Triyit Product Discovery Club

Triyit is a product discovery club that sends you a tailored selection of hot new products, to try at home and I was lucky enough to be sent a box to try.  The first thing to notice is how brightly coloured the box is.
Tryit Product Discovery Club
We believe that discovering new favourite products should be fun, simple and FREE! That’s why we’ve built Triyit, a product discovery club that sends you a tailored selection of hot new products, to try at home for FREE!

Is the mantra behind Triyit and it is what got me intrigued enough to sign up for a prelaunch box. having completed a questionnaire (here) which takes just minutes to complete. As you can see, this box is a little different to boxes I am used to opening, for one, it isn't a beauty box, but there is a beauty product lurking here. 

Inside the box you are given a campaign booklet which gives you a little insight as to what is in the box and a little information about each one and then there is also some voucher codes to share with friends and family so they can make some savings.

Triyit Product Discovery Club
There are five products within the box and the first item to capture my attention comes from The Crooked Beverage Company and it is is an alcoholic soda which is vegan-friendly, contains no artificial nasties, is low in both sugar and calories and is packed full of natural ingredients.   They contain 4.7% alcohol and within my box, I had Dayglo Skies which is Raspberry and Lime flavour.

I like how refreshing this drink is and it is one of those beverages which would be perfect on a hot summer afternoon over ice.

Next, we have deliciously moreish roasted peas from Brave Foods and they are described as being high in protein and fibre plus they are grown in the UK. This is a bag of roasted split peas which are infused with Paprika and Chilli and when I first saw them within my box, I did turn my nose up, but having now consumed the entire bag, not only are they a great snack, they actually did pack quite a punch with their flavour.  It is also worth noting that they also come in Sea Salt or Garlic and Chive flavour too.

Next, we have some coconut chips from The Urban Fruit Company and as someone who absolutely loves all things coconut and having tried these before, I quickly consumed them. What I love about these chips is how crunchy they are and how natural they taste and they only contain the smallest sprinkling of sea salt. Not dry and they don't leave a nasty aftertaste in the mouth either.  If coconut isn't for you, then there is the choice of having Sriracha chilli Coconut Chips, Mango Chips, Strawberry, Pineapple, cherry or Raspberry options too.



The next item in my box is from The Berry Company and it is a can of Acai Berry Juice that is lightly sweetened with stevia leaf extract. It contains a delicious combination of acai fruit extract, with grape, raspberry and aronia berries and is low in calories and in sugar. 
Triyit Product Discovery Club
I wasn't too sure of the taste of this when I tried it, but I did slowly get used to the taste and managed to finish the entire can. I am not a big berry juice drinker usually, but I would try this again.

The final item in the box comes from Karine Jackson. Karine is described as being a global pioneer for sustainable, natural, organic and vegan haircare from her multi-award winning London salon. 
Triyit Product Discovery Club
Available from The Beauty Kitchen, the Protector Multi-purpose Primer. Designed to prime and protect the hair from UVA/UVB and daily pollution damage, this primer contains Protec7 which helps to protect the hair against 7 different types of hair damage.  I find this cream is perfect for helping to tame flyaway hairs when styling and I love that it is 100% natural and it also smells just amazing.

This is my first venture into a box of products which isn't all beauty related and ive really enjoyed the discovery.  If you would like to be part of the Triyit Discovery Club, you can find more information on their homepage right here.  I would love to know what you think.

Winky Lux - It's a Winky World

You've probably heard of Winky Lux and maybe even seen a few of their products floating about on your social media feeds.  I first came to know Winky Lux some time ago when a friend of mine sent me one of their lipsticks and I just loved the whole concept.
Winky Lux - It's a Winky World
Described as being a brand who strives to excite and delight with new trends, innovative packaging and luxurious ingredients, Winky Lux products are paraben, sulfate, gluten, phthalate free and they are also against animal testing.  I was lucky enough to be introduced to the latest products from the ever-expanding range and having used them for a good few weeks now, I thought it was time to share them with you.

Known for their lipsticks with a 'flower in' as a friend of mine described the range, Winky Lux also single eyeshadows, eyeshadow palettes, brow pencils, concealers, bronzers, highlighters and so much more.  The first item I have been using is the Tinted Veil.  Available in shades Fair, Light, Medium, Medium Deep and Deep, I have the lightest shade and it is perfect for my skin tone. 
Winky Lux - It's a Winky World
Winky Lux - It's a Winky World
Surprisingly this Tinted Veil is tea infused and is uses white tea and pomegranate extract helps to protect skin while Vitamins A and E nourish.  The formula is really lightweight which is definitely what I've needed in the amazing Summer sunshine we have just had, there is nothing worse than spending your time ensuring your makeup looks perfect, only for it to melt off the skin a few hours later.  Providing a sheer hint of colour, this Tinted Veil is also SPF30 and helps to protect from UV rays.  Priced at £19.

The Matcha Lip Treatment comes next and again this is a product which surprised me with how much I like it.  Looking similar to the Lipstick Queen Frog Prince Lipstick, this one is a little more fun.
Winky Lux - It's a Winky World
Made using real green tea powder and food grade vanilla, this balm is ideal for everyday use as it works to soften, repair and protect your lips.  
Also included within the balm you will find 
  • Coconut Oil - a naturally antibacterial emollient that provides a protective moisture barrier while it nourishes
  • Avocado Oil - vitamin-packed, super food with long-lasting power
  • Vitamin C - super-healing ingredient that helps repair dry, chapped lips

Putting all of these ingredients together you have a balm, which is a mint green shade, leaving your lips feeling really moisturised.  Priced at £13.

