January 2013 Eco-Emi Box

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

Madecasse Chocolate: Pink Pepper & Citrus - Yum! Slightly sweet, fruity flavor mixed with a smooth dark chocolate. Not the best I've ever had, but pretty good.

Yogi Tea: Bedtime Tea - All I can taste here is a strong sweetness. Definitely not for me.

Yogi Tea: Kava Tea - Interesting flavor, like fresh hay and grass, spiked with a sharp dark herbal note, like licorice or camphor. A pretty enjoyable cup.

Lisa Ann Skin Care: Mandarin Body Butter - Thick whipped texture, has a pleasant light citrus scent. However, I found this very greasy and it left an oily residue on my skin.

7th Heaven: Assorted Facial Masks - I haven't had a chance to use this mask yet, but it looks promising. Hopefully it won't dry and crack like other masks I've used!

Linwoods: Ground Flaxseed, Cocoa, Strawberries & Blueberries - Gritty powder and nearly flavorless. I can barely detect a hint of cocoa, none of the fruit. I tried it mixed into plain yogurt and was not impressed.

Hugo Naturals: Tea Tree & Lavender Shampoo - Strong lavender scent, very herbal and refreshing. It rinses out cleanly and left my hair soft and shiny. A nice solid shampoo.

Wine Country Organics: Pinot Lip Tint - I don't use much lip tint. This one is a nice bold color that really does remind me of a rich pinot noir. It seems like a good product and will probably be gifted or swapped.

Aubrey Organics: White Camellia Hydrating Bath Bar - Fairly generic soap with a faint floral scent. It does moisturize better than most commercial soaps, but nothing spectacular.

The All Natural Face: Vegan Mineral Eye Shadow, Pink Gold - Glittery and pink! Actually, the glitter is more of a soft shimmer and goes on rather nice. The pink is pastel but not very opaque, so it blends well with skin. I don't wear much eye shadow, but this one is subtle and pretty.
