Unboxing: InStyle Box Spring Edition 2021

18. April 2021

//PR SAMPLE/BEAUTY/UNBOXING//

It’s time for the unboxing of the InStyle Box Spring Edition 2021 that arrived on my doorstep a few days ago and I want to share the amazing content with you! As usual, the InStyle Box is so packed with awesome products, and in my opinion, it is one of those subscription boxes that is worth the money.

It’s spring and we are still in the midst of the Covid-Pandemic, so this time the InStyle Box is dedicated to self-care and feel-good, with a versatile range of products.

Gokos EyeLighter (19.90€/pc)

This EyeLighter Pen is a double-sided pen with a soft broad spongy side and a more pointy one. The color is a bright nude color, with shimmering particles that can be used in an everyday look. The pigments are inside the caps, so it uses the twist-mechanism that many Korean and Japanese brands have used in the past. The name of the brand is made from the English word “Go” and the German word “Kosmetik”, meaning cosmetics, creating products that are easy to use on the go.

Coxir Black Snail Collagen Eye Cream (16 €/ 30ml)

I’m so happy to see a KBeauty brand in this box. Coxir is a rather new brand to me and the Black Snail Collagen skincare line combines snail secretion filtrate, black bean, and collagen as key ingredients for anti-aging and elasticity. And apart from these ingredients, I spotted so many good plant-based ingredients, like sesame, rice, ginseng, honeysuckle, tomato, etc.

Head & Shoulders Supreme Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner (3.95€ each)

I have dry and frizzy hair so every haircare providing moisture sounds great to me and I’m keen to try. This line from Head & Shoulders comes with Argan Oil and Coconut Oil, which are both great for hydration.

InStyle Box Bracelet (24.95€ /pc)

A cute golden bracelet that comes in a red bag.

Avon Loaded Lip Lacquer (11€/ 7ml)

This lip lacquer from Avon comes in a vibrant pink shade, that fits perfectly for spring. The liquid lip paint has a glossy finish and contains oils for extra nourishment of the lips while wearing the lip color.

Elle Decoration Decoration by Crown ( 2.99€ / 0.125 l)

This one came totally unexpected, and I was wondering what it is until I realized, that this is a jar of wall/furniture paint in the color “enchanted ivy”, a beautiful jungle-green color. I will use this for some picture frames or plant pots and I’m happy to see some DIY products in the InStyle box.

acáo Pomgranade Drink (1.65€ / 265 ml)

This caffeine-containing drink with Pomgranade flavor contains mint and guarana makes me dream of traveling with this colorful bird design. I can imagine that this is a very refreshing drink, especially since it contains mint extract.

Maria Galland Nail Polish (22€ / 7 ml)

This nail polish from Maria Galland Paris is the perfect nude color for spring.

Dermaroller Mask and Dermaroller HC902 (mask: 8.39€/pc ; roller: 63.90€)

Apart from the Coxir product, this was definitely one of the highlights. The InStyle Box came with the sheet mask and a voucher for a Derma -Roller from the same brand. The roller was not included in the Box, because it didn’t fit. On my first try, the voucher didn’t work, and I was a bit disappointed. But I tried again on another day and suddenly it worked perfectly. I was totally happy when the roller arrived already on the next day! This was so fast! Can’t wait to use both now.

The content of the InStyle Box Spring Edition 2021 is amazing once again! The colors of the decorative cosmetics fit the spring season and I love the skincare products included, I’m looking forward to trying the Dermaroller and the Coxir Eye Cream and I’m happy to see KBeauty in this box. Usually, the box retails for 29.95€, if you only get one box, but it gets cheaper with a subscription. Since the Dermaroller on its own is already worth around 60 €, this box definitely makes up for its price.

Unboxing: InStyle Box Fall Edition 2019

28. October 2019

//PR SAMPLE/UNBOXING/BEAUTYBOX//

Since it’s fall, it is also time for a new unboxing: the InStyle Box Fall Edition 2019 box arrived on my doorstep a few days ago and I want to share the amazing content with you!

