Review- Yuzen Spring Box

I signed up for Yuzen after they announced they would be going to a quarterly format and after reading all the positive reviews. The box was packaged beautifully but I couldn't wait to open it and didn't take pictures.

Yuzen is $26/quarter, here's a few sentences from the About section of their site: Yuzen offers a box of elegant items to subscribers every 3 months. We focus on the experience of relaxation, pause and delight that each box embodies. Our selection and packaging is carefully designed for a well rounded offering of surprise presented in an elegant package. Most of our products are premium sample-sized which can last well over a month. 

Here's what was in the Spring box;

KNEIPP Deep Sleep Mineral Bath Salts; This was a packet (about the size of those packets of tuna you can buy). Again, my bath isn't that great so I haven't tried this yet but it sounds fun.

 Red Flower Italian Blood Orange Candle: This candle smells amazing but I was disappointed only because I thought it was going to be bigger, it's very tiny even though it indicates it has about a 14hr burn time.   Update 3/22/13; I tried this but honestly couldn't smell anything

Spa Technologies Marine Repair Creme; This is an anti-aging cream. I have a lot of creams right now so I haven't tried this quite yet. 

 Naturopathica Espresso Mud Body Scrub; Haven't tried this yet but I hope it smells like coffee, yum!
Update 3/22/13; I have now used this and while it certainly leaves your skin smooth, the coffee smell is strong, SO strong. I love coffee but this is a bit much for me

Essence of Vali Eau de Parfum; I had actually requested a sample of this through the Essence of Vali site and received this, the sleep sample (in the prior months box) and a body oil. This wasn't really my favorite, it has a spa like smell but honestly I think it smells a little like citronella. I do however LOVE the sleep stuff that was included last month in Yuzen and may order that in the future.

JUARA Avocado Banana Moisture Mask; Another face product that I haven't used yet, but since Yuzen is every quarter, I'll have plenty of time.
Update 3/22/13; I LOVE this, it has a spicy smell to me which for some reason is really comforting. It is also really moisturizing. 


Jane Iredale's lip treatments; I thought this was going to be one full size product so I was surprised to find three mini products;   A Lip and Cheek Stain, a Lip Plumper and one that includes an SPF.

Nova Monda Chocolate Truffle Hearts; This included two truffles, one with salt on top and one with cocoa. I don't really love dark chocolate so these weren't my favorite but they were good and I bet if I liked dark chocolate they would have been amazing. 

I promise I'll take pictures of the next box, it's hard for me to judge this box yet since I haven't tried many of the items and since it's my first one. More to come on this one...
