worldProducts Personal Trio Review


Happy Hump Day, Lovelies! And let's hear it for multi-use products that actually work! *clapping* I'd like to share with you today some products from worldProducts that actually work! worldProducts was started by Brian Phillips. They are based in Toronto, Ontario. All the products are plant-based and contain no artificial colours and scents, no parabens or SLS. Now here's the multi-use part. A lot of their products can be used on skin and hair interchangeably. Now that sounds very useful, but.........Now I've tried multi-use products before and been disappointed. They either did only one of the many things. or did nothing right. I approached these products with some caution. I was given the chance to worldPersonal Trio. The trio above consists of (left to right) 

worldClean: a hair and skin cleanser
worldBelieve: a soothing salve for the skin
worldProtect: a hair and skin moisturizer.

I'll start with the little guy, worldBelieve. I'm actually wearing this on my lips right now :) It doesn't really have a distinctive smell and only melts on contact. Otherwise it stays put. I love it on my lips so far. I haven't tried it on my elbows and knees yet. But judging by the job its doing with the skin on my lips, my knees won't be disappointed. It can also be used to remove static and frizz and add shine to your hair.

worldClean serves as a hair shampoo and a shower gel. It contains Vitamins A-E, Ivy root, cucumber extract, Burdock extract and Calendula. It was pretty cool that I only had to pick up one bottle to do 2 jobs. It was unscented, but I'd say it smelled clean. My hair and skin were squeaky clean afterwards with no weird residue or less-than-clean feeling left behind. I enjoyed using it. A hit! Its also gentle enough to use on baby skin and for shaving. It also boasts to be a make-up remover and make-up brush cleaner.

worldProtect also knocked it out of the park. It also contains Vitamins A-E, Aloe Vera, Dandelion, Elderflower, rosehip and rosemary. worldProtect also nourishes the scalp. I applied some to my hair and it still softened without giving that slippery residue, fake feeling that other conditioners can leave. After my shower I spread it onto my skin. It felt like I was smoothing silk all over myself. It also kept my skin hydrated for 24 hours. Another hit! You can also put it in your hair as a leave-in conditioner.
Still want your smells? No problem. You can blend and personalize your products using any of the worldBlend essential oils. 

Overall, I have to give another hand to worldProducts. Multi-use products that actually work! This Trio is advertised as a perfect travel companion. I'd have to agree with them. It wraps convenience, luxury, and natural all into one. Check out their other products and reviews on well.ca and maybe pick some up :). 

I was sent these products for review. The thoughts and opinions expressed are mine own.

The State of Beautiful Onyx & Mick + TreatBox Winners

The State of Beautiful Onyx & Mick



Lovelies, are we having fun yet? I say Ya! I can't begin to tell you how much fun and what a privilege it is to blog for you all. I'm happy to have created a place where subscription box enthusiasts and beauty lovers alike can come visit and, chat, and learn. I'm excited to announce that I'll be expanding the scope of Beautiful Onyx & Mick. 

The Cat's Meow Product reviews: I will start doing product reviews. I feel its important to share your opinion on platforms like this. Product reviews have always helped me make decisions on what I would be worth spending money on. Please check out my first review ever here. Some of my reviews will be sponsored, some will not. I will always disclose which kind it is.

I also will be doing more features on Canadian businesses, both big and small. I think its important to discover what is in your own backyard. So I went looking for everyone! A lot of these businesses can be found on the Canadian Love tab. I'm happy to share my findings. Who knows, maybe you'll find a hidden gem in your neighbourhood :)

I had a request to feature more natural, more organic products. I'm a little embarassed to admit that I haven't used a whole lot of natural or organic products. But what better way to learn then to try and blog?! I will be doing reviews on more products that are pretty good for you. And maybe we can all learn together :)

I will also attempt Empties posts. I've never done one before but I've read a few and its interesting to see what bloggers are loving to the fullest (or emptiness?) I also think I might do an Un-empties type post, where I can rant and give constructive criticism on products that are not going to be emptied by me.

A lot of old favourites will still be around! I will still be sharing unboxings with you. As a sub box addict its a hard habit to kick. And of course more kitties! 
The kitties themselves are loving their new found fame. They definitely know how to strike a pose when I have my camera out. They are also getting more proactive in checking what comes in the mail and not just playing with the ribbons. I'll have them do some kitty reviews too. 

And now the TreatBox winners are.........
a Rafflecopter giveaway

Congrats, Lovelies! I have contacted each of them and they will be receiving their prizes soon. And Lovelies, don't fret, the May TreatBoxes are ready in the wings! Stay tuned ;)

Thank you all for stopping by and reading my blog. Beautiful Onyx & Mick could not be what it is today without my Lovelies, so give yourselves a round of applause. Every follower, every fan, every view makes me smile and dance. I love the little community I've found here in the blogosphere and hope that I am, in some way, helping too.



Stay Beautiful, Lovelies!