My current obsession with Watermelon is taken one step further with the Watermelon Jelly Balm. This balm uses pH-activated ingredients, which makes it a colour-changing Watermelon Jelly balm. Once applied it goes on clear and then after a few seconds it changes colour to leave your lips looking perfectly pink.
Winky Lux - It's a Winky World
I have consumed about 3billon watermelons in recent weeks and using a balm which smells exactly like a watermelon is a delight.  Not only does it leave my lips feeling pink, they are also nourished and moisturised too.  Priced at £13.

Staying with balms, the Flower Balm is perhaps a product you are most likely to recognise. Said to be the best selling lip stain, this balm reacts with your own skin's pH levels to create your own unique shade of pink which will be unlike that of anyone else.  
Winky Lux - It's a Winky World
Each flower balms contains a real chrysanthemum flower and they have a beautiful scent of coconut which is such a beautiful aroma.  Again, on the lip, as well as turning them slightly pink, they do feel moisturised and hydrated and for once, I also happen to like my chosen shade of pink!  Priced at £13.

If Glosses are your thing, then Winky Lux have quite the products to capture your attention.  The Disco Glosses are described as being the newest gloss in town and not only are they loaded with cosmic glitter that is more pretty than it is gritty, these Disco Glosses happen to change colour!  I have the shade Groovy which is a beautiful shade of green with beautiful darker flecks of glitter within the gloss which sparkle in the light.
Winky Lux - It's a Winky World
Once applied onto the lips they are clear but within a few seconds, they change to your perfect shade of pink and look just stunning and they work just as well on their own as they do as a lipstick topper, depending on your preference.  Priced at £13.

Pink isn't usually the shade I would choose for my lips but there is something about having a pink which works with your skin tone which just works and from the swatches below, you can see how different each pink shade is.
Winky Lux - It's a Winky World
So there we have an introduction to some brand new products to the Winky Lux catalogue and if you want to get your hands on anything from the range then you can via the Winky Lux website, Feelunique, BeautyMart, ASOS and now Boots.

W=HB² Power Duo Serum

When news of the W=HB² serum, curiosity got the better of me and I wanted to give it a try. W=HB² which stands for Wellness = Health X Beauty2 is described as being an exclusive, premium beauty brand which is committed to perfection through the science of wellbeing. Created by Yilin Wang, a leading BioChemist, W=HB² has been researched, developed and produced in one of the leading skincare laboratories in Switzerland using advanced technologies to create a brand that truly delivers.   You can probably see, from that introduction, why I wanted to try the serum for myself! 
W=HB² Power-Duo-Serum
W=HB² Power-Duo-Serum
W=HB² Power-Duo-Serum
W=Hb2 embraces this duality with the belief that true beauty is defined by your inner health, peace and spiritual wellbeing, something I have been told on one or more occasion at product launches, it is just W-Hb2 has seemingly put a lot more thought into the meaning behind it.



Wellness = (Health x beauty) Squared = W=Hb2
H = Health – inner body status, the “Yin”. The foundation for beautiful skin.
b = beauty – outer reflection, the “Yang”. The mirror of internal balance.
2 = squared – true wellbeing requires spiritual health and beauty as well as physical. 
Positive energy; mind, body, spirit, heart, doubling health and beauty.
= W = Wellness – harmony and balance.


As for the product? Well whilst I know looks are not everything, this is one very luxurious looking product.  With a two-phase, fragrance free, triple action treatment, what you are essentially getting is two products in one bottle thanks to the double pump.  Designed to be applied twice a day after cleansing, the serums work to promote balanced skin health, beauty and protection.  So after cleansing your skin, you simply apply just one pump of Phase 1 and massage it into the skin until it absorbs and then immediately afterwards you apply just one pump again of Phase II and gently massage it into the skin, after which you can complete the rest of your skincare routine.

The two serums:

Phase I For Beauty – REVIVE + REDEFINE + RADIANCE 
Tri-Active Age Corrector Ingredient Complex (A light gel texture) With an emphasis on the internal strength and resistance of the cellular matrix, it helps to ensure cellular vitality, hydration and elasticity are maintained to assist repair and delay the effects of premature ageing. Key ingredients and benefits include:

1. PhytoCellTec Alpine Rose Stem Cell: encourages skin stem cell vitality.
2. Biotechnological Tri-Peptide: boosts collagen production.
3. Probiotic Bacterium: skin barrier strengthening.
+ Botanical Sodium Hyaluronate: hydration.

Phase II For Health – PURIFY + PROTECT + REBALANCE 

Tri Active Brightening & Anti-Pollution Ingredient Complex. (Soft Pearly Fluid) Protects the outer skin layers to help maintain an effective barrier to environmental and lifestyle aggressors that threaten the internal structural integrity of the skin, slowing cellular turnover and causing damage to skin tone, radiance, strength and elasticity. Key ingredients and benefits include:

1. Niacinamide: UV & blue light damage repair, skin brightening.
2. Moringa Seed Pure Cure Peptide: pollutant purification.
3. Raspberry Stem Cell Technology: ageing environmental stress guard.
+ Sodium Hyaluronate: hydration.


Both of these serums are so lightweight on the skin, it is quite amazing to see just how far one pump actually goes. A gel-like formula, I have found that they absorb fairly well with minimal massaging needed and as soon as Phase I has settled you can immediately apply Phase II.  Not sticky, not tacky and with no fragrance, it is without question an absolute luxury to use.  I have had this serum in my possession now for a good few months and have been using it as advised and what I have found is that where my skin would usually become quite dry and dull, it is infact the opposite - very hydrated and soft to the touch.  What really stands out for me is that there is some UV and blue light damage repair thanks to the inclusion of Niacinamide, an ingredient my skin just loves. 

This W=HB² serum is priced at £110 but it is a great investment and in order to tempt you that little bit more, if you use the code Queen15 at the check out (here) you can save yourself £15% but be quick the offer is valid for just 30 days!
