Hi
friends,
I was really looking forward to receiving my Eco Emi box this month but for some reason, this was not a really good one for me. I am a bit disappointed and I think this was the worst box sine I joined Eco Emi last December. It still has a good variety of samples - I guess that makes it an okay box, just not stuff I would care about...So let's see what I got!

I am a bit disappointed and I think this was the worst box sine I joined Eco Emi last December. It still has a good variety of samples - I guess that makes it an okay box, just not stuff I would care about...So let's see what I got!
A lot of food items, no bath product, two makeup items but those leave to
desire...keep reading!
VALENTI
ORGANICS
CARROT, GRAPEFRUIT & EGYPTIAN GERANIUM ROSE
CAFE MACHIATTO BODY OIL
From the
card: "Repair damaged skin with this energizing, anti-aging body
oil infused with organically grown coffee extract and vanilla essential oils
blended in a rich formula. This body oil smells so cozy and amazing and the
caffeine will help wake up your skin?"
This one really sounds like my
kind of scent since I love warm fragrances (patchouli, vanilla, etc.) I have
used body oils in the past and have enjoyed them, they can be a bit messy
though.
Since I am going on a trip at
the end of the month, I am definitely taking both samples with me!
CRAFTSMAN
SOAP
NATURAL
LEMONGRASS SOAP WITH FRENCH YELLOW CLAY
$6.50
From the
card: "Known for its cleansing properties, French yellow clay
gently lifts oil and impurities while leaving skin feeling refreshed! This is a
great soap for your face and is infused with lemongrass so it smells delicious
and is perfect for all skin types".
This looks like an awesome
soap! I am not a big fan of bar soaps for my face as they tend to leave my skin
dry and tight, but this is very waxy to the touch and I can see where it would
be moisturizing rather than striping my skin of its natural oils. The scent,
though Lemongrass, is very subtle.
COCO
LAQUER
TIFFANY COLOR NAIL POLISH
$6.00
From the
card: "What girl does not love Tiffany Blue! This color collection
is soft and chic. The perfect shade for the end of summer!"
I am going to keep it simple
and short here: H-I-D-E-O-U-S!
GOURMET BODY TREATS
NATURAL EYE SHADOW
GUN METAL GRAY
$18.99 0.23/oz
From the
card: "This eye shadow is a lovely and very versatile color. It's
great for sensitive skin or for contact lens wearers. Pure concentrated color is
waterproof and won't wear off so you can look fabulous and be worry free in the
warm weather".
EAT GREEN TEA
EDIBLE GREEN TEA
$25.00 / 100g
From the card:
"I have iced green tea every day but I was surprised to find out
that eating your green tea leaves has 10,000 times more powerful antioxidants
than drinking green tea! Now I add this to sandwiches or salads. It is also
great paired with the walnut butter featured in this box."
I am not sure what to think
about this other than it sounds really good and I love green tea! I am going to
follow Christine's advice and add some to my next salad!
ARTISANA
RAW ORGANIC WALNUT BUTTER
$11.33 / 8oz
From the
card: "This is a favorite of mine! Raw walnut butter is a great source
of Omega-3 fatty acids and also a great way to add protein to your diet. Great
snack for on the go. I keep a packet in my purse at all times. Perfect on toast,
crackers and is great for baking or just squeeze and eat alone."
Very intriguing! I am
definitely going to snack on this on top of a few celery stalks! It has 205
calories per servings...one hefty snack!
HOME FREE TREAT
GLUTEN FREE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP MINI COOKIES
$1.49 / bag
From the
card: "These are the best cookies ever and what is even better is
knowing they're healthy! Free of most food allergens and gluten and they are
certified vegan. A single bag contains more than 1/2 serving of whole grain. A
perfect guilt free snack that will satisfy your sweet tooth".
I tried that brand in another
box this year, and they are NOT the best cookies ever! They taste healthy, so
there!
BAKERS CONFECTIONS
WOODEN SPOONS - PICK YOUR COLOR
$12.49 / set of 18
Okay! So what are these, and
what are you supposed to do with them? I mean they are cute and I am going to
assume that the sample is a miniature size but when you buy the large size, can
they be washed? Are they supposed to be thrown in the trash and be
bio-degradable? It's a pretty cool idea, but wow, $12.49 for 18
utensils?
As for this sample, I really
don't know what to do with it...card making? Scrapbooking? a brooch? I just
don't know! Not very happy with this - it's just eye candy.
Well, as you can see, and if you have been following
my Eco Emi reviews, this was not an impressive
box at all! But hey, you never know...all (aside from the cookies) may turn out
to be awesome products!
