February 2013 Eco-Emi Box

Review of the February 2013 Eco Emi box! All products listed below are linked on their site.

This month's samples came in a handsome reusable tin. I love that! Minimizes packaging and now I have a nice container which I'm going to fill with business cards and coupons.

Athena Bars: Pumpkin Spice Bar - Nasty texture on this one. Mushy and sour flavor. I couldn't even bring myself to finish the entire bar.

Aubrey: Collagen & Almond Enriching Moisturizing Lotion - Thick, silky cream with a pearl sheen and a kind of weird oaty smell. As I rubbed this into my hand, it left small skin flakes which I had to brush away with my fingers. Strange. Once it settles, it does leave my skin soft, although I can still see dry patches. Not a huge fan of this.

Suki: Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser - Amazing! The best scrub I've ever tried. Uplifting lemon herb scent, with the perfect texture, not too rough but still cleans off dead skin. The oils used left me soft and smooth, gentle yet effective. I definitely want to buy more!

Lily: Serenity Hair Gel - I don't use hair gel, so this one will be going to a new home. It smells like plants and limes and the first ingredient is aloe, so I assume it's very moisturing.

Vitacare: Mint and Key Lime Gum - Bright citrus flavor, but doesn't last long. In just a few seconds, it tastes like I'm chewing chalky rubber.

Moody Sisters: Peppermint Spice Lip Balm - This balm seems like it melts when it touches my lips, soft and thick, though a bit on the greasy side. The scent is mostly spicy, like a vanilla cinnamon, and not very minty.

Amazing Grass: Barley Grass, Wheat Grass and Alfalfa Powder - Normally I don't like supplements. But this contains pure powdered greens, no other additives or attempts to enrich the food artificially. It has a pleasant fresh taste and the smell of barley grass brings back memories of my mother using that in her cooking. This is a pretty decent product.

Purely You Minerals: Berry Red lip gloss - Great peppermint scent! Thick soft texture, goes on smooth and even. I love the rich deep merlot color and even though I don't use lip gloss that much, this one will be nice for some drama.
