September 2012 Eco-Emi Box

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

Betty Lou's: Angell Crisp Milk Chocolate Bar - Generic chocolate wafer bar. Tastes OK.

Burt's Bees: Facial Cleansing Towelettes - Nice travel size pack of 10 towelettes. These are great, with hardly any scent and leaves my skin feeling clean. Good for wiping away sweat and grime from the subway!

Aubrey Organics: Silken Earth Powder Blush - Honey bronze color, has a light pretty shimmer. Goes on super smooth and blends well, but a shade too dark for me.

Good Fortune: Lip Balm - Orange Vanilla flavor, great sweet citrus smell. Rather hard texture, needs to warm up to apply. Not too greasy, nice product.

SEN CHA: Original Green Tea Leaf Mints - I've always wanted to try green tea mints, so I was excited to see these. Unfortunately, they are nasty. Chalky texture and most of the green tea taste is overpowered by non-sugar sweetener flavor. The mint is barely there. Will definitely not be buying more of these.

Biao Beauty: Beauty Rejuvenating Night Crème - Lovely soft rose scent. Cream is very thick, a little goes a long way! The texture was just a bit too greasy for me, but it's one of the nicer smelling lotions I've tried.

Safonique: Lavender Laundry Detergent - Pretty impressive; after washing a stinky dog blanket, it had just a tiny faint trace of lavendar and the fabric was clean, with no doggy smell!

Crum Creek Mills: Soy Nut Trail Mix - Yum! Delicious mix of soy nuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and raisins with just the right sprinkling of chocolate chips. I want more!

SparkleHearts: Bubbling Body Wash - Nice moisturizing body wash with a pleasant citrus scent. Left my skin feeling soft, clean and refreshed.

SparkleHearts: Soft Conditioner - I don't use conditioner, so I'll pass this sample to someone else.

Yogi Tea: Green Tea Blueberry Slim Life - Slightly tart green tea. I think there are too many ingredients and the flavor gets muddled. It's generic and almost bland, a mediocre cup of tea at best.

Yogi Tea: Skin DeTox - I like the slightly herbal base of this tea, but it's way too sweet for me. Again, rather generic and mediocre.
