February's Eco Emi celebrated the 2 year birthday of this green product subscription service. Eight items were included in a nice tin, which I think I will repurpose to hold some of my mineral eyeshadows.
First up is a lip balm by Moody Sisters in Peppermint Spice. I've been using it for a few days and it's a nice texture that does hydrate my lips, so I'm happy! Love the kitty icon, and the value is $3.95.
Next is a really pretty lip gloss called Red Berry from Purely You Infused with olive fruit oil, rose hip seed oil, and vitamin E with a peppermint flavor, it does feel good on and provides a sheer wash of color. It has a thinner consistency with very little tack, so I doubt the staying power is very long. Regular sized is $7 so I'm estimating the sample at $1.50.
There was one foil packet sample of Aubrey Collagen & Almond lotion. I'm traveling this month so this may go with me. I'm going to estimate it's value at .35 cents.
The ily Styling Gel arrived a bit messy, so I'm guessing it leaked a bit during shipping. I don't normally use a styling gel, but this natural ingredient one is supposed to cut down on frizz, which is definitely an issue on the humid Gulf Coast. Maybe once I get my hair cut again, I'll give it a whirl. Sample value is $1.60.
I also received an exfoliating foaming cleanser from Suki. I've tried this before in a foil packet and really liked it, so I'm glad to have a larger size so that I can get a better feel for it. Sample value is $2.05.
Also included were an Athena yogurt bar in Pumpkin Spice that was quite yummy (value=$1.89), a packet of whitening gum by Vitacare (value=$1.99), and a trio of barley wheat, and alfalfa grass packets (value=$1.46). All totaled, the value of February's box not counting the tin is $14.79, or about the $15 I pay for the subscription.
It did seem like there were fewer samples included in this months box and the value is a little less than usual, but I do like the items included! I have found Eco Emi to be a great way to get introduced to natural and organic beauty and lifestyle products that I otherwise would have little, if any, exposure to.
