White Apricot Green Grab Bag for December

I just signed up for a subscription to the Green Grab Bag from White Apricot last month, so I received my first one in the mail this month. It costs $15/month (and shipping is free) or you can purchase a one year subscription for $145 (which is at a 20% discount).

Each month, you will get at least six samples of skin or hair care products, make-up, fragrances and more, sometimes with an extra bonus. Each bag will also come with descriptions of the products inside and some guidance on how to use them. The retail prices of the full sized products are listed, and there are usually coupon codes that can be used to get discounts on the products.

What makes the Green Grab Bag different from other sample boxes? You get mini's of the best natural, organic and vegan skin care and hair care, make-up, fragrance and more. It's also important to note that all of their packaging is eco-friendly: from the bag itself, shredded filler and cards, to their shipping boxes, tape and wrapping materials.


The theme of this month's bag was "products that will leave you smooth and soft from head to toe" (which is exactly how it was worded on the product info card).

The contents of the bag were:

Better Botanicals Clarifying Facial Scrub: Polish skin to perfection with this clarifying scrub that is gentle enough for use every day. $18.99 (I've used this product once so far, and there were actually 2 samples of it in the bag, so I'll get to use it a few more times at least. I really liked it. I thought it was gentle for being a scrub, and it has an earthy smell too. My skin felt very soft and smooth after using this.)

Essence of Vali Sleep Oil: A good night's sleep is moments away with this potent concentrate that promotes relaxation and stress relief. $18 (I can't wait to try this out tonight!)

Kohana Coffee Butter Creme and Lavender Creme: Winter in the islands with this line of skincare, filled with exotic butters and extraordinary natural and organic ingredients. Prices Range from $17-$32 (I've already used all of the Lavender Body Creme, which smells wonderful! It left my skin feeling soft and smooth, without any greasy or sticky feeling. It's not too thick or too thin, and it kept my skin hydrated for a long time.)

Golden Path Alchemy Renew Serum: Soft, hydrated skin is yours with these intensely moisturizing serums. Can also aid in minimizing scars and stretch marks! $29-$98

Juara Sweet Black Tea and Rice Facial Moisturizer: Fight off lines and wrinkles and boost skins natural radiance with this special hydrating blend of all natural ingredients. Mix it with your favorite foundation for a matte, but moist finish. $48

Sumbody Milky Rich Soap: Lather up with this goat's milk soap that deeply penetrates to nourish and moisturize dry, sensitive or damaged skin. $5.95 (I won't be using this item since it isn't vegan :( but I will give it out to a friend or relative so it gets used).

All of the products in this month's bag were vegan and cruelty-free, except for the Sumbody Milky Rich Soap. I can't wait to see what's in my bag next month!
