Love Bags Snack Pouch (set of 2)  Ohhh, these are cool!  I had received a Lovebag in a past Kloverbox  and it was a lunch bag ~ these are snack pouches that are washable ~ just put in the top rack of your dishwasher.   I love this print ~ it is called Love Blanket and it reminds me of Native American blanket designs.  They have a camo print and a really cute alien print, which I think I have to get now!   Love Bags also makes pouches for your iPad or tablet, backpacks and much more.

Go Green Miracle Balm  This is a lovely salve made with natural oils and butters and is perfect if you suffer from dry, chapped or cracked skin.  The ingredients are all 100% pure and natural and just a few ~ coconut oil (cocos nucifera oil), shea butter (butyrospermum parkii), arnica oil – sunflower seed oil, extra virgin olive oil, arnica oil/arnica montana (natural anti-inflammatory), aroma oil blend [organic lavender oil, lemon oil, palmarosa oil, natural vanilla fragrance, wintergreen oil], vitamin E (natural d-alpha tocopherol) and beeswax.  

This can be used not only on your skin, but on the ends of your hair to help with split ends, add to your scalp and alliterative dry scalp and can be used to help remove makeup while moisturizing your face.  Use on your feet to help remove dead skin and on your hands to remove callouses.  I am torn between keeping this for myself or giving it to my mom!! I know my mom will be out and about in her garden and her skin is so thin ~ she gets bruises and cuts so easily and she also suffers from dry skin. I think she will really love this balm as not only it is made with some lovely ingredients, but will help soothe her skin too.  This also smells lovely ~ the aromatic blend of oils gives this a light, but warm herbaceous scent.  Go Green also makes a muscle rub balm as well.

Goodness Knows Snack Squares in Very Cranberry  Food, snacks!  yum.  These little squares marry my love of dried fruits and chocolate together ~ Very Cranberry has dark chocolate, roasted almonds and dried cranberries with a chewy yet crispy texture ~ due to the crisp rice!  I ate these pretty quickly as they were that good ~ they weren’t really sweet, just enough with the dried fruit and the semi-bitterness of the dark chocolate.  Very tasty!  At 150 calories per 4 squares, no artificial sweeteners, coloring or flavors,  this is a treat you can love.   Goodness Knows also makes this in 2 other flavors: apple, almond, peanut & dark chocolate and peach, cherry, almond & dark chocolate RV $1.00

Description: Each one of our packs contains four delicious snack squares made with tangy sweet cranberries, roasted almonds, and dark chocolate. The dark chocolate experience of goodnessknows® snack squares begins with hand-selected cocoa beans, gently handled using our patented approach to retain more of the naturally occurring phytonutrients in cocoa – the cocoa flavanols – the real goodness of cocoa in every bite. 

 

Ingredients: Dried cranberries(cranberries, sugar), almonds, crisp rice (rice flour, rice bran, raisin juice concentrate, honey, salt), toasted oats (oats, brown sugar, sugar), brown rice syrup, chocolate, sugar, dried cane syrup, cocoa powder, almond butter (almonds), canola oil, glycerin, cocoa butter, milkfat, seasalt, soy lecithin, natural flavors, mixed tocopherols to maintain freshness, almond oil, peanut oil.

Deco Naturals Lemon + Sea Clay Mask OMG!!  I just did a mask review of their Prickly Pear + Aloe mask on IG and had remarked how sad I was that the owner  ~ she started her business when she was a teenager and she is in college now ~ had closed the doors on her shop.  This is an overstock, random product picked by Kloverbox and it is to clear out stock to make room for new items ~ this must have been left over from when we received this mask last year ~  I had received the Prickly Pear + Aloe version while other members could have received this one instead.   I am so happy to get this as I really wanted to try it as I love the Aloe version ~ this one has sea clay to help remove dirt, oil and debris from your skin and it also has lemon and tea tree to help cleanse, absorb oil and act as an anti-bacterial to help clear up blemishes and other skin issues.   It is 100% natural, cruelty free and vegan.  It has a lovely lemon scent to it.  I am so excited to add this mask to my collection!  Full Size 4 oz Value $26.00 (but you cannot purchase anywhere anymore)

Description: This potent mask purifies and clears oily skin, drawing toxins and impurities. dead sea clay rejuvenates and clarifies as lemon peel absorbs excess oil. Detoxifying and revitalizing, this luxury powder provides an oasis for your skin.

How To Use: in a small dish, add liquid to a small quantity of mask until a thick paste forms. apply to face, allow time to dry, and gently rinse. we suggest using either water (easy for all skin types), yogurt (soothing + exfoliating), or honey (nourishing + combats problem skin).

Ingredients: bentonite clay, sea clay, lemon peel powder, lemon and tea tree essential oil

 

This is a great box this month ~ lots of lovely eco-friendly, artisan crafted items.  I love the Love Bags Snack pouches and actually think they would be great to carry some smaller skincare items, what do you think?  The Go Green Miracle Balm sounds perfect for those who not only have dry skin, but also work with their hands, like my mom in her garden.   I bet my sister will be using some of that balm too, as she is a big gardener as well.  Eco-friendly, biodegradable tampons and wipes in a subscription box sound like a grand idea ~ I love the idea of these wipes as well.   Goodness Knows snack squares are already eaten, they were that good and I am THRILLED beyond belief to get my hands on that elusive Deco Naturals Lemon + Sea Clay mask ~ I remember when I went to purchase it last year and found out that the store had closed 😦  So I am really happy to get that and look for a mask review on IG soon!   Honestly, it seems I cannot have enough masks in my home 😉  I paid $15.00 due to a Black Friday promo code + renewing 3 month subscription and received a value of almost $60.00!!   Do you subscribe to Kloverbox?  What was your favorite product this month and what was your overstock item?
