Hello! I’m Sabrina and Welcome to my Blog Severn Wishes!
As if this is the second to last box of the year for 2022! I literally have blinked and the past three months seem to have gone by in a blur. Don’t forget that you can click my “Treatbox” tab under my blog categories to look back through all of the Treatbox UK unboxing, Reveals and Reviews from the very beginning up to now.
Without further ado! Let’s get into this unboxing! If you would prefer to watch my video recorded live when I first unboxed this one then please head to either my Instagram feed or my Facebook page.

My Honest Opinion on the Box
One thing that I really enjoyed this month was how consistent the theme was throughout. I always love the thought that goes into the Treatbox original items, and the quality is usually excellent as well. This box contents was no exception, with the beautifully designed set of cards as well as the bookmark, I believe these along with the coaster are my favourite items for this month’s box.
So what else do we have left, there is the something to eat and drink, and the satin eye mask to wear which is nice for our bit of indulgent self care on an evening. Love it! There is also the enamel pin which are always really lovely. I need to start attaching my pins to an old t-shirt and put them on to a cuddly toy or something like that! A tee of positivity! See what I did there?
Finally we have the lovely Moon Calendar print which is unusual and something not seen before in Treatbox. I really liked this, it won’t interest all people but for me it’s always nice to look and see when the full moon will be.
Overall this is a really lovely box, definitely in my top 5 this year I think. I cannot wait to start using my bookmark and I’m going to tuck into that popcorn soon. I’ve sadly come down with a cold and sore throat this week, so I don’t want to open it and know I won’t be able to enjoy it to its full potential! So watch out on my socials and I will let you know on there what I think!
Thanks for listening to my views today!

If you wear Make-Up you can Revolutionise your Time and Brush Cleaning routine with a Spectrum Collections Brush Laundrette Towel. I bought one of these with the idea of it being a functional and time saving tool, but actually it’s so much more than that. Let me show you exactly what I bought, and then I will go into my Product Review for you.
Bundle Contents: Makeup Brush Laundrette Towel which is Microfibre and highly absorbent, Mesh Bag to put it in when not in use, Luxury Vegan Brush Soap in Pink Grapefruit and Bergamot.
The Spectrum Collections towel is designed to hold up to 32 makeup brushes of varying sizes and widths. With elasticated slots that hold your brushes in place while the towel is hung up. It does so using the sewn on hooks, one either side, hook it up in your bathroom or other warm place in your home and watch those brushes dry. I bought the bundle because my Vegan soap was a few years old and this one comes with a brand new Vegan Luxury Soap tin which has the built in brush cleaner in silicone on the inside of the lid – genius!
Screenshot of the Spectrum website showing the Bundle, you are now able to choose your soap.
My Honest Opinion
The product is overall very well made to a high standard and the quality is good throughout. Very absorbent and soft microfibre towel, which means even when you’re done with it after a few uses it’s also easy to clean too. Even down to the tiny details such as the silicone gripped ends of the hooks, so it doesn’t damage whatever you decide to hang it up on to, that’s why I love this product, because the Spectrum design team thought of everything. The elasticated tabs are in all sorts of sizes so your brushes are never going to fall out, just find the one that’s the correct size to hold the brush you’re currently cleaning. And finally the soap from the bundle is great, it smells good and is Vegan (yay!) and it really goes a long way too, you don’t need much of it to get those brushes clean again. Use the lid to help clean those brushes then gently rinse, and hang them upside down to dry. Oh, and those hooks I mentioned before are detachable, so you can take them off and then throw the towel part in the washing machine with your other pink items. Store everything once dry inside the mesh bag that comes with it and you’re ready to clean those makeup brushes anytime you need to.

Today it’s the turn of the October 2022 box from Treatbox UK!
Are you as excited as I am? I love October! Autumn colours and Halloween! I wonder how many themes are contained in this months box! Let’s open it and see!
If you would prefer to watch my unboxing video you can find it on my Facebook here
What’s Inside the Box for October 2022?
