THE FIT GIRL BOX


THE FIT GIRL BOX

"MIX BOX"

UNBOXING REVIEW!

Like many, subscription boxes are one of my many weakness'! That little surprise package you
signed up for and then forgotten about suddenly arrives when you least expect it and suddenly your
day is just that much better as you've received a little gift just for yourself for no apparent reason
other than for being your amazing gorgeous lil self! ;)

As sub boxes are a secret little obsession of mine, I always have my eye out looking for more boxes
full of new and exciting things, whatever the theme may be.

My latest discovery has me kicking my butt back into gear as I am reminded of one of my top new
years resolutions. - To look after my body on both the inside & out! Now, I do do quite a good job
already of taking care of my body, however the main areas I need to work on is eating healthier and
exercising more!

This box has inspired me like it's the new year all over again!

Watch My Unboxing Below!

First of all The Fit Girl Box like
myself, has it's very own Youtube
channel which you should go check
out and if you want to really get
an inside view of the lovely girl,
Brittany who is the brains behind the
 box, she also has her own channel
full of fun and interesting videos
which you can watch HERE!

So on with the box! This healthy
subscription gives you more than
$200 worth of product and between
6-8 products for just $39.99.

If you sign up annually which gives
you 4 boxes you can save yourself
10% and pay just $144.

I really enjoyed discovering each and every product in this box, beginning with this bonus NW

"You Won't Believe It's Sugar-Free!" magazine full of healthy, inspiring and really easy to follow
recipes! I am not the best cook, however sweets are difinitely my weakness so to be able to create
some delicious AND healthy desserts is a mega win for me!



As you can see here there are also
some quick and easy meal options
inside which give detailed and
step by step instructions to easily
follow for your lunch and dinners.

I especially find fresh salads like
these super convenient to take to
work with me so I'm not tempted
to grab fast food on the run!

This magazine can be purchased
for current RRP $9.99.






First up in the box is this PT grey sports towel. I was instantly drawn to this in the box as not only
 was it the largest item in the box, I was also curious to what it was inside the draw string storage bag!

I adore grey and neutral colours at the moment so that was an instant 'Like' by me. The micro fiber
material is that quick absorbing and quick drying kind which would be perfect to take to the gym,
yoga, running or any sport in general to keep you fresh and dry. This towel is huge by the way,
100 x 40cm in fact! I am surprised it fits into such a small bag! Very cool indeed.

 Available in a range of colours including - Blush, Citrine, Mint & Pink at your local Pillow Talk
store for current RRP $14.95 each.

Pillow Talk Energize Sports Towel in the shade 'Dove'.

Vigour Skin Therapy is an Australian company which specializes in natural goodness for your skin.
This products have been made by two Aussie skin theropists with more than 25 years experience in
this field. Their products are so healthy for your skin and really let your best skin shine through!

I originally discovered this brand through my Schkinny Maninny pressed juice subscription (You can read all about my 3 day juice cleanse HERE!) and fell in love with their Treatment Cleanser so I am
allll over this Collagen Eye, Lip & Line Fix!

Just as the name suggests, this product is a hard working, time saving, multi tasker! Not only smooths
out your fine lines, it also hydrates, soothes and plumps up the skin fading wrinkles and giving your
lips that extra bit of pout which most of us desire as thin lips can quickly age you!

Current RRP $39.00


Blue Dinosaur Paleo Bars are one of those products I have seen around but never purchased. Just for
the plain fact that chocolaty and sugary treats win me over in the sweets isle without me ever thinking
about it and that fact that I should probably choose something to snack which is better for my body
and won't stick around on my thighs forever!

As you can see below, these come in a range of flavours (If this seems up your ally, keep an eye out
for their latest 'Sour Cherry', 'Banana Bread' & 'Blueberry' flavours!) with the one which I received in
 my box being the 'Ginger Nut'. Have no added sugars and contain just 5 natural ingredients!
(Make sure to watch my unboxing video to find out the 5 ingredients!)

Current RRP $2.90 each


I am beyond excited to try out these Amazing Magnesium 'Pain Relief' & 'Recovery' wipes!
Not only has my back taken a hit to the sudden cold here and tensed up and is now doing that
awful 'click' and 'crunch' sound every time I move my shoulder blades but I also get aching feet
at the end of the day since returning back to work this year. (Hence the lack of blog posts lately,
sorry!) Also, my husband gets really intense back and neck pain from working 24/7 on his laptop,
so if these work out well, I'll be jumping online to purchase a box or two!

Current RRP $15.60 (Pain Relief) $19.50 (Recovery). Per box of x25


Hydration is sooo important and during the cooler months I forget even more often than ever to
drink enough fluid throughout the day! Let's face it water can get boring real quick and when you're
already dehydrated is can be hard to down a good litre your body is probably needing in one go!