Fall is a favorite season for many people. It’s that time of the year where orange and red hues are all around and we start to enjoy being cozier. pumpkin, chocolate, and a richer skincare routine are some of the things that pop into my mind when thinking about the new season. The InStyle Box Fall Edition 2019 combines some of these and provides us with seasonal favorites.

BioOleo Cosmetics Sweet Almond Oil (50 ml / 13,86 €)

The temperatures are getting colder, so it is the perfect time to introduce some facial oils into our skincare. sweet almond oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins and helps to make the skin soft and smooth. It is also suited for sensitive skin types.

Sol de Janeiro Coco Cabana Cream (25 ml / 8,49 €)

I’ve been seeing the body products from Sol de Janeiro all over Instagram lately, so I’m very happy about seeing this product in the Instyle Fall Edition 2019. It’s a hydrating body cream with an oil-in-water gel cream, formula. Fermented sugar and coconut oil nourish and hydrate the skin.

Starskin 7-Seconds Morning and Overnight Miracle Skin Mask Pads (2 pieces / 3,25 €)

These two multipurpose pads combine several skincare steps in one pad. The 7-Seconds Morning Miracle Skin Mask Pad combines massage, peeling, toner, serum, moisturizer, mask and makeup primer in one. The 7-Seconds Overnight Miracle Skin Mask Pads combines massage, exfoliator, toner, oil serum, night cream, sleeping mask and mood relaxer. I’m very curious if these pads will hold up to their claims.

Sante Lip Lacquer Color Gloss (9 ml / 4,99 €)

Sante is a natural cosmetics brand that has been on the market for over 30 years. The brand is 100% certified as a natural cosmetics brand in Germany. The Lip Lacquer Color Gloss is made with a high shine gloss formula and makes the lips appear more voluminous. Vitamin E and shea butter keep the lips nourished and hydrated.

The Humble Co. Humble Brush and Natural Toothpaste (brush: 1 Stück / 3,95 €, toothpaste: 75 ml / 3,99 €)

Sustainability and environmental friendliness can also be transferred to our dental care using toothbrushes that can be recycled and natural toothpaste. The humble brush has a handle made from bamboo and can be recycled. The charcoal toothpaste is the perfect companion for it.

Parsa Beauty Keratin Paddle Brush and Magic Pony (brush:1 piece/ 10,99 €), magic pony: 1 piece / 6,99 €)

This came perfectly in time: a new paddle brush. The Parsa Paddle Brush has natural bristles that are enhanced with keratin and help to brush through the hair more smoothly and give them more shine. The Magic Pony, on the other hand, allows you to make a perfect ponytail.

Hair Burst Chewable Hair Vitamins (30 pieces /13,50 €)

These hair gummies contain zinc, biotin, vitamin B₅, and selenium, which help to maintain healthy hair growth. The box contains 30 of the hair gums, and since it is advised to take two per day, this amount is suited for 15 days.

Great Lengths Heat & Care Spray (50 ml / 7,90 €)

This hair care spray provides moisture to the hair and protects it from heat damage of up to 300°C. It also makes the hair smooth and easier to comb through.

Tony’s Chocolonely Milk chocolate with Caramel and Sea Salt (180 g / 3,98 €)

This fairtrade whole milk chocolate is made in Belgium and contains 32% Cocoa. The bright orange packaging makes it perfect for fall, but all of Tony’s Chocolonely chocolates have a colorful packaging design. They are very popular in the Netherlands, by the way.

InStyle Box Scented Candle Pumpkin Spice (1 piece/ 10,00 €)

This pumpkin spice scented candle is perfect for the season. I already used it a couple of times and the scent is really nice, too.

The content of the InStyle Box Fall Edition 2019 is amazing once again! It was packed with so many products and they are perfectly selected for the season once again. Usually, the box retails for 29.95€, if you only get one box, but it gets cheaper with a subscription. The value of this box lies over 90€ in total, which is amazing! I’m especially curious about the Starskin Masking Pads and the Great Length Heat & Care Spray. I’m also very happy about the Parsa Paddle brush and the Sol de Janeiro Coco Cabana Cream. In total, I’m very happy with the box.

