Tasu January 2019 "Wellness" Review
Tasu includes a card describing the monthly theme. On the reverse is a list of what's included with retail values. This month's theme is "Wellness".
Let's dive in!
Into the Woods Essential Oil Blend, 0.5 fl oz.— Listed Value $13.60 ($18.00 CAD)
I am an essential oil addict and I have quite the extensive collection. This is a great blend with a heavy dose of cedar with hints of orange and peppermint. It also has cloves but they are barely there. I used it in my diffuser with some extra sweet orange and my whole house smelled bright and clean. I really like more moody scents and this is a new favorite for sure!
Jasmine Orange Body Butter, 4 fl oz. — Retail Value $18.14 ($24.00 CAD)
I tend to like the body butters and creams that come in this sub. Great scent, check. All natural, check. Minimal apothecary-esque packaging, check! This one is a beautiful blend of orange and jasmine and though I wish the scent were just a wee bit stronger, the formula itself is wonderful. The shea butter and almond oil are very hydrating and the emulsifying wax creates a strong moisture barrier, leaving your hands soft and supple.
Black Forest Tea Blend, 40 grams— Listed Value $4.53 ($6.00 CAD)
Although this tea is really not my style, I did quite enjoy a small cup. It is very dark with notes of chocolate and cherries. It has little white chocolate drops scattered throughout which melt and give it an instant creaminess. I added some vanilla almond milk which made this feel much more like a dessert than a tea. While I am more of an earthy/floral tea enthusiast, this might be an ever so often treat when I get a sugar craving!
Cream and Sprinkle Messy Bun Toque - Listed Value $15.12 ($20.00 CAD)
This is just the cutest beanie ever! It even has an elastic hole at the top for my bun to peek out! I really like the ivory yard with the multi-colored threading. It goes with most anything in my closet. It could stand to be a little bigger, but that might be relative since I have a rather large noggin. I can't wait to wear this out. All the other buns will be so jealous!
Bun up, thumb up!
Lip & Cheek Stain in Drama — Listed Value $12.09 ($16.00 CAD)
I was super excited to try this out and it was the first thing I reached for in this month's box. I really liked it as a lip color but found that as a cheek stain it didn't mix well with my cream to powder foundation. I am still pleased with it though, as I have had the same favorite blush for years and see no likelihood of replacing it. On my lips is it a very natural rosy color with a dewy finish. The formula itself is super hydrating, meaning pretty and happy lips.
Marne was kind enough to do our swatches this month! Look at those claws too! Thanks, Marne!
The Verdict: I very much enjoyed this month's Tasu box. I always love their body lotions/creams, and the scent this month was soft and feminine. I always love getting a good essential oil blend, and this month delivered that as well. The tea was just so-so, but it was also the most minor part of this box, so I am fine with that. The beanie is beyond precious and very useful this time of year. I also have been using the lip stain all day, and really enjoy it. This box has a listed value of $63.48 USD ($84 CAD) and that is a decent value for a $34.55 ($37.99 CAD + $7.99 CAD shipping) box.
