June Vegan Presence Review

The Box: Vegan Presence

The Cost: $20/month

The Goods: 3-5 vegan goodies with at least one full sized product.

Cotton Revival Playful Pig Tea Towel: ($16.25) I'm not super crazy about the color but I LOVE the print on this.  

Fig and Yarrow Complexion Water - Rose/Sandalwood/Neroli: ($8.50)  I have mixed feelings about thigns you spray on your face. (I'm really jumpy with things like that.)  I didn't notice this being extremely hydrating, but it did smell nice and feel refreshing.

Urban Gorilla Coffee: We pretty much exclusively use our Keurig, so we don't even own a coffee bean grinder.  

Relogy Acne Spot Treatment: ($14.95)  I haven't used this long enough to have a very strong opinion on it, but I really like it so far.  It seems like it's helping, and it doesn't leave me feeling dry or sticky.

Lalun Eye/Lip Balm: I'm not sure how much is in this pot so I can't accurately figure pricing.  I'm not a fan of this.  It's too soft for me to consider it a balm - I'd say it's closer to a jelly but it's actually softer than that too.  The scent is much too overwhelming for me to tolerate it on my face, but I might try it out on my cuticles and see how that goes.

Total Value: Over $39.70

As always, I love the variety in the selection even if I don't use all of the products.  I'm really sad that this is the final Vegan Presence box!  I'll definitely miss it every month.

May Vegan Presence Review

The Box: Vegan Presence

The Cost: $20/month

The Goods: 3-5 vegan goodies with at least one full sized product.

As always, everything was adorably (and sustainably) packaged

Brew Leaf Teas: ($6.99 each)  The green bag is a Yerba Mate blend.  I love Yerba cold, but I've never had it hot so I look forward to trying it out.  I'm going to pass the Decaf tea on to my grandmother.

Green Daffodil Lip Balm - Berry: ($4.25)  This lip balm smells delicious and SPF is always a plus in lip balm.  It's really creamy and lasts a long time - though it doesn't seem to moisturize much. 

Gourmet Body Treats Raw Finishing Powder: ($31) Okay. So.  Don't judge me.  I totally thought that "Gourmet Body Treats" was going to wind up being an edible body powder line.  (It isn't, obviously.)  I haven't used this powder yet, but the pink pot it's in is SO cute so I'm sold on it either way.

Perrenial Soaps - Coffee: ($5)  I didn't notice this having much of a smell but that might change once I actually unwrap it.  I went through a phase when I was obsessed with handcrafted soaps, so my standards are pretty high.  I can't wait to see if this one lives up to them!

Total Value: $54.23

The value this month was much higher than that of last month, but I think I liked last month's assortment a bit better.  Next month is the LAST Vegan Presence shipment, so order before June 6 if you want to try it out!

April Vegan Presence Review

The Box: Vegan Presence

The Cost: $20/month

The Goods: 3-5 vegan goodies with at least one full sized product.

Stella was extremely interested in this package.  I have a dozen pictures like this.

Everything in my shipment was very prettily wrapped.  They use only biodegradable, recyclable, and/or reusable shipping materials.

Authority Cosmetics Nail Lacquer - Khloe: ($14)  All of Authority Cosmetics' polishes are 5-free.  This is a gorgeous opaque royal purple.  Look for it in a manicure post soon!

Juniper Seed Mercantile Night Time Eye Serum: I haven't tried this yet, but I'm excited that a full size bottle is only $13. All of their products are very reasonably priced and I might be placing an order with them soon...

Glamour Doll Eyes Eye Shadow - All Nighter:  ($6) In the sea of neutral eye shadows I've been receiving, this is a nice surprise.  It is a really pretty purple with fine blue shimmer. 

Sjaak's Chocolate Half Foil Egg: ($5.95)  The eggs are actually peanut butter filled chocolate and the purple egg holding them all is solid chocolate.  The chocolate is really soft and silky and I was surprised how smooth the peanut butter was.  

Total Value: $25.95 (not including the eye serum)

I was pleased with my first Vegan Presence shipment, but it came with some sad news.  June is going to be their final shipment!  However, if you're interested in signing up you can get May and June for $40 total.
