THE DRAGON'S HOARD SUBSCRIPTION BOX

27/4/2018

49 Comments

 
I was kindly granted  the opportunity to review this marvelous Dragon's Hoard subscription box, which I came to quickly love. The box I received had a theme of 'Music is All Around'.

The Dragon's Hoard Box is a monthly subscription crate based in Australia, that firmly supports small Australian businesses as they will always seek to include Australian-made-goodies amongst their monthly bookish merch. The Dragon's Hoard is a wonderful home run business that provides a reasonable alternative for booklovers in Australia who are looking for something closer to home, or just something with a new and different focus.

Each YA book subscription box supplies a paperback YA books based upon a monthly theme that is loosely classified as Fantasy/Sci Fi, with 3-5 bookish merchandise and goodies. Each crate costs about $30.00 AU.

Also please note that the dragon drawn around the middle logo, is not a part of the original box design, as my had mother accidentally written on the from of the box, so I covered up the scandlous writing with a drawing of a dragon to match the box's design.

 These character lip balms are a must have for every book nerd out there! They are honestly without a doubt, one of the best lip balm products you can get out there as they are guaranteed to hydrate and moisturise even the driest of cracked lips. I love how the lip balms are naturally coloured with mica that applies transparent on your lips with a bit of natural simmer that glistens in the light and leaves your lips feeling soft and supple with an extra bonus of your lips smelling just like your favourite book character.
The texture of each lip balm applies smoothly onto your lips with the perfect blend of fragrance oils and natural ingredients.

It also contains the following ingredients:
Coconut Oil, Cocoa Butter, Beeswax, Shea Butter, Castor Oil, Vitamin E, Natural Sweetener, Natural Coloured Mica, + Selected Fragrance Oils

As you can see in the pictures below, I received my favourite Parabatai pairing, Jem Carstairs and Will Herondale, from The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare. Will’s scent is described as ‘Smoke & Rain’, which is the perfect description as the scent is quite musky and hard to determine just like his character. As for Jem’s character lip balm, it smells delectable with its ‘Smoke & Burnt Sugar’ scent that has quickly come to be my favourite.

Every product from Behind The Pages is made from all natural ingredients that are perfect for those who have sensitive skin. I have been using this product and cannot recommend it highly enough! So what are you waiting for? Pucker up and check out those kissable lip balms from Behind The Pages and all their other wonderful products.

Also please note that handling times may vary as each product is made to order.

OWLCRATE SUBSCRIPTION BOX

17/11/2017

In all my life since the beginning of book crates, I have always dreamed of owning an OwlCrate to call my very own: ever since its first launch. I am now proud to say that against all odds of being unable to purchase online, I was granted the opportunity to receive their October, ‘Once Upon a Dream’ themed OwlCrate for review, which I still cannot get over! It feels as if this is a dream and that the crate will miraculously disappear without a trace. (Thankfully that is not the case; otherwise my poor heart would break.)
 
For those of you who do not know, OwlCrate is a YA book subscription box that supplies newly released YA books with 3-5 bookish merchandise and goodies. Each crate costs $29.99us shipping ($6.99 to US, $10.59 to Canada, $19.99 Worldwide). Each box comes with a card detailing the items included and about the month’s chosen theme.

Also please note that the photos below do not do the Neverland Beanie justice.
You can check out a store photo of the product here.

Upon appearance, the crate arrived in pristine condition with neat shipping details on the back of the box, sealed shut for safety. The design (as you can see in the photos below) is decorated with simple designs that are eye catching and presentable, worthy to be placed upon a bookshelf for display. The box itself is quite study and well made. Inside the box you’ll find a number of bookish items based on the crates theme alongside the main item, a new highly anticipated YA read. The hardback book you receive is guaranteed to be a new release that comes with a signed book template by the author that you can stick in, and a pre-scanned letter from the author as well that is exclusive to OwlCrate. You also receive an exclusive OwlCrate pin (that is a new edition to the boxes) that is adorned with the same design as theme card and on the edges of the pin it states the theme, and the number of the OwlCrate edition based on each month.

OwlCrate was created to share the joy of reading with the world. We believe in the importance of literature, and the magic of the written word. Stories help to expand our minds, expose us to new experiences, and show us that we're not alone. But we also know that reading can often feel like a solitary activity, and we wanted a way to bring book nerds together. By sharing the fun of unboxing your OwlCrates, as well as reading each month's chosen novel along with other members, we hope you find a safe and happy place among our community.
