Type the Hype Discovery Parcel Unboxing Video

amomentwithfranca · 15 July 2016 · 34 Comments

I was so excited to receive the Type the Hype Discovery Parcel which I have made an unboxing video showing all the products that were inside. Type the Hype is a lovely network where they put together bloggers with brands. If you are a blogger I would recommend you to register with them so you can get some lovely opportunities like this.

Type the Hype Discovery Parcel FI

I was very curious to find out what was inside the box after receiving it. I knew it would contain different samples of products from brands that I already know but I was even more excited to find new brands that could potentially be a new love for me!

You can watch my unboxing video below:

I hope that you like the video and that you find some of the products interesting and perhaps you would like to try for yourself. I have listed below the link to the products I received so you can have a look, 🙂

IMG_9566

ShoeLicks

I love this idea! How many times have you used the same shoes because they are comfortable but because they look the same you can end up bored of the way they look. With this product you will be able to re-use your super comfortable heels but with a cool accessory to vitalise their look so you look more like a cool yummy mummy than a boring mummy, LOL! I have not tried them yet but I definitely will do and I will update you soon!

Results with Lucy

I have recently seen a growth in this area giving busy people the opportunity to get fit and healthy from the comfort of their home. This is really important. Lucy has a very popular programme. I have heard really good things about this so I’m looking forward to trying it. They gave me a discount code so I will let you guys know how it goes. They have some free trials too, so maybe you could give it a go too! 🙂

Treatwell

This another interesting idea. With this clever website and app, you can find your nearest beauty salons and spas wherever you are. So if you have to travel to another city and you don’t know where to go, you can use it to search and book the nearest one. I thought this was very useful.

They are the largest hair and beauty bookings website in Europe. They have a 24/7 beauty bookings platform that puts customers and salon managers in control, lets you book at times and prices that suit you, and gives you all the style know-how you need to look and feel amazing. How convenient is that?

Graze

This company has amazing snacks. You can subscribe to receive a box at any time. They have a regular service but you can update your subscription at any time. They have 3 types of boxes to choose from: Variety Box, Light Box and Protein Box. You just need to go to their website to choose the type of box you fancy and then start having some fun choosing your yummy snacks. Your first box is always half price and  will cost you £3.99 per box thereafter.

This is also a great idea for corporate events. They can personalise the box for the company that is hosting the event. I thought this a great idea. Not long a go, Nick brought home a Graze box that was given to him by a Client at work when they rebranded. so we all enjoyed them at home.

In the Discovery Parcel I received a pack of 3 mini flapjacks that were really tasty, which I have eaten already! I love them!

Benefit

I absolutely love Benefit – they have amazing products. At the moment I’m in love with their Browzing! I use it every time that I put make upon. I feel that it makes a great difference to my eyebrows.

They sent me a pack with small products to help you with your pores. It’s called Porefessional and includes a mini ‘license to blot’. They were travel sized products so they will be super practical when I’m on holiday or when I’m on the go for quick touch ups as they will fit perfectly in my bag. The packaging is lovely and the design of the products is also super cute. I love the colours!

Bliss Energising Eye Cream

This is an ‘everything’ eye cream that treats under eye circles and puffiness. This eye cream defeats dark circles with eye-brightening powders and locks in moisture. This is exactly what I need!

It has 3 main benefits:

• Hydrates delicate under eye area
• Protects and corrects free radical damage
• Instantly brightens eye area with soft focus powders

I have just started using it and it feels really good and fresh. Of course I should be using it longer to have an idea if it will help me but so far I like it!

Weleda

They sent me one of their new products: Skin Food. I was really pleased to received this cream as this is something that I will always need to use when I feel my skin is a little bit dry or damaged. Apparently this cream has 8 solutions. See below:

  • Replenishing cream for hands, elbows, knees and heels
  • Face mask
  • Nourishes chapped lips
  • Easy cuticle care
  • Makeup primer
  • Revitalises tired skin
  • Highlight cheekbones
  • Treat split ends

So this is just amazing. I’m so looking forward to trying this more often! I’m sure it will be a must in my bag as the size is perfect for when I’m out and about too.

Mintycoco

This is an interesting product and one that I have heard a lot about lately and something that I was very keen to try. Mintycoco is an oil pulling product delivered in sachet form for your convenience. It is made from virgin coconut oil and flavoured with peppermint oil for an enjoyable oil pulling experience. You only have to warm the sachet in your hand or under warm water. Tear the top off. Squeeze the contents into your mouth and swish around for 5-15 minutes. Spit out when finished and brush your teeth.

Apparently it helps to remove stains and plaque from your teeth, exposing the natural whiteness and glossiness of your teeth. It is also naturally antibacterial so does a fantastic job of killing bacteria and fungi in your mouth, leaving your breath fresh and gums healthy. The coconut oil is naturally moisturising so you’ll also notice your skin and lips start to look bright and well moisturised as the coconut oil absorbs into your body through your mouth.

Elemis

This clarifying micellar water effectively removes make-up and the daily build-up of skin pollutants to reveal a clear, radiant complexion. I have tried this and it feels really good when you put it on your face. It does remove your make up really well and gives you have a feeling of freshness. I’m looking forward to continue trying this product but so far I like it.

Gel Touch

IMG_9572

I was SO excited when I saw this product as part of the samples to try. OMG how lucky I am. I have heard of this before and I really wanted to try it. I have had gel nails done before but never tried this starter kit. It comes with everything that you need. I’m really looking forward to do my nails soon so I will update you soon about this. It is perfect when you are travelling or on the move as it has a traveller size.

This GelTouch Mini Starter Kit transforms any of your favourite nail polishes into a high-shine glossy, long lasting, gel manicure in only 60 seconds. The starter kit includes: GelTouch Clear Top Coat, Mini LED lamp and Gel Cleansing Wipes.

Prezzybox

IMG_9573

I received the cutest box ever. They are cocktail fragrance bath melts from Wild Olive, that come in a very unique and imaginative egg carton box! I though it was genius. I love things like this which are different, this is something I have definitely not seen before. The whole packaging was really creative. The box included 4 different ‘cocktails’: Mango Mojito, Gin an Lime, Piña Colada & Strawberry Daquiri! I love it – I’m looking forward to having a nice soak in the bath to enjoy these bath melts!

IMG_9576

Prezzybox is the complete online gift solution. If you’re looking for a unique or exciting gift for your Mom, Dad, brother, sister, buddy, half cousin or yourself (let’s face it – we all deserve something nice) then Prezzybox is the place.

IMG_9560

I also received information from Moo to order business cards, Kérastase small samples from Rush Shop, Clean and Lean small samples, and a planner from Type The Hype.

SO that is all guys, I hope that you like the products that I have shown you. I can’t wait to try them all properly! Thank you so much Type the Hype for such an amazing box!

Which products did you like the most? Have you heard of these brands before? Leave a comment below as I would to read what you think.

*Disclosure: I was given this box with sample products to do an unboxing video and blog post. However all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet

I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima
