Eco Emi Box November 2011 - Head to Toe Beauty Samples

November 2011 Eco-Emi Box

The 2011 November Eco-Emi Box arrived and as I opened it up I noticed something different - no fabric pouches to house the products.  Instead, the items were wrapped in green tissue paper tied with red ribbon, and placed into a plastic (Cough, cough.  How is that eco-friendly?) makeup bag.

On the accompanying product card Eco Emi states that this is the first of two holiday boxes!  Very nice.

Hugo Naturals Vanilla & Sweet Orange 

The Huge Natural Essential Mist in Vanilla & Sweet Orange is yummy - to me it smells like an orange cupcake!  It's actually a multi-use product - body spray, hair mist, linen spray.  Lovely.

Keeki - Lip Shimmer in Ooh La La

 A little diversion from the usual inclusion of lip balms is appreciated - this month they included a tinted "lip shimmer".  It's very nice and leaves a subtle sheen on the lips.

Sweet Riot Dark Riot

I have tried something from Sweet Riot from a Birchbox, but this particular chocolate bar was yummy!  It's 70% dark chocolate with cacao nibs and raisins and I ate the whole thing the day I got it!  It's 45 calories per block and there are 4 blocks per bar.

The eyeshadow is beautiful - a peachy gold color perfect for the holidays!

Lancome Magnifique Eau de Toilette

Lancome Magnifique

As Summer is vanquished by Fall, I find myself drawn more to the woodsy, spicy scents on my vanity table.  Light fruity, sugary scents are my preference in Spring and Summer, but for the chilly days ahead I love indulging in heavier fragrances that would be too cloying and overbearing in warmer months.

Lancome Magnifique

I'm always looking to add to my fragrance/perfume collection, but I'm very selective when choosing them. 

Lancome Magnifique

A while ago I was at a mall and I discovered Magnifique by Lancome.  I find that Lancome tends to produce heavy, spicy, often sickly sweet strong scents (can you say "Miracle?") and I suppose Magnifique is no exception.  This is why I chose the Eau de Toilette instead of the actual perfume.

Lancome Magnifique

This lighter version is a floral infused with something elusive that is apparently Nagarmotâ Wood (whatever that is), saffron, amber and roses.  At the heart of it, it is a very warm, spicy, sophisticated scent.  I noticed that it lasts a very long time, but that's not too surprising considering the fact that this is a rather complex scent.

 Lancome Magnifique

In addition to the perfume and Eau de Toilette, Magnifique is available as a body lotion and a shower gel.


The Eau de Toilette comes in two sizes:


1 oz. is $39.50
1.7 oz. is $49.50


You can purchase Magnifique directly  from Lancome, or check on availability at a department store near you.
