Disclaimer: This blog post contains a crap ton of affiliate links.

I don’t try to hide that I use affiliate networks and links on my blog. But I would have never thought I’d get to try another type of “subscription” box from an affiliate network.

The Bonus Box by Rakuten Affiliate Network is totally free and they only select 50 affiliates to receive it!

What is the Bonus Box?
A quarterly collection of samples from some of the Rakuten Affiliate Network advertisers.

This past weekend I did my first Periscope sesh and unboxed my Bonus Box. I don’t want to double dip by just telling you what the contents are, so this is also what I think of each of them.

Even though I don’t live in the green mountain state anymore, this is now the softest tee shirt I own. LookHUMAN has tons of other clever tees and tanks. Seriously, SO many…

The Ole Henriksen vitamin C complex is a product that I would seriously hoard samples of any chance I got. Part of why I even tried to get my hands on the Bonus Box was because of a sneak peek they shared on Instagram of the box. I knew exactly what it was and wanted it. Bad.

The other two products were a bonus. Nice to have, they work great, but I could live without them.

Even though I will never purchase Birchbox Man for the manfriend again. Ever. I still like getting samples to make him try. I really like the way that Lacoste L!ve smells. I can’t describe as anything other manly.

If oily bothers you then I don’t know that this Nourish Organic cream-to-oil skin solve is for you. But if you’re like me and hate having dry skin it’s worth it! I won’t be keeping this in my purse (for fear of accidentally not closing it properly and getting everything greasy), but I don’t really have to because it works that well. I recommend for use before bed, but that’s my personal preference.

While TATCHA Dewy Skin Mist feels very much like any other facial spray, it made my face look… Well, dewy. The spray looks milky, smells super fancy and spray lightly, but evenly.

I know if oil cleansers are still having a moment or not, but I’ve tried them and didn’t have the best experience. It was messy. With DHC that wasn’t the case at all!

Just a few drops got off the makeup that I forgot to clean off from the day before.

Rinse and you’re clean, not even the slightest bit of oily residue. 

This is a total bias, but the Laura Geller GlamLASH mascara was my favorite item in this box! I love mascara in general and was excited to try it. The wand doesn’t look like it does very much but don’t let it fool you. Zero clumps!

This keychain is cute. I would love to live in NYC someday, but until then this will hang on my inspiration board.

Overall this was an amazing box. I won’t know what to do with myself if I’m not selected for the Q4 Bonus Box…
