Hi everyone! Over the weekend, the Subscription Boxes Queen took over and introduced you guys to a new subscription service, Pretty Fix Collections. Read my initial thoughts on the brand over here.
This May debut box is soooo heavy. While I canvassed the worthiness of getting the May and June back-issues, I tried my best to forget about the samples 2.5 seconds later so I could still be surprised when the boxes arrived :P
Pleased with the quick service, I was inspired to take my light box out and shoot these babies during the daytime- a first! I hope you notice the photos are a little brighter. LOOOVE MEEE.
The Collection arrives in a foldup box which completely draws out the unboxing process. I was practically foaming at the mouth by the time I was pulling out the third item!
What I'm Most Excited About:
And here, I talk about the stuff I like from the box, in the order I like 'em. I hope people notice that I rank the goods, unlike most unboxing posts that simply feature the samples according to the order listed in the curation card!

| Pretty Fix May 2013 Collection |
As with BBT tradition, I talk about the actual box on my first unboxing post. The box is a little longer than the BDJ and Saladboxes. Its material is a fibrous, crease prone cardboard which takes away a little bit from the presentation but at least the whole thing is wrapped in cling plastic :)

The Body Shop Peppermint Smoothing Pumice Foot Scrub, 15ml
|
I'm not normally into body care products but I like doing my own spa treatments at home :) I don't appreciate how typical salons exfoliate my foot to death, so I hardly ever get that service done. With this pumice foot scrub, I can control how much work gets done on my feet AAAAND I get to do something relaxing when I'm too stressed out. The peppermint kick should amp up the spa vibe!
 |
The Body Shop Amazonian Lily Shower Gel, 60ml
|
Again, not normally into body care products but it's been a while since I last used a shower gel. I like how it smells, kind of like vegetation with a little bit of a sweet, floral undertone. Think cucumber melon with hints of floral in it :)
I'm just gonna have to find a loofah because I really don't get how people use shower gels bare-handed. Doesn't it take them thirty billion hours to lather up?

Silicon Access Card and Key case
|
I have absolutely no use for this as I'm not issued any access cards but I like clever little trinkets and this is just soooo adorbs! Smithers, purchase a penthouse for me! I'd like to find a purpose for this access card case.
Fantasies aside, people working or living in well-equipped establishments will completely find this handy-dandy.

| The Face Shop The Smim Radiating Moisturizing Cream, 1ml sample |
 |
| The Body Shop Rainforest Radiance Shampoo and Conditioner, 60ml each. |
I'm not super excited about these samples but thank God they are a set and smell really nice. Well, the shampoo smells a little like gummy bears but I couldn't get anything off of the conditioner. I have no idea how these will perform and I'm hoping they'll smell excellent in the shower as I'm really in love with overpoweringly good-smelling bath products :)
Other Stuff in Here:
This is an empty list. I liked everything!
RECAP:
For a Php 599 fee, I got six samples out of the debut box. Four of it comes from The Body Shop. I don't know if that's an intentional gimmick or an unforeseen limitation but whatever the reason may be, you all know I love branded/themed boxes! Another plus: I absolutely love that all of them are full-size or premium samples and there's only one tiny sachet in the bunch.
I think the value of this box exceeds the subscription fee but without a curation card, I just don't know by how much. I tried researching these prices online but couldn't find anything.
Most of the subscription boxes I know started out with a bang but I think PFC is distinctly chock-full of premium-to-full size items, and they show no signs of slowing down. Don't let this Facebook operation fool you; looks are completely deceiving. I am absolutely loving this new subscription and can't wait for my July Collection! I think PFC and I will have a long and happy relationship :)
