I love discovering and trying new subscription boxes. When Boomerluxe contacted me to review their box, I was very intrigued after having looked at their past boxes. I am not yet part of the 50+ group but I found many of the products were even useful for me as a women in my 30s.

This review is of the Boomerluxe Deluxe Box.

Each Boomerluxe comes with an information card detailing each item in your box for that month, as well as the retail value.

100% Pure Indian Tie-Dye Silk Scarf – $43.00

This silk scarf is stunning and so soft! It has a beautiful, simple tie-dye design and is very elegant and light weight. It is perfect for a lovely spring day and can be dressed up or dressed down.

Elizabeth Grant Collagen Re-Inforced Silk Edition Firming Eye Pads – $24.00

An under eye collagen treatment that immediately transforms eyes from tired and saggy to revived and firm. I am not part of the 50 plus women this box is aimed at, yet I am super excited to try these eye pads. I am sure even many women under 50 years old would love an under eye boost!

LOVEFRESH Moroccan All Natural Deodorant – $24.00

An all natural deodorant that will keep you smelling fresh all day long. I have tried a few different all natural deodorants which actually work great to keep me smelling fresh all day. I am super excited to try this brand as it is the only all natural deodorant I have tried that is a twist top and doesn’t require me using my finger to put it on.

Ours Calming Everybody Lotion by Cheryl Hickey – $11.99

Everyday natural moisturizer for everybody. Very hydrating formula that combines the relaxing scent of lavender, coconut and olive oil to moisturize sensitive skin. Aloe and cucumber extracts soothe dry skin and leave skin feeling soft and smooth. Lotions are always great to have on hand and I am very impressed at the size of this bottle. It has a rather strong lavender smell, but is still very nice and so far the lotion works great on my hands.

O’MY Topical Pleasure Gel – $8.99

A personal pleasure gel to increase sexual sensation for women.

Verdict: I really enjoyed my first Boomerluxe Box. The items did not seem to be only for the 50+ women but rather any women concerned with aging, I’d say in her mid-30s and up. I very much appreciate and can use every single one of these products and I am in my 30s. By targeting this box as a Baby Boomer box, they are very much limiting their fan base and sales. I would recommend this box to any women, any age who loves trying new products and who loves to make herself feel good.

The value inside this Boomerluxe Deluxe box was definitely worth it! I received over $100 worth of full-sized goodies for less than half the price. My favorite item inside the box is the natural deodorant, I am in love with these natural deodorants and with the upcoming summer season, it will come in very handy and leave me smelling great all day. I also love that this deodorant is part of the Women Supporting Women Program through Boomerluxe.

I love candy… so this box is perfect for me! My family is lucky if they get a few samples. 🙂

I am not sure what the theme of this box is, but my guess would be “randoms“ and how perfect it is that the first candy out of the box I sampled was the Randoms.

When my box arrived I literally was like a kid in a candy store (no pun intended)! The box was very simple and eye catching. I could hardly wait to sample each one but first I had take all my review photos. Life is rough…work before candy (and fighting off the kids who are eyeing up the treats).

Each month Project Candy Box sends out an information card describing what the box is all about. Unlike most subscription boxes they have opted to include a blog link for you to learn more about the items you received in this months box.

They also include an amazing incentive to help spread the word about Project Candy Box on social media. To be enter to win a free box next month all you need to do is upload a photo of your unboxing moment #projectcandybox and tag Project Candy Box.

Good Luck!

Lot 100 Lychee Gummies – Malaysia

A soft, squishy, individually wrapped lychee flavoured candy. I am assuming that is the flavour, I have never tried lychee before. It is a unique textured candy and the colouring is not as pink as the photo shows. These will be great to share at a later date with our family and friends, maybe they will love them.

Cadbury, Dairy Milk Marvellous Creations – Jelly Popping Candy – UK

Small jelly beans and popping candy baked into a creamy milk chocolate bar. This chocolate bar sounds like so much fun! This is nothing like I have every had before and I am looking forward to sampling it.

Frazzles Crispy Bacon Crisps – UK

A salty and smoky bacon flavoured crispy corn snack. These almost resemble a chip that looks like bacon. My bacon loving husband was very excited about these, but he did complained they were extremely salty even after only a few. My daughters loved them!

Revels – UK

A random mixture of orange cream, coffee cream, caramel, chocolate raisins, chocolate buttons and Maltesers. You never know what you are going to get! This sounds like a fun candy game… I hope I get the caramel or raisins! 🙂

Wonka Randoms – UK

An endless variety of shapes. No two bags are alike. There are three different types of candies: normal transparent gummies, transparent gummies with white foamy backs, and gooey filled gummies with white foamy backs. Gummies are my favorite and I ate all of these first. My daughters loved picking their favorite fun shapes out of the bag.

Sweet Tarts Soft and Chewy Rope

Chewy licorice ropes filled with a creamy cherry punch. These are amazing, I am sad that there is only 4 of them.

Jolly Rancher Mango Crayon

A very powerful and and sweet mango flavoured candy with a grainy, gooey texture. As I was writing my review I just had to try this candy! I could not imagine what a grainy gooey texture was, but I must say, it was delicious and very flavourful!

