I am exceedingly pleased with this month's Eco Emi box (which has generally been pretty much a joy to receive over the few months I've had it).  I recommend the service to anyone looking for foofy indulgent all-natural makeup and bath products and snacks to try out.  This month's box included samples of mandarin orange whipped shea butter, citrus pink peppercorn chocolate, volcanic mud mask, pink gold mineral eyeshadow, citrus vanilla shampoo, flaxseed berry cocoa powder, gardenia soap, pinot wine inspired lip tint, and probably one or two other things I forgot.  Everything is lovingly and adorably wrapped. 

It cheers me up every month (:

I had a peek at their website out of curiosity and there is something I forgot to ask you: Do you use up the things they send you and if not, how do you feel about storing them/throwing them away?

I typically do use up the things they send -- I do have to keep reminding myself to use them rather than save them otherwise I'll forget about them. So for example, soaps/shampoos will immediately go in the shower and I start using them the next morning.

It's pretty rare I would just toss something, though it has happened (an eye cream made my eyes sting and tear up). Sometimes it takes a long time (like lip glosses and such) and then I just keep them with my makeup/bath products in a drawer in the bathroom. I try to look through the drawer regularly to make sure things aren't gathering dust.
