TOYL The 2021 Beauty Awards Box

I’ve raved about the Time Of Your Life (TOYL) beauty boxes in every post I have shared so far, the reason being is that they are just such good value for money and I’m yet to find a concept I dislike.
TOYL The 2021 Beauty Awards Box
This months box is titled The 2021 TOYL Beauty Awards Box and it is one bumper package which features 11 products. These products have been chosen by Karen, the founder of TOYL because she believes they very much represent the best for women over the age of 40. Better still, this box is worth over £170 and it can be yours for just £35, read on to find out how!

The first product out of the box comes from one of my favourite brands - Emma Hardie with the product Protect and Prime SPF30. The category for this win is Best Retail Skincare for Women over 40.
TOYL The 2021 Beauty Awards Box
Protect and Prime is a lightweight, non-greasy skin protecting and priming cream with an SPF30. Once applied, it doesn't feel gloopy, it isn't thick and it doesn't leave white residue once applied. Packed full of amazing ingredients such as Mongongo Oil, Oat Extract and Vitamin E together they work to protect and guard the skin against premature ageing, sun damage and environmental exposure. It also has a unique light-diffusing formulation to prime the skin and even out the complexion as well as helping to blur the appearance of fine lines and pores.

The second product is the Winner of the Best Bath and Body Brand category with Molton Brown.
TOYL The 2021 Beauty Awards Box
The product on my box is the Fiery Pink Pepper Bath and Shower gel, one of Molton Brown’s iconic body washes, with its spicy pink pepper, vibrant ginger and rich patchouli which creates the most wonderful scent.

The third product is the Winner of the Best Tanning Range for Women over 40 and that is James Read with the Click and Glow Gel Drops.
TOYL The 2021 Beauty Awards Box
This innovative device, which looks like a pen, is designed to be the ultimate on-the-go self-tanner with added Vitamin C. To use, you add the gel drops to your favourite moisturiser, SPF or foundation to give you a flawless bronzed finish.

Winning the Best Retail Face Suncare for women over 40 is Ultrasun. A brand I am just getting to know for another post on my blog.
TOYL The 2021 Beauty Awards Box
The Ultrasun Anti-Ageing SPF 30, is an oil free hard working, lightweight sun cream that works as a moisturiser and primer as well as a sun cream and ant-ageing product. Said to be packed with ingredients to keep UVA/UVB off out skin and protect from blue light.

When it comes to beauty tools, the winner of the Best Beauty Tool for women over 40 comes from a brand known as Laruce.
TOYL The 2021 Beauty Awards Box
This is a non-U.K. brand but the brushes are described as being some of the very best on the market - they’re vegan, hypoallergenic and cruelty-free. Within this box is two of the brands brushes - a Tapered Blending brush and a Fluff brush, both brushes have easy to grip handles and are quite weighty to hold.

The winner of the Best Packaging Innovation comes from a brand called Oryza with their Dewy Glow Skin Beauty Balm.
TOYL The 2021 Beauty Awards Box
Described as being an all-purpose skin and lip balm with UVA and UVB filters for sun protection, it is moisturising, anti-inflammatory, protective and soothing for all skin types. But it didn’t win for its formula, it’s the packaging and that is because it is made from more plastic which has been reclaimed from the ocean than any other time - making it quite innovative.

OPI wins the Best Nail Brand award for women over 40 and with the product Natural Nail Base Coat.
TOYL The 2021 Beauty Awards Box
As a brand, OPI has some of my favourite shades (Lincoln Park after Dark) but this product is described as being a mani/pedi must have. It creates a protective layer on nails and helps to prevent stains from darker shades. This base coat also grips your chosen nail polish for a longer-lasting, chip resistant manicure.

I love a good innovative product and within this TOYL Beauty Awards Box is a product which has been flown in from the USA - SiO.
TOYL The 2021 Beauty Awards Box
TOYL The 2021 Beauty Awards Box
SiO Eye & Smile patches are made of medical grade silicone and they are described as comfortably hugging your skin and as it does so, gently compresses it to stay flat and smooth. This doctor-recommended eye and laugh line treatment not only intensifies hydration, it also supports the skin’s ability to retain moisture, minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes or the lips!

