Rainbow Honey Limited Edition Mystery Box for Mother's Day: Unboxing!

So I've returned from Europe now - I arrived late Tuesday night and to honest, man I've been MISERABLE. Is this some sort of post-travel depression or something? Anybody? Bueller? Nonetheless, I'll try to pick up a bit here. Upon my return, I got my Rainbow Honey order in, which is supposed to, you know, cheer a girl up. I also looked on their Facebook page and WOW, the once small little indie cosmetics company that started out on Etsy had to CLOSE THEIR STORE due to a lack of inventory. Is this not crazy or what? It's good news because it just means that Rainbow Honey is here to stay.

Here's an unboxing of the Limited Edition Mystery Box for Mother's Day. I didn't actually get this for my mother specifically (I know that makes me sound like a bad person but hear me out), but my mum and I share my nail polish collection and cosmetics in general. For example, whenever I get the Sephora annual birthday gift, I always give my mum the things she would use. Here's how the "mystery bag" came - it came in a lovely box, tied with a silver bow!

Rainbow Honey Limited Edition Mystery Bag - Mother's Day (French Lavender)

As you can see, I got the French Lavender variation! I love the Sakura Matsuri scent but honestly, I am SUCH a lavender fiend that I couldn't resist:

Upon opening the box, a card was on top of all the contents:

Overall, I would say this is a good bang for your buck mystery bag! I believe I paid $25 USD and seeing that two nail lacquers are typically $10 each, for $5, it came with all that extra stuff! Also, I can never live down the potential of not having a complete Rainbow Honey collection, so there's that too.

What did you end up doing for your mother for Mother's Day? My mom just got a measly long distance phone call from me from Cornwall - haha! But I'll have to find some nice potted flowers for summer soon enough.

    1. I'm going to have to try the soap! I keep forgetting it because I put everything away back into the box, haha. It's kind of why I like RH using the tissue paper for the subscription bags since everything has to be used or put away. Boxes get boxed again in my room!