Treatbox Calendar Print – October Treatbox Original Autumn Theme Socks Treatbox Original A5 Print “I’m Ready for Cosy Jumpers…” The Make Arcade X Treatbox – Spooky Craft Kit – Pumpkin Bag of Cocoba Signature Drinking Chocolate – Eat Drink Love Mini Book by Ruth Jones – Love Untold (Excusive First Look) Mini Jade Gua Sha – Face Relaxing Tool in Organza Bag Spooky Biscuit Little Ghost
Here are more of my pictures… (leaves and pumpkins were not included in the box)
What’s my honest opinion for this month?
When I first opened this box and took a peek inside I just knew I was going to love it. I also appreciate just how hard it must be to keep regular subscribers like myself, happy, due to them not wanting to constantly repeat certain items. But this month Zoe and her Treatbox team have really out-done themselves! Where do I start?! Let’s go with my favourite item, and it has to be the socks! I’m someone who has continually said I love the socks that come in Treatbox, but this time they are extra special due to them having Treatbox sewn into the design along the base. Autumnal themed and beautiful as well makes all the difference too. Following on from the socks to receive a brand new item is excellent, the Jade Gua Sha is a face relaxing tool to help aid the skin and blood flow. We haven’t had anything of this sort before and I cannot wait to give this a go over the coming weekend. The usual Calendar Print and the A5 Print are lovely again this month, I like to rotate my prints around my home and I just put up the ones from the last three years of Autumn Treatboxes! I must get a photo of them all together for my social media to show you! We also have a make-able item this month which I love! Crafting our own little Pumpkin! Yay! It’s not the first time we’ve seen Make Arcade and Treatbox collaborate however it’s the first Spooky Craft Kit we’ve had, and every kit has so far been unique and unusual and I love that! We get to make something and keep it and by making it our own it becomes personal too!Watch out on my socials because I will update you when I do this Craft kit!
What’s next? Oh yes, the huge bag of 54% cocoa chocolate! Which can be enjoyed eaten, drunk or melted. And you can even enjoy it with your Biscuit! Mine was a little Ghost and he’s so cute! Despite being smashed up in the post he will be enjoyed over the weekend too! Finally we have the Ruth Jones mini book which is a first look chapter of an up and coming new story she’s done. Ideal to pop into your handbag if you know you’re going to be sat in a waiting room at any point this month.
Overall I think this has been one of my favourite boxes of this year so far. We have got something to eat, something to make into a drink, something to do, an item to read and something to create, an item to display and an item to wear. Plus an item which could be seen as our new self care. All of which when combined make an all rounded box or treats and will make October better for having them. With the autumn and Halloween themes combined with general luxury treats it’s a lovely box this month.

Welcome to Severn Wishes Blog where I, Sabrina, regularly review a wide variety of things such as this Treatbox! This subscription box has been going for years and I buy one every month as a gift to myself. I review said box here on my website and showcase the products on my social media platforms too, it’s known as Sabrina’s Reveal and Review.
So what’s inside the September box? Well this month our Calendar Print reads “holding on to the last bit of summer” and I am so glad that they did! I’m not ready to admit that it’s over with for yet another year.
A beautiful lilac tissue paper and a white heart sticker leads me into unwrapping a box filled with pretty pieces and Treatbox UK originals.Let’s see exactly what’s inside…
Treatbox Original Calendar Print ~ September 2022 Treatbox Original Blank Page Notebooks with Seaside Design x 2 A5 Treatbox Original Item – Pink Jewellery Bag with Pearl Beads and Gold Chain Oh K! Age Defence Hand Mask with Bakuchiol Shell Shaped Trinket Dish in White and Gold Stationery ~ Rose Gold and Pearl Topped Pen Daily Concepts Multi-Functional Mother of Pearl Soap Sponge
Here are some more of my photographs!
What Are My Thoughts?
Overall this is a very nice box filled with several items that we have not had before from previous months. The necklace in its own original Treatbox bag, the original designed notepads and the trinket dish are stand out items for me due to their quality and appearance.
The other items are also good and I look forward to trying out the hand mask this month and using the pen. I tried it out already and it’s black ink inside and writes nicely and smoothly.
I really look forward to giving the sponge a go as well! Keep a look out on my social media images for the products in use over the coming weeks.

So what did the August box offer us for this month of treats?
