July 2012 Eco-Emi Box

Review of the July 2012 Eco Emi box! All products listed below are linked on their site.

Hugo Naturals: Lavendar Essential Mist - Soft and faint. There's no alcohol, so no sting or warp of scent. Lovely lavendar & herb mixture, fades very quickly. Nice for a brief refresher, but not a long term room or body spray.

Yogi Tea: Soothing Caramel Bedtime - Not as sweet as expected! Pleasant and aromatic. Not exactly a dessert tea, but definitely something to relax with.

Yogi Tea: Raspberry Passion Perfect Energy - A little weak for me; I would like the black tea flavor to be more pronounced. Overall it has a slightly tart taste.

Crystal Essence: Pomegranate Deoderant Towelettes - Smells nice, crisp & bright. But this isn't strong enough for my BO, even when using one entire towelette per pit.

DeVine: Lip Shimmer in Merlot - Nothing too extrodinary about this. Nice product in a pretty shade, but it doesn't stand out in anyway.

Biggs & Featherbelle: Tequila Bar Soap - Bright salty lime smell! Soap has texture like aged cheese, dense, with little air bubble pockmarks. Not much lather but left my skin clean, smooth & soft. A very nice product that even works well on my face!

i-Chill: Relaxation Drink Shot - I don't normally have problems falling asleep and I'm pretty relaxed most of the time, so I didn't try this yet. I'm going to keep it around for my next long flight, to see if it helps with jetlag.

Madhava: Agave Light Sweetener & Blonde Coconut Sugar - I don't use sugar or sweetners, except for baking. So I haven't used these packets. I'll keep them around, but it'll probably be a while before I can really try them out.

Natural Vitality: Calm plus Calcium, Organic Raspberry Lemon Flavor - All these vitamin & nutrient samples are getting annoying. I don't use supplements unless directed by a doctor. I just wasn't interested in trying this.

Seaweed Bath Company: Body Cream in Lavendar - The smell is supposed to be lavendar and I can detect a hint of that, but it's mainly a weird mossy moldy scent. It's like the lavendar is trying to cover old brine but doesn't quite do the trick. The overall result is really off-putting. This is a shame, because I love the cream itself. It's wonderfully thick but non-greasy, silky smooth without any oily residue. Good for my skin, but bad for my nose.

ThinkThin: Chocolate Dipped Mixed Nuts Crunch Bar - Yum! Nutty flavor, not too sweet, just a tad sticky, with a satisfying crunch. I would definitely buy more of these! Unfortunately, the coupon code which came with the sample didn't work on their website.