The InStyle Box is curated by the InStyle Magazine, and provides you with trendy items for the season. I received some of the InStyle Boxes from previous seasons, too, and if you are curious you can have a look at the past boxes >>here<<.

As always, the products are dedicated and fit to the season. The InStyle Box is filled with 10 different products, which come together with a booklet with descriptions and more discount coupons inside.

CUPPER – “Be Happy” Tee (40g / 2,95€ )

Cupper Teas have one of the most beautiful designs. And this spiced tea blend with pepper and ginger, mixed with a citrus scent is perfect for the season.

ColaRebell Feststoff Cola Classic (44g / 1,49 €)

These are basically a lifesaver since it is so dark in the mornings and already dark when I’m on my way back home. These candies help me to get some sugar and caffeine into my blood when I’m at a low point during the day.

InStyle – Emaille Mug (1pc / 16,00 €)

This mug is perfect for the included Cupper Tea of this box. Love the cute print here!

Gilette Venus Swirl (1 pc / 9,99€ )

The Flexi-ball technology of the Gilette Venus Swirl makes it easy to shave your legs, especially for the more difficult areas and shapes to reach.

Nature Box Body Butter Avocado ( 200ml / 4,99€ )

This body butter contains cold-pressed avocado oil and is free from silicone, sulfates and parabens. Additionally, the product is vegan. Apart from Avocado oil, this body butter contains great ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and cacao seed butter.

PUFFIN beauty Pony Puffin® ( 1pc / 9,95€ )

This silicone helper will make your ponytail look more voluminous. It looks like a muffin and is placed between your hair before tying it.

L’Oréal Paris Indefectible Gel Nail Polish ( 1pc / 8,90€ )

These nail polishes from L’Oreal come with two sides, one containing the nail polish (here shade Forever Mink), and the other containing a clear top coat with gel effect. Love the combination of the two products in one.

Maison Mollerus Pochette EIGER ( 1pc / 69,00€ )

Handmade in Switzerland, and perfect to keep your lipstick, powder, and some money for the next festivities or party. Love the sleek and simple design, and yet the embossing gives it a luxurious finish.

The Jeweller Necklace (1pc / 21,90€ )

A pretty and delicate necklace with a heart shape. I guess this would make a cute gift for best friends, too.

I’m happy with this Box content again, and I must say it has a good value for its price! Especially the clutch from Maison Mullerus is super pretty and will be very perfect for the holiday season. I also love the other products and there is quite some that I’m looking forward to try.

Unboxing: InStyle Box Summer Edition 2018

3. August 2018

// WERBUNG / PR SAMPLE / UNBOXING//

Summer means sun and vacation, ideally, it also means holidays. Since we have a new season I have also a new InStyle Box for you. The InStyle Box Summer Edition! I’m really loving the InStyle Box, because of its versatile content and moreover, it is not a monthly box, so you have enough time to use up the products that you receive. I received the InStyle Box Summer Edition 2018 for reviewing purpose and here is what’s inside:

As always, the products are dedicated and fit to the season. The topic revolves around hot days and vacation and the InStyle Box is filled with 10 different products and a sample, together with a booklet with descriptions and more discount coupons inside.

As you can tell from the pictures the box is really packed and heavy, and there are a lot of new products inside that wait to be discovered!

Taste Nirvana Real Coconut Water

This coconut water is infused with passion fruit juice and seeds to deliver an exotic feeling. A great and healthy way to refresh yourself during hot days.

SMO Smoothie Bar

I never buy any fruit bars, because I’m more the nutty-bar-type, but this smoothie bar was a nice and fruity treat for in-between. This one comes in the flavor pitaya and soursop

InStyle inflatable Watermelon drink holder

I love these inflatable drink holders. They deliver a tropical vibe and can be used to let your drink swim in the pool.

Waltz 7 Shower Bombs

There is nothing more relaxing than a hot bath, but showers can be easier and some people prefer showering over bathing. These shower bombs are perfect for anybody who wants to have a relaxing spa Atmosphere while taking a shower. You simply put the shower bomb on the floor of your shower and the water will melt it away and release the relaxing scents. The two versions here are scented with mango and rose, respectively. I tried these shower bombs in the past and love them so much!