Mike and Ike Zours

Chewy, sour fruit flavoured candies. Flavours include sour lemon, sour green apple, sour watermelon, sour blue raspberry and sour cherry. I was imagining these to be super sour but was pleasantly surprised with a mild sour flavour. All the flavours tasted so good!

Toronto Blue Jays Chewy Candy Laces – Canada

Sweet and sour strawberry laces. A small strip of sugar coated candy. I am proud to see a Canadian baseball teams candy make the candy box this month!

Rad Pack Gum

Radical bubble gum balls in five extreme flavours: super sour, mouth mess, foaming flavor, ball of fire, extreme cool. I remember having something similar to these when I was younger and more daring. My daughter saw them and wanted the red one (ball of fire)…um… no (this coming from a girl who doesn’t like anything hot and spicy)! This would also be a great game to play with friends…you never know which flavour you are going to get! Hehe!

Verdict: Who wouldn’t want to get candy delivered monthly to your door?! This is the first time I have tried a Project Candy Box and I loved it! If you are a candy lover, this box is for you! The variety in the box is amazing… many different tastes and textures for whatever candy mood you are in. This box gives you a wonderful sampling of many fun, and some crazy, candies from Canada and around the world. It brings me back my youth and some of the great candies I use to have, Jolly Rancher Crayon and Radical Bubblegum. My only problem with the candy box is that I have a hard time pacing myself and I want to eat them all!

Every day my daughters check the mail box in hopes of something fun for themselves. Surprise…today was the day they got amazing mail!

Once they saw this parcel with their names on it, they could hardly wait for me to take my pictures, so they could begin doing their crafts.

With the chilly weather outside my daughters have been constantly building crafts and playing with items from their Curiosity Box. The option for a sibling add on, was a huge bonus to allow each girl to create her own crafts.

Each Curiosity Box comes with an information card outlining each craft and activity in your box for that month complete with instructions. and any addition facts and activities you can do with your children to supplement the themed learning. The theme in October’s box is “Happy Spook-tacular Halloween”.

*We received two of everything in our box (*sibling add on), but I will only review one of each item as that is what comes in a regular box.

Craft #1: Haunted House

A foam haunted house craft with very simple, easy to follow directions. I did have to help glue the house walls and roof, but by the end even my youngest was having fun gluing and designing her own personalized haunted house.

I love how this craft was complex enough for my 5 year old and simple enough for me 3 year old. It took some time to complete but it kept their attention the whole time. They were having so much fun deciding where to put their spooky spiders, bats and ghost.

My oldest daughter kept telling her little sister that “her haunted house is the scariest haunted house ever”.

This craft created some amazing sister bonding moments and one happy Momma. 🙂

Little one is playing and pretending to be scared by her haunted house… silly girl!

Craft #2: Reflector Spider Wristband

A quick, simple craft but it does require some thinking to put the eyes and sticky dots on the correct sides of the reflectors in order to fit together properly. Luckily, I was there to help after a few mistakes. 🙂 Of course, once we completed these they wanted to wear them around…not sure they will last until Halloween.

Craft #3: Funny Skeleton Hanging Decoration

What a simple and adorable skeleton craft for little kids. It is fun and educational while teaching a wide range of skills, without kids even realizing. My daughters thought he was so silly with his wobbly arms and legs. Today was very much a fun crafting day by Mommy and the girls!

They had lots of fun decorating their skeletons with puffy paints and are so happy to have them hanging on their bedroom doors.

Activity: Race to the Haunted House for Candy Game

After a quick overview of the simple rules, both girls were easily able to play this game together. They loved how this game was similar to Snakes and Ladders but with a fun Halloween twist.

Other Activity Ideas:

These little extras are an amazing added bonus for continued enjoyment of Curiosity Box even after the crafts are finished. They include items such as toys, accessories, colouring and activity book, quick sticker crafts and other easy family games and activities.

It was so much fun watching my girls play with these sticky pumpkins. I remember these sticky hands from when I was little.

Verdict: This is an amazing subscription box for kids 3-7 years old who love crafts and games. My girls love everything about this box. The Halloween theme definitely allowed them to connect more with the crafts and allowed for some great conversations about real vs. pretend and safety at Halloween time. I love how these crafts and activities have very simple, easy to follow instructions and children can add their own personalization depending on their abilities and level of interest. Curiosity Box is an amazing value with many different crafts, activities, games and toys and is the perfect gift for Christmas and Birthdays. My girls cannot wait to see which crafts and activities are in next months box.

A surprise of either a blush, bronzer or lip gloss came in each VeganCuts beauty box. I received the bronzer, was hoping for blush, but I still love and will use my bronzer. It is perfect for summer! All Medusa’s Make-up products are cruelty-free.

Molly Rose Balm – Body Scrub in Grapefruit Basil

A body scrub that smells delicious and exfoliates your skin. A cute handmade small sample, works great but will only get about two uses out of it. A fun sample size to try out the product.

Verdict: I think you must know by now that I love VeganCuts Beauty Box! This box had a wonderful mixture of make-up, skincare, bath and accessories. I loved the fun accessory this month! And of course, some great full size products, with a few smaller sample products. It is great to get some more well known brands and at the same time supporting a few new smaller businesses. The value of this months box is amazing! I would recommend VeganCuts beauty box to everyone who enjoys vegan and cruelty-free beauty products or anyone who (like me) is searching for a healthier option for your skin.
