Flat Notes Stationary – Graphique de France

An adorably packaged set of ‘thank you’ note cards and envelopes.

This is a lovely surprise this month as I love stationary and it is something completely different inside my Mommy Mailbox.

Skin Toner – Cultivar Organic Holistic Skincare

An organic skin toner cleanser, that helps balance sebum production for both too oily and too dry skin types. It helps prime skin for moisturizers and make-up, removes make-up, soothes over-stressed skin and helps minimize redness.

I cannot wait to try this facial cleanser. The packaging looks a little drab, but I think it will be a great product!

Hydrating Lip Balm – Wellsmith

A hydrating lip balm made without the use of dangerous ingredients you often find in other lip balms.

I use lip balm all the time, so when I saw this inside my box I was thrilled! I cannot get enough chap-stick and I love trying new ones.

Energy Breath Mints – Viter Energy

A breath mint packed with B-Vitamin Complex and caffeine that will also keep your breath fresh.

An interesting product I have not heard about energy boosting breath mints, I cannot wait to try it. Now I can have the caffeine boost without the calories in my specialty coffees. Good thing I read this description before I let my kids try these…:)

Enamel Pin Card – Fred & Far

Fred & Far have a mission to spread love to women everywhere. Their jewelry is a reminder to love yourself first. The future is bright and so are you.

All of their pins have an amazing powerful message. Not to mention that they are super cute and I love the rose gold colour!

Verdict: The April Mommy Mailbox was filled with some amazing different items than I have never seen inside my past boxes. Stationary is so hot right now, I was so excited to get this and it looks so cute! I cannot wait to spread my love for these cards by sending thank you notes to everyone, haha! The other unique item inside my box was energy breath mints, this is something completely new to me, I never even knew this type of product existed, but it may soon become my new go to calorie-wise caffeine boost. Thanks for another amazing Mommy Mailbox, I was thrilled with some completely new items this month as well as some great beauty favorites!

A natural, vegan, cruelty-free 6 step pedicure in a box. This set includes: Sea Salt Soak, Sugar Scrub, Mud Mask, Massage Lotion, Callus Remover and Finishing Moisturizer. I am so excited to try out this deluxe pedicure in a box. It is a must have for the end of winter!

Jersey Shore Cosmetics – Anti-Aging Lip and Hand Polish

$25.00

The perfect winter fix for dry hands. An all natural, vegan hand and lip exfoliator that gently removes dry, dead skin leaving your skin softer and younger looking. Another must have for winter. I have loved all for the Jersey Shore Cosmetics that I have tried thus far. This hand polish is amazing, my hands are so soft and look beautiful!

Verdict: We have had a long, cold winter in Canada and this box screams ‘bring on Spring’. I cannot wait to refresh my skin with all these amazing pampering products this month. I was so excited to see another one of my new favorite brands, Jersey Shore Cosmetics, in this box.

The value of this month’s Terra Bella Box is slightly more than the price of the box, but for us Canadian’s shipping definitely increases the cost and this month’s box might not have been the best value. Of course, when you think about the wonderful surprise you get each month, it is always worth more!