Bilou Sweet Hands Hand Mousse

This hand care product comes as mousse-y foam out of the bottle. It contains vitamins E, almond oil, avocado oil and panthenol and has a sweet scent.

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat

I love this top coat! I’ve already used it so much since I received the box and it is so convenient to use and makes your nail polish dry down so much faster.

Ultrasun Facial Sunscreen SPF30 PA+++

This water-resistant sunscreen doesn’t contain any harmful ingredients or hormone-active ingredients and protects your skin from sun damage while providing moisture to the skin. I used this sunscreen before and it feels nice and hydrating and doesn’t leave a white cast. It tends to leave a bit of a greasy feeling though while wearing it throughout the day.

Mudmasky Sleep Repair Renewal Nourishing Mask

We should not forget to give our skin some spa-time for in-between, despite having so many things planned during summer. This pH balanced mask can be applied before bed-time and provides hydration, acts rejuvenating and repairing, and protects and smoothes the skin.

Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette and Cleansing Gel

I’m very excited about these two products! Cleansing your makeup tools is very important if you want to prevent breakouts and this kit seems perfect for cleansing your beloved makeup brushes.

What do you think of the content of the InStyle Box Summer Edition? My favorite products are the Real Techniques Cleansing Set and the Shower Bombs from Waltz 7. ‘But I also love the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat.

I’m happy with this Box content again, and I must say it has a good value for its price. The InStyle Box Summer Edition 2018 is available on shop.instyle.de for 29.90€ and comes with 3 e-paper versions of the InStyle magazine. The InStyle Box is released every three months, for each season. You can also get it for a yearly subscription for 100€.

Unboxing: InStyle Box Spring 2018

8. April 2018

//PR SAMPLE/ UNBOXING/ BEAUTY //

It’s spring, and this means it is time for another InStyle Box! The InStyle box has become one of my favourite subscription boxes, for several reasons: first, it is not a monthly box, so you have enough time to use up the products that you receive. Second, it is always filled with so many versatile products, and really stands out among other subscription boxes. I received the InStyle Box Spring 2018 for reviewing purpose and here is what’s inside:

InStyle Box Spring 2018

Of course, for spring, the products are dedicated to the season. But it is not only spring that we feel with this box, but also summer and sun, thanks to a bunch of fruity and exotic products. The box is packed with 10 different products and a sample, together with a booklet with descriptions and more discount coupons.

InStyle Box Sticky Notes Cloud

The first thing that jumped into my seight were these cloudshaped sticky notes! I’m a sucker for cute stationary and this happy cloud sticky note just shot an arrow through my heart. A wonderful and happy design that makes us feel the warmer seasons (retails for 6.95€).

Korres Mango Lip Butter

This one looks so rich and smells yummy that you want to dip your fingers in. The Mango Butter is everything you need from a lip butter. It contains shea butter and rice wax for moisture, thistle oil for nourishment, and Vitamin C and E. Sounds nice and perfect to hydrate your chapped winter lips (retails for 9.99€).

Sexyhair Healthy Soy Renewal Hair Oil

This Hair oil contains soybean extract for nourishing and Argan and sunflower oil for giving your dry hair some glow. Moreover the oil is supposed to be lightweight and offers UV protection. and it will reduce the time for drying your hair (retails for 26,95€)

Bellapiérre Cosmetics Banana Setting Powder

I already received one of this Banana Setting Powder with a past Glossybox, and it is really a lovely color-correcting and mattifying powder. It also has the ability to make dark eye areas appear brighter. The fine powder has been raved about all over in the online community. (retails for 25€).

Rimmel London Royal Blush

This cream Blush in the color Coral Queen is the perfect shade for spring and summer. The blush claims to be lightweight and not greasy, but blend in nicely and leave a satin finish (retails for 6.99€).

Lord & Berry Conceal It Crayon

That’s the first time I have a concealer crayon. I’m used to liquid type concealers but this small crayon is perfect for carrying around and it also can be used for highlighting. A pity it doesn’t come with a sharpener though (retails for 16.00€).

