hey guys welcome to planning with crystal so today's unboxing is a blob box for december 2021
so this is a brand new period subscription box i did recently unbox one of their one-off special
edition boxes i'll put a card here if you want to check that out because that is still available to
buy but essentially this contains any kind of monthly things you might need sanitary wear etc
tailored to your preferences in terms of how long your flow is or what kind of like
tampons pads whatever it is you want to use they can cater for that they've got lots of different
brands and all that kind of stuff and even more excitingly it's filled with lots of lovely treats
as well so blogbox have kindly sent this out to me so i can share it with you today and i can also
offer you 10 off your subscription if you decide to sign up and get a box using my discount code
crystal 10. it retails at 24.99 a month if you sign up for six months or longer you start to get
bigger discounts which like equates to free months and additional perks and all that kind of stuff
so every month you will get five to ten beauty or lifestyle treats it also includes free uk
shipping so i just i love this idea because i'm definitely one when i'm not feeling 100
i like to treat myself i like to look after myself i definitely believe in like self-care and all
that kind of thing so getting a box like this every month definitely helps so this is what it
looks like inside it's got a little envelope with my name on and it has a little seal on the back
and then how cute is this they've actually got christmas cards with the blob box on which i think
is really cool i've had their own christmas cards made it says naughty or nice we hope you have a
very merry christmas and a happy new year and that is from enya who is the founder of blob box
so also in here we get a little kind of booklet that tells you all about the items inside and why
they were chosen all that kind of stuff and the other thing i really like is as well as giving you
these nice treats and all the period supplies you need they also educate you on cycle phases which
i didn't actually know anything about despite being 35 and having heaven knows how many periods
i didn't know anything about some of these phases i just thought there was just a menstruation phase
it was also a follicular phase an ovulation phase a luteal phase and it tells you all about what you
might experience at those kind of times of the month and what's going on and things there is
i think is really interesting so i'm impressed with that i love to learn so i really like the
idea of that so obviously i'm going to show you everything that's in here i'll tell you how much
each individual item is worth yeah we're going to chat through it so let's get into it so the
message says hey blob box bestie tis the season it's our birthday and the festive season is here
our december blog box is all about celebrating turning one and we want you to celebrate with
us while showcasing our most loved products this festive season and it also says that there will
be some exciting changes to our boxes the products in the box will now focus on the menstrual cycle
phases allowing you to make the most out of the products each month we will also tell you what day
of your cycle you should use them on by using the tracker that we will include in every box or you
can also make sure you're using our period tracker or an app to track the days we're referring to
our december tis the season blob box is full of beauty picks and products to let
you know that christmas is officially here love nye so the first thing i see in here
is the lipstick i'm currently wearing and when i first saw the shade i wasn't sure of it but
actually when i've got it on i quite like it it's just a nice kind of nude so this is a lipstick by
mellow it's a full-size lipstick and the shade is posh it's a matte lipstick but it's quite
comfortable and it seems to have a little bit of shine to it this is what the lipstick looks like
and there's a swatch for you but obviously i also have it on my lips so i do think that's really
nice these sorts of things are just like a real pick-me-up i think just popping on a little bit of
lipstick yeah so this is the creamy matte lipstick in posh by mellow cosmetics it's a full size worth
18 pounds mellow matte lipsticks are highly pigmented richly formulated and long wearing
the formula glides on smoothly leaving a velvety smooth moisturizing finish they're also cruelty
free paraben free and vegan the next beauty item in here is a lip liner this is also by
mellow it's also a full size and this one is in the shade rose now it's not an exact match
for the lipstick but it's pretty darn close it actually gives you that little bit of fuller
lip look i think because it's just got that slight shade variation where it just sort of
slightly defines them that little bit differently than having it all exactly the same so it actually
just seemed to work quite well together the gel formulated lip liner glides on fluidly and adheres
instantly with a matte finish define your lips with an instant release of rich saturated colour
this can be worn alone or layered with the mellow cosmetics posh creamy matte lipstick and it
actually tells you that the lipstick can be used during all phases and this can also be used during
all phases as well the next item is also for use through all phases and it comes in a little pouch
like this and this is by bamboo babe it's a makeup remover pad it's a full size worth six pounds 95
it is super soft and it's got sort of like little textured bumps on each side of it as well it feels
amazing and i do like using these sorts of things to remove my makeup no more wasting
expensive cleansers trying to remove makeup this is reusable machine washable and long-lasting
simply wet the pad with lukewarm water and wipe it over your face this is worth 6.95
and it's full size the next item is to be used during your luteral phase and these are wax melts
in gingerbread cookies by the good or a company they're a full size worth five pounds and they
really do smell of ginger in fact when you open the box that is all you could
smell it really is quite a strong scent the wax melts have been specifically curated and every
center note has been carefully considered to create a distinctive scent that lasts
it's full size it's worth five pounds and it says this is made with environmentally friendly soy wax
hand poured and blended in england so i like that the support in other small businesses as well i
just don't have anything to burn that in at the moment i really need to get a wax melt burner
i do find this with a lot of subscription boxes include wax melts but if you haven't got a burner
you know you then need one don't you so next up we've got something to use during your follicular
phase and it's another kind of beauty item this is by vitter masks it's a cranberry and apple face
sheet mask it's a full size worth 4.99 a vitamin c boosting mask designed to nourish and brighten
skin with added antioxidant protection this is a vegan friendly mask with an infusion of radiant
skin care boosting ingredients and cranberry and apple it feels a little christmassy as well so
it definitely kind of goes along with it being a christmassy box as does like gingerbread and
things like that next up we've got something to use during your menstrual phase so this is
a flapjack it's a caramel and cranberry flapjack by trey bakes full size worth one pound fifty
it's an all butter flapjack with lashings of luxury caramel and loaded with cranberries
toasted flakes hazelnuts and almonds did you know cranberries are a great sauce to eat during
menstruation winter season of your cycle and the final treat this month we have got this lovely
hot chocolate stick by chocobo now i have had these before from jacob and oh my gosh they're
probably the best stirring spoons i've used for hot chocolate so it's a full size worth 295 i
also love that it includes all the marshmallows and it's a dark chocolate one as well amazing
these hot chocolate spoons are handmade from the highest quality dark belgian chocolate complete
with the perfect serving of mini marshmallows to make your dark hot chocolate experience even
more indulgent and satisfying simply heat up a mug of milk until steaming and then stir
in the hot chocolate spoon until melted finish with a heap of mini marshmallows on top i put some
cream on there as well the ultimate kind of treats when you just need that real chocolate to hit i've
got a few other bits and bobs to tell you about in just a second but this is what period products
came in which i thought is really cute rather than just having a lot of sort of loose items putting
them in a little bag like this which is just like a little cotton drawstring bag so you can just
throw it in your bag with whatever you need and it just says go with your flow so i've got pads
these are always pads and there's like different ones in here according to how many you'll need to
carve to your flow size and things and there's also there's nighttime ones and daytime ones
obviously all individually wrapped in there one less thing to sort of have to think about and pick
up isn't it so on the back it says find a golden ticket blob box has partnered with q a to give you
the chance to find a golden ticket hidden within our december boxes they've got one 100 pound q a
