October 2012 Eco-Emi Box

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

The All Natural Face: Copper Kisses Lip Gloss - Pretty coppery autumn color. I don't wear much lip gloss and this is a tad too dark for me anyway. But it's a nice quality product.

Dew Puff: Star Anise & Coffee Soap - Dense bar soap, with rich licorice anise scent. I love how it smells, but the little bits of coffee in the soap are too abrasive for me. I'd be willing to try some of their other soap products though!

Tasty Brands: Organic Fruit Snacks - Tasty chewy fruit gummies. Good for a small treat, but nothing amazing.

Shaklee: Basic H2® Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate - This is really interesting, a tiny little capsule that can be mixed with 16 oz of water to produce a cleaning solution for glass and general purpose. Haven't had a chance to try this, but definitely intrigued.

Ola: Vanilla Almond Granola - Solid oat flavor and not too sweet. I put this over yogurt, and it provided some nice crunch. I think it would be better in clusters, instead of loose granola. The bits are so small, you can't grab a handful without making a big mess. That limits the product to a topping, instead of a standalone snack.

Zen Society: Tea Tree Facial Cleanser - Has a bright herbal scent. It does a nice job cleaning without leaving my skin feeling rubbery. But I'm not a fan of the thick gooey texture.

Shea Radiance: Maximum Curl Defining Cream - Well, I don't have curly hair nor do I normally use hair products. This cream smells kind of funny, like overripe fruit. This one will need to find a new home!
