It's about that time again! The summer box starts shipping in May! Hopefully the brands page will be updated soon.

 
I think so! It's not one of the high value boxes, but I feel like it's worth what I pay for it. Plus I'm always looking for more natural and eco friendly items. I've found a few new favorites! The presentation is great and it feels like a smaller mom and pop type company, which makes me feel more inclined to pay the $33 (I think it's $33) for. It's definitely unique!

 
I just realized that we should be getting the Summer box soon.  I see I'm not the only person thinking about it.  Can't wait!  

 
I love yuzen box. Packaging is gorgeous. My first summer box, can't wait to see what they provide :)

 
Have any of you tried Saffron Rouge? I subscribed to that last month since I thought it might be a better value than Yuzen, but the Yuzen packaging looks so pretty! I'm contemplating switching to Yuzen from Saffron Rouge (also $25/month can get very expensive).

I have both.

Yuzen is very pretty and I love it, but I also love Saffron Rouge as well.  I like getting a monthly box. 

 
Yuzen was originally a monthly sub, but the owners decided it worked better quarterly. I think they felt they could curate better more original items if they weren't looking for items to fill a box monthly. I love the quarterly timing.  I can enjoy the products without feeling overwhelmed.

 
I just got my first Saffron Rouge and I was very happy with it!  I'm debating Yuzen and I know they release what's in the box (its not a surprise) which makes it easy to decide if I want it or not.  I passed on the Spring one but I'm hoping Summer will be so good I can't resist :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh, I am subbing for that!  I'm allergic to lavender but those will make GREAT stocking stuffers for my MIL.

I want the soap and the lash serum and the insect repellent and the skin toner and I'm sure I'll love mints :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

the insect repellant sounds almost like a perfume that I would want to wear!!

 
I just realized - the brand that makes the seaweed toner is the same brand that made the wonderful charcoal cleanser in the birchbox limited edition free for all box. 

I love that cleanser and plan to purchase a full size when I finish it.  Oh...now I am excited for this box!!  Can't wait to try out that toner

I looked up that insect repellant - omg - 65 bucks for 50ml.  They do consider it more than just an insect repellant!! lol

I hope we get a nice size of it - maybe the purse size version - which is 30.00?  I would hate to get a tiny perfume like sample of an insect repellant!!  It is a beautiful bottle (the 65.00 one - "Our custom 50ml bottles are made from the finest glass in the world, designed in the south of France, and are decorated with precious 24K gold" HAHAHAHA)

I am cracking up here...

Wow. This sounds fantastic... except I'm just starting a May no-buy. But this is just so so tempting. How long are these usually available to sub for?

 
THIS IS EXCITING!!! I absolutely love that Hugo soap, it is currently in my shower! I buy it frequently at Ulta. I am very sensitive to bar soaps but it isn't harsh at all and doesn't make me itchy like most soaps do. Plus is smells heavenly!

I have also been searching the interwebs lately for a brow serum!! My brows will NOT grow. Now I don't have to buy one!!

Also looking forward to the seaweed toner - I am just about out of both my Mario Badescu and Body Shop toners. THANKS @@biancardi for posting the contents!

 
I'm so interested in the bugspray! It sounds like the type of scent I like, and it's on Opensky/Abesmarket, which both regularly have 20-30% off sales.  If I like it as a perfume, then I can totally see myself buying it!