This is where Pure Electrolyte Hydration comes in to make life just that little bit more exciting and
easier! Available in a range of flavours (I got the Lemon one!) including Lemon, Raspberry,
Pineapple and Super Fruits. I cannot wait to try this! Sounds absolutely delish!

Current RRP $29.99 (500g)


To continue to help me with my sweet tooth and quick sugar fix addiction, is this enrGIsustain
dark chocolate, coconut and cashew bar. Yum! This not only sounds delicious (Hello chocolate!)
but I love this companies punch line as well. - "Bite Me. I'm Good!" :D

High in protein, gluten free and containing 18 essential vitamins and minerals. This is the kind of
snack bar I need to help me through my busy days! #happyenrGIpeople

Current RRP $4.95 each


Another natural, healthy snack alternative you could go for is this Go Natural Active Protein Choc
Acai bar! With a 4.5 star health rating, this gives me confidence in what I am putting into my body is
a good choice! I love that this not only provides me with a good old choccy fix, but it is actually
giving me the natural unrefined version filled also with sunflower seeds, honey, almonds, pepitas,
peanuts, brazil nuts and whey protein to help sustain my energy throughout the day and keep me full
for longer between meals.

Current RRP $2.41 each OR $40.00 (Per box of x16 bars)
Also available in 'Super Berry' flavour.


I am pretty proud of myself for completely cutting sugar out of my daily cups of coffee, however
when it comes to baking cookies, cake and other sweets, sugar is an unavoidable main ingredient
of these delicious dishes! Having a healthy and all natural sugar alternative to use like this Natvia
100% Natural Sweetener is genius!

I have actually used this product before which also comes in the canister form, however these little 2g
sachets are brilliant because it makes hopeless cooks like me look like pros by already having the
portions measured out for me to easily add together when mixing ingredients together when baking
cakes, etc.

Current RRP for this box below $4.49


This is one of the things I love about this subscription box. It has a good variety of products to help
us look after ourselves on both the inside and out. Moving on from that food related items, are these
x2 sample sachets of Lemon Tea Tree & Mandarin Bondi Wash Body Wash!

Be sure to take advantage of their 15% off offer when you sign up to their newsletter!

Current RRP $1.00 per sample sachet (You can purchase pretty much any or all of their products for
just $1.00 each contains 10ml each) or $35.00 (500ml bottle)


So there you have it, a great mix of products in this Autumn "Mix Box!"

Do you treat yourself to any subscription boxes?
Which ones are your style? - Beauty, health, lifestyle, pets, etc!

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!

BELLABOX AND VOGUE


BELLABOX VOGUE
LIMITED EDITION BOX
UNBOXING!


Aren't subscription boxes just the funnest? If I could sign up to every single one I probably would!
I can't get enough of that anticipation and surprise when one arrives in the mail. I LOVE no knowing
exactly what might be inside and having all the new products to try is me in my element.

I have reviewed quite a number of different boxes in the past including a few Bellabox's and I just
love when they release their limited edition boxes because you always get so much more in them.

You can pick up this box which has Bellabox teaming up with Vogue to produce an awesome choice
of skincare, haircare and makeup valued at $115 for only $49.95!

Get yours for a very limited time right here!


I have previously used and reviewed the Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum and loved it,
actually I have also used a hand cream of theirs and remember that being completely gorgeous as 
well and since I have heard so much of this product ever since it came out a few years ago I cannot
tell you just how excited I am to finally own my own little bottle and to be able to use this on the
regular! Yay!

Interesting to discover this brand has been around since 1828! I have never heard of it!
Meant to be both soothing, moisturising and repairing to the skin. I love any skincare product
which contains honey, so most likely I am going to love this one!

I have never owned the full size of this product, however have tried a few of these samples in the
past and quite liked them. The product is smooth and gives a nice matte finished. Once I run out of
primers I would definitely be purchasing this. 

I actually already own this product, having received it in another box some time ago!
This is a product I don't believe gets enough praise as it really is lovely. The shade is just right and
you can easily build up the amount of highlight you are looking to achieve. It is firm but not hard
and doesn't dry out or become too soft to use. 

Here is a super luxe product I am drying to soak my skin into! Elizabeth Arden is well known in
having an exceptional reputation when it comes to anti-ageing skincare. This puppy retails at full
size for $96.00 so this is definitely a special treat for me. 

Bobby Brown Smokey Eye Mascara (Deluxe Sample Size)
What an absolute treat to receive this Bobby Brown mascara! Such a popular high end brand which I
adore. I am very much looking forward to using this mascara as from what I can tell it looks like a nice neat formula and basic, non complicated brush.

