My Conscious Box has arrived and I am excited to try new products that promote a healthier lifestyle with natural alternatives. Conscious Box comes in three different styles: Gluten Free, Vegan, or Classic. Today, I will be reviewing Vegan.
Conscious Box comes with an outer shell, which I thought was a little wasteful, especially since it is a subscription box with a "conscious" theme, but both boxes are made from post-consumer and post-industrial material. Also, both boxes are completely compostable.
The inner shell box is very cute, and used with light yet sturdy materials. The theme for the February box is, of course, Love. Included with the box every month is a sweepstakes to win another box filled with full size items with the theme. Unfortunaltely, I was not able to enter the sweepstakes, Be Ours Box of Love, because my box arrived March 1st and the deadline to enter was February 28th.
While the box had a love theme, the items inside did not fit it whatsoever. But, on the plus side, all the items are very useful around the house, and I'd rather have everyday items than themed items I would never use.
While I did enjoy most of the products, they were mostly all samples with only three full size items. I spent $19.95 for this box and was hoping for at least half the box to be filled with full size items. At least I can review each item and receive points that can be used to purchase full size items that I did love from the box.
Each box comes with a pamphlet that further explains each item. This is definitely helpful for food items and brands I've never heard of before.
$2.39
This Organic Pumpkin is perfect to make an additive free pumpkin pie. While this is something I would prefer in a fall box, I've never turned down a pumpkin pie anytime of the year. You can also go to their website for more recipe ideas such as pancakes, oatmeal, and lattes. I want to try all three!
$3.59
This stevia sweetened water enhancer is a great way to drink more water, which is something almost all of us need to do a little more. The bottle is compact, and can easily be taken with you to work, a restaurant, or really anywhere. I also love that you can add how much or how little you'd like according to your taste.
$5.84 - Full Size
These paraben free, vegan lotions make your skin feel hydrated and renewed. While I'm not a big fan of foil samples, these were definitely used. They both smell great, and it feels good to use natural products directly on my skin.
$6.00
As an alternative to paper towels, one People Towels can reduce landfill waste by 23 lbs. By using this towel, you can also save a quarter of a tree and 250 gallons of water. I love the simplicity of the design, and I feel good using it. I hope that I receive more of these towels in boxes to come.
$6.39 - Full Size
$5.95 - Full Size
These are a great snack on top of yogurt, salad, or by themselves. These seeds are full of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fiber. It is a super easy way to get more nutrients in your life. Plus, they are pretty yummy.
$25.79 - Full Size
This probiotics supplement will make you feel great, but I would suggest adding it to something other than water, because the berry flavor wasn't the best. Also, these supplements are organic and vegan.
$49.95 - Full Size
After using this wrinkle cream, I did notice a subtle improvement to my wrinkles. I wish I had more of this product in order to see if it had any long term results. Also, it is made with winter cherry extract, so it's all natural and smells great.
$4.99 - Full Size
I am always buying this brand, it is actually in my right cupboard now, so I was happy to see it in my Conscious Box. Chamomile is perfect for helping you get into that sleepy state before bed, or easing woman cramps. I actually brewed this tea while unveiling my box.
$2.99 - Full Size
These towelettes are perfect for after the gym, but I wouldn't recommend to use them before. They didn't work as well as my over the counter deodorant, but it is an easy way to rid more chemicals from my life. I would suggest to not use them on a hot, sticky day.
Along with all of the full size items and samples in the box, each Conscious Box is filled with additional coupons. Unfortunately, you have to spend money before saving money, but they are perfect for using with any item you loved from your box.
I estimated this box to be worth $29.58, but mainly because the full size wrinkle cream is so costly. I spent $19.95 for the monthly subscription, but you can save $3 by purchasing 3 months, or save $12 for 6 months.
If you are trying to drastically change your lifestyle to be more natural, organic, vegan, or gluten free, this is a great box for you. On the other hand, it barely is worth it's cost, and they've made a few errors with my subscription that they apologize for rather than fix.
If you would like to subscribe for your own Conscious Box just click here. Also, use the code THREEFREE for three free boxes, just pay $19.95 shipping.
