Sihaya and Company Autumn Box: Sisterhood of the Moon

 

Sihaya & Company is run by Christina Allen Page of Sihaya Designs (Have you seen her jewelry? Seriously, it’s stunning. I’ve had my eye on it for ages but have yet to purchase.) The first box was this past Spring, Soft Awakening.

Four times a year with the changing of the seasons a limited number of boxes will be available to purchase. They will be themed and filled with exclusive or limited edition products.  Offerings can included Sihaya Designs candles or jewelry, small batch bath and body products, perfume and other treats.  Each box will contain either full or half sized products.  Each box won’t contain more than one of each specific type of product and everyone will receive the same products.

Currently the box is available to ship within the United States, as well as Canada, the UK and Australia.  You can contact Sihaya and Company at SihayaAndCompany@gmail.com if you are in a different country and are interested in purchasing.

 

I have to say this box is gorgeous.  It was well curated and I’m so happy to see the wide variety that includes some “and more” of the indie world.  If you want to see photos and little comments on the products that I had as I unboxed this earlier tonight keep on scrolling.  It is very photo heavy!

• A delightfully spooky enamel pin by Cat Coven.
• An exclusive 3g mini highlighter by Corvus Cosmetics. (They are on temporary Hiatus)
• A small package of skull-shaped sugar cubes by Dem Bones.
• An exclusive 1 oz specialty tea by Dryad Tea presented in a blue jar.
• An 8 oz candle by Sihaya & Company. Sisterhood of the Moon: Amber, crackling fires, woody oakmoss, and warm vanilla.
• An exclusive 6ml perfume by Sixteen92. Liber Officiorum Spirituum: Ancient parchment, leather bindings, smoldering resins, frankincense tears, ritual candles, black fire, soot, steel, dust and smoke.
• A beautifully-presented short story by Rhysling-nominated author, Shveta Thakrar.
• A wonderfully witchy full size black soap by Villainess Soaps. Autumn Armour: a protection spell in a bar of soap.

The scroll that this short story is presented on is absolutely stunning.  I so look forward to finding a place on my wall for this.  It is well crafted and I can’t wait to read it.

I’ve always wanted something from Cat Coven! I love their t-shirts on Etsy.

These are so cute! I actually had to google if these were actually sugar cubes, as in edible, or something for the bath.  They are edible! I’d say I’d put it in coffee but I’d be lying.  I think I’m just going to eat them.

I adore Villainess soaps! Her recently collaborations with Arcana have been some of my favorite things this year.  They are moisturizing, well-scented and they don’t leave that weird bar soap feeling on your skin.

I was excited to see tea as an offering in this box. I love trying new teas and this one smells such wonderfully fall.  The mulled spices are very prominent and just make me thing of cuddling under a blanket in the winter chill.

I’m a huge fan of Corvus.  I think she has a wonderful formula and well thought out collections.  Her most recent highlighter collection was to die for.  I took a few photos of swatches both applied with my finger and blended out with my finger.

Liber Officiorum Spirituum: Ancient parchment, leather bindings, smoldering resins, frankincense tears, ritual candles, black fire, soot, steel, dust and smoke.

I love love love Sixteen92, honestly I do, they are in my top 5 favorite indie perfumers.  Claire’s scents last all day on me and are always strong enough for my personal taste. One of her most recent from the Anniversary Collection Cocktail Party is stunning.  Absolutely one of my favorites.

A quick review, in bottle it is quite smoky and dusty at first with a slight metal twinge. While still wet on my skin it is a little more incense and like old church witchy vibes.  Dried down now and a few hours later it is warm and resinous with just a touch of frankincense. It is overall really pleasant.  It totally suits Halloween and this Autumn box.

NOW! You’ve made it this far.  Onto the candles, one of which is from this box and two others that were released as part of this Fall collection.  All of which, smell amazing! I’ll come back and edit this space with burn time and other thoughts on the candles once I use them.

Sisterhood of the Moon: Amber, crackling fires, woody oakmoss, and warm vanilla. It smells wonderful and the glittery tops are so pretty.  These are nice sized candles as well!

The scent of good witches everywhere: pumpkin cupcakes with buttercream frosting, and a single candy corn on top!  I think this one is my favorite.  It is sweet, warm, and it makes me hungry!!

Samhain Dusk Candle. Dry amber, cassia, clove, the smoke of distant bonfires, and the faintest breath of orange peel

I have to say, I would buy another of these boxes in a heartbeat.  I’m so impressed and I’m glad I spent the 65$ on this.  I absolutely think it is worth it.

Did you get this box? What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
