TOYL, or Time Of Your Life is a beauty box subscription service that should get a lot more praise than it does! It has been designed and created specifically for women over 40 who want beauty confidence from the products they buy and every single month without I have raved about this box, not just on my blog but to friends and family - many of whom are subscribers. This month's edition takes in the fact that onOctober 18th, it is World Menopause day and it gives a nod to the many who are affected by the symptoms, whether they are going through the menopause or not.
So choosing products that are brilliant for us at any time, they could also help with any menopause symptoms you have. So this month's box, which is worth £197.10 and it is on sale for just £39.99 but... if you use the code BQUK then it saves you £5 off that first box.
The first product out of the box is the best Dry Shampoo you will ever try! From Living Proof is Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo (92ml - RRP £12.00).
This Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo is powered by the patented Healthy Hair Molecule known as ofpma, which is said to be a superior way to care for hair without silicone. Instead, this molecule creates a weightless, invisible shield over each hair strand so your hair stays cleaner for longer and it also helps to eliminates frizz by blocking humidity, it polishes and protects hair strands and finally smooths the hair without weighing it down.
The second product comes from Gatineau with their Hydra Aura Eclat de Soie (75ml - RRP £49.00).
Described as being a water fresh gel, it used ingredients such as Barbary Fig flow extract, Shea Butter and Seaweed Actives which not only promote lasting hydration for the skin but also works to leave it soft, glowing and silky smooth. There are three different ways in which this product can be used. Firstly as your daily moisturiser, secondly as a booster for your face, which you can layer it over your serum or under your chosen moisturiser or finally as a booster for your neck and decollete which you again layer over your chosen neck product.
The third product within this box is the one which intrigues me the most! The 111Skin Intensive Beauty Dose (90 capsules RRP £125).
Daily skincare supplements that help support a healthy-looking complexion, they are Enriched with potent antioxidants, the 111SKIN Intensive Beauty Dose Supplements are designed to help nourish skin from the inside out and support your topical skincare routine. Each one of the capsules are filled with a botanical array of ingredients. Vitamin C, liquorice root extract and Sicilian blood orange fruit extract deliver nutrients to promote nourished and balanced-looking skin. I am really looking forward to giving these a try!
The final product in this box comes from Origins and it is their High-Potency Night-A-Mins.
Described as being an Oil-Free Resurfacing Cream with Fruit-Derived AHAs. This cream works as a moisturiser that doubles as a powerful sleeping peel to hydrate and revitalise, and at the same time, it gives you a perfectly looking glow. Using Fruit and Plant-derived AHAs such as Grapes and Sugar Beets, there are also time-released resurfacers, plus Vitamins C, E & H. These work alongside minerals and moisture-rich replenishers. Then at the same time, there is in the inclusion of soothing essential oils such as Neroli, Valerian and Vanilla help lull you to sleep and as you sleep, those dry dead layers of skin are sloughed off so you wake up radiant and refreshed.
If this box wasn't incredible enough, inside you will find a further two products inside this box - A mini Erborian Red Pepper Pulp and a Nurturtint Hair Food Quinoa Hair Mask.
The Erborian Red Pepper Pulp is designed to transform dull, lacklustre complexions with a renewed lit-from-within glow. It uses Korean super-ingredient: ‘Capsicum Annuum’ or Red Pepper extract which is jam-packed with antioxidants, it works alongside hydrating Niacinamide and Liquorice Root extract. The gel-crème texture melts on the skin, unleashing a cooling sensation that calms and soothes. Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerin flood the skin with vital moisture, instantly preventing dehydration and helping skin to maintain its natural hydration.
