TOYL The Ultimate Colour Correct Box

This months TOYL box is going to take some beating, I’m just putting it out there before I share the contents of this box. Called The Ultimate Colour Correct Box, it is a great little Easter offering.
Inside the box you will find four products and two treats and with brands such as Oskia, Stila and Indeed Labs all in one box.
As we get older there is no question that our skin tone gets more uneven. I’ve had mine properly looked at and the redness in my cheeks was terrible. Couple that with the under eye dark circles and it wasn’t a great base to move into Spring with which is why a colour correct step is just so important and this month, we have the ultimate!
So if redness, pigmentation, dark circles, dull skin or age spots are bothering you, then this is the box you need and here is what you will find:

STILA ONE STEP CORRECT IN ORIGINAL (30ML - RRP £28.00)
Quite the iconic Stila product, it features an innovative triple-swirled helix serum which has been designed to instantly colour correct, brighten, primes and nourish the skin which in turns, helps to improve tone, even out your complexion and smooth lines and wrinkles!
TOYL The Ultimate Colour Correct Box
It contains 3 colour-correcting pigments to even out complexion:
  • Green tone instantly neutralises redness and conceals blemishes
  • Lavender tone counteracts sallow undertones for a vibrant, energised look
  • Peach tone brightens, illuminates and helps diminish the appearance of sun spots
Supercharged with Stila's proprietary Youth Revival Bio-Available Mineral Complex™ to help hydrate, control oil, and diminish the appearance of pores and fine lines.  I have never tried this until recently and I don't know why because I've been wearing it on its own for the past few days and love how it leaves my skin looking.  Once I have tried it for a lot longer, I will share some further thoughts.

INDEED LABS NO ACID PADS (30 PADS - RRP £19.99)
IndeedLabs has been described by many as being one of the most feted beauty disruptors in recent years, creating some incredible products at really affordable prices. In this month's TOYL Box, the No Acid pads are designed to brighten the appearance of your complexion before applying serum.
TOYL The Ultimate Colour Correct Box
Enriched with active Probiotics, alongside the likes of Japanese Cedar Buds and Yarrow, allow the formula to cleanse and buff away dead skin, while at the same time being nourishing and replenishing.

OSKIA SUPER-C SMART NUTRIENT BEAUTY CAPSULES (7 X 0.28ml / RRP £11.00)
Remember how in February we talked about how Vitamin C needs to be ‘fresh” and not in contact with air? We’ll that’s why Oskia have made it in these capsules, so when you open to use it, it is as fresh as possible. It also smells of oranges too! 
TOYL The Ultimate Colour Correct Box
These are a morning serum for me, so use after cleansing and the Indeed Lab Pad – then you are optimally primed for brighter skin!

Then finally we have another product from Oskia with the Isotonic Hydra-Serum (30ml rrp £64).  Described as being one of the best serums to retain moisture in your skin and even though it is incredibly lightweight on the skin, it features Oskia's Biomimetic Hydra-Complex of 16 synergistic actives to boost, protect and balance hydration for long-term comfort and a dewy complexion. You will also find encapsulated glacier water, glycerin, hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid as well as pro-vitamin B5 and oat ceramides which work to support your skin's mantle and barrier function.  
TOYL The Ultimate Colour Correct Box
Putting together these incredible ingredients, you have a serum which works to diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles, ease the signs of dry, dehydrated skin and encourage beautifully plump, hydrated skin.

As mentioned there is two treats within this box and if you follow my Instagram stories, you will have seen there was an Lindt Bunny which I have eaten and then there is the Dr Seaweeds Weed and Wonderful Seaweed Iodine Supplement (£12.95). 
TOYL The Ultimate Colour Correct Box
These capsules are described as being an easy way to ensure that you're getting enough iodine. Perfect for supplementing diets that are low in fish or dairy, such as vegan diets, these capsules contain seaweed sourced from the Scottish Outer Hebrides, where it is dried, milled and put into one-a-day capsules for a convenient and easy way to benefit from its pure sea goodness. 

Each month the box, which has a new price of £39.99, will feature both full-sized and luxury travel sized items, if ever there is a sachet, that is not counted towards to total cost of the products inside, it is just an extra treat. This box is worth £122.00 and is on offer for just £39.99 inc FREE P&P but if you use the code BQUK, you will get £5 off your first box!

Fresh Floral Recovery Calming Mask

I was kindly gifted the Fresh Floral Recovery Calming Mask to test and try for a month to see what a difference it made to my skin and I loved it so much, this is my second pot.  As a brand, Fresh is one I am fairly familiar with having used both the cult Soy Cleanser and the Lotus Youth Preserve Rescue Mask and I feel it is one I now want to try every single product from because I have only ever had a positive experience.
Fresh Floral Recovery Calming Mask
Described as being an overnight face mask that is clinically proven to calm signs of sensitivity—such as redness, uneven tone, and rough texture—for an even toned complexion, after having Covid, my skin really wasn’t happy, it had gone from being my usual combination oily to really dehydrated and sore to the touch in parts and just felt really uncomfortable. So armed with serums, oils and anything I could find, this mask just slotted into my routine with ease.

I’m already a fan of what I call ‘lazy skincare’ and that is anything I can use to work its magic as I sleep - usually in the form of a serum, mask or cream. The first thing I do when I get home from work is remove the day, which is a reference to anything and everything which is lurking on my skin - double cleanse always, maybe exfoliate if it’s the day I would usually perform this action. 
Fresh Floral Recovery Calming Mask
This dermatologist-tested overnight face mask, which is designed to cocoon your skin as you sleep, is powered by floral extracts which work to calm and reduce the look of redness on sensitive skin as well as to target uneven skin tone, roughness and even inflammation. As the name suggests, the floral extracts such as passionflower oil and cornflower water come together to work to calm and sooth, then there is cherry blossom and peony which combine forces to even skin texture and smooth. Added to the flower extracts is vitamin C and squalane which work to brighten and smooth the skin, all whilst you sleep.

On the skin, this mask, which is not as thick a cream as I was expecting it to be, does apply with minimal effort and ease, though I use a a brush to apply mine. Once on the skin, it does absorb without leaving a greasy feeling on the skin, but as soon as you are happy with the layer of mask on the skin, you simply leave it overnight and then the following morning, ive always found my skin to feel soft, smooth and really hydrated.
Fresh Floral Recovery Calming Mask
With the tackling of redness, whilst I do often suffer with flare-ups, what I've found is that this mask works best for me as a calming treatment, especially if my skin has reacted to a product, it immediately soothes and calms down any redness.

A 100ml pot of this Fresh Floral Recovery Calming Mask is priced at £59 and it is very much worth its price, whether you are looking for an overnight mask, something to calm the redness or as a treat, for me, it has ticked every single box.
