During my subscription box drought last week, I decided to go ahead and order Yuzen. I’ve always wanted to try it and it was time! In case you aren’t familiar, Yuzen is a quarterly (it used to be monthly) subscription box that sends you a little Zen for every season. It’s $26/quarter and each box includes high-quality natural and organic personal care products, healthy snacks, and lifestyle items carefully chosen from about 6 companies.
I had heard that Yuzen had great packaging and it’s totally true. It comes in a USPS envelope, but inside is this beautiful box, all wrapped up like a present!
Yuzen is one of the best packaged boxes out there. It’s seriously so beautiful and I was very impressed and couldn’t wait to dig into it all!
And I was excited to see they had an information card inside. This is going to make me seem like a total hoarder, but I save all my information cards. Don’t judge me. Yuzen also has a great section section on their website that gives details on all the products in the box and links you to them online!
Here are the details on the box:
~Red Flower Italian Blood Orange Little Flower Candle ($14): This is what totally sucked me into this Yuzen box. I received a Red Flower candle in my October PopSugar box and I loved it. This is a different scent, but I love it even more. And those matches? OMG, they are the same scent and color. LOVE.
~Spa Technologies Marine Repair Creme ($16.94): Ohh, this sounds amazing. It’s “an anti-aging moisturizer that’s rich with skin-firming seaweed extracts, antioxidants, and DNA-repairing enzymes” and I fear I will be addicted. I’ve never tried anything from this brand and can’t wait to try this.
~Kneipp Deep Sleep Mineral Bath Salts ($5): I’m not a big bath person, but I bet B will use this. Heck, maybe tonight? It’s his last night of Spring Break and he’s gotta get a little more relaxing in. B’s BodyMedia monitor actually tracks his sleep, so it will be interesting to see if this give him “a deep, restorative sleep” like it promises.
~Naturopathica Oat Facial Polish ($20): Spring Yuzen boxes that were shipped prior to 2/26 received the Expresso Body Scrub, which I would have loved to try, but I am happy with this as well. I just finished up my Benefit Polish, so it’s kinda perfect timing.
~Essence of Vali Eau de Parfum ($.60): I like the scent of this more than I thought I would, but I don’t love it. I totally don’t love it more than my new favorite. I do wish that all perfume samples had little sprayers on them (this one doesn’t). I feel like you get a way better idea of what it will smell like when you can spray it.
~Juara Avocado Banana Moisture Mask ($5.33): I am trying this asap. Like tonight. It’s no secret I am obsessed with avocados and bananas are pretty good too, so this has me super excited. I don’t really have a good face mask that I love and really would like to try one, so maybe this will be it!
~Jane Iredale’s Lip Treatments ($12): Okay, these are adorable. They aren’t super tinted, which is good for me and everyone really because you can do a lot of different things with them. I wasn’t sure how to value them since they don’t have a size, but I am guessing they are 1/4 of a normal size so I went with $4/each.
~Nova Nova Chocolate Truffle Hearts ($4): Can you ever go wrong with putting truffles in a subscription box? I think not. Of course I can’t wait to try these!
All totaled, I came up with a value of $77.87 for the Spring Yuzen Box. The box itself is $26/month and, so this is certainly a great deal. If you subscribe anytime between now and the end of April, you can still receive this box. The Summer box will be shipped in May.
