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!

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!

JAPAN CANDY BOX


~  JAPAN CANDY BOX  ~

Unboxing!

(You can always watch the unboxing video first?!)

Okay, so I am mega behind with my online blogging life, what with Christmas, the New Year and
everything else that goes on in my life behind the scene in the real world.... so much happening I
cannot even begin to explain. I feel like I am working 24/7 and hardly sleep. It is all for the best
though, not going to get anywhere in life for myself and my family sitting still. Just working hard
for where I want to be. Thank you to all who are sticking by me & understanding!

That being said, blogging still is and always will be a huge passion of mine, however sometimes
other things in life are just more important and need my attention, so forgive me. I am going to get
caught up as much as I can as soon as I can when I find the time... like now usually late into the night.

Instagram page and the rest is history! The company kindly agreed to send me their October
box to review and just look how generously jam packed it is!! There are ten different, very
cutely packaged delicious unique yumminess just screaming to be devoured immediately!

for FREE world wide! You also go into the draw to win over $100 worth of goodies in the
Japan Box Megabox raffle! #winning 

LOTTE KOALA MARCH BISCUITS
How cute are these little guys!? Oh my gosh, crisp cookies with gooey strawberry centre
and an array of printed Koala's on each of them? Uh YASS! :)

TAKEDA TAMAGO BORO EGG COOKIES
These were a little plain in terms of flavour and a little dry. I found myself needing to guzzle a
huge glass of water afterwards, however I did not eat them all. My Mr 2yrs was more than happy to
share them with me.

PUCCHO AWAWAWA BALL CANDY
These grape flavoured candy balls were SOUR to the max! Lots of fun to eat and once the sour outer
layer was dissolved there was a hard sweet layer and finally a small chewy bit at the end.

MEIJI JUICE GUMMIES
These were much the same as any regular soft gummy lolly, however not as in your face sweet
as say your typical 'Allens' here in Australia. Very pleasant to eat, I feel like as I get older I can't
seem to enjoy the super sweet gummies as I used to. They are just too much for me now in terms
of sweetness.

BOURBON PETIT WHITE CHOCOLATE STUFFED COOKIES
These were delicious! So so yummy, probably one of if not the favourite item in the whole box!
Equivalant to the size of a 10c (AU) with a soft creamy icing middle. These tasted so light and
crisp in your mouth. I recon I could easily eat about five of these packets in one sitting. 0_o

POCKY PANDA COOKIE STICKS
These instantly reminded me of the 'Hello Panda' packs you can get here in Australia from Coles and
a few other other places. I am unsure of the exact flavour here. It looks and tasted like it might be
cookies and cream. It was amazing! Cleverly portion controlled, probably for the better as I doubt
I would be able to stop myself eating these if I had more packets laying around. 

MEIJI MINI CANDY PACK
No, these are not mini jelly beans. Yeah they fooled me too because they look exactly just like them!
These are more like a softer more gummy like version of a jelly bean. Again not as powerful in
sweetness and flavour. But honestly, I prefer them this way. 

PUCCHO MANGO CHEWY CANDY
We all love mango in our house. Anything mango flavoured never lasts more than a day and neither
did these, sadly. Chewy and soft at the same time. These were completely drool worthy! Not too 
sweet, but full of incredible flavour!

CORIS STRAWBERRY WHISTLE CANDY
I am still unsure as to the point of the extra little box with the plastic toy inside when I came to this
item. The Whistle Candy came in a pack with eight baby pink hard donut shaped lollies. Easy to 
chew, the consistency of them crumbled and became quite soft as you chewed them, rather than being
super hard or crunchy. Oh and yes they do make a very loud whistle sound when you hold them in
your mouth and breathe or blow through the little hole in the centre.

KRACIE POPIN' COOKIN' DIY TAKOYAKI SET
Confirming my suspicion in my unboxing video, these are in fact one of those mini baking sets you
can purchase here in Australia from the toy section of selected stores. I have seen them in Myer and
K-Mart. You can choose from a selection from cup cakes to french fries! It is amazing technology!
I am not sure how good these would taste, but I know my kids will definitely have a ball making them
and that is enough for me. :)

Is your mouth watering yet? Drooling all over your keyboard?
I don't blame you! Sign up for your box here! :)

VALENTINES DAY GIFTS FOR HER



~ VALENTINE'S DAY ~

GIFT GUIDE

   FOR HER!   


I think women seem to quite unfairly have the reputation as being complicated beings.
However I have to disagree. Not just because I am in fact a woman and understand us completely!
But because I feel like men are simple beings and just need a little shall we say 'help?' in the
area of gift giving!

Let me break it down for you guys!

We love to shop. 
We want things we don't need.
 AND we want compliments. - Lots of them, all the time. 
Even if you've already told us once. Tell us everyday. 
Doesn't have to be anything crazy. Just 'Your hair looks so pretty today babe!'
Or 'You smell amazing, what are you wearing?' 
(Even if you don't care what kind of perfume we have on, ask us anyway and pretend to
listen, we love talking about that stuff!)
Just do it! Ok? Ok!
 (This is an simple, easy way to get in and stay in our good books!)
:)

Below I share with you some gifts I am almost positive she will love!
Good luck, mate!

