TOYL Give and Receive November Edition

The November edition of the TOYL Box has arrived and it is once again, an incredible box, which I pretty much say every single month.  TOYL, or Time Of Your Life is a beauty box subscription service that has been created specifically for women over 40 who want beauty confidence from the products they buy.  This month, the box is titled 'Give and Receive'.
TOYL Give and Receive November Edition
Inside this month's box, which is worth £130.99, features five products from some amazing brands and the idea with this box is that you keep two of the products and, if you feel generous, give the other three products to friends, family or whoever you wish.

First out of the box comes from the fabulous Murad, a brand I am a huge fan of. The product in question is the Targeted Wrinkle Corrector.
TOYL Give and Receive November Edition
Described as working like an instant filler, it uses bioavailable hyaluronic acid which floods those wrinkles and fine lines with hydration to plump, smooth and reduce wrinkle intensity.  There is also the inclusion of elasticity-boosting hexapeptide which helps the skin to bounce back from lines triggered by facial expressions, plus there is the plant-derived squalane which prevents moisture loss, so it helps the skin resist future wrinkles.  One of the few Murad products I haven't tried and I cannot wait to report back on how amazing it is!

The second product comes from The Organic Pharmacy and it is the Hyaluronic Acid Serum.
TOYL Give and Receive November Edition
As the warmer weather turns colder, I am sure mine isn't the only skin which really reacts in those first few weeks by feeling drier than usual, so I am all about the serums and oils.  This serum is really lightweight on the skin and is non-sticky. Made from 95.8% organic ingredients and uses ingredients that keep your complexion hydrated and glowing. So by using the benefits of triple molecular weight 0.2% Hyaluronic Acid, this formula works to plump the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while at the same time, working to ensure the skin maintains appropriate moisture levels.

The third product comes from Aromatherapy Associates and it happens to be one of my favourite products, the Revive Bath and Shower Oil.
TOYL Give and Receive November Edition
This oil blend is just joy in a bottle and is perfect for this time of year. With its blend of Grapefruit oil, Rosemary and Juniper, you have a complete mood uplift in a bottle. I always apply these oils to my skin before bathing or showering, taking the time to let those oils work their magic not only on my skin, but on my senses. You can also use it on the skin once you have stepped out of the shower and, if you are planning on having a chilling weekend with a book or a film, then it is magical.

The next product that is in this box comes from Percy and Reed we have the Shine and Fragrance Spray.
TOYL Give and Receive November Edition
Designed for all hair types, this hair perfume and glossing mist has a lightweight formula which delivers particle shine, giving instant luminosity to the hair. This spray is infused with a bespoke fine fragrance from the notes of rhubarb, rose, peony and honey which come together and leaves your hair smelling beautifully fresh and floral. It also has UV Protection to protect the hair from damaging UV rays to keep colour bright and glossy.

Then we have the final product in this month's box and it comes from Bondi Sands and it is their Gradual Tanning Milk.
TOYL Give and Receive November Edition
I am definitely not a fan of fake tan, but there are times when I will give a gradual tan product a try.  Described as being a radiance-boosting tanning milk that delivers an illuminating, sun-kissed glow. With its innovative, dual-action formula, it uses the blends of both aloe vera and vitamin E to help nourish and hydrate skin which gives a streak free, natural looking finish which is said to be perfect for everyday use with a delicious cocoa butter scent.

Once again, the theme of this box is amazing and every single one of the contents works with that theme. All of these amazing brands and their products and the box is priced at just £39.99, though it is worth an incredible £130.99 it also includes free P&P and if you use the code BQUK, you will get £5 off your first box!
