Winter is lingering, but just this past week we had two days that showed signs of Spring trying to peak through. The weather is confused, the groundhog is fired, and my skin could use a pick me up. And as always, the Boxwalla Beauty Box is always right on time. The April Boxwalla box is featuring two brands that I learned about towards the end of 2018, and I’m excited to share with you today: Malaya Organics & Flower and Spice. The two products featured are healing, soothing, and reparative. Just what my skin needs after what has felt like a never-ending winter.
Bi-monthly Boxwalla delivers some of the best of the best in clean beauty at a steal — this month is no different. This box, which features two full-sized products, is valued at $160 and only costs $49.95 with no commitment (cancel anytime).

Wondering what all the hubbub is about clean beauty subscription boxes? In this post, I talk about my love affair with clean beauty subscriptions (i.e., why I think they are important) + my five faves.
*I received this Boxwalla Beauty Box for review, but as always, all opinions are my own.*
Malaya Organics Advanced Repair Mask
I first discovered Malaya Organics last fall through the PR firm that represents them and has had the pleasure of trying out several items from both their skincare and body care lines. We’re not just talking about a one hit wonder with this brand; there are soooo many goodies to be found. So let me say, you are in luck with this discovery in this months Boxwalla box.

Flower and Spice Soothe & Repair Daily Moisturizer
Flower and Spice is another brand I discovered last Fall, and it’s brand new to the beauty scene. Karmen Novak, a Slovenian expat, living in the Netherlands, took inspiration from the flowers of Holland and the spices that she found so effective when taken internally. These beneficial herbs and spices shine through in the entire line. I’ve tried their Midnight Beauty serum and it is rich and potent.
The April Boxwalla box features the Soothe and Repair Daily Moisturizer ($82) which is a rich, luxurious cream. This formula features both rosewater & rose absolute along with coriander seed oil. Coriander seed oil is highly antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, making this moisturizer perfect for acne prone or irritated skin. What makes this super soft moisturizer perfect for the change of the seasons is the soothing and reparative ingredients such as aloe vera and artic oat extract. I also love that this very emollient cream rich in Vitamin E & essential fatty acids care of the prickly pear oil; this is so damn necessary after the crazy winter we’ve had. These two benefits of the prickly pear oil work together to reconstruct your skins lipid barrier.
Thick like clotted cream
Not gonna lie, after this winter, I am about ready to throw my whole face away. Layering this thick moisturizer on top of my skin treatments at the end of the night to seal moisture in has me feeling like I might be able to recover. Here’s how I’ve been using it: Cleanse, mist, serum, 2-3 drops of oil, and seal all that goodness in with the Flower and Spice Soothe and Repair Moisturizer. A few days a week I’ve been using the Malaya mask from this box between the cleanse and mist step. While this moisturizer is thick, it blends in beautifully so it could absolutely be worn during the day. I wear it at night… here’s why ๐๐ฝ.
One caveat I have for the Flower and Spice products is that the scent is pungent. It’s very earthy and herbal. So if you’re sensitive to smell this line might be a bit much, but the scent is care of the Coriander and Bergamont, which are excellent for irritated skin. So, in my opinion, the strong smell is worth the benefits and doesn’t linger for very long; but I still wear it at night.
