❧❦ Eco-Emi Box December 2011 ❦

Eco Emi Box December 2011

I was thrilled with my December Eco-Emi Box, although it appears that there were supposed to be candy canes in here and they are missing.

Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques Botanical Lip Gloss in Winterberry

This month's box included a good selection of household products and body products.

Wyk candle - Whispering Pine

Hip Apotheca provided the John Masters Organics samples

Maggie's Functional Organics Cotton Socks

Green Shield Organic Free & Clear Laundry Detergent

Genesis Today Vitamin C with Zinc Super Chews

Artisana Raw Chocolate Coconut Butter

Zambeezi Organic Beeswax Lip Balm

The only problem I have with this box is that we got lip balm YET AGAIN! They really need to stop including lip balms. Otherwise, it was a great box for winter - socks, vitamin C chews, a candle...

The December 2011 Eco Emi Box includes:

Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques Botanical Lip Gloss in Winterberry
Wyk candle - Whispering Pine
Hip Apotheca provided the John Masters Organics samples
Maggie's Functional Organics Cotton Socks
Artisana Raw Chocolate Coconut Butter

❧❦ Birchbox December 2011 - Jouer Birchbox Pink Lipgloss ❦❧

The December 2011 Birchbox arrived with more of a whimper than a bang. I honestly don't have anything to say about it except that in 2011 my Birchboxes started off being very interesting and having awesome products like Nars, Stila and Nuxe and since then it's pretty much been downhill.

December 2011 Birchbox - Jouer Lipgloss

Birchbox Pink Jouer Lipgloss

Benefit The POREfessional

I've used Benefit's POREfessional for a long time, and I love this product. A little goes a long way and it really covers any large pores completely. I use it prior to applying foundation.

Blinc Eyeliner

The prior Blinc mascara I received was sub-par, so I don't have much hope for this eyeliner.

Show Stoppers and EBoost Dietary Supplement

Harvey Prince - Ageless perfume

The Harvey Prince Ageless perfume is touted as being "The scent of youth." Really? Seriously. This is not a particularly pleasant scent. It just smells like sour grapefruit.

I had an overwhelming negative response to the products I received with my YouTube video, with many ladies saying that they are happy they canceled their Birchbox subscriptions last month - they are now certain it was the right decision.

I'm still on the fence, and I still have hope. I think I'm going to change my beauty profile and hopefully January will see an improvement.
