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!

7 SKINS


~  7 SKINS YOUTH  ~
Natural Skincare That Rocks

Skincare Review!


It is no secret that I have acne prone skin. Getting my first zit when I was eleven is still clearly
imprinted in my mind. I suffered pretty awful skin all throughout my teens and even into my early
20's. I am so happy my skin has calmed itself down over the past ten or so years as I have learnt how
to care for my skin, tried a billion different products and acne fighting remedies and perfected a
routine twice daily skincare routine for myself which just comes naturally to me now and is actually
a ritual I look forward to and enjoy, especially at the end of a long day! It is nice and relaxing to
spend some quite, quality 'me' time!

Throughout my teen years I wasn't very educated in terms of skincare products and I remember just
having Saperderm soap in the bathroom which was my face wash. Thinking back I cringe at the
thought of using a cake of soap to wash my face with! Majorly oil stripping, it is no wonder my skin
went into sebum reproduction overdrive!

Lucky of teens now a days there are some fantastic Aussie brands helping us out with products
designed especially just for acne sufferers and adults alike as I have found 7 Skins to be a fantastic
and effective brand with their range of products for my 'normal' adult skin which if you watch my
Youtube videos you will probably notice still gets the odd zit pop up every now and then.

Organic Fab Face Detox Tea
Ever since my professional teeth whitening experience I have been trying not to drink so much
coffee so have been working through not only my variant random flavoured tea but also this 100%
certified organic, Aussie made and owned detox tea to help to cleanse my body both inside and out.

With a refreshing blend of ingredients including - burdock, dandelion root, liquorice, nettle leaf, St
Mary's thistle, lemon peel, lemon verbena, red clover, calendula petals & rhubarb root, the flavour is
unique and easy to drink. It is recommended to try 2-3 cups per day, however I have been trying 1-2
and finding my body responding well in the detoxing and appearance of my skin whilst using the
other complimenting products from the 7 Skins Youth range.

4 Week Supply! (2 Cups Per Day) $18.95 (60gms)

Fab Face Mist in Lavender
Over since I first tried using a face mist, I cannot tell you just how much I love and enjoy them!
Particularly during Summer when it gets insanely humid, having a refreshing, cooling facial mist on 
hand to cool you down and refresh the skin is addictive!

Facial mists not only hydrate your skin. This blend of lavender, augustifolia, distillate and grapefruit
 seed extract also tones, cleansers, controls oiliness, helps to heal acne and keeps your skin's natural 
ph balance in check! Additionally with it's antibacterial and antiseptic properties, this facial mist also
reduces redness, skin irritations, soothes sunburn and can be used on minor grazes and burns to calm 
the skin. Trust me, this all rounder is a must have for both your skincare routine and first aid kit, I 
have been using it like crazy over the past couple of months. And because it is all natural and does
not contain any nasty chemical ingredients I can safely use it on my kids. Bonus! 

Also available in Rose, Orange Blossom & Chamomile! $15.95 (150ml)

Zappin Zeolite Acne Mask
I haven't had much experience when it comes to using powdered facial masks before, however this
has been fun to use and being a loose powder, this ensures the ingredients stay fresher, longer!

This mask can be used as both a deep cleansing facial mask or as an exfoliant which is highly
effective when used several times per week whilst experiencing a break out. You can mix some of
the formula with water or if you want to pack even more goodness into your skin, the 7 Skins Youth
facial mists can be spritzed into a moist paste and then applied to the skin.

Ingredients include - Organic Australian zeolite & french green clay.
It is recommended to mix your mask into a plastic bowl using a non metal spoon as the clay will
absorb the metal and therefore not be as effective. (Weird fact!)

I found the mask to dry completely after around ten minutes and once rinsed away my skin felt
amazing and looked renewed, fresher and you could really see how deeply it cleaned out my pores!
Loved seeing them so clear and free of dirt and the dead skin build up completely gone!

Available online now directly to purchase from the 7 Skins Youth website. $15.95 (100gms)

Fab Face Acne Serum
This might be a little 15ml bottle, but boy does it pack a powerful acne fighting punch!
With soothing, healing, cleansing, antibacterial, antiseptic (to name just a few!) ingredients
including - grape seed oil, organic black cumin seed oil, watermelon seed oil, lavender essential oil, 
sandalwood essential oil, myrtle essential oil, pachouli essential oil & geranium essential oil.

This acne fighting serum can be used to cleanse, hydrate and even fade scaring. I love that this serum 
not only fights my occasional spot, it also heals my skin and fades some of the acne scaring that I
have from my teen years. 

100% Natural & Suitable for both men & women! Does not dry out the skin! $18.95 (15ml)
