May Beauty Heroes

It’s the 1st of the month and you know what that means! It’s time to reveal what is inside the May Beauty Heroes box. This month’s box features a brand I’ve reviewed before and I’ve actually had the chance to chat with the wonderful founders in person at last year’s iBE. Max and Me is an Austrian brand that had me immediately with their beautiful products and gorgeous, fairy-like illustrations on their packaging. The brand is also built off of the love story between the founders, Max and Tanja Gruber. They are so sweet and kind in person, and speak very passionately about Max and Me. You can tell within moments of speaking with them, how much Max and Me means to them and how much love they pour into the brand. So as you might imagine, the hero this month is made with the same passion as everything else they do and it’s created a lovely product.

Circle Of Protection Body Oil

I’ve tried a lot of body oils and this one is truly a delight for your senses. That phrase gets thrown around a lot, but when you experience a product like this, there’s no other way to describe it. It has a perfumey blend of floral, citrus and a little bit of earthiness, that seems to be universally appealing. The scent is peaceful and calming. The oil is what I’d consider to be a richer body oil. It has a dark golden color and is a bit thicker going on, but blends in nicely without leaving any greasiness. I find that it keeps my skin soft and hydrated and is very long lasting for a body oil.

The star ingredients of this beautiful oil are some of my favorites: Argan, Marula, Rosehip, Magnolia, Manuka, Jasmine, Litsea, Vetiver, and Silver Fir. All so skin nourishing! In keeping with the theme of the oil, Beauty Heroes and Max and Me are also inviting people to join in a global meditation. You can read more about it and see how to participate here.

The Sidekicks

Every hero needs a sidekick and this month there are two special surprises in the box. First, you get a companion size Circle Of Protection Body Oil to share with a friend. Second, they included a sample of Enchanted, their face oil which won best in show at iBE last year.

This month’s box is (as always) such a great value. The retail cost of these products would be around $95, so for the price of the box it’s a great deal. If you haven’t tried Max and Me, this is a great way to be able to try a couple of their products. If you’re interested in experiencing the May Beauty Heroes box for yourself, you can sign up here. Subscribers always get 15% off in the Beauty Heroes shop, which is filled with hero brands and special discovery boxes, like the Au Naturale box I shared with you a couple of weeks ago. Happy May! xo
