Farm Stand Soaps – Lemongrass & Ginger

Estimated Retail Value: $8.00

This soap smelled like pure heaven! Okay, probably not actual heaven but it’s pretty close to it, I couldn’t get over how good it smelled. The scent was very summerish smelling to me, and I’m a huge fan of lemongrass smell. It reminds me of a soap that my mom used to purchase when I was a child so it brings back a lot of nostalgia. I don’t tend to buy a lot of bar soaps just because they tend to be messy but, I really want to change that as a way to stop using so much plastic. I could definitely see myself purchasing this again.

Friendly Body Product – Island Breeze Lotion

Retail Value: $6.95

“If you like pina coladas! And getting lost in the rain…” You’re welcome for putting that song in your head.  These lyrics are exactly how I would describe the scent of this lotion so I found it very fitting that on the description of the bottle, they included it. Oh, and the treat yourself slogan is so true! This product is really great, and only contains natural ingredients and vegan scented oils so you know you’re treating your skin correctly. I love anything pina colada/coconut flavor, so I really loved the scent of this lotion. It also left my skin feeling really smooth, not sticky, and every time I smelled my hands after I used it, I wanted to immediately drive to the beach and order a pina colada.

 

 

Friendly Body Product – Peppermint Chapstick

Retail Value: $1.95

It seems like I am always purchasing chapsticks so I was really happy to see this in the box. I loved the smell, and it wasn’t too strong like some mint scented items can be. My lips felt really smooth and the product wasn’t too waxy and didn’t make my lips feel like it had a heavy coat of product on it all day. I also love that they are vegan! As I’ve mentioned in past reviews, I support any product that doesn’t use harsh ingredients, and most important to me is products that are cruelty-free. I took a peek at Friendly Body Product’s website, and I saw they have a grapefruit flavor, which really peaked my interest.  I will definitely purchase this in the future along with some other ones.

Lotus Soap Shop – Shea Butter Makeup Remover & Moisturizer

Retail Value: $6.00

I was a little skeptical of this product before I used it because I am always a little fearful of putting something I’m not used to using near my eyes. We all know what that burning feeling is when you get something foreign or harsh in your eye! While I did think this product worked well, and it did not burn or irritate my eyes, I am not sure if I will purchase again since I really love my skin care routine. However, that’s just my preference but, I do think a lot of people would love this product and also love the scent of it.

Deepleaf Organics – Lavender & Clay Relaxing Spa Bath Bomb

Retail Value: $8.00

I don’t take baths too often. I’m normally too busy for them.  I’ve actually never been someone who has enjoyed baths as I don’t find them incredibly relaxing. What?! Yes, I know…but, the smell of this bath bomb was really nice. It also is completely organic and left my skin feeling really soft and smooth. I also love anything lavender, so I was happy to receive this in the box.

Harlow Tea Company – Loose Tea in Mary Me, Black Licorice Chai, & Spring Peppermint

Retail Value: $4.00 each ($12.00 total)

My favorite of these was definitely the Black Licorice Chai. I love chai tea, and this had a really bold and delicious flavor. This type of tea reminded me of the fall weather, which I’m getting more and more excited for as the days go by.  I am not that much of a fan of anything mint flavored but, the Spring Peppermint one was just as enjoyable. The Mary Me flavor had a strong cranberry taste, which I am not a huge fan of personally but, I think a lot of people would like this one. I have been drinking a lot more tea lately but, rarely do I ever purchase loose tea so this was a really nice treat for me!

Overall thoughts

This box is simply amazing! All of the products were very high-quality and I was quite impressed with them. I also love that we were honored with the opportunity to help promote, support and share with all of you a small business who works incredibly hard to put together an amazing monthly subscription box. I also absolutely love the variety of the box. You can either surprise yourself every month, or you can pick your products – the options are endless! There are so many good things to say about Explorboxes, and we highly recommend you treat yourself and give them a try!
