LYRIO & CO


LYRIO & CO

Beauty Box Unboxing & Review!


You know how I love my subscription boxes and this time around I have a simply gorgeous Aussie
one! Honestly with all of the different beauty boxes there are around there are few which actually
give you full size products each time, every month!

This box is all about pampering yourself at bath time which is my favourite (and only) time to get 
some quiet 'me' time. I just love kicking back, lighting a scented candle, getting lost in a book and
playing with as many different products as the time will allow me! It is one of the most relaxing 
things to do and I believe truly does amazing things for both the body and mind.

For $39.99 per month (+ flat rate shipping of $13.40) you can treat yourself or your friends/family to
 a box just like this with locally sourced natural and cruelty free beauty bath products, because let's 
face it, getting fun mail is the best kind and when it smells this good it's bound to brighten the 
crappest of days! :)

Lyrio & Co also ship internationally (check website for specific countries) so you can easily &
conveniently purchase for your overseas family & friends!

So let's see what we get in this fabulous box which smells just like a huuuge bunch of flowers!

Soap Inspired - Spiced Valencia (130g)

Hand made soaps are my absolute favourite kind of soap! To me it looks like a delicious slice of cake.
There is just something about each individual slice which is slightly different from the other.

This earthy and spice scented all natural and vegan Aussie soap is full size and a definite treat I am
looking forward to! It is free from artificial colour, flavours and preservatives and is gentle on skin.

Ingredients include - Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Organic
Unrefined Shea Butter, Organic Unrefined Cacao Butter, Sunflower Oil, Filtered Rainwater, 
Essential Oils of Sweet Orange, May Chang & Clove, Organic Paprika, Annatto & Organic Cacao
Powder.


Salt & Glow - So Loved Rose & Milk Bath Teabag 80g

I think the idea for a bath teabag is so cute and pure genius! When you think about it, doesn't
it make perfect sense? When you make a cup of tea the aroma and flavour of the tea leaves soak
into the water. The exact same process happens where with the bath teabag and my goodness as
soon as I opened this packet the aroma of rose was so strong and intense and very very delightful!

I love that not only can you soak yourself within this Rose & Milk bath tea, once all soaked and
relaxed you can then open up the teabag and use the mix of pink himalayan, epsom and sea salts,
oat, milk powder, walnut shells and rose petals from one full rose to then exfoliate your body with!

Ah I am so excited to use this for sure! Goodbye plain old bubble bath, this is how to treat a grown up! ;)


Willow Tree Skincare - Hydrate (40g)

Moving on from pretty rose petals, keeping with the girlie theme we have this gorgeous pink clay
silk rose dry facial mask which I am planning to wear whilst I bathe in my teabag infused water.

If you aren't familiar with what to do when you come across a facial mask in powder form. You 
simply just mix a bit of water in a separate container with the powder to form a paste. You then
apply all over your face and leave for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off with warm water.

Again full of natural ingredients from this Aussie company who do not believe in animal testing!
Some of my favourite ingredients include - Pink clay, Rosehip seeds, Flower oil, White tea extract, 
Quartz and Kaolin and Jojoba seed oil.

Summer Love Body Scrub (200g)

If you know me then you know how much I love exfoliating and body scrubs! These days scrubs 
are becoming more and more popular in sealable packet form like this one and I have to say I have
fallen for the trend! The packaging is just the cutest and the smell is just delicious!

With a blend of 100% all natural ingredients including - Brown sugar, salt, coffee beans, cold
pressed macadamia oil, 100% pure lavender oil and 100% pure organic rosehip oil it is no wonder
this scrub smells good enough to eat!

Despite the name 'Summer Love' this product is suitable to use year round for both men and
women and would make a great addition to a gift hamper or basket. With Christmas just a few
short months away (don't we all know how fast that time of the year sneaks up on us!) I am keeping
this in mind as a super cute stocking filler!

MASLOW & CO


MASLOW & CO

USA WEST COAST BOX


You might remember a few posts back I recently reviewed for you Maslow & Co's previous
New Zealand beauty box in addition to reviewing and demonstrating each product in the box
on video. (WATCH HERE!) Well, get excited because Maslow & Co have been kind enough to
supply me with their latest USA West Coast box to review for you as well! Yay!


