I love the fresh design of this subscription's packaging. This pocket holds a bunch of cards that serve as the information cards for the box.
There are cards for each individual product. On the back, there are cute designs like the one above.
And on the front of each card, there are detailed descriptions of the products and even special offers!
There's also a card listing all of the items and their values...
And information about the wines in the box.
Pure Cosmetics 3D Fiber Lash Mascara - Retail Value $30.00
Big, bold lashes are one of my favorite holiday party accessories, so I was excited to see this two-step kit in the box. In addition to a regular tube of mascara, there's also a tube of lengthening "fibers". Essentially, you sweep the first coat of black mascara over your lashes, then a coat of the fibers (which cling to the mascara and make lashes look longer), followed by another coat of black mascara to seal the fibers down. The fibers are such a strange product to work with! The brush is basically dry—it's kind of like a little spool of very fine, short hairs. They definitely make your lashes look fuller, but not as naturally as I would've liked. The mascara, however, did a nice job of making my already-dark lashes look bolder and more pronounced.
Violet & Brooks Mosaic Crystal Earrings - Listed Value $28.00
Ooo, I like these dime-sized earrings! They've got plenty of twinkle thanks to all of their rhinestones, plus the gunmetal and diamond color palate gives them a more modern vibe that I'm into. I couldn't find these specific earrings, online, but I did notice that some of this brand's pieces made Oprah's Favorite Things list! If you're not into these earrings, I bet they'd make a great gift for a fashionable friend.
I threw the earrings on so you could get an idea of scale. I'd also just tried on the lash kit treatments, so you can see how they impact my otherwise makeup-free eyes!
Hallmark Home Holiday Cheeseboard - Retail Value $25.00 (Found here for $20.00)
What a cute idea for a holiday cheeseboard! This wooden pine tree comes with a cheese knife that looks like an axe—it even rests neatly in a groove at the tree's trunk. I like the playful vibe of this piece. The patterns in the tree (I can't tell whether they're burnt in or stained...) are super cute, too. This is another item that'd make a great gift if it's not up your alley!
World's Softest Cozy Low Socks - Retail Value $9.99, Listed Value 9.00 (Found here for $8.99)
Part of me is like, oh, meh, socks. But especially when it's chilly out, I looooove a pair of super snuggly socks. These chenille socks are fuzzy, cozy, soft, and not so warm that I'll kick them off in bed at night. The snowflake pattern is a bit holiday specific, but I can see myself scooting around the hardwood in these long into February!
CST Treats Toffee and Biscotti - Listed Value $11.00
Mmm... I love biscotti. Sometimes it can be a little on the dry side, so I was delighted by how cookie-like (rather than rock-like) these two-bite bits were. They had a lovely light almond flavor and subtle sweetness, not to mention a kick of chocolate from the drizzle. Toffee is a little less my thing, but I appreciated how rich and toasty these bits were. My one bite instantly got stuck in my teeth (hey, that's what toffee does), so I took a sip of coffee right after—an unintentionally delicious move that I highly recommend!
The combo in this box seems a bit different than what CST Treats sells in their shop, so I'll go by the listed value of these goodies to value them.
2015 New Crush Pinot Noir - Retail Value $19.99
Onto the wines! The first is a pinot noir that has a lot of mushroomy, raisin-y flavor. It's light on the palate, though, unlike a hefty Cabernet. While this wasn't my favorite red, it's definitely friendly enough to enjoy during a cozy night on the couch watching holiday movies with pals.
2014 Night Vine Chardonnay - Retail Value $27.99
I've been getting very into Chardonnay lately, and examples like this are why. This white wine is velvety smooth and gently sweet. It's got a vanilla-ish nature to it, plus a hint of tartness that keeps me going back to sip more. Yum!
The Verdict: I feel like I got a good deal of holiday surprises out of this box! The quality of each item was really nice—the goodies were tasty, the earrings were really pretty and solidly made, and the mascara did a nice job. The red wine wasn't impressive (though I really liked the white wine), but it was still a nice treat that saved me a trip to the wine shop. I also appreciate that most of the items in the box were good enough to regift if I didn't feel like keeping them myself.