Avon mark.Epic Lip lipstick

This lipstick comes in a beautiful shade that is called “Rosy Outlook”, a very versatile and spring suited shade that will suit most people. This lipstick is a long-lasting one containing primer in its formulation to make it stay for hours. I’m really curious if this will hold up to its claims. Apart from this shade there are 16 more shades available (retails for 11.00€).

Lancaster Micellar Delicate Cleansing Water

Micellar Waters are one of my favourites when it comes to cleansing.They are usually formulated in a mild way and don’t dry out the skin. I haven’t tried any products from Lancaster, so I’m really curious to try this one (100ml retail for 5 €).

Lancaster Sun365 BB Body Cream

Additionally to the Micellar Water, a BB Body Cream by Lancaster was included in the box. This sun cream with SPF15 helps with tanning the skin in spring without including any self-tanning ingredients. It also contains some bronzing particles to give the winter skin a first sun-kissed glow.

28 Black Absolute Zero Guave Passion Fruit

An Energy Drink without Taurin and preservatives, that is vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free. I’m personally not an energy drink lover, but I know some people who would love this alternative (250ml retail for 1.49€).

Heimatgut Coconut Chips

I love coconut chips and they always make me feel like living on an exotic island and enjoying the sun. The coconut chips from Heimatgut are available in two versions, original and caramel fudge. I tested the originals (of course they were the first thing to be eaten after taking the pictures), and they taste very delicious (40g retail for 1.79€).

So far the InStyle Box never let me down. The products have a value that exceeds the price of the box and the products are nice choices for the warmer seasons . It is hard to decide which product is my favourite from the box, since I’m happy with all of them. The InStyle Box Spring 2018 is available on shop.instyle.de for 29.90€ and comes with 3 e-paper versions of the InStyle magazine. The InStyle Box is released every three months, for each season.

Unboxing: InStyle Box Winter Edition 2017/2018

5. February 2018

//PR SAMPLE / UNBOXING / SUBSCRIPTION BOX //

I’m happy to be able to show you another unboxing of the InsStyle Box. This box is the Winter Edition and if you are curious what was inside previous boxes you can look it up >>here<<. Of course, topic of the winter edition would be products that we love and enjoy to use during winter. But it is also about what looks appealing to us from its outside. Many people feel attracted towards beautiful packaging design and I’m no exception. Just give me something cute or beautiful and I’m tempted to get it :D

The InStyle Box is curated by the InStyle Magazine, and provides you with trendy items for the season.

The Winter Edition of 2017/2018 delivers products that are useful in winter and that have a beautiful packaging design on top. Let’s take a peek inside.

Zoella Just Say Yes Beauty Pouch

If you have followed my instagram you might know that I have many beauty pouches….one might consider it as pouch addiction. Now, I have a new addition and it is so lovely to look at: I like the light pink color with dots and the saying “Just say yes”. Also does it have a good size that fits a good amount of products.

Frizz Ease Wonder Repair Shampoo & conditioner

There have been times when I only used Freeze Ease shampoo, because it was the only one that could handle my frizzy hair. But then I discovered asian beauty and loved to try out different asian hair products. Now, having the Wonder Repair shampoo and conditioner I’m really looking forward how it will work and if it will lighten up my old love for Freeze Ease again.

Skinmono Intense Nourishment+ Hand Mask

A hand mask is exactly what my dry hands need in winter! I’ve already planned to use this mask on this weekend for some extra pampering *_* And honestly, I love the dark green color combined with the gold of the packaging.

Real Techniques Concealer Brush

I heard a lot of good things about Real Techniques Brush. To receive one of these brushes made me super happy, although I don’t use concealer very often, but maybe it will work for foundation, too. I love the orange metallic handle by the way!

L.O.V Browttitude Eyebrow Contouring Palette

This is what I was most excited about! I love brow products and since my Etude House Brow Kit is hitting the pan and is getting old and expired I needed a replacement. And so this L.O.V Browttitude Contouring Palette came just in time. I already used it a couple of times since then and there will be a review for sure.

Tavana Big Five Lash Safari Keratin Volume Mascara

This is definitely a mascara that attracts by the packaging. I love the zebra pattern of this mascara. Since I have a lot of mascaras in use currently, I haven’t opened this one, yet.

