Products

Everyone Loves Coloring Flowers Coloring Book

I thought this item was just so cute! Adult coloring books seem to be getting more and more popular and coloring flowers is my favorite thing. So many options!


Here are a few peaks inside the book.



Live Life In Color Colored Pencils

I love that they included colored pencils in this box since they had a coloring book. Means you can get started right away with the coloring book! And it has a sharpener on the top which is an even bigger plus.


Be A Fruit Loop Mug With Spoon

I absolutely loved this mug when I saw it! My husband and myself started drinking herbal teas since my stomach has been on and off over the months and so we are always looking for fun mugs. And I LOVE the spoon. Sadly my 15 month old daughter stole it and placed it under a blanket and my husband accidentally stepped on it and broke it. Oh well. Such is the life of living with a baby. I still really love the mug!


Designed Joy Everything Pouch 

I think this was the surprise bonus item since I don't see it on the item card. I LOVE the colors of this bag. I will be using it as phone holder in my gym bag full of swimming stuff. So so cute.



Swanky Sweet Pea Bath Bomb

I loved the smell of this bath bomb. However I don't use these so I will be gifting it to someone. Hopefully they like it!


Eye Majic Instant Eye Shadow

To be totally honest this product made me laugh. I am fairly positive it won't look like the picture if I did it. I don't wear these colors ever but I gave this to my sister because I thought she would have fun trying it.


Pretty In Pink Ultra Slim Portable Power Bank

I was very happy to see this! And I think it might be another surprise item? I think I accidentally got two. I didn't see this charger on the info card. But I NEED one of these because my phone is always dying so this is a great item for me.




Final Thoughts

I didn't know how to price all of these things because they were hard to find on the internet. However I think Peaches and Petals is my favorite subscription box I am subscribed to so far. Their products were so cute and seem to be of good quality. And the things I couldn't use made for great gifts. 


If you like receiving fun lifestyle items each month this is the box for you!

Packaging

Everything arrives in a beautiful pink box.




And of course there is tissue paper inside. I love it!


And here are the cards that were in the box.





Products

Imogen "Regal" Layered Bracelet - $99

Each item comes in a box closed with a ribbon. Makes me feel all fancy receiving it! 


And here are the bracelets inside.



I really love these gold bracelets. I feel like I scored with this one because I can wear them separate OR together. So I really got TWO bracelets. I love that they aren't super fancy and can be worn with anything. 

The stone bracelet wasn't on my explanation card, so I don't know if I got it on accident or if was an extra free gift, but I really like it! Nice and simple.

Here are the bracelets on my wrist.



Zoe "Life" Interlocking Ring - $99

I thought this ring was very nice. I usually wear my rings on my ring finger, and this one was a littler large. In my profile I put size 7 so I don't know if this is just a large size 7 or if I sized myself wrong. It fits on my pointer finger perfect though so at least I can wear it there. I just need to get used to wearing a ring on that finger. But I love that it's silver!




Erin "Peace" Natural Stone Necklace - $99

This necklace is very simple very classy. It was hard to get the actual color of the stone to show. Its got a little more pink to it. It seems like a piece that will go well with pretty much anything.




Surprise Bonus Item

The bonus item was Talc-Free Mineral Wear Correcting Primer. I didn't care much for this because I honestly don't even know what to do with it. But I do like that they try and gift an extra item in each box. I gifted this to my sister who knows more about makeup than I do.


Final Thoughts

Everything in Cate & Chloe's shop seems to be about $99 so that's what I priced the ones I couldn't find at. I honestly think that pricing is ridiculous. I don't think I would ever pay that much for any of these, but I like that I got them with my box I paid less than $40 for. 


I liked all of the pieces. I also liked that I got one bracelet, one necklace, and one ring. That's what I was hoping to get when signing up for the three piece box. 

I can't wait to see what it is in my next box!

The Packaging

Here is the box everything is packaged in. It had twine wrapped around it with a sticker holding it in place but I accidentally deleted all of my original box opening photos so I just have a photo of the box. I am so sorry! It was way cute though I promise.




And here are the cards that were included in the box. 






This car was my favorite because it showed to me how much they appreciate their customers. This card was written for ME and explains why she picked these items for me.


According to the cards all of my items are from Venezuela this month.

The Products

Obsidian Necklace

All of their items are individually wrapped in small drawstring bags, which I just love. They are reusable and I feel like I am getting more than just the two jewelry items they send. The first item was this gorgeous drawstring bag.


Inside was an obsidian stone necklace. I love the gray markings on the black stone. I don't know what the metal type of the necklace is but I think it's gorgeous. I had to have my husband translate the card for me. I could get bits and pieces but wanted to make sure I was right before translating it to you. 

It says something along the lines of it being a gem of meditation, makes the good emerge from the one who carries it, protects against negativity, and that it is ideal for those whose sign is Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, and Aquarius.


And here is the necklace on display



Clay Necklace

Here is the drawstring bag that the necklace was packaged in.


And here is the beautiful necklace. I love the colors on it and I love that it looks so natural. The clay pendant is a little big, so it will take me some getting used to when I wear it, and I need to find something it will match with (I think I have a skirt it will work perfectly with now that I think about it). 



And here it is on display. The string is actually QUITE long. I had to adjust it so it could fit better on my display.



Surprise Item

My surprise item was this beautiful pouch that has a zipper on top. I will be using it as my new coin purse. I feel like I scored on this surprise item because...


...she included gummy bears in my pouch! I always love receiving tasty treats. So basically I got TWO surprise items ;)


Final Thoughts

WorldlyBox is definitely one of my favorite boxes. Their customer service is phenomenal and I feel like this box was tailored to me quite well. She mentioned on one of my cards that she saw I don't wear earrings and like necklaces and so she gave me two necklaces for my first box. I love that they pay attention to each customer's wants so well. I also told them I didn't like really beaded jewelry and so she did a great job of avoiding those for me.

I don't know how to price these items because they are so unique, which makes this subscription box all the more exciting.
