I knew this month we would be getting a lip scrub in the box and it might be runny on arrival. It was recommended to place it in the fridge right away. I should have put two and two together when I saw the package. It had a small water mark on the top. I just assumed this was from rain. When I went to open the box the moisture had spread and I had an idea of what was going on. This is what I opened up to:
The lip scrub was packaged in a cute green mesh bag with some other products. The tiny jar must have not been screwed on very well because it was empty. All the oils had soaked through the tissue paper, the box, and the paper materials enclosed. Not only was it a mess but I had no lip scrub! Still...one unlucky disappointment (it didn't happen to many subscribers) doesn't mean the box was a total loss. Not at all! Just check out the pretty packaging:
I was able to salvage the green mesh bag and kept the little piece of burlap for my own gift wrapping purposes. If it weren't for the stain it would have been a very pretty box!
Here's what July's box included:
Rose Cleansing Scrub by French Girl Organics - You can't tell very well from the picture but this was a really pretty item. It's a lavender colored dry facial scrub that you can mix with any liquid. You can also use it as a masque. This is one of those neat items it's fun to have on hand when you want a spa day.
Stress Relief Bath Soak by Eartha Essentials - I never seem to find time to take a bath but I can't wait to use this! It's a liquid you add to your bath and smells very nice and relaxing.
Lushfull Lips Lip Scrub by Eartha Essentials - This is the item that leaked so I didn't get to try it. I really like lip scrubs but the jar didn't smell amazing so probably not a huge loss. I've been using my $1 E.L.F. lip exfoliator recently and am not really looking for a different product.
Body Spritzer "Tangelo Twist" by Aubrey - This was a nice sample to include. It's nice to have a scent you can spritz on and carry in your purse. It doesn't really linger and Mike and the cats weren't huge fans so probably won't repurchase. Still it was fun to try.
Amend Facial Solar Repair Anti-Aging Serum by Blissoma - This is a very small bottle but I'm assuming a little goes a long way. I've tried one other Blissoma product and am not a huge fan but am willing to try it.
Whipped Cream Body Butter by Fortune Cookie Soap - Didn't love the smell of this one and the color is kinda green; however, fans were raving about this on Facebook so I'll give it a try. Although I might wait until winter when dry skin is more of an issue.
Cucumber Mint Green Tea by Tea Forte - This sounds really good but had a lot of oil from the lip scrub absorb into it. The lip scrub was probably food safe, but still...
Sleep Mask by Limitless Skies - This was a really cute addition and looks like it would be comfortable. It's nice to get a non-perishable beauty item every once in a while. I don't know that I'll have a use for it but it might be good to bring along when I travel.
So it wasn't really the best box I've ever gotten but compared to my Vegan Cuts box so far, even with flaws it is still by far my favorite and I have no thoughts of cancelling. On the topic of Vegan Cuts I noticed they have not charged me yet for August so I'm not really sure if I'll be getting an August box or not. If not, I'll probably let it go and will just have an Eco Emi review later this month.
