly $75 worth of high-quality beauty products – and I’ll use every item! I don’t think the May Ipsy bag could get any better! What did you think of the May Ipsy Glam Bag?

Little Passports is a subscription box for kids that supplies all the fun and activities needed to explore new countries! They were kind enough to send me a box to review. This box is the first box you recieve in the World Explorer subscription (Best for kids 5-10). They also offer a USA Edition (best for 7 -12 year olds).

Also, I can’t get over how cute this little “suitcase” is:

In the first month, you get this suitcase with activities, and then every subsequent month, you receive additional activities, souvenirs  etc.

The Box: Little Passports

The Cost: $11.95 a month or less with 3, 6, or 12 month plans

COUPON: Use code 40Box to save 40% off your first box with the monthly subscription plan!

The Products: Every month, follow our characters Sam and Sofia as they embark on a new country adventure. Your first month’s Explorer Kit arrives in a suitcase and contains everything your child needs to get started: a letter from Sam and Sofia, a map, a passport, stickers, access to online games and more. Country specific packages filled with fun souvenirs, letters, stickers, photos, activity sheets and more arrive every month thereafter.

First out of the box is a photo from Sam and Sophia (your tour guides) and a passport. Inside the passport is a place to collect stamps and stickers from every country you “visit” plus fun questions to answer:

This boarding pass is perfect to put on your suitcase – and it also has a secret code to access online games at Little Passports!

They also include worksheets in each box to help expose children to new languages and cultures.  On this worksheet they go over country capitals and how to say hello in different languages.

The starter box also included a giant map to use to track Sam and Sofia as they travel the globe in upcoming months!

Verdict: I think Little Passports is such a wonderful kids subscription – there’s a lot of learning, but they keep it fun. Plus – what kid wouldn’t love collecting stamps in their passport and souvenirs in their suitcase? Also, it’s one of the more inexpensive subscription boxes for kids I’ve  come across – and with the coupon code 40Box you can get the first box for a little over $7. I will definitely be gifting Little Passport subscriptions to my cousins for upcoming birthdays! Do you subscribe to Little Passports? What do you think of the service?

One of the toughest choices I make each month is selecting which Blissmo Box I want! I was immediately drawn to the Gluten-Free Snacks option, but after reading that the AKA Travel Kit will have over $60 worth of product – I had to pick that box!