Figs & Rouge – HA+ Hyaluronic Acid 3 in 1 Hydra Active Hero Cream

Moisturize, repair and support of the skin of your body and face are the main target of this multipurpose cream. I love the pattern of the lid of this cream, which comes in a tin jar. The pattern varies and there are different designs to choose from.

Veganz Bio Hanfriegel Apfel & Zimt

I love cereal bars like that and guess how quick I was about eating that bar from Veganz….:D I’m not a lot for apple taste in cereals and cereal bars, but it was a nice and unusual taste anyways.

Last but not last the box contained a tea candle and a bag for some nice and cozy moments. A really cute idea for the season.

As always, the InStyle Box contains a lot of products and shows versatility and gives a lot of information by the thorough magazine. The box really has a great value for its price and all the products will be of use during the next months. The idea with the candle was also a sweet gesture and perfect for the season. I already love the brow kit, and I’m looking forward to test the hand mask soon. The InStyle Box is available on shop.instyle.de for 29.90€ and comes with 3 e-paper versions of the InStyle magazine. The InStyle Box is released every three months, for each season.

Unboxing: InStyle Box Summer Edition 2017

12. September 2017

// PR SAMPLE / SUBSCRIPTION BOX //

Let’s have another unboxing of a summer themed box before it has passed completely :D I’m happy to have the chance to show you the content of the InStyle Box Summer Edition 2017, which was provided to me for reviewing purpose. Like the Instyle Box I showed last time >>here<<, also this box was packed heavily with awesome products in my opinion. This post will be picture-heavy due to the loads of products that were included, my apologies in advance >_<

As the name already suggest this box is dedicated to summer and to products that bring us in a summer mood and are useful during this season. And as if they knew, they already predicted the ups and downs of summer in Germany. You must know that the weather here is not really reliable in summer, so our beauty routine has to be adapted to every possible situation :D

That said I will start with the beauty products first:

OGX Argan Oil of Morocco Shampoo and Conditioner

These travel sized bottles of the OGX Argan Oil of Morocco Shampoo and Conditioner are perfect for vacation. I already bought them last year and liked the products a lot. They make the hair smooth and manageable even in dry climate. They contain argan oil of Morocco, which also protects the hair from UV rays and heat damage, by giving deep nutrition. I used both of these during my vacation and it was the perfect size for the 2 weeks showering daily. These are available from your drugstore or amazon. The fullsize retails for around 8 €.

Douglas Make-Up Mattissim Lipstick

The Mattissim Lipstick by Douglas comes in the summer color called “Senorita”, an orange hued red shade. This liquid lipstick has a velvet matte texture without stickiness. A soft doe-foot applicator helps to create your look. I love the lid, which is covered in black velvet. It retails for 9.99 €.

Aqua Colonia Pink Pepper & Grapefruit

Solid soap becomes very handy during vacation time. Usually, I’m using liquid soap at home, but the benefit of having solid soap that cannot spill inside your luggage is definitely a plus here. The Aroma Soap from Aqua Colonia in Pink Pepper and Grapefruit is a perfect scent for warm weather. The spiciness of the better together with the freshness of grapefruit make a perfect combination. The soap retails for 7.38€.

Treaclemoon Soft Watermint Rain

I have resisted to buy this new line called Watermint Rain from Treaclemoon for weeks, since it released and luckily the InStyle Box contains the Body Milk of this line. This refreshing body milk is absorbed quickly into the skin and is easily to spread. I love the packaging design with the mint color and the mushrooms. You can get the products from your local drugstore or amazon (around 10 €).

Comodyness Urban Cosmetics Self-Tanning Body Glove

I need to try this yet but is sounds very interesting, since it is a glove and not a spray or cream. It is free from parabens and allergens and promises a natural and uniform body color for all skincolors. Maybe I can get rid of my tan lines with this glove. One piece retails for 5 €. You can get a set of 3 for 15 €.

