The way it came was a nice change from what I'm used to! A cute little gift bag, tied up with a bow. I loved the presentation!
The outside of the box. It has the contents listed on a little card, tied to the bag with a bow. So cute, I felt like I was opening a present.
Here are the contents of the bag! I love that this little card also lists a discount code for the included products...a nice touch I haven't' seen in any other subscription services.
The first thing I pulled out was the Heaven's Alchemy perfume. This is all natural fragrance. They take their inspiration for each scent from cities. I love receiving perfume samples, as I love to change up my scent!
I received two fragrances - Kyoto and St Petersburg. Kyoto is a fruity floral that contains notes like apple, cherry blossom, and melon with a base of musks and sandalwood. St Petersburg is a spicy gourmand with citrus notes, jasmine, vanilla, and musk. I can't wait to try each of them!
Update: I have now tried them and they are both very nice! I especially love Kyoto - lovely and sweet without being overpowering.
The AnnMarie Gianni Coconut Oil sounds and smells awesome. It promises to hydrate parched skin.
It can be used on the face or body. I want to try it on my dry elbows and cheeks!
Update: I've been using this on my dry areas and I really like it! It absorbs well and isn't too heavy, and it smells really nice.
I'm really excited about the Prem Soaps organic olive oil soap. These are made in small batches. I got tea tree with chamomile, and it smells so good and clean with the distinct tea tree smell. This particular variety says it is good for itchy or acne-irritated skin.
I thought this was a nice touch!
Here's the soap itself...I love soaps like these, you can tell how natural it is.
Update: I used this little piece of soap and I loved it! The smell was a bit spicy, like chai or something! I loved that it didn't dry out my skin, and the texture really left me smooth.
This is hydrating facial creme from Aguacate & Co. It uses organic and all natural ingredients to hydrate. I can't wait to try it, I'm always looking for a good moisturizer.
This is what I'm most excited about! It's a full sized Deep Steep Moisture Stick (it's very large, .5 oz). It melts when it comes in contact with your skin and hydrates. This will be great to keep in my purse. I love the Rosemary Mint.
Update: I've been using this daily, and I love it! It's like a good lip balm for your body, and slicks on easily.
How cute is this little sack? I opened it up and found three Angelina Organic products. So adorable!
I got Rose and Cardamom Foaming Face Wash, Coconut Bliss Exfoliating Cream Mask, and Youth in Bloom Phyto-Active Firming Night Cream. I can't wait to try these out this weekend. They smell great!
In all, I think this was a great bag, and I definitely plan to subscribe! These are all products that are new to me and I'm excited to explore them.
Note: I was provided with a bag, free of charge. I was not paid for my opinion or otherwise compensated, and all opinions are my own.

Looks like a great bag. The Rosemary mint product sounds really cool too I love the smell of rosemary mint too!
Wow, you got alot of stuff! May have to check this one out.
I really enjoyed this bag! I've used several of the products already and like all of them. Definitely one worth checking out, if you like green/natural products!
After using for about a week, I can tell you that I LOVE the Rosemary Mint moisture stick...I've been using it on my elbows, knees, and feet as well as on the seasonal dry feeling rash I get thanks to my allergies. It's like a really good lip balm for your body!
That's awesome I'll def have to look into it for a future purchase
