Rainbow Honey April Mystery Bag: Unboxing!

Had to post this before I leave and before it disappears into the vast depths of irrelevance but here's the latest and greatest Rainbow Honey Mystery Bag! This is the first month that Rainbow Honey has offered "full size" mystery bags but I decided to opt for a "mini size" just in case something doesn't suit me and I would just buy ALL OF THE THINGS! for the stuff that I liked. Onto this month's reveal!...

As you can see, Rainbow Honey has decided to stick with the customized Mystery Bag large sticker seals. As I stated for last month's Mystery Bag, I really like this packaging because it's minimal and it gets right to the point - not a lot of waste or hoarding pretty packaging. Really like that. Upon opening, all the contents are in a secure bubble wrap pack.

And seriously JUST WOW! There is SO much stuff in this month's Mystery Bag - I love it! I hope all future Mystery Bags are this dense! So much stuff! Check it out:

Thank you again for being such a loyal fan!
Love, The Rainbow Honey Lab (see you next month!)

Here's a picture of the Rose Nectar lip balm. I love that it's the same size as a lighter, haha! I haven't seen this kind of shape before. The smell is quite nice but I haven't tried it just yet.

Here's the Rose Nectar mini rollerball. I can't get enough of these minis - I love them!

The disposable pigment applicators are packed in a cute compartment and are colourful! There's always colour everywhere with Rainbow Honey.

And here's the Sparkling Agave Cosmetic Pigment. I love the heck out of this colour but it looks awful with my Asian skintone alone! I would definitely have to mix it with some white or silver eyeshadow. I honestly don't use that much eye make-up so this is one reason why I am glad I stuck to the mini - would hate to see such lovely product go to waste! BUT LOOK AT THAT SHIMMER!

Here's the 10 nail art studs - honestly you can never have too many nail studs! I definitely prefer triangle or tear drop shaped studs but squares can easily be turned into diamonds... Hehe, anyone remember Diamond Shreddies? Haha!

Lastly, here's the polishes that came in the Mystery Bag and they are perfect for spring: Cameo 18, a neon pink creme; Stellar Treat, a glitter topper and All Your Base, Rainbow Honey's first basecoat.

Cameo 18 is a sunny weather ready neon pink. Not sure if i can pull this one off with my skintone but I definitely think I can with this one! I know it suggests to pair it with Stellar Treat but fuck that shit, I would top it off with Yoshimi!

Here's All Your Base!, a new basecoat from Rainbow Honey. I looooove the name but I am unsure if I would use this. I am a huge fan of Nail Envy but I would probably give this a shot!

And lastly, here's Stellar Treat - a pinkified version of The Soiree which was in last month's Mystery Bag!

Overall, I am REALLY excited about this month's mystery bag and am looking forward to the next one. Definitely a big bang for your buck at $10 for the mini Mystery Bag and now it's available as a subscription. One downfall is if you are Canadian (like yours truly), the shipping cost is $7 - so you're pretty much looking at about $20 for each mini bag after the currency conversion. Rainbow Honey is working to resolve this so hopefully we'll see a more easily accessible option in the future!

What do you think about this month's Mystery Bag? Is there anything in here that makes you wish that you got it in a full size?

  1. this bag is amazing and I am super tempted by the full size as well... i hope they figure out something cheaper for shipping although maybe not cause then I definitely couldn't say no!

    enjoy your trip!

    1. I think if I ever got the full size bag, I would just have to wait for it to come to Canada - $35 USD including shipping is just too much for now. It will happen eventually though, I hope it won't be too bad. I got nailed with a really bad customs fee on my last RH order so I've been pretty careful since.

      Thank youuuu!~ I'll be posting here and there when I can. :)

  2. THOSE NAILS! Daaaang they're fantastic <3

    I'm really impressed by the Rainbow Honey mystery bags, they seem well worth the money and I love how there's not just polish in them. Want! You can do rad things with loose pigment on nails too, btw :D

    1. Hehehe thank you!~~ I like them too and I rarely like any of the nail art I do! These sheer tints, damnit.

      Oh good call on the loose pigment - maybe this will make my gradient life a little bit easier? (Or harder? LOL.)

  3. Oh wow exciting!! I'd been thinking Rainbow Honey should offer them as a subscription. Definitely going to have to get on that.

    1. They're killing it lately. Even sold out of the May bags this month! My once-small favourite indie Rainbow Honey is now an empire of awesomeness!

    1. Once the Canadian favoured shipping comes into play, I think it'll be definitely worth it!