SPECIAL OFFER! - Sign up for a Maslow & Co bi-monthly membership by July 31st and
receive FREE a gorgeous travel set containing Isa Spa shampoo for revitalising hair and Isa Spa
conditioner for nourishing hair from a previous UK themed box! Just be sure to use CANDY
when you checkout! :)

Watch the unboxing below!
Subscribing, comments & thumbs up are appreciated! xo

So let's now delve into what's hot in the USA West Coast Box!

Milani Baked Blush in Corallina
This is the first ever Milani product that I now own and omg it is so beautiful! The terracotta textured
appearance is simply stunning! This is a magnificently flawless shimmery highlighter I know I am
going to be wearing to the death!

Fig & Yarrow Complexion Water in Yarrow, Immortelle & Rockrose
This product is great for the skin and can be used as a mixer with the Clay Mask (see below).
This is a great little facial toner in a easy to use mess free pump and travel sized. It doesn't contain
any harsh ingredients so it can also be used as a hydrating, toning and refreshing facial mist. (I am
loving facial mists right now for my tried face throughout the day!)

Ingredients include - Water, essentials oils including; Immortelle, Rockrose & Yarrow.

Fig & Yarrow Clay Mask Black
This mask is also available in white, red and green variations, however I am happy to have received
the black for my acne prone more oily kind of skin.

I have already used this a couple of times. Once just mixing through water and the other two with the
Fig & Yarrow complexion water (see above). Both worked really well actually. I really loved the
complete clean and soft feeling after each mask. Especially though with the complexion water, it
just seemed to tone and tighten my skin that little bit more as well as really getting in and clearing
out every speck of dirt and excess oil from my pores.

Reverie Milk Anti-Frizz Leave In Nourishing Treatment
If you follow my on Instagram or watch my Youtube videos then you would have noticed my hair
getting lighter and lighter. This means lack of moisture and damage done to my hair, which goes
without saying really that I have been putting anything and everything I can get my hands on into it to
try to restore back in the moisture and repair the damage that bleaching can unfortunately do.

This product really is an anti-frizz miracle! The fly aways which I am working hard on no getting any
more by being extra careful with tight hair ties and gentle brushing. Just a few sprays and this tames
those hairs right back into place. My hair feels much smoother and soft when I use this as well.

Marula Foaming Cleansing Oil
Since I have been using the cleansing oil from last month's box, I was intrigued to find another
cleansing oil in this box to try! Cleansing oils are ultra hydrating and are great for anti-ageing as
hydrated skin as opposed to dry skin is less likely to develop wrinkles and who wants those?!
Not me!

This product is doing quite well at giving my skin that lovely youthful plump and brightening effect.
Whilst is also cleanses away all of my makeup from the day as well as any excess oil and dirt. I
barely even need to follow up with a moisturiser after using this!

Earth's Nectar Mint Leaves Scalp Oil
My scalp has no problem producing oil so I am unsure weather I will use this honestly. It does smell
lovely though! My ends do get quite dry, so I wonder if using this on them will do any good?

My husband however does get a dry scalp so I will see if I can get him to try it! :)
The packaging is nice and manly in appearance so it just might work!

Which product takes your fancy?

Let's follow each other!

MASLOWANDCO


~  MASLOW & CO  ~
Beauty Box
New Zealand Edition
Unboxing!
 I have always wanted to travel over to New Zealand. My husband backpacked over there for a few
months right before we met and hasn't stopped raving about it's beauty ever since! One day we plan
on visiting for a family holiday. Myself and the kids are especially excited to see the snow!

So it comes as absolute no surprise how completely thrilled I am to be delving into this very special
New Zealand edition of Maslow & Co's beauty box!


I recently stumbled across Maslow & Co on Instagram and fell in love with their subscription box
service! Each month you can receive a box filled with beautiful products from a different city from
anywhere in the world! How's that for keeping things interesting?!

I am familiar with a few of the brands in this box, however others are completely new to me so
make sure you are subscribed to my Youtube channel and stay tuned for a video unboxing plus a very
special product demonstration video using all of the products from this box! In the meantime you are
welcome to watch my unboxing video below!


So let's get into the box! For only $44 you completely get your monies worth right here ten fold!
This box alone is worth an RRP of $238.05! An annual subscription will only cost you $240!

Sans [Ceuticals] Baobab Regenerative Body Cream (50ml)
Not only does this full body cream improve the skin's density, elasticity and increase the skin's
natural collagen production. It also can be use to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis and
eczema.

