This is my second month of Eco Emi’s deluxe beauty box. I am totally loving it! The products and value are amazing!

Price: $22 (Includes shipping)

Whole Seaweed Detox bath ($12.89)  This HUGE bag of Ocean-Fresh whole seaweed detox bath brings the traditional Irish spa experience into your home with sustainably harvested bladderwrack seaweed. Soaking in a seaweed bath allows your body to easily absorb a large amount of valuable nutrients, amino acids and oils that nourish the skin.

Shea Radiance hair butter ($16) A natural hair care product to give dry damanged hair a luscious, nutrient-rich treatment. This butter combines high concentrations of unrefined shea with a host of healing and essential oils. A great styling product for long and short hair styles alike. Special formulated to soften and smooth thick hair. YAY, that’s me!I like how there is really no smell to this. It wont clash with body washes or body sprays. 🙂

Cailyn Cosmetics Eyeshadow ($15) Made with 100% raw mineral powder, this highly pigmented satiny powder not only colors your eyes with shimmery, gorgeous hues, but is also safe to wear long hours. Easy to use built-in sponge tip allows smooth application and seamless blending of colors.

Logona Mascara ($22) With this company, no advance in product quality comes at the cost of our steadfast commitment to environmental responsibility. With mascara you have a quality product that creates subtle and naturally beautiful eyelashes.

I am excited about everything in this box! I’ve received Cailyn cosmetics before and they are wonderful. Thank you Eco Emi.

This month I chose Always pads. ($4.99)

My goodies consisted of:

Chandelier earrings (Unknown) ($19.95)

Prestige Cosmetics ~ Mascara & Eyeliner ($10)

Candy!!

Maybelline Color Sensational Whisper Lip Stick ($5.99)

I’m thinking this isn’t the greatest box for the price. I’m not happy with the cosmetics and the earrings aren’t my style. The first month I got this, it was great, not it seems to have fizzled out for me.

This month’s Birchbox theme is “Decked Out”.

The box itself is a keeper. Very festive. I love it! The inside has something left to be desired though.

“We designed this box to help you start the celebrations a little early. It’s filled with festive beauty samples picked out just for you, plus a special gift from our friends at GAP: $10 to spend at any of their stores – no strings attached.”

YAY!

PRICE: $10/month.

Klorane ~ Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk in Natural Tint.

W3LL People ~ Bio Brightener Stick. (This was my pick for the month) Rather small!

Manna Kadar ~ Lip Locked. A primer, stain, and gloss loaded with vitamins.

Yu-Be ~ Moisturizing Skin Cream. I’m glad I love this. I get it every few months it seems.

SeaRX ~ Anti-Wrinkle Facial Lift Treatment Serum.

I like all the products in this box, but I don’t like that they are so small. I’m not sure it’s worth it anymore. I just can’t bring myself to cancel though. Their point system is the best out there for sub boxes in my opinion. I’ve purchased many full size products that I’ve been introduced to via this box.

Julep had a great selection for this month but I’m getting really overloaded on polishes. Their eyeshadow really caught my eye though so I decided to take Modern Beauty this month. That is actually my “normal” selection. I tend to always opt for something else though.

This month’s theme: The Countdown Collection.

Blank Canvas Mattifying Eye Primer .13 oz ($22) $5.00 Special

A reparative eye primer that creates a smooth, flawless base for long-lasting eye looks.

Candy!! 🙂

I like how the shadow goes on easily and has good staying power for my oily complexion. OH but maybe it’s due to the fab primer? I plan on getting other shades.