The winner of the Best Professional Skincare for Women over 40 is the renowned French brand Gatineau, a brand I have used many times.
TOYL The 2021 Beauty Awards Box
The product within this box is the Thérapie Pureté Cleansing Milk. The entire Thérapie Pureté range is said to harness the Mineralised Seawater from a French Island in the Bay of Biscay as its main ingredient. This water is especially rich in ingredients such as Manganese, Zinc, Iron and Lithium which increase the production of Collagen, provide anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant protection and increase radiance and luminosity. This luxurious Milk Cleanser removes make-up and impurities from the skin while providing essential hydration and luminosity, perfect for use in the morning or in the evening as part of a double cleanse.

Jane Scrivner is the next brand to be featured and that is because they win the Best Organic Skincare for women over 40.
TOYL The 2021 Beauty Awards Box
The Overnight Recharge Balm by Jane Scrivner has been formulated to help hydrate, calm and revive the look of your skin overnight so you wake up to a more balanced, soothed and radiant complexion. Said to be perfect for those who want to tackle dullness. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive.

The final product within this 2021 Beauty Awards Winning Box is the winner of the Best Makeup Brand for women over 40 - CodeBeautiful.
TOYL The 2021 Beauty Awards Box
The product in his box is called FFL - Forget Fake Lashes and it is described as being an instant lash lengthening product which not only lengthens but also enhances all eye lashes.

As you can see, this is a brilliant concept for a beauty box and I love everything about it from the theme and the reasoning for each product category to the products chosen. There is 8 products in this box I have not used before and this excites me.  This box gives an incredible 11 products from some really interesting and intriguing brands. 

TOYL is a subscription box and it costs just £35 a month, but, unlike other subscription boxes I’ve tried, you always have the option to pause your subscription and pick it up again when you are ready.

TOYL SUPER SUMMER LEGS AND PEDI BOX - July 2021

This months Time of Your Life, or TOYL box has a very good theme which I am not sure ive ever seen a beauty box do before - welcome to the Super Summer Legs and Pedi Box. TOYL is a beauty box that I have been lucky enough to feature monthly for a while now and once again, I love the theme. Once again, these products have been chosen by Karen, the founder of TOYL, because she believes they very much represent the best for women over the age of 40 and believes they are better suited to those needs. Once again, this box is worth over £104 and it can be yours for just £35, read on to find out how!
TOYL SUPER SUMMER LEGS AND PEDI BOX - July 2021
The Super Summer Legs and Pedi Box is all about exploring some of the most incredible products that are available for our legs and feet. Say goodbye to those Lizard shins and hard soles with these products.

The first product out of the box comes from a brand I am loving getting to know and that is Margaret Dabbs with the Firming Leg Serum (200ml - RRP £45.00)
TOYL SUPER SUMMER LEGS AND PEDI BOX - July 2021
Described as being a miracle product, it is formulated with what is referred to as the innovative Legance™ and V Tonic complex allowing this serum to act as an invisible support stocking, helping to stimulate circulation and reduce the appearance of cellulite. It is also clinically proven to reduce water retention and it can be used every day in place of body lotion to promote firmer, toned legs.

The next product comes from Leighton Denny with his Smooth Your Sole Foot File (RRP £6.00) a product everybody needs to have in their stash.
TOYL SUPER SUMMER LEGS AND PEDI BOX - July 2021
Described as being a whizz at removing dry, dead skin from feet. This is a professional quality, double sided foot file for fast removal of calluses and thickened areas of dry skin on the feet to leave your soles feeling soft, smooth and perfect for those sandals!

Sticking with the feet for the next product, we have Dermatonics Heel Balm with Manuka Honey (60ml / RRP £5.99). This is a brand I haven't come across until now
TOYL SUPER SUMMER LEGS AND PEDI BOX - July 2021
Designed for very dry skin on the feet, this cream uses New Zealand Manuka Honey which hydrates and draws moisture into your skin with the end result being soft smooth skin. I have never tried this product before, but I did do a quick search to find it gets rave reviews everywhere it is featured!

When you've finally got your trotters looking much more delightful, there is one task left to complete and that is applying nail polish.  The product in this box comes from Kure Bazaar with the shade Fabulous (10ml / RRP £15.00) 
TOYL SUPER SUMMER LEGS AND PEDI BOX - July 2021
Fabulous is said to be the UK Press's top colour pick for summer 2021 and as a brand, Kure is described as being non-toxic and has a list of 10 ingredient "nasties" that it bans from it's formulas plus it's made in France.  Added to that, it is also made from 85% natural ingredients. So definitely ticks a lot of boxes.