L’Oréal Botanicals Fresh Care Geranium Glow-Elixir

A perfect fit, considering the fact that I received shampoo and conditioner from Botanicals Fresh Care in my previously unboxed Barabara Box! The product comes in a spraying bottle and contains oil from Geranium, soy and coconut to help your hair fix its glow. The products from Botanicals are without parabens, silicons and dyes. The spray can be used on toweldry hair or in between. It retails for 9 €.

Avon Mark. Gel Shine Nail Enamel

This nail polish from Avon gives your nails a gel-look without the need of an UV lamp. The shade “Fabulous” is a dark pink, perfect for summer. There are 33 colors available for the Mark. Gel Shine Nail Enamels.

Vandini Hydrating Face Mask

This Face Mask containing hyaluronic acid and caviar helps to retain hydration of the skin and makes your skin smoother and plumped. Each sachet can be used for two applications. I haven’t tried products from Vandini yet but I’ve heard good things about it. Looking forward to try this mask. This mask retails for 6€.

Let’s turn to the fashion and accessories products from the box:

Rapunzel of Sweden Magic Rubberbands

I love these kind of curly hairbands. And since you never can have enough hairbands I was super happy to see 5 colors of these included in the box. The brand Rapunzel of Sweden was new to me, but they are popular for hair extensions in Sweden. The set of 5 retails for 3.99€.

Levi’s Pins

Levi’s is not only a brand for denim, but also do they now offer pins. After the comeback of patches on clothing pins seem to be the next big thing to decorate your favourite jacket. The box included two pins from Levi’s.

Flamingo Luggage Tag

Another of my favourites from this box: I love this flamingo luggage tag. It was my perfect companion during my travel and I had it attached to my suitcase all time during the weeks in Mexico.

The food item in the summer box was Corn Chico Popcorn Magic Mix. I love popcorn, and this one was no exception and gone in a minute :D

What I really like about the InStyle Box is the versatility and the thorough magazine with the information. The magazine also includes a bunch of coupons for various online shops and even a Starbucks Coupon. The box really has a great value for its price. The Box is available on shop.instyle.de for 29.90€ and comes with 3 e-paper versions of the InStyle magazine. The InStyle Box is released every three months.

Unboxing: InStyle Box Spring Edition 2017

15. April 2017

Today, I’m going to share a very wonderful unboxing with you. This is the first time I had the opportunity to receive an InStyle Box and I love its content. So, if you do not want to be spoilert please don’t continue to read, because here is my unboxing for the InStyle Box Spring Edition 2017:

The InStyle Box Spring Edition 2017 is curated by the InStyle Magazine, providing you with trendy items for the spring season. The topic of this box is focussing on detoxing and resheshing, since spring is always the best season to do so.

The first thing that I noticed was, that the box was super heavy! I was really wondering what was inside…and the excitement grew even bitter when I opened up the package.

The box was crammed full with wonderful products. After searching through the tons of paper shreds I discovered a total of 10 products reaching from Beauty, Fashion & Accessories, Lifestyle & Living, to Food & Nutrition.

The most anticipated products were the ones from JorgeObé. I knew that Scrub Mask would be included in the box and I was especially curious to try it. The JorgObé products are producted in Denmark and are vegan, free from artificial coloring, parabens, mineral oil or silicon. Moreover they have a very minimalistic and clean product design.

JorgObé Refreshing Scrub Mask

JorgObé’s Refreshing Scrub Mask is a 2-in-1 face mask that can be used both as scrub cream or as deep cleansing mask. It contains Black-Jojoba Peeling Sheres for peeling the skin and removing dead skincells and impurities (so no microbeads here). The mask is a clay mask contains white Kaolin. Apricot kennel oil and shea butter provide your skin with moissture and protection during the peeling effect. After from the mechanical peeling effect of the jojoba peeling particles the mask also contains salicylic acid and polylacxtic acid. After application your skin will feel refreshed and leave acooling effect behind (fullsize retails for 26.99€).

JorgObé White Tea Balancing Cream

Additionally to the JorgObé Refreshing Scrub Mask a sample sachet of the JorgObé White Tea Balancing Cream was provided. The cream is described as intelligent and multifunctional cream that can be used as lightly day cream, protective night cream, or as intensive moisture masks. It contains squalane, shea butter, green tea extracts and a bunch of other plant based oils and extracts (fullsize retails for 22.99€).

