December’s Espionage Cosmetic’s BOOM!Box is here! The theme this month was, “Candyland,” so the box is filled with all sorts of candy-themed goodies from a peppermint print scarf to sweet lip balm, a bath bomb, and even a fancy chocolate in addition to the nail wraps and art print, all courtesy of Princess Sparkle Hooves. This month may make it into my top 3 favorite BOOM!Boxes so far, it’s just that good, and the theme is carried out so perfectly. Plus, who doesn’t love a box full of candy-themed goodies?!
The nail wraps are up first! On the left is, “Moar Dots!” These have a pretty neat pearl finish (I think that’s a brand new thing for EC!) and are reminiscent of those candy buttons that come on a paper strip. On the right is, “Oishii Treats,” which are pretty pastel nail wraps covered in all kinds of goodies. Both wraps fit the theme perfectly and will be fun to wear.
Next up, from Apothecary Noir come Frost Bitten Remedies, two lip balms in delectable flavors. One is Chocolate Orange flavored and the other is Cotton Candy and both smell positively amazing. I’m a total lip balm junkie, so these are going straight into my bag for a sweet treat for my lips this winter.
Another item from Apothecary Noir is this Jawbreakin’ Bath Bomb in, “Sweet Berry,” which is a sugary sweet, berry scented bath bomb. It’s just too perfect, wrapped in cellophane and colored to look like a Jawbreaker, another completely on point item. Our room for an upcoming vacation comes with one of those big, fancy jacuzzi tubs, so I get to use this in just a few weeks!
I received the green apple version of the ginger bread man chocolate truffle from The Truffle Cottage. WOW is it amazing! The outer shell is filled with a sugary sweet green-apple flavored creamy filling (you know I had to try it.. for science), and it is so, so good. The company also makes all kinds of nerdy chocolates, so I have to keep them on my radar for future gift giving.
A BOOM!Box exclusive in this box is the, “Simply Mint to Be Scarf,” in a fun peppermint candy print. I’m already dreaming up uses for this since I happen to have dyed the ends of my hair red and this will match perfectly. The scarf is 28″ across and is square, so it’ll make a great headband if I fold it over a few times, or I can use it around my neck for a pop of color with a plain top. I know I’ll get tons of use out of this!
And last (but not least!), this lovely print by Miss Mandible Designs. I believe that’s Queen Frostine from the Candyland game with her snowflake sceptre, standing in front of ice cream cones with peppermints in the corners, as if she’s taking a peaceful walk through her candy kingdom. It’s a beautiful print, and I know I say it every month, but I do need to get my tush in gear and get frames for all these great prints!
It’s definitely a great value for the cost which is $30 per month. The two nail wraps put us at $20 already, and that’s not even half of the box’s contents, so the value far exceeds the cost. The best part of this box, to me, is how perfectly the items line up with the theme – every last detail is just right every time, and I honestly love everything in every box. This one may be the sweetest box yet! (sorrynotsorry, it had to be done!) In case you’re thinking about subscribing and want to send me some love, hit up my referral link!