Now the feet are looking as fabulous as they possibly can, it is time to move away from them (thank god) and the next product out of the box is the Gatineau's Exfoliating Mitt (RRP £12.99).
TOYL SUPER SUMMER LEGS AND PEDI BOX - July 2021
Described as being the exact tool for smoothing shins and removing dead skin, this double-sided Body Buffing Mitt not only works to gently exfoliate the skin it also helps to remove impurities and dead skins cells. For those of us who suffer with lizard legs or scaly shins, this mitt is perfect for helping to deal with that because the mitt itself, whilst it isn't too harsh on the skin, does, with a little bit of pressure make short work of that scaly skin. 

Next up we have the Urban Veda Revitalising Body Lotion (250ml / RRP £12.99). I have used quite a few products from Urban Veda over the years, so am glad to see it in this box.
TOYL SUPER SUMMER LEGS AND PEDI BOX - July 2021
This Lotion is described as being a light, deeply moisturising body lotion which is perfect for summer legs. Rose infused and smelling just delightful, this Revitalising Body Lotion is packed full of omega-rich bio oils and organic nutrient-rich flower waters meaning tired skin is deeply hydrated and softened giving it a new lease of life.

The final product within the box could be one of two options from Bioderma and their expert suncare range, you will either get the Bioderma Photoderm Max SPF50+ Sun Mist (150ml/ RRP £17.50 ) or the soothe after sun with Bioderma's Photoderm Refreshing After Sun Milk (100ml / RRP £7.90).
TOYL SUPER SUMMER LEGS AND PEDI BOX - July 2021
I got the Refreshing After Sun Milk which is said to be ideal for use on all skin types, including those who have sensitive skin. This rehydrating after sun milk is fortified with emollient and soothing agents, allantoin and ginkgo biloba which together help to calm the feeling of overheating to the skin. Then we have Glycerine and shea unsaponifiables which ensure the skin is rehydrated and replenished, this in turn prevents dryness that can be caused by sun exposure. Exclusive patented Cellular Bioprotection complex effectively shields the skin against the risks of cell damage.

So with a box that helps you create a bit of TLC for the legs, a full on pedicure for your trotters and there is also a bit of body care included just to ensure that your legs look amazing in shorts, skirts or swimwear this summer! 

This box is worth £104.88 and could be yours for just £35.  If you didn't know, TOYL is a monthly subscription box and it costs just £35 a month, but, unlike other subscription boxes I’ve tried, you always have the option to pause your subscription and pick it up again when you are ready. So if there is a box you don't feel is right for you, you can hold that subscription and continue when you spot something you love, which in my case has been every month so far!

TOYL Show Stopper Box - December Edition

Having had the Makeover box for November, the December edition of the TOYL beauty box is titled 'The Show Stopper' and it has been curated by Karen to uplift the spirits and help you look and feel fabulous.  Inside the box you will find five products which includes skincare, hair care and fragrance.
TOYL Show Stopper Box - December Edition
The first product to come out of this box is from one of my favourite fragrance brands, Floral Street and the scent inside this box is Iris Godess.
TOYL Show Stopper Box - December Edition
TOYL Show Stopper Box - December Edition
Sitting within the Chypre family, Iris Godess is a vegan an unisex scent which comes packaged within recyclable packaging. I have always found these boxes to be so good for storage or for planting seeds in to germinate.  The scent, which is described as powdery soft has notes of violets and ripe red fruits. Black vanilla and earthy carrot seed carry an exotic depth, while sparkling lemon zest and red chilli pepper. It is just delightful for every day wear.

The second product out of the box is from Rodial and it is their Neck Mask Freeze and Smooth.
TOYL Show Stopper Box - December Edition
Designed to give you a bit of boost around the neck, the mask uses amino acids and wheat proteins which help to tense and tighten the skin to give that visibly lifted appearance.

The third product in this box comes from Prai Beauty and it is their MenoGlow Hot Flush Cool Fix Serum.
TOYL Show Stopper Box - December Edition
Designed to deliver cooling skincare, this refreshing rollerball gel is said to work double-duty to instantly cool hot, flushed skin whilst at the same time, work to reduce signs of ageing caused by dramatic collagen loss around the time of menopause. Using Hyaluronic Acid to plump the skin, Prai's signature M Complex to maximise collagen and boost hydration and finally cooling menthol provides an ice-cool sensation to relieve hot flushes with help from our cool touch rollerball applicator. I really like the rollerball applicator, it is refreshing on the skin when used, even though I am not menopausal, I do suffer from headaches and having run out of my usual forehead balm, I reached for this and it is just delightful.

