Little Lace Box: Serendipty, $10/month
I paid: $0
Box retail value: $16, My value: $16
Enjoyment Factor: ❤
Serendipity is a new subscription pouch from Little Lace Box (LLB). Little Lace box recently changed its model and will now be sending more expensive boxes every other month. They are now offering Serendipity as a subscription for the off months. It will consist of 5 to 7 sample-size and sometimes full-size items. Basically, they are deals they come across but can’t quite fit into their boxes. Subscriptions are $10 a month, but current subscriber to LLB will be getting Serendipity for free until LLB works out the kinks.
As it turned out, July’s Serendipity did not mail until August – one of their suppliers did not come through with an item they were planning to include. This is exactly the sort of kink that they need to work out, and it shows that they were very smart to test it out for free in their current subscribers.

As a regular LLB subscriber, I got the Serendipity items in the same box with the LLB items, those not subscribed to LLB got them in the regular pouch. This month the pouch included five items, though apparently new Serendipity subscribers also got the Ofra lip gloss the rest of us got last month. For the rest of us the pouch value was rather low, $16 but I was glad to get all the items. This is what I got:

Thank You! cards from einvite.com, 4 cards, $5
I’m not big on stationary or cards or fulfilling social obligations, but I should be. And these one-sided cards are just wonderful. They are cute, colorful, get the point across and should be fun to use. Indeed, I think I’ll swap for some more. I don’t thank people enough as it is.

Steep & Go Infuser for water bottles by The Tea Spot, $6
This is a plastic infuser/lid for disposable water bottles. Apparently it only works for Dasani and Evian bottles, but I haven’t tried it at all yet. I’m not a fan of iced tea or infused drinks in general, but my daughters are looking forward to trying it.

Malibu C Miracle Repair Hair Reconstructor, 1 .4 oz foil, $3
I usually have no use for any hair repair products, but my daughter severely damaged her hair by going swimming soon after we had bleached her hair, so she’s been trying lots of different deep conditioners/masks/repair products. This one, unfortunately, was a failure. Not only did it not miraculously repair her hair, but my daughter hated the licorice scent. We won’t be buying a full size one.
Update: My daughter tried this product and she was unimpressed. It didn’t do much for her hair
Chill Out Cold Infusion by The Tea Spot, 1 foil: .2 oz, $1.3
This is an organic hibiscus, peppermint and licorice mix. I hate licorice so I’m sure I won’t like this, but I’m sure one of my girls will eventually try it.

Mindful Minerals “Just Get Dirty” Dead Sea Mud Purifying Bar, 35 g, $1
This soap is made of palm oil, dead sea mud and water and it’s gently scented with eucalyptus oil. I’m a big fan of bar soap and I’m looking forward to trying this one. I’m not in love with the scent, but it’s mild enough.