Contains Baobab oil, vitamin E, A and omega oils. Perfect travel or handbag size. I am actually
keeping this beside my bed for hand cream whenever I need it! (S40.05)

Evolu Anti-aging Day Cream (75ml)
I go through day creams and moisturisers like anything so I am so happy to be able to try this new
one from Evolu. It sounds like my skin could really benefit from it. I am constantly lacking in rest
and sleep and in turn my skin does look a bit on the dull side, so I am glad this product says it helps
with that! Also being anti ageing is great because I am all about fighting that loud ticking clock!
($55.00)

Ethique Lime & Ginger Body Polish (100g)
Upon opening this box the aroma coming up and surrounding me was both awakening and very fresh.
I believe to majority of the smell was coming from this product with contains a powerful punch of
lime and ginger.

The bar itself feels a bit greasy when held which is from the ginger oils. Also contains cocoa butter
and bamboo powder. I cannot wait to use this! I love body polishes and usually scrub up at least every
second day. I hate the thought of dead skin cells just sitting on the surface of my body, so I love to
scrub up from head to toe most days. ($20.00)

Martina Organics Oil Cleanser (30ml)
This is one of my favourite products in the whole box! If you watch my video above, when I first
tested it on my skin, I was surprised that it completely absorbed into my skin! It left no residue and
left my skin feeling really hydrated and soft.

It says to use with warm water and wash off. However I would happily use this to moisturise my dry
areas. This power oil does a lot - treats acne, clears out your pores, helps to reduce redness and
scarring, hydrates, removes excess makeup and sebum and of course cleanses the skin. ($29.00)

Linden Leaves Intensive Repair Eye Cream (15ml)
The ingredient list of this product is short and pure. I am so impressed with this and have already
began using it! With only organic white tea, melon extract, aloe vera, and echium seed oil listed in
this product, it is refreshing to find an effective eye product that is so natural with no chemicals.

Soothes, ageing and tired eyes. This sounds like me in a nut shell! Bring on the soothing please!
($45.00)

Antipodes Chia & Kiwi Seed Superfood Serum (30ml)
I have tried Antipodes products before and found them to be really lovely and I find droppers
and serums in general great. my skin loves them and responds well.

This product is meant to be super moisturising and full of all the good stuff your skin loves
like essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins C & E and omega 3. ($49.00)

If you like what you see you can sign up for your very own Maslow & Co subscription either
bi-monthly at $44 per box or annually at $40 per box!

If you do feel like treating yourself to an annual subscription as my lovely readers you can use my
very special code CANDYFAIRY at checkout & you will also receive your very own NZ box as a
bonus! But be quick because this offer is only open until May 31st!


Stay tuned as I will also be reviewing for you Maslow & Co's next box which will be products from
the USA!

JANUARY BELLABOX


~ BELLABOX ~

JANUARY 2015!



If you missed my review on last month's Bellabox, you can read all about it here.
I signed up for a 3 month subscription through a voucher I had for iSubscribe. :)

So here is my second box! Hooray! Overall, I think I preferred last month's box.
However I'm not hating this months as it's quite good and I am already looking forward
to next months which comes with a bonus free magazine!

Downside - I am missing the turquoise blue polka dot box which last month's came in as
it is a nice book to keep to store randoms in. However this month they have skipped a nice
looking box as the post post it arrived in was the 'box'! Guess they are trying to cut costs,
perhaps so they can provide every box with a more equal share of products as I am aware of
a large number of subscribers who have been jipped and are quite fed up and I don't blame them!
I think I have been lucky with my boxes so far!


Interested in a subscription? You can sign up right here!

 Laqa & Co Lip Lube in 'Menatour'
RRP: $24.95
(FULL SIZE)
I love these kinds of lip crayon type of product as they're so much fun to apply as it makes me
feel like a kid again playing with my crayons. Only on my face! ha! :)
This has a minty scent to it similar to that of the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains!
I am really happy with the colour I received. This is purple with pink undertones so it isn't too
ott purple like the straight up purple Velourlips in Tok-i-o! It actually just gives a light tint to
your lips with a minty feel.

Exclusive Bellabox Makeup Pouch
RRP: $7.95
(FULL SIZE)
This is quite compact and cute with the polka dots. I can see myself using this when I go
on weekends away. Now as I sit here looking at it, I think it is actually the perfect size
to pack the kids toothbrushes and toothpaste into! :)

Skinnymint 28 Day Ultimate Teatox
Full Size RRP: $54.90 (28 Days)
(SAMPLE) 6 DAY
I seem to see this 'Skinny Tea' stuff everywhere and to be honest it has never interested me.
However, after reading over this pack, it does seem worth trying as it is mean to do a whole
lot of good for your body. I don't need to loose weight, however an increase in energy would
be quite beneficial to me, so I will give this a go.

Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid
Full Size RRP: $33.00 (118ml)
(TRAVEL SIZE) 30ml
I am actually using a very similar exfoliant by Paula's Choice at the moment which I am
working on featuring in an upcoming post very soon. So this will have to wait it's turn.
I do like the sound of it though and it seems like the kind of product I like to use on my skin.
Contains Salicylic Acid, which always keeps my skin clear and it says it deminishes enlarged
pores and I am always trying to find ways to make my pores smaller. So looking forward to this!

Wen By Chaz Dean Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner
Full Size RRP: $34.99 (350ml)
(SAMPLE) 60ml
I have never tried a Wen product but heard they are amazing in terms of quality and results.
The packaging reminds me a bit of a scary movie or book cover. However this is no big deal
so long as I like the product itself. Sweet Almond Mint sounds like an interesting combo which
I haven't seen around a lot. I am looking forward to trying out this generous size satchet!

BONUS!
Natralus Paw Paw Pure Gel
Full Size RRP: $10.65 (75g)
(SAMPLE)
I had something recently bite me on my leg when I was hanging the washing out and it
left quite a decent size bruise! I have no idea what it was, but I was quite shocked at the bruise
it left! There have been heaps few bugs and insects around in the steamy weather lately so I am
sure I will be able to put this to some good use in no time!

What subscription boxes are you signed up with?
Let me know if you have a Bellabox unboxing post for this month!
I'd love to read it! :)

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Aussie Day long weekend!

BELLABOX DEC


~ BELLABOX ~

December 2014 Box!

 Sign up here to get $5 off your first box!


A few months ago I had a voucher to spend on http://www.isubscribe.com.au
and whilst browsing around I stumbled across BellaBox subscriptions so I thought
why not? I'm not a big fan of accumulating countless magazines, I'd rather a surprise
box each month with actual products I can use and enjoy, rather than just reading about them!

So I purchased a 3 month subscription and then waited and waited....and waited!
More than 3 months passed by. (They say to wait up to 8 weeks for your first delivery.)
So I was more than patient in my opinion, and sick of waiting, I figured something wasn't quite
right and I would probably be waiting forever. So I contacted BellaBox to chase it up.

Not 100% sure what went wrong. But it seems to me there must have been a glitch in the
system somewhere along the lines and they either never received my order from iSubscribe
or it just got missed.

Anyhow, a few days later it was all sorted and my first box was finally on the way!
YAY!

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has done a bit of sticky beeking around the social network
and seen a lot of mixed reviews and feelings about this months box as there was a bit of
variety of products which were sent out. I was very fortunate to receive a Kora Organics
product. Other boxes I have seen received the Kora Organics Hydrating Mask. If I'd have had
the luxury to have chosen, I would have picked that as I already have this Kora Organics
Day & Night Cream. However, it is a lovely product, so am also very happy to have a
back up as it is quite pricey.  Some others received a Fuse Gelnamel Starter Kit which I am
glad to have missed as I already have it and have no need for a second one.

It has me wondering what the following 2 boxes will hold as there have been a lot of
people receive boxes containing just sample satchets which is quite disheartening and I feel
bad for those people as I feel that that is quite unfair for the price you pay. 

Kora Organics
Soothing Day & Night Cream
RRP: $ (50ml)
(FULL SIZE)


Evo
Liquid Rollers Curl Balm
RRP: $29.95 (FULL SIZE)
(SAMPLE)

Wella Professional
Luxe Oil
RRP: $42.00 (FULL SIZE)
(SAMPLE)

Elizabeth Mott
It's So Big Mascara
RRP: $25.00
(FULL SIZE)

Coastal Scents
Revealed Palette Sampler Quad
RRP: $35.00 (FULL SIZE)
(SAMPLE)

SWATCHES!
I really love these shades and will get a lot of use out of this sampler quad.
I would be interested in purchasing the full sized palette based on these shades so far as they
as quite pigmented and the shimmery ones are so so pretty and I love that it's mixed with some
basic wearable everyday mattes as well.


BONUS ITEM!

Maybelline
Superstay Better Skin Foundation
RRP: $23.95 (FULL SIZE)
(SAMPLE)
