Bless Box has gotten a recent makeover with their box, and an info booklet that comes along with it.

There's always a letter from Sazan as well.
There are descriptions for all of the included products as well as a "Saz Tip" for each.
From here, the content changes from month to month.
There are two pages of self-love tips.
How to build your own charcuterie board.
A makeup tutorial using the Maybelline Python Lip Kit.
Sazan's husband Stevie writes a recap of their love story.
Lastly, there are social media photos and a teaser for next month.
Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil in Candy, 0.09 oz. - Listed Retail Value $10.40 (Buy 0.1 oz. bottle for $26)
I was pleased to receive this since I saw that Jessica had it listed as her February favorite (from another box). This is a pretty unique product since it's a moisturizing oil, yet has subtle color as well. However, I personally would say it's more like a lip gloss due to its consistency. It's not particularly sticky, but like a gloss, my hair would def stick to it on a windy day and I normally shy away. The pale pink shade is nice though and it smells very much like candy. Since I'm not a fan of the way it feels, I just leave it on for a while and then take it off and it still helps keep my lips really soft and prep them for a matte lipstick.
Love & Toast Body Wash in Honey Nectar, 8.2 oz. - Retail Value $8.49
This body wash wasn't listed in the info booklet, so I'm going to assume it's a replacement for the Maybelline Eyeshadow palette that was listed, but not included. It smells really nice and is made without a bunch of harsh ingredients that you don't want in something you use all over your body. My skin felt clean and soft afterward.
Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in Lover - Retail Value $9.49 (found here for $7.89)
This was another item not listed, but Sazan mentions sending a "surprise item from a past box", so this may be it because I received this same lipstick but in a different color in the December Bless Box. As I mentioned then, they are NOT kidding about this being SUPERstay. You better like this color because it is not. coming. off. I again wore this all day, through eating a quesadilla (as one tends to do), drinking a margarita, and generally living my life. This color seemed to start to get a little dry and gross though after all that time, so I would suggest reapplying just to keep it from feeling cakey. The color though? It will never actually leave you. Swatches are at the bottom of the review.
Ella + Mila Nail Polish in Berry Much in Love - Retail Value $10.50
I recently got rid of ALL of my nail color (which was a lot) because I rarely paint my own nails anymore. Since having acrylics, I always wait until I need a fill to get a color change. I do love this color though and it matches the Superstay Lipstick really well. This is a nice deep dark mauve/berry color and two coats were super solid. I didn't even bother to use a top coat and it didn't chip for the week I had it on.
They've included a code for 20% off as well.
HUM Nutrition Raw Beauty Green Superfood Powder in Tahitian Vanilla and Berry, 0.28 oz packet - Buy an 8.5 oz container for $39.00
I don't usually mess with powder supplements, but they've sent a sample packet of the HUM Nutrition Raw Beauty Superfood that is meant to help boost your metabolism and make your skin radiant. My metabolism isn't what it used to be, but I am lucky to be blessed with naturally great skin. This is recommended to add to a smoothie, so I may keep it around until my next Home Chef arrives (with said smoothies). The photo in the booklet shows 2 packets, but I only received one so I'm unsure how they arrived at the $5.00 listed for this.
Pur-lisse Blue Lotus 4-in-1 Eye Adore Serum, 0.24 oz -Listed Retail Value $33.00 (Buy a 0.5 oz bottle for $58.00)
Getting older can make your skin start to not look as fresh as it once did, especially around your eyes. This little tube boasts that it will help with not 1, but 4 things that will help your eyes look more amazing. It has intensive hydration, it firms, it brightens, and it decreases puffiness. My main problem is my dark under eye circles, but I could use more hydration as well. I look forward to seeing some results from this!
Maybelline Python Metallic Lip Kit in Passionate - Retail Value $9.99 (Buy it here for $7.99)
Ooh, a lip kit you say. This little compact has two different colors for your lips to use together to give them a metallic look that adds depth. The first one is a deep saturated red cream that I rather like on its own. The next one is a metallic red powder that you dab over top with your fingertip to achieve a more enhanced look.
It's honestly kind of hard to see on my lips here, and I had a bit of trouble applying it properly without the help of an applicator. Next time, I'll have to grab a lip brush to help! Check out the swatches on my arm below to see it up close.
Here are swatches for each of the two lip kit colors, then the two together. Next is the lip oil, then the superstay lipstick.
True Lemon in Raspberry Lemonade, Pack of 5 - Buy a pack of 10 for $1.99
Ugh- I want to like little "on-the-go" flavor packets like this but they almost always have sugar substitutes in them, which I can't handle. This tasted good for a few seconds while drinking it, but then the Stevia aftertaste ruined it for me. I just can't do it! I'll note that the listed price for this one is waaaaay off.
They sent a coupon as well.
NuFace Prep-N-Glow Cloths, 1 Cloth - Retail Value $2.00 (Buy a pack of 5 for $10.00)
I'll be honest, at night I rarely do a full routine like I do in the morning to cleanse and fully moisturize my face. I normally just use makeup wipes (if anything) before my head hits the pillow. This is great for travel, or when you're feeling lazy so you can make sure you're cleansing without going all out.
Melinda Maria Amari Mini Necklace in Rose Gold - Retail Value $48.00 (Gold color linked in name)
I actually like this little necklace! It's simple and delicate so it can be worn with a camisole or even over a chunky sweater. I also quite like the rose gold color (which sadly isn't available on their site). The chain is a perfect length that isn't too short but not incredibly long. I can wear this alone or layer it if I want more going on.
That Rosy Feeling Print - Listed Retail Value $10.00
Another print. Personally, unless it's by an actual artist that I like, I'm never going to put a small glossy print like this up anywhere. They list the value as $10.00, but I'm not really seeing that price in this. Just seems like filler to me.
Verdict: For $37.49 after shipping, Bless Box sent me 11 items with a retail value they say has a total of over $150.00, but the values here are kind of all over the place. Overall, it has a great value seeing as though the necklace alone more than pays for the box, but it just seems like a reoccurring thing for the listed values of this box to be inflated. That being said, I liked the beauty products, and the necklace, so this box is still worth it for me.
