I have another AWESOME subscription box to review for you all from the awesome people over at Green Grab Bag! Green Grab Bag is a subscription service in which you pay $15 a month and get a box delivered every month to your doorstep filled with at least 6 natural, vegan and eco friendly beauty items such as fragrances, make-up, skin or hair care products! With this awesome company, you can either choose to be surprised every month and not know what you get until that awesome moment when you open your box, or you can have control over your box and pick your samples. The "control your own box" option has 3 different box levels. The level prices are $15, $25 and $35. I received the surprise box for May :)
The first thing that came with it is a card telling you all about the products. I will be referring to it throughout this post. The message for this month says:
"Spring has officially sprung and, we don't know about you, but there's something about this time of year that inspires us to make a fresh start. Whether you are immersed in the world of natural beauty, or you're just testing the waters, we think this month's products will inspire you too! - Bonnie & Carrie, Co-Founders"
This is the bottom of the box...I accidentally destroyed the top trying to peel the sticker off...whoops!
This is my AMAZING box! I'm going to get right into it, and go in order according to the card!
The first product is this "vegan artisan" soap from the Metropolis Soap Co. in Lavender & Tangerine. This is hand made in Brooklyn New York, and is made of vegan ingredients that are safe for ALL skin types! The ingredients are sourced from small farms around the world. From the card:
"Lather up with skin nourishing blends, all made with 12 ingredients of less."
I have yet to use this, because I wanted to have it for the post, but my God does this smell absolutely fantastic. I'm obsessed with it, and sat here for about an hour sniffing it while editing pictures... I just want to eat it, but that'd be gross.
You can purchase a full size (4.2 oz) bar of this on their website for $7.99, making this 1 oz bar roughly $1.90! This soap is an awesome size that will last me quite a while :)
Next I have this Gourmet Body Treats Hydrating Vegan Lipstick in "Stay Calm". This is an awesome little pot of lipstick in a gorgeous maroonish pink color. These are vegan and long lasting lipsticks that are never tested on animals. This little pot also came with a card that had a beautiful picture on the front, and on the back it gives you the items used to create the look, which is awesome. From the card:
"Luscious lips with long lasting color? Yes please!"
I really enjoyed this sample, as I'm a complete and utter lip junkie. I can't help put oogle at a new lip stick! My only vice was it being put into this pot...it's a little hard to get out. I've tried applying it with a q-tip but it wastes too much of it. I really love the subtle tint it gives my lips!
A full size of this product will run you around $30, but they do sell these sample pots on their website for $4.00 a piece! To be honest, it's a little pricey, but given the nice quality, it's alright!
ALSO: If you use the code Kara15 at checkout, you can receive 15% off your cosmetic purchase!
Next are these Blum Naturals Combination & Oily Skin Daily Cleansing & Makeup remover towelettes! This box contains 10 individually packaged wipes that are PERFECT for on the go! They contain organic tea tree oil (AWESOME!) and are certified organic. These wipes have no synthetic preservatives, are paraben-free, no SLS, alcohol free, hypo allergenic and PH balanced! From the card:
"Because sometimes you just need one simple step, these handy wipes cleanse, balance and restore skin beautifully."
These wipes ROCK! They make my face feeling nice and cool, while also feeling clean! I love the fact that it has tea tree oil in it, which is known to be a natural healing oil and also combats oil in your face. I love this product and will be buying more when these are used!
You can purchase this product on drugstore.com for $3.49
Next I have this Hydra Soap Chill Pill in Waterfall. This is a bath fizz ball, which surprisingly in my 20 years of life, I have never used. The tag reads "The world's most incredible moisturizing water-softening scent-making fun fizzle for your bath" as well as "A freshwater stream cascades over glistening rocks to a secluded lake below. Stand under the rushing falls and experience the wonders of your tropical fantasy!" You're supposed to drop one relaxing bath fizzle into your tub and watch the magic begin! Where this ball splits in half, I'm wondering if you drop a half into the tub? Either way I guess I'll do that because it'd be two uses :) From the card:
"Turn your tub into a tropical paradise with this moisturizing, fun fizzie!"
I haven't used this, but certainly will be shortly! I've always wanted one of these, and I'm so excited I get to try this!
You can purchase a Chill Pill on their website for $7.00
Next are these Alaska Glacial Mud Co. facial masks in Vanilla Lavender and Lavender Peppermint! These are rich in minerals & nutrients and help to detoxify, exfoliate, soften and nourish skin! They are allergy-free, paraben-free and cruelty-free! From the card:
"It's good, clean fun when you purify and detox skin with spa quality glacial mud"
I have yet to try these...I actually shared the love with my bestfriend Courtney, and gave her the Vanilla one!
You can purchase a full size of this product on their website for $30, or a sample packet for $3.50 each.
The last product in my box was this 1 oz bottle of Lemongrass Leave In Conditioner from Alikay Naturals! This is a 100% all natural, and 90% organic product! It helps lock in moisture in your hair without weighing it down or causing product build up. From the card:
"Keep hair from drying out with this moisture locking formula. Excellent for curls!"
I really love this product! It smells amazing, and there is a lot in it! This will last me a while, and after a couple uses, could feel my hair being softer. I really like that only a few sprays go a long way.
You can purchase an 8 oz bottle on their website for $13.00 or a 16 oz bottle for $22.00 making this sample roughly $1.63
ALSO use code GGB15 at checkout to get 15% off your purchase. Expires 6/30/13
TOTAL: $25.02
Overall I think this box is WELL worth the price. I love being able to get introduced to new brands that are all organic/allnatural/eco friendly. I think that this box is amazing and I feel that any beauty lover or woman who likes to be pampered should invest in this :)
