Green Grab Bag December 2012

I think out of all the different sample subscriptions this one is one of the more unique ones. Green Grab Bag features niche handmade, organic and natural beauty products for $15 a month free shipping. This is what came in my December bag.

I guessed the value on some of the products because there was no weight listed on them, however it was still based off the full size price.

Zosimos Botanicals Facial Mask- Raspberry and Honey Full size single. Value $4.00

This mask is to help draw out toxins and impurities. I am looking forward to a relaxing evening and using this.

Natures Balance Wellness Body Butter in Marigold Magic and Love me Lavender guessed value $1.00

Marigold is well known for moisturizing, it will be great for winter dry skin. Last night I used the Lavender after my shower because lavender is my favorite. It smells so good and has a great texture. 

Pangea Organics Facial Toner-Argentinian Tangerine Thyme Toner Full size 2oz Value $13.00

This looks pretty good. Looking forward to trying it. 2oz is a great size for travel too.

Elegant Minerals Eye Shadow in Poinsettia sample guessed value $1.00

This is a pretty darker pink color. Mineral makeup always goes a long way so this should last a while. 

Elemental Herbs All Good Lips Organic Lip Balm in Maroon Creek full size value 2.25 grams $4.99

This is a pretty color and smells good too. It also has SPF which is a plus.

Destiny Boutique Charcoal Facial Soap Detox guessed value $1.00

This is a nice little bar, smells good and will be great for travel

Destiny Boutique Facial Detox Wash Guessed Value $2.00

This is also another great travel size here and it smells just like the soap. I can't wait to try and compare which I like better

Total items 8

Total Value $27.00

I think it is a great selection and considering shipping was free and would easily cost another $5 you are getting your moneys worth. 

Can't wait to see what is in next month's bag!

Beauty Army December 2012

I got home from work today and opened up my mailbox to find my Beauty Army box inside! I love getting my little subscription boxes! Beauty Army is $12 a month plus free shipping and you get to pick out your own 6 samples. A lot of them are full sized too which is super nice. Here is what I picked out this month.

Skinn Cosmetics Twin Set Lip Stick and Lip Gloss in Pink Tulip. Full Size value $18.50. This is really nice because it has matching lip stick and lip gloss with a mirror on the tube so it is great for the purse.

You Da Balm Grapefruit Lip Balm. Full Size value $3.00  It smells just like a fresh grapefruit! Yummy!

Cocktail Perfume Vial. Approximate Value $4.00 (Full Size 1.7oz $56) Out of my 6 samples they had one option for a mystery sample and this was what they sent me. I can't wait till my asthma is better again so I can smell it.

Mighty Leaf Tea Green Tropical Tea- 1 bag value 66 cents. (Full Size 15 bags $9.95) I always love to try teas and coffees so this looked like a good idea to try. I'll let you know how it tastes when I try it!

Mark Hook Up Lip Gloss- Blow Kisses Full Size Value $6.50. So much fun! I love really red lip colors. It's so vintage looking!

Whip Hand Cosmetics Loose Pigment Eye Shadow in Green Beret .02oz value $2.80 (Full size .10 oz $14.00) This is a very nice shade of green. I love using green and brown eye shadows.

Total Value of this month's choices = $35.46

See you next time!

Here is what I got in my kit this month along with an estimated value.