Starting from the first square, top left and working through...

'It's Written In The Stars' Mini Gold Notebook
Notebooks come in handy in hundreds of ways.
Writing something as simple as 'Love You' inside would be just....'Awwww!'

Kate Spade Holly Drive Compact 'Darling' Mirror
Call us 'Darling' it's endearing and sweet.
We also love mirrors for touch ups on the go. 

NY Posy Court Turquoise Vase
The quote on this vase says 'A Smile If The Prettiest Thing You Can Wear'
which is very romantic coming from someone we love. Fill it with our favourite blooms
for extra points!

Heart Jewellery Box
Anything with hearts is romantic and shows us you love us.
If you hide extra little surprises inside the box, well done!

Miniphant Money Box
Aside from the cuteness of this money box.
You could always pop some cash of gift cards to your woman's favourite
stores inside! (We love to shop remember!) ;)

Swann Imports Abstract Black & White Book Box (Set Of 2)
Everybody has secrets, especially women. We need a place to hide them and
these also look great as decor. Feel free to put chocolates or candy inside before
you give these to us though!

Gold Linen Match Box Sleeve
We usually love to have romantic candles lit, especially on Valentine's Day/Night!
So gifting us some pretty candles or just having them lit around the house for when we
come home or in the bathroom around the bubble bath you've just prepared for us, then
having this pretty matchbox makes everytime we light a candle just all that more elegant.
We like pretty things, even if they are just simple things like a box of matches!

London Cascading Floral Sweetheart Dress
If you know your woman well enough to know her size and what dresses or clothing items are on
her wish list, then buying for us to wear on Valentine's Day is gold!
You may get subtle hints which we know you guys are usually oblivious to, so pay attention!!

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush
If your girl is into makeup and doesn't own one of these yet, chances are she wants one!
Don't ask questions, you will never understand. We just neeeed it, ok? It makes us happy!

Heart Print Socks
These are a cute gift, but only if they're super cute socks! Like these ones with hearts
are themed with the day so she should be pretty happy with these. Just make sure this
is not the only gift you give to her!

Heart Photo Frame
Try to pick up a frame that goes with your woman's taste. If she likes pink, get pink.
Have a look around her appartment or just ask her her favourite colour.
Pick out a happy snap of you both and put it in the frame. It's a thoughtful gift that shows
a bit of effort.

Rose Gold Tone Large Stone Stretch Bracelet
Personally, at the moment I am all into Rose Gold things. However, make sure you suss
out your womans preferred jewellery colour first. It might be gold or silver!
See what she wears most and go with that!

Wrapped In Love Diamond Ring
If it's got diamonds in it, we will love it. Diamonds are a girls best friend after all!
Just don't buy us cheap, fake jewellery. We can do that ourselves.
We want the real deal from you so that we can keep it forever!

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Perfume
This has been a very popular perfume among women this past year, so this could be a winner!
Contains notes of Jasmine, Lychee, Pear, Grapefruite, White Woods & Musk to name a few!
It is gorgeous! If anything she should at least love the pretty bottle, that's half the reason we
buy perfume! Truth!

GHD Rose Gold Limited Edition Straightener
If she straightens her hair regularly and it's not a GHD, I recommend splurging on one
for her. If we don't own one, we all want one and they are available in a range of different
colours including turquoise and purple so go with a colour that she loves!

Clinique Party Lips & Nails
Lipsticks and nail polish are no brainers for most women.
Clinique is a lovely brand that make top quality products. She is sure to love
some pretty new shades to play with and appreciate you going into the women's department
to purchase them! Or if that sounds too much, you can always purchase online!
So there you go fellas! I hope this helps you!
We're simple creatures really....flowers, chocolate, jewellery, compliments & little
things that show us you care.

LOVELOIS


~ LOVE LOIS ~


...Be prepared...don't get caught off guard...treat yourself...


&


Forget the shops! - it's all in this box!!




With online shopping and the explosion of beauty and subscription boxes
dominating every woman's purse strings it is not surprising that someone
would think out of the box (no pun intended!) and create yet another
convenient, surprise box of goodies for us to enjoy and look forward to
each month.

However this particular company is the first to create a box
of products designed to help us all out when we have to deal with that horrid
time of the month. Some of us are lucky and breeze through it without so much
as a single cramp or mood swing, whilst others get hit with it like a full on steam
boat, crashing into our perfect little lives and bursting our feel good, cramp free
bubble! :(

So to have a handy little box filled to the brim with absolutely everything
you could need to make your few mucked up days during the month just that little
bit more pleasant is such a lovely idea and I am loving the concept!

I feel like this would be absolutely perfect to have on hand or put away for my
daughter for when the time comes to have the 'talk' with her or just to give to
her when she's at that age so if she is too embarrassed to open up about it
when the time comes she can just open the box and she won't
have the stress of having tell me if shes not ready or trying
 to find what she needs from the shop, alone,
unsure and more likely totally embarrassed. I know I can relate to these
feelings from my own experience!
