This is my second box from the Boxwalla subscription which is a new subscription box for me. Boxwalla is $49.95 for each box with the subscription. It's delivered every other month. It's a green beauty box--Green beauty products often get the bad rap of being boring & ineffective. The Beauty Box challenges that notion and lets you experience the most effective and nutrient-rich beauty products we have experienced, exquisite products that harness the potency of plant-based ingredients. Always cruelty-free.
This month the theme is A Brief History of Timeless Things with three beautiful products, each a carrier of culture, telling stories that begin 5000 years ago from Egypt, Rome, Oman, Nambalia, India & more. The next month available for subscription is February. There are one time boxes available for purchase HERE for $59.
The December Beauty Box contains three products, each a portal to travel through time and space, with ingredients that have been part of ancient cultures. Learn how some timeless things evolved to find their perfect form in the products in this box.
Inside is:
- DAFNA's PERSONAL SKINCARE EYE CARE ($66)
- LEPAAR 24K PRECIOUS OIL ($60)
- REBEL AND MERCURY CANDLE TIN ($8)
Dafna's Eye Care is an unusual award winning under-eye treatment has been formulated as a serum-in-lotion for the delicate eye area. Ayurveda meets Biotechnology to create a treatment that is uniquely effective and fast absorbing. Chicory Oligosaccharides and natural peptides stimulate collagen production and synthesis. These two ingredients leads to an immediate lifting effect as well as long term hydration and firmness to the delicate skin under the eyes. Aloe hydrates the skin along with low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, rosehip reduces the appearance of fine lines, calendula extract reduces puffiness, hibiscus extract inhibits the breakdown of elastine keeping the skin elastic and soft. Eye Care also wears beautifully under makeup as it is cream based rather than oil based.
Lepaar's luxurious face serum is designed to be regenerative, exfoliating, moisturizing, replenishing and a 'do it all', for all skin types and for any time of the year. It is crafted with impeccably sourced ingredients : Tasmanian calendula, Daintree vanilla bean, papaya seed oil from India, seabuckthorn fruit and seed oil from Germany,pomegranate seed oil from Israel, raspberry and blueberry seed oils, three kinds of frankincense: from Somalia and Oman , two kinds of myrrh : from Somalia and Namibia, certified cosmetic grade, non-nano 24K gold from a family owned company in Germany.
Rebel & Mercury's candle is made from 100% natural essential oils and absolutes, in a proprietary blend of coconut-based wax (with a bit of beeswax) that is free of soy and palm ingredients. The best-selling scent (Cinammon, Clove, Nutmeg) is warm & enveloping, with top notes of sweet orange that segue into clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and hints of cardamom. With a gentle and lovely throw, it is perfect for winter and the holiday season.
The Rebel & Mercury The Spicy & Earthy Candle was amazing. I already burned through mine. A spicy clove scent perfect for December. I haven't started using the Dafna's Eye Care yet as I want to finish my current eye serum first. I did test the texture & it's a light serum cream texture. I love the black glass bottle with pump my perfect kind of packaging. I can't wait to throw it into my lineup next. Details per Dafna:

I have been using the Leepar Precious Face Oil. I love the packaging on this oil--a gold letter seal pressed onto it, very nice & luxe.
