After about a month of thought, I've decided that I am going to haul my monthly Eco Emi and Birchbox on my blog and then review the products at the end of the month in a video on my Youtube channel. I think this is a much better idea, because then I can really share what I think of the products in the video instead of just sharing them and saying what they're supposed to do. Anyway, I'll be starting with my November Eco Emi box and my Birchbox haul will be up shortly after this. Please note that all the descriptions of the products come from the card written by the owner of Eco Emi and are her opinions. I hope you all enjoy!

Here's the card explaining all of this month's products.
The intro reads:
Hi everyone,
I hope you enjoy your November box which is our first Holiday box. Its getting to be that time of year when the world starts to quiet down, the leaves are falling and winter is starting to approach. This is a great time to pamper yourself with green goodness and this box has a little of everything you need to unwind and relax. Your items are all tucked away inside a reusable makeup bag ideal for your purse or traveling. We hope you have enjoyed the many lip balms that have been featured over the past months. We will soon stop featuring these for a period of time giving you a chance to use and enjoy them. We have many great products lined up that we have never featured and we are excited to introduce you to them!
Happy Holidays!
