Oh my goodness, my Autumn 2014 Yuzen Box is here! Fall seems like it’s so far away, but I suppose it’s better to be ahead of the game than late to the party!
If you aren’t familiar, Yuzen is a quarterly subscription box that sends you a little Zen for every season. Each box includes high-quality natural and organic personal care products, healthy snacks, and lifestyle items carefully chosen from about 6 companies. Yuzen was previously a monthly subscription box (this was a while ago), but switched to quarterly last year, which I like even better.
Yuzen ships via USPS Priority Mail and took just a few days to arrive.
Insider the outer Yuzen box you will find the actual Yuzen box. Just like Birchbox, they do a box in a box type thing. I am assuming it helps with keeping things safe during shipping?
Yuzen has some of the most beautiful packaging out there. I love seeing what papers they pick. Everything is always just so gorgeous.
All of the products are also contained in a beautiful organza bag which can be reused. When someone is looking for a box for their co-worker, MIL, to someone they don’t know extremely well, I tend to recommend Yuzen. It has such an impressive presentation and would make a fabulous gift.
The Autumn 2014 Yuzen box includes the following items to help you transition into the season:
~Annie’s Organic Berry Patch Bunny Fruit Snacks ($1): My kids love these, but they aren’t just for kids. B and I love them too.
~Eminence Wild Plum Eye Cream ($20): This cream works to regenerate and brighten and is suppose to target dark-circles and signed of fatigue. I have every single one of these issues and need to get into a routine to start remembering to use an eye cream.
~Dr Hauschka Moor Lavender Calming Bath Essence ($3): This smells amazing. I may end up using the instructions on the card and putting a few drops in a bowl of water to “bring a sense of calm and peace” to a room instead of using it in the bath. That seems more “me”.
~SpaRitual Cuti-Cocktail Pen & Pusher ($17): I realized the other day that my cuticles were looking a mess and am now doing everything I can to fix that, so this came a great time. My advice is twist this slowly otherwise it will all come pouring out at once and you won’t be able to stop it.
~Tatcha Indigo Soothing Silk Hand Cream ($6.33): Not only is this purple which I love, it also smells amazing and works great! I am a sucker for fancy hand creams and this for sure fits that catagory!
~Weleda Pomegranate Regenerating Body Lotion ($16.50): Weleda is fabulous and I always appreciate getting it in a subscription box. I don’t recall ever getting this scent in a box before, but it’s great!
~Whet Nails Nail Lacquer (Hubris) ($15): Not a color I would normally pick for myself, but it’s fun to mix it up every now and then. With a few silver glittery nails mixed this, this will be fabulous.
All totaled I came up with a value of $78.83 for the Autumn 2014 Yuzen box. As usual I was quite impressed with this box and certainly feel like I got my $33 worth!
