Contents of box with approximate retail value.
MaskerAide Hydrating Facial Sheet Mask. Value = $5.99

(3) Ban Total Refresh Cooling Body Cloths. Value = $0.30/ea.
small vial Harvey Prince Hello fragrance. Value = $0.56
Cattiva Precisione Waterproof Eye Liner. Value = $20.00
The total value of this month's box is $28.65. This box was way better than last months. I love me a good face mask and this one looks fun. I've heard about the cooling body cloths and I'm wondering how it works. Is it just that they are wet so they cool you down? Anyway with 100+ degree days in my neck of the wood I'm sure I'll use them. I've received quite a few H2O products in these boxes and I don't mind them. This is a cleansing gel which I can always use. I'm going on vacation soon so I may take it with me. I have a whole ton of little perfume samples but I do enjoy trying different ones and I love the ones that have the little spray tops on them. The Cattiva eyeliner is the high value item in the box but I'm not a fan of waterproof eyeliner because it either never comes off or smears when you don't want it to. Anyone have experience with this brand?
Verdict: This box was way better than last months. I'm very curious about the cooling cloths.
