Malin + Goetz Detox Face Mask – I love a good face mask, but I had no idea just how cool this one would be. When I first applied this lotiony-looking substance, it seemed like your typical emollient mask, but 2 minutes in my skin started crackling and bubbling, like a bunch of firecracker candy popping on my face all at once! Sounds totally crazy, but it wasn’t an unpleasant sensation at all; if anything it felt a little tickly 🙂 Too early to say if it’s effective or not, but it sure is fun! The mask comes in a tall 4oz pump bottle, so there’s enough product to last a while.
The Juice Generation Book – I haven’t tried the juicing trend yet, because it’s a pain to clean my juicer, and because it’s so huge it takes up a lot of counter space. I think I’m going to use these recipes for smoothies, because they sure sound delicious 🙂 Does anybody have a good healthy smoothie recipe to share? I’m open to suggestions.
Jack+Lucy Tech Gloves – I know some people probably didn’t care about this one, but I don’t have a pair of tech gloves, so I was happy to finally try them. They work really well with my Nexus, but I read a few negative comments on Facebook where people said they couldn’t get them to work with iPhones. Not sure how Apple screens are different from other smartphones, but that’s something to keep in mind.
Rifle Paper Co. 2014 Flip Around The World Desk Calendar – I love this company for their cutesy paper things, but a desk calendar would have probably been the last product I wanted to try from them. I mean, I’d even be okay with something like paper napkins, I just simply have zero use for a flip calendar. Someone suggested cutting out the artwork and framing it, which is probably what I’ll end up doing.
Pipsnacks White Truffle Pipcorn – Aww, so that’s what baby popcorn looks like 🙂 I don’t normally care for popcorn, but that white truffle flavor lured me in. I must say, the kernels are not evenly coated, and I had some totally bland pieces and some were bursting with truffle flavor. Overall, I thought it was delicious, and definitely tasted better than most other brands of packaged popcorn, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to purchase more.
Revlon by Marchesa Box of Files – I’m very familiar with these pocket nail files, I actually own the same type with some kind of tropical theme printed on them. They don’t work as well as normal-sized files, but their tiny dimensions make them perfect to stash in your pockets, purses and makeup bags so you are never without one 🙂

THE VERDICT
I’m undecided about this box. On one end I got to play with that fun M+G mask, that I would have never in a million years discovered on my own. I also got a pair of much-needed tech gloves, so I can use my phone comfortably even when it’s cold outside. On another end I have this super cute but totally useless to me desk calendar, and Revlon box of files that I already have a bunch of. I still have 6 more months left on my subscription, so we’ll see how that goes.
