Honest Company May 2014: Essentials Bundle Review

One of my new favorite subscription boxes is The Honest Company.  The Honest Company's subscription is a little different than most subscription services.  For example, The Honest Company calls their monthly subscription a "bundle" rather than a "box".  You can cancel your subscription at any time, and you can choose which items you want in your bundle rather than filling out a survey/profile and having the company choose your products (you mix a match five items from the list of products they provide).  You also have an option to add three more items to your monthly bundle- when you add three or more items to your bundle you will receive a 25% discount on those products.  The Honest Company  has three different types of monthly bundles: The Diapers & Wipes Bundle (one month supple of eco-friendly diapers and all natural wipes), which retails for $79.95; the Essentials Bundle (natural, non-toxic home and personal essentials), which retails for $35.95; and the Health and Wellness Bundle (vitamins and supplements); which retails for $39.95.  I chose to subscribe to the Essentials Bundle.


This month I chose the following items for my Essentials Bundle:

I am pretty picky when it comes to shampoos and conditioners but I was pleasantly surprised after using these- my hair was soft, well hydrated, and was easy to comb.  I also like that the shampoo can also be used as a body wash, which is really great, especially if you are traveling and low on luggage space!  I will definitely be reordering this combo in future bundles.  

    

I am in LOVE with this detangler!!  It smells amazing and does a great job at detangling my hair, as well as adding some extra conditioning.  I usually use Perfect10 leave-in conditioner but this has replaced it.  I will also be purchasing this in future bundles.  The lotion is good as well, very light and smells good, but I have other lotion products like I like better so I may leave this product out of my next bundle.

This toothpaste is great!!  I love that it makes my mouth feel clean without being too overpowering.  Because the flavor is not too intense, this would be a great toothpaste for kids.

I love this soap!!  It smells AMAZING!!!  And the best part is that it does not leave a nasty residue or dry out my skin like other bar soaps.  This will definitely be something I will be re-adding to my future bundles.

      

I saw these towels on the website and had to try them out!!  These towels are super soft, very absorbent and are 100% organic cotton, which means you can toss them in the washer/dryer with no problem.!!  I definitely recommend these!!

Lip Shimmer $5.95
*this item was a limited edition item, and not available for resale, so I am guesstimating the price
This is a limited edition item, which was included in the Mother's Day Gift Set.  I purchased one (check out my review) and LOVED the lip shimmer!!  I had been using it sparingly because I was not sure when the website would offer this again, but I was pleasantly surprised to find one included as a free special gift in this months bundle!!

     
     

Honest Company Earth Day Tote
*this item was a free with a code, so there is no resale value to report
This was a special code add-on.  I love that the bag can be folded down to a smaller size so it fits easily in your purse or even pocket, but then also opens up to a bigger size.  When fully open this bag is slightly bigger than the reusable grocery bags you can purchase at the grocery store which is awesome!!!  I hope they end up selling these on the website or offer it again as another special code add-on because I'd like to have another, or two.

This is my second month with Honest Company Essentials Bundle.  I think next month I will be comprising my bundle with the products I've loved the most out of my last two bundles- it'll be hard to choose because all of the Honest Company's products are awesome!

What do you think of my Honest Company May Essential Bundle?
