PRODUCT REVIEW: RETREAT YOURSELF MYSTERY BOX OCTOBER 2O19



If there is one subscription box that always impresses me, it is the Retreat Yourself Boxes. Their boxes have essentially been designed for self-pampering, and are loaded with a selection of seasonally selected natural and organic beauty, health and lifestyle products, and with the majority of the products full sized.

Retreat Yourself is know for their seasonal quarterly boxes, but every so often they also do a special Mystery Box, which is always sold out within hours of going on sale, if not sooner. I was kindly sent the latest Retreat Yourself Mystery Box, and this is what was inside;

Global Nature Pure Natural Collagen Booster - Full Size - RRP: $39.95/30g
Collagen supplements is one of the currently very popular beauty supplements, and I admit that I am very curious about it too This one is made of up to 99% purity diatom fossil powder sourced from a fresh water lake, also containing minerals including silica to support the collagen production to maintain healthy radiant skin, and growth and health of hair and nails. It can simply be added to water, or mixed into food such as porridge or smoothies. I can’t wait to try it.

Nib & Noble Chai Drinking Chocolate - Sachet, single serve 21.5g - RRP: $11.95/250g
This spiced chai chocolate drink sounds absolutely delicious, made with organic and fair trade ingredients, raw cacao, and unrefined coconut sugar. It can be enjoyed hot or cold, as well as it can also be used for baking or added on top of breakfast cereals.

Nib & Noble 40% Drinking Chocolate - Sachet, single serve 21.5g - RRP: $11.95/250g
I just couldn’t wait trying this chocolate drink. Rich without being too sweet. And like the Chai, made with organic and fair trade ingredients, raw cacao, and unrefined coconut sugar.

The Daily Bar Hemp & Espresso Fudge - 1 x bar, 50g - RRP: $40/10bars
This bar is right up my alley, being made with coffee along with anutrient-dense superfoods including Pepitas, Sunflower, Flaxseed, Hemp, Sesame, Chia, Pecans, Almonds, , coconut and cacao powder. And trust me when I say that it is amazing. I’m addicted. Need a full supply!!

EcoTools MYSTIC LUXE TRAVEL SET - RRP: $39.99
I absolutely love the products from Eco Tools, and this brush set is no exception. It comes with a little cosmetic bag for storing the brushes, along with five essential brushes, perfect for travelling. The brushes include, Foundation Brush, Buffing Concealer Brush, Flat Eyeliner Brush, and an Angled Blush Brush. Everything you need on the go in one great set.

Eloments Organic Vitamin Tea - Sachet sample, 1 serve - RRP: $
While I am a coffee drinker, I am very excited to try out this Double Lemon tea - lemon is my fave!!! It contains lemongrass, lemon verbena and fragrant ginger, and green tea and is enriched with organic nutrients. A tea bag contains over 40% of the recommended daily intake of B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, C and zinc, all derived from nutrient rich herbs, fruits and botanicals. Sounds amazing to me!

Toniq Lab Ginger Shot - 1 bottle - RRP: $24/4 bottles
This Ginger shot is handcrafted and cold pressed from 100% natural and raw ingredients supplied from local farmers. It is a rich source of vitamin B and C to promote immunity, and with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, for a stronger immune system. I admit that I am not fond of the taste of ginger, but after having back to back colds throughout winTer, I do love the sound of this.

Dr Teals Foaming Bath Soothe & Sleep with Lavender - Deluxe sample, 88ml - RRP:$17.99 / 1000mlI admit I am no good at taking bath. This Foaming bath helps to relax the body and relieve the mind. It contains Pure Epsom Salt and essential oils from lavender to soothe the senses, relax tense muscles and provide relief from stress. While the added Aloe Vera, Shea Butter and Vitamin E help hydrate skin. Sounds just what I need.

Skinfood Kiwifruit & Tangerine Repairing Mask - RRP: $6.95 / 1 x mask
This anti-ageing sheet mask contains concentrated Vitamin C from Kiwi Fruit Extract and Tangerine Peel Oil to help brighten and firm the skin, promote even skin tone, and diminish age spots and pigmentation, while also promoting collagen production. It also contains Vitamin E, Omega 3s and hyaluronic acid to nourish and moisturise the skin. I can’t wait to try it, sounds fantastic.


Overall, I have to say that I am impressed with this mystery box of goodies from Retreat Yourself. I love exploring new products and brands, and this box allows for that, and I love the variety that you will always find in the Retreat Yourself boxes, with the majority of the products also full sized (and not those annoying sachet samples), so you can actually try them out properly. And at just $36.95, this box is also exceptional value with the Eco Tools Brush Set and the Global Nature Pure Natural Collagen Booster both worth $39.95 each, and on top, you got all the other goodies from Skinfood, Toniq Lab, Dr. Teals, Eloments Organic Vitamin Tea, The Daily Bar and Nib & Noble. Bargain if you ask me!

Sadly, by the time you read this, these Mystery Boxes are already sold out, but it is still a great teaser of what you will find in the even bigger quarterly boxes with the summer edition arriving soon, and of course you can also keep an eye out for the release of the next Mystery Boxes to launch.
