My first Eco-Emi box arrived just in time for my birthday last week. I absolutely love it! The cost of an Eco-Emi subscription is $15 per box. You get 5-10 samples of eco-friendly and cruelty free products. There's a higher percentage of beauty products than with other boxes and often the products are vegan (but not always.) Right now they are offering a discounted random box from the last six months for only $12.99: http://ecoemi.com/random-extra-box/.
This month's box had a valentine theme: pink tissue paper, little confetti hearts, and pretty green moss that kind of got all over everything (hence the newspaper underneath.)
It contained:
Mandarin Body Butter by Lisa Ann Skin Care - You get a very little sample but that's just enough to try out a product like this. It's very thick and moisturizing and smells homemade. I'm really liking my Andalou body butter right now so don't think I'd purchase, but it was a nice little sample
Pink Gold vegan Eyeshadown by The All Natural Face - Really pretty eyeshadow. It's pink and gold and very sparkly but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't overpoweringly sparkly when applied so I could still get by with wearing it to work. If you layered it on it would probably have a more sparkly effect. So happy to be getting make-up samples and this is the perfect size. It will last me a long time.
Organic White Thai Mud Masque by 7th Heaven - This sample appears to be good for one use. Good opportunity to try something different. Unfortunately, it does contain lactoperoxidase which is not vegan (I do appreciate that this was indicated on the label very clearly.)
Volumizing Shampoo - Vanilla & Sweet Orange by Hugo Naturals - This may be the item I am most excited about in this box. I've been wanting to try this scent from Hugo Naturals for a while but did not want to commit to buying a full size product. I am also on the lookout for good hair products as the ones I have been using are not great for my hair. Will let you know what I think!
Milled Flaxseed, Cocoa and berries by Linwoods - This is a powdered supplement you can add to your foods or smoothies. It contains flaxseed, cocoa, and dried berries. It's got vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, antioxidants, and 9 grams of protein. Not sure what I will add this to but could be a nice supplement to a workout regimen whenever the weather gets warmer.
Pink Pepper and citrus chocolate by Madecasse Chocolate - Actually had an opportunity to try a simple dark chocolate by Madecasse last year but the sample was very small and I was underwhelmed. This sample is an actual small full size candy bar which I think is great. I like that it's a unique flavor (and vegan!) It wasn't the most amazing chocolate I've ever eaten but definitely the best I've ever gotten in a sample box.
Bedtime and Kava Stress Relief Tea by Yogi Tea - I used to drink Yogi tea all the time. I believe these were two of my favorite flavors. I get a lot of tea from these boxes so I really need to start drinking tea again! Just got out of habit this last year.
White Camelia Hydrating Bath Bar by Aubrey Organics - I don't really use bar soaps but this is a cute little sample and will be great for travel or for guests. It's vegan as well.
Organic Pinot Lip Tint by Wine Country Organics - I love this!! I'm not a big fan of lipstick but I do like a little color on my lips every now and then. This lip tint is perfect. It's just a hint of color and shine and moisturizes as well. Perfect for work or everyday use. Please note that the lip tint does contain beeswax which many vegans choose to avoid. Also products could contain carmine. Thankfully, mine did not. No bug shells for these lips, thanks!
Very impressed with this month's box and hope future boxes are just as good. Next month is their two year anniversary box so hoping it will be extra special.
