Contents: The Goodebox this month included 6 items (4 beauty items & 2 lifestyle extras).

| Unboxing the May 2013 Goodebox |
1. Health Warrior Chia Bar in Acai Berry, full size, 0.88 oz
This energy bar is free of gluten, dairy and soy, so it is appropriate for individuals who have allergies to those foods. Also, it is 100% vegan and natural. It comes in 3 flavors: coconut, acai berry or chocolate peanut butter. This bar will be placed in my purse for a quick boost of energy when I am in a rush.
How it works (from Goodebox info card):
2. Pure + Remedy Antioxidant treatment gel, deluxe sample, 0.125 oz
This antioxidant gel contains natural and organic ingredients. I am excited to try this treatment gel because it is supposed to help improve skin tone and texture.
How it works (from Goodebox info card):
3. Pure + Remedy peptide-rich serum, deluxe sample, 0.125 oz
This serum is targeted towards improving firmness and elasticity, which are not my top skin concerns. However, I will try this serum as I love trying facial serums and think that prevention of skin care issues is important.
4. The Natural Lip Scrub in Organic Orange, full size, 1 oz
I've never tried a lip scrub, so I am very excited to try this product. I appreciate that it is natural/organic and does not contain petrolatum or parabens. It comes in several flavors, including organic lemon and organic peppermint.
How it works (from Goodebox info card):
5. Shea Terra Organics Moroccan Argan & Wild African Honey Hydrating Facial Cleansing Elixir, travel size, 1 oz
How it works (from Goodebox info card):
"It's a mouthful, but well deserved. A simple, nourishing combination of pure, raw African acacia honey is cmobined with skin softening Moroccan argan oil for an apitherapy treat that breaks down dead skin cells and ultra-hydrates skin at the same time. Gently removes grime and dead skin without stripping."
6. VitaCare Mint & Pomegranate Whitening Gum, full size, 12 pieces
I am intrigued by this gum because it contains vitamins and calcium! I like that it does not contain parabens. It comes in 4 flavors: Mint & chia mint, Mint & key lime, Mint & pomegranate, and Mint & acai. VitaCare also makes toothpaste, mouthwash and toothbrushes - if I like the gum, I will keep an eye out for the toothpaste.

4. The Natural Lip Scrub in Organic Orange, full size, 1 oz
 |
| Full size cost: $20 for 1 oz Sample cost: $20 |
I've never tried a lip scrub, so I am very excited to try this product. I appreciate that it is natural/organic and does not contain petrolatum or parabens. It comes in several flavors, including organic lemon and organic peppermint.
How it works (from Goodebox info card):
"An organic & all natural lip product that exfoliates, conditions and plumps lip in one easy step! Use daily to eliminate flaky skin on and around the lips. With continued use you'll even notice a decrease in fine lines on and around the lips."
5. Shea Terra Organics Moroccan Argan & Wild African Honey Hydrating Facial Cleansing Elixir, travel size, 1 oz
 |
| Full size cost: $18 for 4 oz Sample cost: $4.50 |
I laughed when I saw this facial cleanser, because if you saw my stash of facial cleansers, you would know that a cleanser is the last product that I need. However, I do welcome this facial cleanser to my stash because it is all natural and does not contain alcohol. I think that the combination of argan oil and acacia honey will help keep my skin hydrated.
How it works (from Goodebox info card):
"It's a mouthful, but well deserved. A simple, nourishing combination of pure, raw African acacia honey is cmobined with skin softening Moroccan argan oil for an apitherapy treat that breaks down dead skin cells and ultra-hydrates skin at the same time.

Summary:
 |
| Total box value: $38.81 |
Verdict:
Size: I am happy that I received 3 full size products, 1 travel-size products, and 2 deluxe-size products.
Products: I have previously confessed that I am a skincare junkie. So, I was happy that the beauty-related items in my Goodebox were all skincare products. I am most excited to try the natural lip scrub. Goodebox markets itself as a subscription box for 'healthy beauty, personal care, wellness and/or sustainable living products' and promises 6-7 items in each box. Honestly, I was disappointed to find 2 food items and only 4 beauty-related items. However, I will use all of the products that I received and I like that I don't have to worry that these products include ingredients such as parabens, so I will continue with my bi-monthly subscription.
Value: Good - I paid $16 and received over $38 worth of products.
