Eco Lips Cyber Weekend Deal and Gift Guide

Eco Lips created the first organic lip balm on the market and I'm a huge fan of their products! They make great stocking stuffers or gift to yourself for the holidays.

*Disclaimer: These products were sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

 
Eco Lips has a USDA-certified organic facility that is powered by renewable and solar energy. They sustainably and ethically source all of their ingredients from trusted sources around the globe. They are Fair Trade Certified, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Leaping Bunny Certified as cruelty-free. Their lip balms are also gluten-free.

The Mongo Kiss lip balms are oversized balms made with Mongongo oil from Africa and fair trade certified cocoa butter. Mongongo oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, meaning they stay on your lips and keep them hydrated for longer than saturated fatty acids like coconut oil or monounsaturated oils like jojoba oil. The Mongongo oil is sourced from rural villages in Africa that help women create more self-worth while increasing their net worth. 

These balms are available in individual Blood Orange, Vanilla Honey, Peppermint, Yumberry, Pomegranate, Acai, Banana, Coconut, Strawberry Lavender, and Unflavored balms and as 3-, 4-, 6-, and 7-packs. You can also buy a set with one lip balm and one lip scrub, as pictured above.

I tried the Peppermint, Vanilla Honey, and Pomegranate balms and they all smell so good. The Mongongo oil feels so soothing and really does provide hours of moisture. The texture is very smooth on my lips.

The Brazilian Lip Tint is available as individual balms or with a bonus vegan vanilla lip scrub in the pack pictured above. The lip tint is also vegan and is made with ethically sourced Babaçu and Pracaxi oils and Cupuaçu butter from Brazil to nourish your lips.

The tint in this pack is flavored with passionfruit and provides matte coverage for every day use. The lip scrub preps lips for the colored tint and is made with sugar. The tint is lovely and provides just enough color for everyday use.

The Seasonal Balms are especially perfect for gift giving! They're available in Gingerbread, Raspberry Truffle, and Candy Cane flavors and are made with certified organic coconut oil, beeswax, and a dash of flavor. There are no artificial fragrances, colorants, or petroleum.

My favorite is the Candy Cane flavor, but all three smell great and are a festive way to keep your lips hydrated.

The LIP FOOD lip balms are available in Nourish, Pump, and Protect. Nourish is made with Lemon with spirulina blue-green algae, Plump is Rosemary Mint with chamomile mushroom extract, and Protect is Vanilla Lavnder with pumpkin seed oil.

These oversized balms are made with plant-based ingredients and organic jojoba oil and Fair Trade Certified cocoa butter. The plant-based ingredients vary per balm and provide nourishment and soothing moisture. These balms feel great on my lips and I love that they're made with organic and nutrient-rich ingredients.

Bottom Line: Eco Lips has a bunch of lip balms and other lip products at affordable prices. They make great gifts and there's surely something for everyone on your list!

 

November Gramma in a Box Review

The holiday season has started and for many, that means lots of baking and cooking! Gramma in a Box is a great subscription to share baked goods and treats with your loved ones.

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

Gramma in a Box was started by founder Terry as a way to share candy and cookie crafts with her grandchildren after they moved away. She turned it into a subscription box for anyone to share, and it's always a fun and creative box!

Here are the pricing options:

• Monthly: $20 per month
• Three Months: $55 every three months (save $5)
• Six Months: $110 every six months (save $10)
• 12 Months: $220 every 12 months (save $20)

Shipping is free to the U.S. and taxes are included. If you want to cancel, do so by the 25th of the month. You can also try one box for $20 without a renewing subscription.

Gramma in a Box is also having a Black Friday sale from November 28th to 30th. You can get a full year for $190, which is $50 in savings! This brings the cost of each box down to only $15 per month. Use coupon code BLACKFRIDAY on November 28-30th to claim this deal.  

The November box had, of course, Thanksgiving-themed treats. Each month you'll receive all of the ingredients you'll need to create three projects with 15-20 individual treats each. The only items you'll need to supply are household basics like a bowl or spoon for mixing.

The first project was Turkey Buddies, and they came out so cute! They were made up of a Ritz cracker base with melted chocolate and candy eyes, sunflower seeds for the beaks, and candy corn for the feathers.

I love how cute these are! The Gramma in a Box crafts are always so creative (and delicious).

The second project was Harvest Bark and it involved using the remaining melted chocolate from the first project and mixing in cinnamon crunch cereal, peanuts (optional), candy corn, and sprinkles. It hardened in about five minutes and was full of sweetness.

The third project is always pre-baked cookies to decorate. The Fall Cookies were shaped like turkeys, pumpkins, acorns, and oak leaves with sprinkles and yellow, orange, and brown frosting. The cookies are a butter/sugar cookie that come sealed for freshness. It's recommended that you do the crafts within a week of receiving the box.

I had some leftover turkey eyes so I used them on them on the turkey cookies. These cookies are always so yummy and I love decorating them each month. These would be really fun to decorate with younger kids in the family.

• Visit Gramma in a Box to subscribe - First box is $10, no coupon needed
• Use coupon code 10off for $10 off a 6- or 3-month subscription! 
• Use coupon code BLACKFRIDAY on November 28-30th for a year for $190 ($15 per month)
• Connect with them on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube

Bottom Line: Gramma in a Box is always a creative way to share delicious treats with your family and friends! The November box had a great theme, and I especially loved the Turkey Buddies.

My Favorite Black Friday Deals

I'm not a Black Friday shopper, and I never have been.  I have no interest in fighting over electronics with crazy people.  It might be fun to try someday, or maybe even to observe as an interesting sociology experiment (nothing quite like two moms going at it over a Furby), but for now I'll stay out of the stores.  I prefer to do my shopping online, so I wanted to share some upcoming sales with you that I think are worth checking out.

Keeki Pure and Simple offers lip, nail, and skincare products that are all cruelty-free.  Their lip balms and lotions are made from organic ingredients, and their nail polishes are non-toxic and water-based.
Deal: Use code BF20 for 20% off your entire order on Friday only at KeekiPureandSimple.com



Lovable Labels allows you to create personalized labels for use on everything from clothing to bags and much more.  They're holding a sale from Friday to Monday; see the image above for details (the image is clickable).

Beija Flor Naturals is holding a sale from today, November 22nd to November 28th on their natural skin care and hair care products.  I've reviewed some of their products before, which can be read here.
Deal: Use code BEIJA2012 for 25% off of your entire purchase and a free gift with a $65+ purchase at BeijaFlorNaturals.com

Pangea Organics has fantastic skin care items, I love their bar soaps and lip balms.  Their Skincare Discovery Kits are also very popular.
Deal: Use code Black10 for $10 off of $50, code Black25 for $25 off of $100, and code Black45 for $45 off of $150.  These offers end at midnight on the 25th at PangeaOrganics.com

Zoya is by far my favorite nail polish brand!  Their polishes are Big 5 free, vegan, and cruelty-free.  They basically have every color imaginable, and their formula is fantastic.  I really can't rave about these polishes enough!
Deal: Zoya Dream Boxes are now on sale for $20 (regularly $25) with free shipping.  Use code DREAM through the 26th at 11:59 PM EST at Zoya.com.  Dream Boxes are gift sets of three polishes--you can choose your own or choose a pre-packaged set (more details here).