Treatbox Original Calendar Print Treatbox Original Colour Me In Pages x 2 A4 Treatbox Original Item – Bound Recipe Journal Notebook Oh K! Anti-Blue Light Sheet Masks x 2 with Ginger and Antioxidants Gardners Cookie / Biscuit – “Tea + Biscuit Club” Quote – Vegan Treatbox Original Item – Enamel Pin Badge “Star Baker” Treatbox Original Item – Drinks Coaster “Time for Me” Miss Patisserie “Happy” Essential Oils Shower Steamer Block
Here are some more photographs!
What is my Honest Opinion on the items in this August box?
We have some of the usual items in this box which include (of course) the Calendar Print and a biscuit which are regular in Treatbox and are very nice. I also see there is a Mask again this month but it’s actually two separate masks which is slightly better value as we can do two this month, or invite a friend around for a pampering session!
The Treatbox original products are unique and are really in keeping with the baking theme this month, which include the Drinks Coaster and the Recipe Journal. As someone who does a lot of cooking that is really handy! The Star Baker Pin is very fun and I have a friend that this is perfect for, I will be gifting this to her because she bakes far more and far better than I do! Ha!
The set of two colouring sheets are fun and are back this month. I always find Adult Colouring to be calming for me. Check out my social media for updates on these as I fill them in as the weeks progress…
What do we have left to talk about? Well if you watched my unboxing video on August 2nd you will know that I started having an allergic reaction to the Shower Steamer block during my recording, orange is something I became allergic to a couple of years ago and I could no longer eat or drink this without feeling poorly. When I smelt the shower block my nose instantly started to run and my eyes started to itch. Sadly I had to wrap this product up in the Treatbox plastic packaging as soon as I hit the stop button. I quickly photographed it later that day, before wrapping it again and giving it to my mother so that it was removed entirely from my house. Such a shame because I liked how the product sounded in principal! I hope my mother enjoys it!
So what are the best items this month? I really think the quality of the Treatbox UK original products are excellent and they are items that can be continually used and enjoyed and are also useful. The coaster will brighten your day, the journal is ready for whenever recipe inspiration strikes, and the rest of the items can be enjoyed over the course of the next four weeks. Keep checking my social media for individual item reviews. I will let you know how I get on with the mask!
Thank you very much for joining in for another Reveal and Review from Severn Sabrina!

So we are just over half way through the year now and it’s time for the July Treatbox UK Reveal and Review.
Thank you for joining me for this unboxing! It’s time to look at the products in this months box and for me to review them for you!
If you would prefer to watch my video then head to my Facebook or Instagram.
The July box features TB OR – Treatbox Original Products only available by ordering from Treatbox UK.
What’s Inside the July Treatbox UK?
July Calendar Print TB OR A6 Print “sunshine and happy days” Smiley Face Socks TB OR Greetings Cards – 2 Cards for Passing on the Sunshine Merci Hand Cream in Hello Sunshine scent 30ml Candy Kittens – Tropical Mango flavour 54g The Happy Newspaper by Emily Coxhead issue 26 Tea Pop Gourmet Tea – Caramel flavour (in my box but may vary)
My Honest Opinion of the July box
What a box of sunshine! When I opened up the Treatbox and I saw the theme was sunshine and happy vibes it was just what I needed to boost my week. We had socks again and I was really happy about that because I love the quality of the socks! They are soft and cute as usual with smiley faces on this time! And what I also loved was the fact that we can pass on the happiness and sunshine from our July box by sending the Treatbox UK cards on to someone we care about!
The Merci hand cream smells lovely like summer flowers on a sunny day, a light cream that melts into your hands and comes in a handbag size to boot! Perfect for use all year round! It made my skin feel very soft after I used it a couple of times.
The Candy Kittens sweets are Vegan, Palm Oil Free and are now Carbon Neutral too! You get 54g to enjoy of this treat with natural fruit flavours in Tropical Mango. Yum!
We have the Happy Newspaper which I haven’t read all of yet, but hearing about happy stories and inspiring people is always a good thing. It’s important that we focus on some of the good things happening in the world even when times are hard, because if you look hard enough there is always some good news to find somewhere.
