The first look revealed nothing! I couldn’t tell what anything in this box was at all!
The September 2015 Genuine Articles charity was “Giving Back to Humanity” and the box included the following items:
~Black Pearl Naturals Bath Boutique All Natural Fabulous Face Sugar Scrub (4oz) ($10): This scrub works for all skin types and helps to smoothe dry patches and works to fight blemishes.
~Halimah’s Just Bees Pure Raw Honey ($4): Just Bees‘ pure raw honey is a simple treat free of additives, pesticides, and chemicals and is made north Georgia. My cousin has bees and I had no idea how difficult it was harvest honey before she got them. This bottle was A LOT of work and I appreciate that so much. It tasted great and will be great to have enough when the sore throats and what not take over this winter.
~InspireDeen Art Tile Coaster Art Set ($12): I love these! I absolutely love these. They are handmade and I will use them a ton. I love when subscription boxes include useful items that are also adorable.
~LinaGardenia Handmade Beaded Necklace ($20): This necklace isn’t really my style, but I have a friend who would love it. It’s handmade and what’s even cooler is that most of the artists items are made using materials from her Great Aunt’s old pieces.
~Zakiyah Scented Candle Votive Set ($8): Candles in subscription boxes are always a win. I rarely receive scents I don’t enjoy (subscribers either received Sandalwood or Nah Champa) and these were quite nice. I found that they burned clean as well.
All totaled I came up with a value of $54 for the September 2015 Genuine Articles box. The value was right around the cost of the box, but I thought all the items were fairly priced and I liked the selections they made this month.

Great review! Just a note, it looks like from the pictures that the honey company is Halimah’s Just Bees 🙂
Thank you! Autocorrect did not like that when I typed it I guess! I got it fixed!