But it is not only about your face, also your body and your hair needs some detox. In order to take care for your hands, that are probably very tired and dried out from the spring cleaning the InStyle Box contains soap from Palmolive and hand cream from ipuro.

ipuro hand cream

I only knew ipuro for their wonderful scented room scents, but it seems they also have wonderful hand cream. One of three ipuro hand creams was included in the InStyle box being either ipuro balancing orchid, ipuro calming calla, or ipuro energizing grass. My box contained the ipuro energizing gras hand cream and I love the simple black design with the illustration of the key ingrediuent. The cream contains aloe vera and verbena extract and is really moisturizing, rich and feels nice on the hands, leaving a citrusy and fresh scent behind (fullsize retails for 6.99 €)

Palmolive Blue Magnolia Delightful Handwash

Magnolia are a perfect choice for spring flowers. I had a soap from Palmolive before and I really like their scents. This soap is already fully in use in our household (fullsize retails fro 2.45 €).

The I Am Pure Pre-Shampoo Treatment from udowalz and Apple & Bears Body Silk are also included to care for your body and your hair.

udowalz I AM PURE Pre-Shampoo Treatment

This Pre-Shampoo Treatment by udowalz is using clay and green tea extract to combat greasy hair and dandruff. The clay is removing residues from the hair and scalp and the green tea has antioxidative and calming properties for your scalp. The product is used before using shampoo on wet hair. Leave it in for 5 minutes and then apply shampoo directly on top of the treatment. Wash your hair and remove both products. Your hair is supposed to stay fresh and keep their volume throughout the day. From June onwards the treatment will be called Pure Matcha Pre-Shampoo Treatment (fullsize retails for 7.95 € / sale of the old version for 3.95 € atm).

Apple & Bears Body Silk

The natural and enviromental brand Apple & Bears have curated wonderful and luxurious Body Silks, containing wonderful ingredients. The InStyle Box contains one of four versions of these body milks, being Honey & Hemp, Grapefruit & Seaweed, Bergamot & Green Tea, and Pomgrenade & Aloe Vera. I received the Apple & Bears Honey & Hemp Body Silk. It has a wonderful and light texture that absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a film on the skin. It has a nice scent, too! Moreover, the body silks contain natural firming ingredients and are made in England (fullsize retails for 27.95 €)

Apart from beauty products there were also food products included: A chocolate bar from nucao and superfood powder from Lebepur.

nucao raw cocoa bar

The nuacao raw cocoa bars are available in three varieties: almond chia, coconut cinnamon, and espresso and a perfect way to live through the day. The InStyle Box contains the almond chia bar and it was gone within minutes. I love chocoalte! Oh, the foil is decompostable and the cardboard box is made from recycled paper :) (retails for 2.80 €).

Lebepur Superberry Powder

The Lebepur Superberry Powder is made from dried and pulverized aronia, acai and raspberries, and fits perfectly into our springtime detoxing containing so many superfoods. This vegan powder can be used in smoothies or for cereal bowls or deserts. I didn’t try it yet, but I’m looking forward to it these days (retails for 6.90 €).

Last but not least the fashion and home products that were included in the InStyle Box:

Purelei Hair Tie

The beautiful hair ties from Purelei can be used as fashionable bracelets, too! One of four different styles was included in the InStyle Box. The Purelei Hair Ties all have the lucky aloha spirit within. The brown hair tie in my box comes with a flower shaped Purelei charm and a pompom and looks beautiful in combination with other bracelets or accessoires (three hair ties retails for 11.90 €).

Unicorn Mug

This was probably the most heavy item of the box, a Unicorn Mug! The cute mug with the illustration is handmade and from porcelein. It is available together with other lifestyle products in the InStyle shop (the unicorn mug retails for 11.90 €)

I enjoyed the versatile products of the InStyle Box Spring Edition a lot! The topic detox and spring was perfectly included into the products and there were so many things to discover. The Box is available on shop.instyle.de for 29.90€ and comes with 3 e-apper versions of the InStyle magazine. The InStyle Box is released every three months.