I haven’t had the Tea Pop yet because we are having a heatwave in the UK right now and I cannot stand drinking a hot drink when I’m already feeling very warm. However I did have an idea for this which was… make up the tea – I had Caramel flavour – and then pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze it! Pop these Caramel flavoured ice cubes into Pepsi Max or Water and make it a new flavour! Seeing as the heatwave is set to continue for yet another week I will make room in my freezer and do this! I will post about it on my Instagram and let you know how I get on!
Finally there are the Print, Wrapping Paper and the Cards – Treatbox Original Products – all made with the theme of sunshine! July is meant to be the happy and sunny month of the year (if we’re lucky) and so far we seem to be having just that! May the sunshine continue! I look forward to passing the cards on to people when it is appropriate to use them, and using the paper to wrap a present for someone.
Here are some more photographs now of the products I got within this box.
Thank you for joining me as I have unboxed and reviewed this July subscription box today. Treatbox UK is currently the only monthly box I am subscribed to and the reason for that is due to consistently great content and products that I hold in high regard. Providing items that are Vegan, Carbon Neutral, Sustainable and Healthy are very important to me. I get a treat but I’m also not harming the planet in the process.
I wish you a lovely month of July 2022! Please stop by again soon for another Reveal and Review!
“Sticker Marketis an online custom sticker printing provider in the UK. We are a one-stop-shop for stickers, labels, postcards, business cards, magnets, swing tags and many more.”
This month I am collaborating with the UK business Sticker Market UK. I was approached by them due to my honest reviews and already having worked with many UK based businesses. Thank you for choosing and trusting me to give your business the shout out that it so definitely deserves.
I have been really looking forward to bringing you this blog post, I have had lots of fun designing, and then testing and photographing this particular unique product. As someone who likes to stay organised I am always using stickers, be it on my wall planner, journal, calendar, reward chart for my son (the list goes on), but to be able to design and have printed my very own sticker, now that was something I had never done before.
Sticker Market provides printing for your own custom designs and can print a wide range of sizes and shapes to suit your needs. I chose Circle stickers for my set, however Rectangle and Square are available too.
Sticker Market pride themselves on offering Cheap Personalised Sticker Printing in the UKand offer competitive prices. They also do Business Cards.
What Did I Design and Why?
I have designed my own personal Sticker so that I can easily organise my sons school items, water bottle, lunch box, snack box etc. It’s so much faster than writing out a label and sticking it on, it’s neater and far more legible too! Plus my son chose stars on my design so he knows that it is “his” sticker. I have also used them around my home for items that only my son uses such as his nature pot which houses all the rocks we find on walks and days out. As well as his lunch items I labelled his tray that we use for school paperwork every week.
Stickers are a fun and easy way to keep things organised and in this case so that people know what item belongs to whom etc. I chose to use this collaboration for my sons benefit, but during the product photography I found myself dreaming up all sorts of ways you could utilise this type of product.
So my final design reads “This belongs to Arlo” and my son chose stars as a symbol to make it his own.
When I realised I was able to design my own sticker it took me a few hours to consider that I was better off designing one to make my life easier. And that’s why I chose to make one to label all of my sons belongings that will be heading to school with him in September!
It took me a couple of hours to nail the design that I wanted, and then another hour to knock it out on my Photoshop software – bearing in mind I had to Google how to do a few things because I only ever use the basic editing tools for my photography like the brightness! – but making my own sticker was lots of fun!
I showed my son the final product and he read his name out loud before giving me the thumbs up. It was a simple yet effective design that I hoped he would soon learn was just for his items. After emailing it in and receiving the final proof from Sticker Market, I was very happy to go ahead and they got to printing. The whole start to finish was slick and I was well informed of the progress right up to when they shipped the box out to me.
Products in Use and Product Testing
Once the stickers were in my possession I found it really useful that they were cut individually, and not in sheets. This saves so much time and also storage space by having them in a neat little stack this way. Sheets take up so much more room I think (and yes I’m a parent with many sticker sheets and reward charts!). The Sticker is printed Bright and Bold and Sharp. My Sticker design looked just like it did on my screen from when I created it, I was very happy.
Now the time had come to get peeling and get sticking!
