Lost Crates and Eco Salon Monthly Subscription Box Review - September 2012 - Plus Coupon Code!

One thing I love about Lost Crates is that you can skip a month whenever you like. This month I decided to skip the Joy the Baker Crate and Better Living Through Design Crate and go with Eco Salon and Gluten Free Girl (review to come as soon as the package arrives).

The Box: Eco Salon for Lost Crates

The Cost: $38 a month plus $5 shipping (Sign up for annual subscription to save shipping costs)

COUPON CODE: Use code TRYIT30 to save 30% on your first box!

The Products: EcoSalon brings you the best in green and sustainably conscious products. Whether it's made from recycled materials, eliminates the need for a disposable item, or is handmade by an independent designer committed to their craft, all of the products are hand selected with a better world in mind.

Core Bamboo 3 Piece Utensil Set - Value $15

I love the dip dyed look I've been seeing on Pinterest - now I can add it to my kitchen!

Epicurean Eco Cutting Board - Value $36

This cutting board is made from recycled milk jugs! I love that it has non-slip gripper feet! It also is made in the USA, dishwasher safe, and BPA free! I never thought about a perfect cutting board, but if I did this would be it!


Verdict: I paid $43 and received about $51 worth of quality eco-friendly products I'm so excited to add to my kitchen.  This is my favorite Eco Salon box from Lost Crates so far!

Honest Company Family Essentials Sample Kit Review - Eco Friendly Monthly Subscription Box

When I originally read about the Honest Company, I thought it was for families with children (they offer eco-friendly diaper subscriptions).  Thanks to My Subscription Addiction reader Amanda, I learned that they also offer a wide array of eco-friendly household products - I had to sign up!

  
This review is of the Honest Company Essentials Sample Kit. (They also offer a diapers sample kit). It's free - I just had to pay $5.95 for shipping. It's a great way to sample the products before you commit to a full-size monthly subscription.

The Box: The Honest Company

The Cost: Try a free discovery kit and only pay $5.95 shipping. The Family Essentials monthly kit (5 full size products) is $35.95. The Honest Diapers monthly bundle is $79.95.

COUPON CODE: Use code JOIN2GET10 to save $10 on your first full size monthly kit!

The products: The family essentials kit has eco-friendly household essentials like laundry detergent, soap, sunscreen, shampoo, etc. You can customize it each month. The Honest Diapers bundle has enough diapers and wipes to last an entire month.

Honest Shampoo and Body Wash in Sweet Orange Vanilla - 1 oz

This sort of smells like a delicious cream-sicle and is sulfate free! It measures up to my other sulfate free shampoos. 

Honest Face and Body Lotion (Fragrance Free) - 1 oz

This lotion is thin, dries quickly and keeps my skin moisturized. I love it for my body but probably wouldn't use it on my face.

Honest Healing Balm (Fragrance Free) - 1 oz

This balm is very similar to aquaphor and seems to work just as well, plus it's organic. 

Honest Laundry Detergent Free and Clear - 2 oz

This sample can do two laundry loads if you have an HE washer, or one load with a regular washer. This sample also was my favorite in the box! I've been in the process of replacing all my household cleaning products with green alternatives, and laundry detergent was a tough one for me. I couldn't find a green detergent that cleaned as well as Tide - until now! I am adding this to my monthly full size subscription ASAP!

Honest Hand Soap in Organic Lemongrass - 2 oz

I love hand soap samples like this for traveling where hotels typically only give you bar soap. I love the lemon scent of this soap so I'll be adding it to my monthly subscription as well.


Verdict: Honest Company is one of my favorite new discoveries.  The product quality is top-notch and I love that I can customize each month's box. For my first month I think I'll pick: Honest Laundry Detergent, Honest Dishwasher Pods, Honest Oxy-Boost, Honest Stain Remover, and Honest Fruit and Veggie Wash.

Have you sampled other Honest products? Any favorites you recommend?
