Wow,great box,better than the first one! I got lip pen in beautiful brown color with gold shimmer,so lovely! I will be using it a lot. Powder brush from Matis, high quality item. Huge package of herbs, high quality soap, 3 green tea infused cotton towels, notesbook, candies, perfume. Love,love,love! This box is a keeper. Considering a year subscription right now.

I'm sorry the pictures are not good quality, guys. I think there's something wrong with my camera. 
Here are pictures of my box and its contents:

Spoiler

And the products I got were:

Spoiler

Durance Marseille Soap with Olive Oil Omg this smells sooooo good! I love bar soap, and this one is full size, and I will most likely use it after my current bar. It costs $7.90 from Durance, according to the card. I'm really excited about this one!!

Couleur Calisson Mini Calissons These are those little snack things. They were alright. I liked the lemon in it. I tried one and let my sister and her girlfriend each try one. They didn't like them. But I still enjoyed the experience of trying some French candy!  The card says that these retail for $3. 

Le Panier Francais Provence French Herb Mix  I like the idea of this in my box, and it will most likely get used in my house, by my mom. I'm just kind of sad because when I first saw it, it looked like tea! xD My mom will use the herbs though most likely. I'm not really a fancy cook. Do you think I could make fancy ramen noodles with these herbs? But I don't mind it being in my box because I like food things and also bc French. My bag is full size, and it retails for $6.99.

Matis Powder Brush I love this! This brush is really soft. I hope it picks up powders well! I've never used anything from the brand Matis before, but this looks promising, so I'm excited to try it out! Also, French. The retail price for this is $15.50

Atelier Cologne Postcard (with Fragrance vial) My vial is Santal Carmin Cologne Absolue. Honestly, I could do without the postcard. xD BUT THE COLOGNE SMELLS SO GOOD! If I didn't have so many fragrances right now, I would think about buying a bottle of this. Maybe after I use up all of my samples and all of my deluxe samples. The card says that this retails for $3.00, but in my mind, I consider perfume/cologne samples just free. 

Oshibori Refreshing Towel  I can't wait to try these!!!! I am honestly so glad these are in my box right now! I don't know how they compare to muslin, and I've never tried muslin cloth, but I've been debating on buying muslin cloths from Birchbox for months, for washing my face. I'm glad I got these, because now I don't have to buy those ones! I hope these work well! The card says that they retail for $5.00, and there are three in a set. 


Sothys Sparkling Rain glitter (Silver) This is a silver loose glitter meant for eyes. I'm glad I got this extra too! I've been wanting a nice silver eye product for a while, but I haven't been able to search for any or buy any because I really try not to browse beauty websites or beauty aisles in stores anymore. Also, L'oreal discontinued this silver eyeshadow I used to always use. I hope this glitter can replace that eyeshadow! This is one of those products where I don't expect to get something like this, but I'm so glad I got it. This was my extra not listed on the cart. After last month's box, I've learned that I quite like the Sothys products I have so far, so I'm not worried. 

I agree that this box is way better than last month! I love this month's box!

EDIT: I just noticed that the Oshibori cloths are one-time use only, and you're supposed to toss them after using. Made me sad. I do have a $10 gift card for Birchbox, so maybe I'll just go ahead and get those muslin cloths.

Got my box and I am so happy with it! I thought the mix of items was especially nice. I didn't care much for the little sweets, but as someone said upthread, I was so excited to try something unique to France. 

My extra was a Sothy's 5ml creamy eyeshadow in the most gorgeous deep shimmery green. It's probably a tad too young for my 50 year old self, but that won't stop me from wearing it for a special night out! (I mean, what's the fun in being married for 25 years if you can't embarrass the husband in public now and then??) 

This was my first box; I had signed up too late to get the inaugural box, and then cancelled after seeing everyone's pictures of it

I am now thinking about resubbing..... I do love it, but I got this first one for 14. Trying to decide if it's worth 24. (I do think the value is there, just not sure if it's worth it to me, personally)

I'll probably go ahead and get the last two this year, at least.

I love Atelier colognes!  I just wish it wasn't so expensive. The scents are really so unique. Particularly the orange sanguine. :wub:

I unsubscribed to this box because I can't justify so many subscriptions with the amount of student loan debt I have. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> BUT it's always fun to watch what you guys are getting! This box definitely looks like a winner this month.

And for what it's worth, I would definitely use fancy herbs in my ramen noodles /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm so excited about the next box - the email I received said it was shipping on Monday.  :flowers:

 

[raisin]

I would subscribe to this box if it didn't include makeup or perfume. I have zero interest in receiving either one, but it looks like such a fun box.

 

[JolieFleurs]

@@raisin I get what you mean, because I have no interest in food or snacks, which this box usually has, but I have to say I have enjoyed it so far.

This sub seems to have a certain something, ( dare I say je ne cais quoi ?   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> ) that makes it fun. For me, it's kind of the penultimate of sub boxes... it gets me out of my comfort zone and does it with some flair!

 

[TheSilverNail]

I would subscribe to this box if it didn't include makeup or perfume. I have zero interest in receiving either one, but it looks like such a fun box.

lol, I feel just the opposite -- wish I could find a beauty box sub that was only French makeup and skin care items!  No interest in other doodads right now.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[JuliaGhostx3]

Anyone get shipping yet? I got the email that said it would be shipped Monday (today) and I haven't received one yet. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[PrettyAndWitty]

I didn't receive shipping either although I did receive the email from them last week stating that they would be shipping boxes out today. Dunno. I assume with a brand spanking new box like this one that there are a lot of variables that could throw shipping off. Hopefully they'll get them out tomorrow. A day late is no big deal to me compared to all of the Quarterly and PopSugar delays lately. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Patient me is totally understanding if it's a bit late, but the impatient me wants the box now, praying and begging to all of the higher powers that there is some Guerlain in there  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
