The Kloverbox for March 2016 just arrived today, March 21st! The box arrived timely, and I’m really liking the contents this month. There’s only one beauty item, but the other three items are lifestyle items that I’m definitely interested in, so all in all, it’s great and this is exactly the kind of box I was looking for from Kloverbox.
- Buckaroo Organics Soapberry Suds Laundry Detergent – 20 load pouch / $9.95 – (Full size product) We’ve been using 7th Generation liquid laundry detergent because it’s better on the environment and contains only natural scents, not those harsh, overpowering scents other detergents contain. I’ve never used powdered detergent before, but I’m willing to give this a try! There’s a scoop inside the pouch too, and it’s a remarkably small amount needed to do a load of laundry, so that’s awesome too. The price point is a lot higher than 7th Generation’s detergent, so it would have to really blow me away to be a regular staple in the laundry room. I’ll have to do some laundry this week and report back!
Bagito Bag – 1 bag / $7.50 – (Full size product) Printed by Inkredible Image, the bag is made from 25 plastic bottles. I LOVE having reusable bags on hand, especially smaller ones like this for those quick stops at a drug store or grocery store for a few items. It saves me from bringing home tons of plastic bags, and this one in particular is really rather nice. The fabric is softer than the usual recycled-plastics bag and the pouch has a snap to attach it to the bag. Additional image of the bag out of the pouch to the right. A regular, non-printed Bagito bag costs $4.99, and a portion of the proceeds go to a non-profit that supports environmental education. Inkredible Image did the printing on the bag with soy based inks.- Vana Body Coconut Clay Mask – 1.2 oz / $21 – (Full size product) It smells absolutely lovely. The ingredient list is nice and simple with just four ingredients which is something I love to see. As for the price point, it’s a sizeable jar, so I can see it lasting a good long while. Of course, I had to try it right away! I used plain old water with this, though I’m willing to bet that using yogurt as the liquid base would be just about perfect. The powder dissolved quickly in water, but there’s also a chunkier powder in there that works to exfoliate if you scrub lightly while applying the mask. It felt cooling as it dried. Washed it off and found the little exfoliator bits clogged up my washcloth, so this is something I could see using before a shower so it’s easier to wash off. I did get the usual clay-mask-flush after washing it off which is no different than any other clay mask I’ve used. My favorite part about this is absolutely the scent and the fact that it both exfoliates and works as a mask.
- Paddywax Candle – 2.5 oz / $5 – (Full size product) I received the scent, “Fresh Meyer Lemon,” and it’s really delightful. Sometimes lemon scented stuff goes over the edge into smelling like lemon dish detergent, but this one has a sweetness to it that keeps it on the pleasant side of the lemony spectrum. I actually like getting little candle tins like this to burn while I’m working at the computer. It’s a nice way to make my home work space just a little more pleasant.
Total value comes to $43.45 which may be on the lower end for this box, but it still more than covers the price of $25 or less per month depending on subscription length. Personally, I think it’s a really great box and I’ll definitely use everything inside, so even if the dollar value isn’t super high, I really appreciate everything in the box and am super happy with this month!