I gathered all of the items that I wanted to place stickers on to, and began to photograph them as well as test out the stickers durability by handling the items the stickers were attached to. I was impressed with how sticky they were on the variety of surfaces that I chose to use them on.
As you can see in my photography the Stickers I created stand out on a variety of different coloured surfaces and I was happy with their overall look. I chose my background colour so that it would stand out against many things. Knowing the lunch boxes were all blue, I didn’t want anything that would get lost against their vibrant colour. People need to bear these things in mind when designing their own stickers and think, what am I going to use them on. You might also consider whether or not you will need waterproof stickers and other aspects too.
My Overall Opinion
From start to finish this collaboration has been smooth and the customer service has been excellent. During the design process every question that I had was answered and my needs met. Delivery was fast and I was kept up to date with regards my stickers being printed and posted. I was also sent an email with a proof of what my sticker would be like which was an excellent feature. The quality of the Art Stickers that I chose are excellent, they are sharp and the colour is bold, the text is easy to read and the sticker itself is printed smoothly, there are no definitive lines from the printing process. I would definitely use Sticker Market UK in the future if I wanted any stickers printing.
As I mentioned earlier I was imagining lots of ways these Stickers could be utilised in daily life, so here are nine ways I have come up with, in which you could use Sticker Market products.
1. Weddings – Personalised Stickers for Wedding Favour Bags or Gifts or even sealing Invitations 2. Birthday Party – Design your own Stickers for a special birthday party or for Party Invitations 3. School – Whether you’re a teacher or a parent you could design a personalised set of stickers for your child/children or for saying “Great Work” to your class. 4. Keeping Belongings in Check – you might have several children with similar items, by designing their own stickers that they can attach to various items, nobody will argue again over what is there’s. 5. Holiday – Going on Holiday? It’s a good idea to mark up personal items and stickers are a fast way to do just that. 6. Small Business – Do you send out products as a small business? You could get business cards or seal packaging with your own unique stickers printed by Sticker Market UK. 7. Journals / Planners – You could design yourself a motivational sticker “You’ve Got This” and stick them where you need extra motivation to achieve, you can design many possible combinations. 8. Calendars – Need Stickers with peoples names on OR activities such as Swimming or Music Lesson, to save time writing it all out you could use stickers to keep track of your busy schedule. 9. Work Space – People in the office always stealing your stapler or holepunch? Not anymore because you can get your name put on some unique stickers and then put them on everything.
My Product Testing Ratings

How I Created This Review
I have been provided with a sample of Stickers in order to provide this Review. Product Testing and Honest Reviews are what I pride myself in giving my readers. Compared to other collaborations this blog post is slightly different, I was first asked to design the sticker that I wanted. That way it was more personal to me, as if I were an actual customer. So I did this, emailed it over and then this design was printed and sent out to me in order for me to test it. I got to keep the product (stickers) in exchange for this honest blog post and the product photography. The company outlined below contacted me directly for the purpose of this review.
Sticker Market, 8 St James’s Square, London, SW1Y 4JU.
Thank you for choosing to read Severn Wishes Blog today, I hope that you have found this review interesting and insightful. I certainly learned a lot more about the types of stickers that were available nowadays through exploring what Sticker Market UK had to offer.
I hope to see you again soon for my next product review, you never know what I might be asked to test next! How exciting!
As we reach half way through the year I cannot begin to wonder how fast the remainder of 2022 will go! So let us make the most of it and treat ourselves when it is within our means to do so!
What was inside the June 2022 Treatbox UK?
June 2022 Calendar Print Treatbox Original Planner and Monthly Notepad (2+ years worth of monthly pages) Watermelon Lip Balm 10ml Handbag Size Pot Flower & White ~ White Chocolate and Raspberry Crumble Bar 20g Vitamasques Nourish Multivitamin Metallic Sheet Mask 21ml Treatbox Original Gold Keyring with Quote “No Rain, No Flowers” Treatbox Print “be gentle with yourself, you’re doing the best you can” Heishi Bracelet with Gold Heart Centre (Colours at Random mine was Lilac)
My Honest Opinion for this Month
What a fabulous planner! I am all for staying on top of things like appointments and birthdays, I don’t like using my phone for everything these days as I’m trying to reduce my screen time. So using something like this Treatbox Original planner is right up my street! I love how colourful is is too!
