PRODUCT REVIEW: RETREAT YOURSELF BOX WINTER 2019



Every so often it is so important to take time out of our busy lives to care for ourselves. For different people, it means a lot of different things. Personally, I love going for a run or long walk around our local lake, or simply sitting and enjoying a quiet cup of coffee flicking a girly mag. 


Retreat Yourself also has a subscription box that is perfect for some self-pampering. The box is loaded with a selection of seasonally selected natural and organic beauty, health and lifestyle products, and with the majority of the products full sized. I was kindly sent the Winter Retreat Yourself Box, and this is what was inside;


Hart & Soul Coconut Pumpkin Soup - Full Size, RRP: $4 / 400g
Nothing is better on a cold winter’s night than a portion of hot soup. Yeah, I know, the best is home made soup made from scratch, but let’s be honest, finding the time can be hard. I love these soups from Hart & Soul as they are 100% natural and do not contain any preservatives. There are several different versions available, but this Pumpkin one is my favourite, and I always have a in the pantry for a quick and easy dinner.

Mr Lees Gluten Free Noodles Full size, RRP: $4 / 65.4g
These cups of noodles are seriously the quickest and easiest lunch you can have, simply add boiling water and then wait a few minutes. Perfect when you’re in a hurry, or to have in your drawer at work too. I like that these are free from additives and colours, and low in salt and sugar too.

True Water Infused Sparkling Water - Full Size, RRP: $5 / 450ml
I am always struggling drinking sufficient water during winter, so I am super excited about this raspberry infused sparking water, made with real fruits. Just so good. I definitely need to get my hands on a few more bottles, and also try the lime version. Oh, and how pretty is that bottle.

Human Bean Co Faba Beans - 4 x full sized packs - $1per pack / 20g
These air puffed crunchy faba beans are naturally high in fibre and proteins making them an ideal snack to keep you full and energised for longer. The Australian grown beans are are all natural and gluten free, and come in several different varieties including Sea Salt & Vinegar, Lightly Salted, Pizza Supreme and Lime & Black Pepper. Super delicious and very addictive.

Krumbled Foods Collagen Beauty Bites - 2 x Bites - RRP: $3.99 each / 32g
These beauty bites combine illuminating and age defying ingredients including collagen, probiotics, prebiotics and vitamins into a single dose in an easy to eat snack bar that tastes super yummy while making you feel and look better from the inside out. The bars are all natural and contain no refined sugar. All I can say is yum, yum, yum, I need a big supply of these!

MineTan Coconut Water Self Tan Mousse - Full Size - RRP: $29.99 / 200ml
MineTan Tanning Mitt - $7.99 each
This self tan mousse is has been infused with caffeine and Guyana. It is designed for you to be able to tan without sweating it off during exercise as it allows perspiration to pass through the tan instead of taking off the tan. The tan is easy to apply streak free with the Tanning Mitt, and develops naturally without looking orange and without the usual yucky fake tan smell.

Bae Starshine Edp - Full Size - RRP: $34.95 / 25ml
This perfume is a made with notes of coffee, cedar wood, vanilla and patchouli along with citrus, and has a gorgeous fresh zesty scent, and smells so lovely. I also love that it made using essentials oils and is vegan, cruelty free and made whiteout derivatives.

This cleaners made with natural active ingredients including hemp seed oil, witch hazel, coconut water and lactic acid and flower extracts. It is designed to help clarify the skin and keep it looking youthful. It has a lovely fresh scent and I also love that it is made using 100% natural certified organic ingredients, and that it is cruelty free and vegan too.

Eco. Modern Essentials Sinus Clear Essential Oil - Full Size - $18 / 10ml
This essential oil is made of lemongrass, lime, grapefruit and peppermint and designed to help relieve the symptoms of hay fever, sinus infections and cold and flu. It can be used by adding a few drops to a bath and then have a good soak, as a massage oil or alternatively in an oil burner or vapouriser. With two little kids in the house, this will be so handy having during the winter season.

Vayda Organics Soothe Blemish Relief - Full Size - RRP: $34.95 / 15ml
This all natural certified organic treatment is made using tamanu oil, jojoba oil, lavender essential oil and tea tree essential oil to help accelerate would healing, skin cell torn over and the formation of new tissue while helping to soothe irritated blemishes, and kill bacteria and reduce inflammation, while also helping to reduce the size of scarring and preventing new acne. Having very hormonal skin, I am excited about this treatment and that it is natural and cruelty free too.

Fitcover Collagen Mascara + Green Tea Fibre Wand (lash mass kit) - Full Size - RRP: $47 / 7ml + 1g
This mascara kit includes a waterproof collagen-infused mascara to help promote lash growth and nourish the lashes, while the second step, the the green tea fibre wand helps give you longer, fuller and thicker lashes by adding fibres to the individual lashes. You finish by adding a second coat of mascara on top of the fibres to seal them in. For an even more intense look, you can repeat the steps once more.

Personally, I am especially excited about the Fitcover mascara kit. I have never come across the brand before, and it just sound amazing, and even more so for someone like me, totally hopeless using false lashes. I also also excited about the Vayda Organics Soothe Blemish Relief to help fight my breakouts and the Eco. Modern Essentials Sinus Clear Essential Oil to help my little boy get through the cold and flu season. Also particularly about the Krumbled Foods Collagen Beauty Bites, which are such a great idea Human Bean Co Faba Beans for a healthy snack and finally the True Water Infused Sparkling Water to help me keep hydrated.
