Kimberly Parry Organics Sweet Orange & Cranberry Scrub - 2 oz Value $13
I couldn't find this exact product on their online shop, so I used the foot scrub for value reference. I hope they start carrying this scrub soon! I love the orange and cranberry scent - I think if Thanksgiving was a scrub it would be this!
(One thing to mention - this scrub is on the drier side compared to some scrubes. If you are looking for a non-oily scrub, I recommend it!)
Black Dahlia Nail Lacquer in Red Spike Cactus - FULL SIZE! Value $9.50
This polish, is vegan, 5-free, and I like that Yuzen is featuring indie polish in their boxes. (I believe before they primarily stuck to SpaRituals polish).
The Tea Room Raspberry Rooibos - Sampler
In addition to the chocolate bar below, The Tea Room also included this chocolate sample.
The Tea Room Chocolate Fusion Dark Green Earl Grey Chocolate Bar - Value $3.29
I sometimes like dark chocolate (it needs to have a lot of sugar in it), and usually I miss the milk, but this bar is interesting! It's not a eat-the-whole-bar-in-under-2-minutes type of treat, but that's probably a good thing! I can definitely taste the tea!
Sanitas Oil Free Moisturizer - 15 ml Value $7.50
This moisturizer is light, absorbs quickly, and is fragrance free! Love it!
Co Pur Facial Scrub + Mask Two-In-One - 1.3 oz Value $10.40
This mask is made with just French Green Clay, Grapefruit Peel Powder, and Camomile Powder. I like the addition of the grapefruit and camomile - it makes a much better scent than straight-up mud masks to me. And this mask is a powder, so it should have a longer shelf life. (You add water to form a paste, then leave it on for 15 minutes).
Salus Organic Lotion Bar in Lemongrass - FULL SIZE! Value $7.75
This might be my favorite item in the box! I love lotion bars, and the lemongrass scent of this one is great!
21 Drops 18 Sleep Essential Oil Blend - 3 ml Value $10.80
21 Drops makes 21 different essential oil blends that are free of parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, etc.
Sleep fuses the 100% natural essential oils of:
- Palmarosa helps diminish anxiety
- Sandalwood quiets the mind
- Vetiver soothes, helps with relaxation
- Ylang Ylang encourages peace
If you are used to getting lavender scents for sleep products, I think you may like this blend. It is unexpected by relaxing!
LEVEL Naturals Shower Bombs in Organic Menthol + Cucumber (2 Pack) - Value $4
I sampled the original Menthol shower bombs before and they are STRONG! (Strong like I only used them when I had to clear my sinuses!) I think the cucumber combination helped tone this scent down a little, plus I like the cucumber addition - it gives a spa-vibe!
Verdict: This box has a value of about $67. I think that's great for this box - and I like the variety of items and brands included too.
