September Eco Emi!

September
                                      
This month's box is amazing! Look how adorable it is in all of it's fall glory. Of course the first thing I noticed is that the green bag is actually made out of some kind of silky, polyester type fabric. Untill now I've only had mesh and burlap type bags witch are of course awesome in them selves, but this was a nice suprise.
Now I just realized that I forgot to do an August Eco Emi review. That's probably because I was thoroughly upset with it. But this month they made more than a come back. August's box was a bust for me because I was so excited that the main item was a mini skin care set, but they sent me one for dry skin. I have oily/combination skin. Apperantly this happend to several people as there was quite alot of outrage from other subscribers. Eco Emi handled the comotion incredibly well. They promptly put out a survey to determine theire subscribers individual needs in regards to hair and skin types among other details. But even after all that I still found myself a little apprehensive as to what this months box would entail.

I cannot rave enough about this box! It had three of my favorite things... honey, pasta, tea... Yes I am a food lover ;-) I was very impressed to see that we received a full size tin of mints instead of just four individual mints this time. These mints are a lemongrass mint flavor and smell amazing. A lip gloss was incuded which was a bit of a surprise for me as I haven't had one of those in any of my previous box's. It's a very flattering shade, slightly mauve red. I didn't notice any flavor and it felt smooth on my lips. I really can't stand sticky glosses and so this one is a keeper. Another rather unique item was the perfume. For some reason I was expecting it have a barely there scent but it's actually quite strong and very floral, musk. We received a large packet of bath soak that I'm dying to dive into. It's got oats in it so I imagine that it's very calming and moisturizing. Also included was an eyeshadow sample in Sandalwood (I beleive) which seems like a very neutral beige color, and of course our traditional chapstick. I couldnt beleive how delicious this months chapstick smells. I think it's some sort of Apple scent but oh my goodness it smells like the apple crisp candles at those super spendy candle shops. It's formula seems ultra creamy and the adorably cute little smiling bummble bee on the tube is just to cute for words.
My favorite about this month is all the foodie things they gave us. I'm a honey junkie and we received not one but two good sized packets of 100 % pure honey harvested in Florida, yumm. My mother and I both gasped at the honey and the box of pasta. We couldnt beleive how pretty the multi colored pasta is and we can't wait to make a beautiful pasta salad with it. Other then the mints a sample of tea was also included. Not just one but three packets of tea, all of which sound delish. The really unique thing that caught my eye about this tea sample was that one was caffine free, one light caffine, and one caffine. Talk about appealing to all levels right? So yes I think Eco Emi deffinately learned something from last months events and maximized the turn around. Nice work Eco Emi we love you!
