Themed “Letters to Winter from Spring“, Boxwalla’s April Beauty Box* showcases two products that deliver healing, soothing, repairing letters from rejuvenating Spring, to oh-so-cold Winter!
New from Max Green Alchemy: Elemeni Rosehip Skincare
If you haven’t heard, my favorite natural hair care brand Max Green Alchemy has launched a skincare line! Elemeni Rosehip Skincare is their new subset of skincare products, each one containing rosehip seed oil which is known for its anti-aging benefits.
REVIEW: 5YINA Divine All Seasons Bio-Adaptive Cleanser
Spring is in the air! Well, pollen is too, which stinks for us allergy sufferers, but regardless I’m ready for sunshine and warmer days. To kick off the new season, I thought I’d review 5YINA’s cleanser which they recently (and very kindly) gifted me to try.
EMPTIES V.2 – Stark Skincare, MOSS, LILFOX + More
Yay! It’s finally time for an empties post — who doesn’t love looking at skincare trash?! The products I’m sharing today are all of the products I have used up since my previous empties post. A lot of Stark Skincare again, and a lot of good products I just really enjoyed and found to be effective.
Frangipani Fables & Black Rice Tales: February Boxwalla Beauty
Today I’m thrilled to finally share my thoughts on Boxwalla’s February Beauty Box* that featured a Boxwalla-familiar brand, Siam Seas!
Themed “Frangipani Fables & Black Rice Tales“, Boxwalla and Siam Seas invite you to ‘listen’ to these fables and tables as whispered to you by these two new launches from the brand: Sai Clear Skin Serum ($65 retail value) and Kwam Rak Radiance of Love Body Serum ($90 retail value). The ‘Frangipani’ component of the theme comes from the scent of Kwam Rak which includes a plumeria absolute that is combined with jasmine sambac to create something… intoxicating, to put it lightly. The ‘Black Rice’ component comes from the black rice water that is used in the base of the Sai facial serum. Both featured products are full-sized.
Subscriptions have since closed, but this box is still available right now as a one-time box at a cost of $74.95 (box is valued at $155!)
REVIEW: Blissoma’s Photonic Light Shifting Sunscreen + Moisturizer
Ahhh, sunscreen. That one thing that a lot (maybe even most?) of us don’t like, yet year round we have to talk about it and wear it rain or shine. Even some of the best ones are still like, “it’s okay, but I STILL have to wear it and I’m not happy about it because it’s another icky layer.” The best sunscreens I’ve tried in the past were on that level, in that they were just okay but I’d definitely rather wear nothing than to have that nice titanium dioxide + zinc layer that feels like it interferes with life.
All of this grumpy sunscreen talk leads me to today’s review and how I FINALLY, miraculously, no longer have those sunscreen woes thanks to this awesome one that Blissoma (one of my all time favorite skincare brands, yeah!) launched late last year. I’m not kidding – I freaking love this sunscreen and I am thrilled to share my review after many months of testing. Blissoma did kindly offer me the opportunity to test Photonic when it launched, but I would like to mention that Blissoma became one of my favorite brands through my own discovery of their products and I did purchase all past Blissoma products shared here on the blog with my own money.
