Green Grab Bag Review & #Giveaway



Taking joy in living is a woman's best cosmetic.

About:

For nearly five years, White Apricot’s staff has been trying hundreds of natural and organic beauty products, and sharing our favorites with you every week. Now, you can get at least six minis every month of some of these wonderful brands in our eco friendly Green Grab Bag. If you like what you try, there will be a WHITE APRICOT EXCLUSIVE OFFER WAITING FOR YOU WITH A DISCOUNT ON THE FULL SIZED VERSIONS!

Not too long ago, White Apricot’s Beauty Editor extraordinaire, Bonny Osterhage, realized that it must be overwhelming for our readers to figure out what to try from the myriad of products we write about.  You basically have to take a leap of faith and shell out for potentially expensive full size versions of something you’ve never used before.  We get to sample all the products before we take a plunge, but you don’t.  Bonny’s epiphany was that we should take our beauty coverage to the next level and let you actually try samples of products we like, so you can TRY BEFORE YOU BUY – just like we do. She brought the idea to White Apricot founder, Carrie Pollare, and the Green Grab Bag was born.

What makes this even more fun is that every month is a surprise, delivered right to your door.  We’re going to put some fantastic samples in our Green Grab Bags – from hair and skin care to makeup and fragrances.  You never know what you’ll get, but we promise, it will be good!  When you find something you like, visit White Apricot’s Exclusive Offers page to get a great discount on the full sized versions, using a special code just for our readers.  How cool is that?!

Thoughts from Carli:


I personally think it's harder to find natural, organic products. And when I do find them, most are on-line and don't offer sample sizes. I'm not really in a position to fork out for full size products -- some of which can be more expensive than their chemical laden counterpart -- to see if I like something. Enter Green Grab Bag!

When I received the January bag I was sooo excited! That is why I had to use the website pic. I kinda messed up my bag tearing into it.

There were three face products and three body products (and yes, I've started using the. and yes, reviews will follow soon!). These were nice size samples or if they were the little samples you might get at the store or in a magazine there was two each. Which is very nice because it's just too hard to judge something from one try.

January products!
On the outside of the bag is a little tag that explained each product which is so helpful. Sample sizes don't always have room to give you full details! I love that I can get exclusive discounts if I decide to keep using the products.

I would love to give this to my sister as a gift. She would love even a three month subscription. It's a fun way for you to show some love to someone each month!

Also, I have to say that the Green Grab bag website is a find in itself. These gals share a lot about what they've learned about the various beauty products, tips, tricks, etc. It's awesome!

  3. I actually subscribed and recvd my first bag in Jan. Mine was nothing like yours and while I loved the adorable packaging and I did love 3 of the products and I love the idea of organic and healthy products, I only received a very small sampling of products, most of which offered only a few uses because the samples sizes were so small. I certainly don't expect to get full size or large size samples but would hope to get sizes large enough for two weeks so you can at least be sure how a product performs. Anyway, I am giving it another try because I so love the idea and hope my 2nd bag will offer more! :-)