Clinique Smart Custom Repair Serum (Deluxe Sample Size)
When it comes to skin repair, I feel like skin being the body's largest organ can always do with some
kind of targeted repair. Weather it be from sun damage, acne scaring, wrinkles and fine lines to dark 
spots, dehydration and sagging. This product is great for all of these things. I cannot wait to get into
this. Slowing down that ticking clock, that's the goal!

Neon & Co Hair Treatment Oil (Deluxe Sample Size)
Creates shine & eliminates frizz? Yes please! My hair is lacking shine and as frizzy as ever with 
the amount of hair dying I have been putting it through lately! Treatment oils are my hair's best 
friend right now. I own so many hair leave in moisturisers which are great, however in my
recent experience I have been love hair oils and finding them to work a little better for me in
regards to taming the frizz and putting the moisture back in especially.

What are your thoughts on this Limited Edition box?
Will you be signing up?

GOOD GREEN BOX


GOOD GREEN BOX
UNBOXING REVIEW!

I looooove me a good subscription box! Getting that little thrill when it arrives in the mail and 
opening it up not being 100% sure what I'll find inside is a great thrill and a treat which does not
happen often enough!

A few months ago I attended the ever famous Aussie Bloggers United event here in Brisbane and 
amongst the endless amount of goodies galore we were fortunate enough to lug home with us was 
this Good Green Box! Needless to say I was super doper excited to see what was inside!


I love that this box is all about being green and supporting those brands who follow suit.
 I like to think I have a close bond with the earth, being an earth sign (Capricorn) and all. I am also a 
strong believer in the Fae, so being kind to the planet and doing my little part is important to me. :)


So let's just see what we have here! Seven different products all together. Some I have tried before 
and others are completely new to me. Not disappointing at all, I like the look of this array of choice!


Manuka Biotic Naturally Purifying Face Cleanser
This cleanser contains Witch Hazel & Green Tea Extract, Manuka & Kanuka Oil as well as 
Glycerine. This cleanser is said to be both antibacterial and anti ageing. I like to sound of that!
Sad it is only a small sachet, however keen to try it out and happy to know I can purchase this 
directly off the Good Green Box website is I like it as well as other Manuka Biotic products.


Vegesorb Moisturiser
I am excited to learn that this is actually not only an Aussie company, it is also a Brisbane company!
So nice to discover a brand so close to home.

This product contains natural almond and apricot kernel oil, which soaks right into the skin so easily
and does not just stick to the surface. It is also colour and fragrance free, great for sensitive and even
babies skin.


WotNot Facial Wipes
This is a product I have used many times before. This is the perfect makeup remover wipe. So gentle
on the skin and doesn't strip the skin either. Leaves skin feeling soft and refreshed. 

I like the shape of this wipe. It is a good medium size and thickness with just the right amount of
 moisture. Certified organic ingredients and 100% biodegradable! 


Beauty and the Bees
Madagascar Island Flowers Soap - This smells completely gorgeous, like a huge bunch of mixed
florals. It is quite a strong scent for such a little sample soap size, but it is so nice I can't stop smelling
it! Contains a mix of Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Rose & Marigold. Does that not sound just so lovely?

Beer Shampoo - Here is an interesting product for you! I have heard about people using beer as a 
rinse in hopes of more shiny hair. (Haven't tried it, but apparently is works!) This one is gender
neutral and contains Tasmanian Beer, Olive & Caster Oils, Coconut, Beeswax, Leatherwood, 
Essential Oils, Tasmanian Hops & Mount Wellington Spring Water.


MooGoo Protein Shot Leave-In Conditioner
Here is a brand I feel is making traction in the market as I seem to keep seeing it everywhere lately!
Looking into it, it looks like a great brand actually and I am so excited to try it for the first time!

Can be used on both wet or dry hair which is so convenient for me being a busy mum. I can easily 
just pop a pea size amount into the ends during my morning routine as I start the day!

Contains Vitamins E, Jojoba Oil, Coconut Oil, Milk Protein, Olive Oil, Water, Fragrant Oil & more.


Sanctum Gentle Face Exfoliant
I am familiar with this brand and I am fairly sure I have tried a sample of this product before.
I love facial and body exfoliants and use them almost daily as I feel like me body builds up dead skin
cells quickly and I love the feeling of fresh new smooth skin after a good scrub. Makes such a 
positive difference to the appearance of my skin!

This product is 100% naturally derived and contains a mix of crushed walnut, loofah, shells and rice
bran. Sanctum is a strong believer of testing only on humans, not animals! Love! 


Suvana Natural PawPaw & Acai Balm
Here is a new brand to grab my attention. This lip balm is super moisturising and great for those
winter chapped lips! Can be used anywhere on the body and can also be used to treat minor burns,
cuts and grazes.

Contains a mix of 100% all natural goodness including - Beeswax, Coconut & Castor Oil, Stevia,
Cocoa Butter and Papaya Extract.

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?
