Beekman 1802 Honeyed Grapefruit Facial Cleansing Towelettes: The Goat Syndicate is back! I was starting to miss the goats. I love Beekman 1802’s packaging.

The made-in-the-USA wipes are paraben and sulfate-free. The goats drink the mineral-rich waters found in Sharon Springs, New York. They have a few adorable goat pictures on their website. The website is ad-heavy, so I am not sure how it will look on a cell phone.

 

Resealable!

No need to worry about the wipes drying out. The package is resealable.The goat milk wipes have notes of lemon blossom, red grapefruit, and guava. The wipe itself has a distinctive fruity scent. The wipe felt gentle against my skin and left behind a subtle trace of mainly grapefruit. The wipe is large enough to cleanse your face of makeup or wipe down parts of your body as needed.

The goats are luring me in with their beautiful packaging.

 

Beeckman 1802 Lip Balm

Beeckman 1802 Wandermint Conditioning Lip Balm: The lip balm packaging is decadent. There are no parabens, phthalates or fragrances. Most of the ingredients are organic.

 

I love their packaging!

The lip balm has a great consistency that glides onto your lips with a minty tingle. I like the simplicity of the lip balm design. It’s perfect to keep in your purse for the upcoming holiday parties.

Yes, the goats have won me over!

 

Mindul Minerals get Even Cleanser
Mindful Minerals get Even Cleanser

Mindful Minerals Get Even Cleanser: The made-in-the-USA travel-size cleanser is great for acne.  It’s an exfoliating cleanser designed to be used three times a week. Created without parabens, fragrances or sodium lauryl sulfate; ingredients such as dead sea minerals, willow bark extract, and aloe helps heal the skin.

My sister will be getting even with her acne by using this cleanser!

 

Mindful Minerals Mind Your Hair Conditioner

Mindful Minerals Mind Your Hair Conditioner Lavender & Tea Tree: The ingredients help balance the scalp Ph. One of the ingredients is apple cider vinegar. There are mixed reviews about whether apple cider vinegar will strip hair color. I am going to save the conditioner to use right before it is time to refresh my color.

Once upon a time my hair had natural red highlights.

 

Ofra Eyeliner

Ofra Eyeliner – Brown: The eyeliner has a gentle touch. It’s designed for sensitive eyes.

I’m not as good as an artist as Pnut.

I’m trying! I know nothing about eyeliners!

 

ETA:  I looked over my post and saw that the Mindful Mineral Items are expired. I apologize for not catching that earlier. I do check the expiration dates on the items and read it as 2016. I will contact Little Lace Box to see what is their response.

 

Verdict: It’s a great group of items.I was pleased to see Beekman 1802 items in the pouch. I will be purchasing the November Serendipity Pouch.

    Try a smiley face I think I will do that next eyeliner swatch … Or a flower … I have no clue why I am getting excited over future eyeliner swatches lol.
    Like the review but I am noting that Ofra is heavily used in subscription boxes it must be this year’s Purlisse.

      I thought Harvey Prince was this year’s Purlisse. I have often thought about what will show up in every subscription box next year. In related news, I need a life.

        If you find one, can you see if there is another one under it for me?

    I’m really happy with this sub. The Beekman 1802 products are fabulous and it’s a new brand to me. I like the eyeliner and I’m usually not into pencil eyeliners. I hadn’t noticed that the Mindful Minerals products had expired and have used them a few times and liked the products. I can absolutely see myself buying products from these brands in the future.

    Ooh, curiouser and curiouser… I would like to try this pouch [did it come in an actual pouch? was it kangaroo-esque?] but I had a bad experience with LLB and their customer experience stories people posted on MUT and MSA are horrifying. Perhaps I shall see how it goes.