I also really like the print this month, and the bracelet is stunning. It is lightweight and pretty against any skin tone, I received Lilac and Purple shades are some of my favourites so yay!
The Lip Balm is super summery and I have it on right now as I’m typing this out! It smells good too!
Love the fact that the Calendar Print and the Planner have the same design, colours are good!
I am looking forward to using the face mask this coming weekend on my down time self care hour and I am also going to enjoy munching the chocolate bar! White Choc and Raspberry is one of the best combinations out there, am I right?
Finally, a pretty keyring which I am going to stick on the opposite side of my handbag to the other keyring we got a few boxes ago!

Hello and Welcome to my Product Review today!
This Spring I became part of the UK Maybelline Team of Bloggers who Review products that are brand new out in the country. Maybelline New York is one of the leading brands worldwide for make up. I am grateful to have the chance to write reviews for them. Today I am reviewing the Fast Gel Nail Lacquer.
To see my other Maybelline Reviews after you’ve read this one, please click the Maybelline Category on the homepage of my blog.
I have been sent this sample for free for the purpose of providing a written review and photography across my social media platforms. I am always honest in my critique and review a product solely upon my own personal experience of using it.
Day Number One – Two Coats – One Hour After Application (Above)
Day Number Three – Minimal Chipping – Slight Loss of Shine (Below)
About this Product
Name: Maybelline New York Fast Gel Shade: No.8 Wicked Berry Size: 6.7 ml
Day Number Seven, Minimal Chipping on all but one Nail, still shiny as you can tell by the reflection on the nails (Above).
✩✩✩
My Overall Opinion of the Product
I have been impressed by the quality of this product overall, and the staying power was excellent. I tested this Nail Lacquer over 7 days, taking periodic photographs to watch the progress. I painted a clear gel base to my nails before applying the Fast Gel from Maybelline, but I chose not to paint a clear top coat on my nails for two reasons. One was so as to test this product without an additional layer and two was so that the colour and shine of the original product was in no way altered.
Overall Appearance in Use 4✩ Overall Product Quality 4✩ Colour Choices 5✩ Staying Power 5✩
The Fast Gel did lose its original heavy glossy shine by Day 7, but some shine still remained on them (see image above), and they certainly looked good from a distance. If you wanted perfect nails for a whole week for example then I feel this Gel Lacquer would definitely go the distance, providing it was applied correctly and if you also applied a top coat too. I chose not too, and I feel they would have lasted a week or longer intact if I had done the top coat and if I didn’t do any gardening (LOL) that is how my middle nail became so chipped.
✩✩✩
Thanks for reading my Product Review today, there are plenty more just like this across my blog, why not check out the categories because I review all sorts of things.
Have you heard of Qwertee? Qwertee T-Shirt Designs are fabulous and unique, a huge range of choices and sizes. The one thing though is that designs don’t stay available for long, so if you see one you like then you have to be fast!
You can check them out on social media or their website, you can also get the newsletter email every evening which tells you what the brand new 24 hour only Tee’s will be!
Qwertee bring out a brand new unique T-shirt design every 24 hours! Talented Artists and Design Students are just some of the many people who help to create the Qwertee t-shirts! You can even design one and submit it for review, if it gets passed the voting stage it could be made into a t-shirt!
I chose a Fox and Cherry Blossom T-shirt! Two things I love on the same shirt! I recently won a competition of theirs over on Twitter and I chose this as my prize. I found the overall quality to be excellent. I am a Size 6-8 so I chose the Small size tee and it fits me perfectly, but it is quite a snug fit. If you are between sizes right now, or you prefer them to be a little baggy then I would suggest buying the size up.
Here is a close up photograph of the details on the T-shirt. The colours are also vibrant.
Overall Appearance in Use 5✩ Overall Product Quality 5✩ Product Fit to Size 4✩ Unique Design 5✩ Delivery 5✩
Would I recommend Qwertee to my followers and friends? YES I would! They have T-shirts that are good quality and unique in the marketplace, and they ship all over the planet so you can buy them from wherever you’re reading this from! They also make great gifts for people as well providing you know their sizes!Would I buy from Qwertee? Yes I would!
