Subscription Box Reviews

Yuzen is $26/quarter and it always comes with colorful Japanese paper called Yuzen as wrapping. They coordinate the wrapping with the insert about the products.  A BEAUTIFUL presentation.  All the products included in the box are deluxe sample size to full size.

This month is “Season of Love and New Beginnings.”

Taken from the card insert from the Spring Yuzen Box:

“In My Garden The First Butterfly of the Season Just Won’t Stay” Abe Midori

Marine Repair Cream from Spa Technologies: a botanical product made from seaweed that is free of parabens and petroleum products.  It’s also a moisturizer. There’s no size listed, but it’s about 1/2 the size of the Juara mask, so I’m declaring it a .25 oz sample.  The full size (2 oz) is $96 (WOW!), so this sample is worth $12.

Juara all-natural mask from is made with avocado and banana.  It’s a leave-on mask, so it keeps working long after the usual 10-15 minutes you usually get from a face mask.  A full-size 2.8 oz retails for $35, making this .5 oz sample worth $6.25.

Kneipp Deep Sleep Mineral Bath Salt: With Valerian root and hops to help ease a racing mind at the end of a long day and promote a deep, restorative sleep so yu can wake up refreshed. The full-size 17.6 oz retails for $19, making this 2.1 oz sample worth about $2.25.

Jane Iredale lippies:  Lipdrink is a moisturizer with SPF 15 and a light lemon scent, the Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain goes on clear and adjusts to a pink according to your body chemistry, and the Lip Plumper is a tinted moisturizer in “Tokyo”, a sheer red. There is no size listed on these, so I can’t assign value, but the Lip Drink is $12 on the website, and the Lip Plumper and Just Kissed are $25 each.

Essence of Vali.  The description is “a warm floral, slightly citrus scent that’s sensual and serene at the same time.” Full size (2 oz) retails for $60

Naturopathica Espresso Mud Body Scrub: exfoliates the skin and removes impurities with “rich ingredients like Coffee Arabica, Indian Sarsaparilla, and volcanic pumice and black silt clay” to get the blood pumpin’!  The full size is 5 oz and retails for $32, so this (generous) 2 oz sample is worth $12.80!

Nova Monda!  This is an “eco-ethical” treat. This 2-truffle pack is available from their website for $4. They were sooooo yummy!

Red Flower: Blood Orange scent. This “Little Flower” candle has a 15-hour burn time and retails for $14. This is my third candle and I can’t get enough of them!

All the links go directly to the company. There are NO referral links. I paid for this box on my own and all opinions are 100% mine.
