Rainbow Honey Mystery Bag is a lovely subscription from an indie nail polish company that sends you 6 products (usually three nail polishes and 3 beauty care like lotion, lip balm, cuticle oil, etc.) per month. It's 10$/month for the mini and 25$/month for the large size. I opt for the mini since I never ever finish a nail polish so I thought it would be a better deal for me. Shipping is free for US and 6.95$ for Canadians. There's also new options available for the subscription; you can opt for only beauty products or only nail care products. Since I like the variety, I decided to keep things status quo.
Here's what the package looked like this month:
First, we have our nail lacquers:
Just Sugar Coat It! is a shiny iridescent glaze with holographic glitters. It mentions that it's to add depth to any manicure. I tried to make this opaque but after two coats, it wasn't opaque and it was also quite thick so I left it at that. I think this would be better as a topper.
Underwater World is a glitter topper filled with different sized and colored stars and speckles. It is quite lovely and applies really well; surprised I did not have to fish for any stars, as they readily come out.
Although these are really nice, I am a tad disappointed in a few things.
1- The size of the lacquer was considerably smaller than previous bags at 5ml (instead of 7.5ml). Rainbow Honey confirmed the larger containers would be back for next month.
2- We got two toppers and no actual stand-alone nail polish. I'm not used to that. We usually get at least one stand-alone nail polish per month. Is this an oversight on their part?
3- A tad disappointed to see another perfume in the bag. Yes I like perfume... maybe it's just have too many subscriptions on the go and ALL have given me perfume oils in the last boxes...BUT Rainbow Honey has pretty much included a perfume oil with almost every single bag lately. They have other awesome products...was personally hoping for scented topcoat or lotion. Oh well.
Way Cooler Body Mist smells like a "refreshing blend of pears, quince and acai berries. It does smell very nice and I will be getting some use out of it.
Vanilla Plains Cooling Gel is soooooo awesome I am thrilled to have it in my possession: it smells just like vanilla cake and seriously one of my favorite smells in the whole world. No complaints here; keep the vanilla products coming!
Chocomint Valley Soap Bar is two small paraben free chocolate mint soap bars that smells so awesome and so strong, I could smell it through the envelope. Came with a disclaimer that it's not edible; well good thing because it's true to the fragrance of the real thing.
There you have it! As always, I welcome any questions or comments.
