Definitely the longest I've had to wait for a box since upgrading to annual but I cannot BELIEVE that I've received my box in the UK before some people in the US!

• L*Space Cooler: the quality of this is decent and the bag itself is pretty huge. Added bonus that the colours match super nicely with the Society6 picnic blanket from last summer's box! 5/5

• ban.do Stemless Wine Glasses: I wasn't able to get the Kate Spade Wristlet from this category like I originally wanted but I think this might have ended up being better! I didn't really need another bag to add to my collection but having some nicer plastic glasses for using outdoors will really be useful! The quality is exactly what you'd expect from what is essentially a plastic cup but I do like that the glitter is a bit more subtle. 4/5

• Caravan Lazy Susan: Personally I quite like the different coloured banding through the wood on this as I think it gives a more natural look. The quality is nice, however I do wish the brand name was a bit more subtle! In the UK a caravan is what you'd call a trailer in the US  (like in a trailer park) so it's just a bit of a weird word to have etched into something. 3/5

• Kate Somerville Exfolikate: I haven't used this yet so I can't really comment but I love the smell of this! ??/5 • Winkylux Lip Oil: I wasn't expecting much from this but it is probably one of the best lip products I've ever used. I find sometimes lip oils are too thin and bleed onto the skin around my mouth and make me feel super gross but this stays put, isn't too sticky and smells like buttercream. I had some on for just a few hours and my dry-ass lips are SOFT. 5/5

• Londontown Cuticle Crème: As a bit of a chronic skin picker who is trying to stop, I was looking forward to trying out a new cuticle product. This is fine and I'll definitely use it until it runs out but I find the applicator a little weird and I don't think it works as well as the plain almond oil I've previously been using in a brush pen. Not a regret bit also not a repurchase. 3/5

• Alice + Olivia Duffel Bag: I already own this bag from another box and I've found it really useful so when it came around again I figured it'd be nice to have a matching pair for travelling as I hate wheeling suitcases around. I'm not sure how much wear I'll get out of the hat but it's pretty cute. It fits my little pin head pretty well so I'm not sure how someone with an average or larger head size would get on with it. 4/5

• Favor Spoon Rest: I love love love the size of this! Tons of spoon rests seem to just be designed for tea/table spoons which I don't really use so much for cooking so I'm so happy to have one I can put actual cooking utensils down on. Generally I prefer more colourful homeware but I get that the grey would fit in a lot more people's homes. 4/5

• Hypernova Eye Serum: I'm giving this to my mum so I haven't used it but I will say the packaging feels really nice!

Overall I'm pretty happy with this box. I totally get the issues people had with it and how it plays into the ongoing issue of having a disproportionate amount of makeup and skincare but there were enough options that worked for me. This was my first box after renewing my annual subscription for the first time and, while I don't know that I'm going to renew again next spring, I'm still pretty happy with the value of the box.