From Percy & Reed the next product is the Wonder Balm Hair Primer and this is an award-winning product which is described as being one which elevates at home-styling to salon standard.
TOYL Show Stopper Box - December Edition
This is a smooth, lightweight leave-in primer which works to shield your hair from the damage caused by heat styling and blow-drying which in turn lessens the look of split ends and breakage. The fast-absorbing formula helps to lock in moisture for long-lasting softness and it is said to be ideal for people that are prone to frizz from humidity, as the hair primer offers light hold and control.

The final product within this months box is from Gatineau and it is the Exfoliating Body Polish.
TOYL Show Stopper Box - December Edition
This body polish works to target uneven skin texture on dry, parched skin by helping to gently slough away dead skin cells. It is enriched with AHA's from citric acid, plus there is the inclusion of blackcurrant fruit powder, shea butter, coconut oil, sunflower seed oil and jojoba seed oil, all of which reveal a much smoother, softer skin.

I like the theme of this box, not only does it feature some really handy products that I have already been using, but I am glad to see my Floral Street getting their chance to shine. The contents are worth £108.50 and could be yours for just £30*. If you didn't know, TOYL is a monthly subscription box and it usually costs just £35 a month (£30 using my code below) but, unlike other subscription boxes I’ve tried, you always have the option to pause your subscription and pick it up again when you are ready. So if there is a box you don't feel is right for you, you can hold that subscription and continue when you spot something you love, which in my case has been every month so far!

TOYL Super Serum September Beauty Box

This months edition of the Time Of Your Life (TOYL) Beauty Box is all serums and the role they play within your skincare routine and their importance. For a very long time now, I have used serums as part of my routine, as well as keeping your skin hydrated and moisturised they can have a whole host of other benefits such as treating discolouration, dullness, fine lines, or in some cases acne.
TOYL Super Serum September Beauty Box
Serums can be expensive and this months beauty box from TOYL contains two of the most expensive serums on the market alongside three other products to test and try alongside your serums!  Once again, this box is worth an incredible £149.95 and it is on sale for just £35 or £30 if you use the code BQUK!

The first product out of the box comes from BioEffect with their EGF Serum and just 5ml is priced at £50! 
TOYL Super Serum September Beauty Box
Described as being a ground-breaking anti-ageing treatment that delivers significant, visibly noticeable results. This serum utilises a plant-based replica of EGF (a naturally occurring human protein) and it works to effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and the appearance of pores while at the same time improving radiance. It absorbs incredible quickly into skin without being sticky or tacky and it is incredibly moisturising as it works to restore and rehydrate the skin as well as to diminish the look of sun damage and dry spots. 

The second serum within this box comes from Rodial with their Bee Venom Super Serum, which is £60 for just 10ml.
TOYL Super Serum September Beauty Box
This serum is said to use only the most powerful anti-ageing properties and ingredients do include bee venom whose job it is to reduce expression lines and decrease muscle contractions, bio marine collagen 6 which works to promote the skin’s elasticity, and something called marimoist which helps with long-lasting hydration. Further ingredients include P-cell which provides a lifting effect by increasing the skin’s elasticity and firming up its tone, while at the same time sodium hyaluronate acts to instantly plump fine lines and wrinkles. Putting all of these ingredients together, it is said the Rodial Bee Venom Super Serum perfects, illuminates and revitalises the skin.

So those are the two serums which are featured within this box and they are definitely pricey but I am really enjoying the BioEffect EGF Serum! The final three products within the box help to get the best out of your skincare, especially serums.

Starting with Magnitone Wipe Out Supernaturals 100% Bamboo Cleansing Cloth.
TOYL Super Serum September Beauty Box
The 100% natural Bamboo Fibre cloths are designed to remove makeup, skincare and SPf with just long-wear makeup with just warm water. These cleansing cloths feature a microfibre finish that expands when wet to trap makeup particles. They are a great Eco-friendly alternative to disposable makeup wipes and these WipeOut cloths are not only machine washable but are reusable up to 1000 times.

The next product is from Gatineau with their Contouring Facial Roller.
TOYL Super Serum September Beauty Box
This facial roller from Gatineau not only helps to boost circulation but also to drain toxins and reduce the look of puffiness, thanks to the cool touch of the rolling system. Designed to be used after the application of skincare and is perfect for use across the temples, the nose, cheeks, the jawline and also from the ear to the jawline.

The final item within this months box is from a brand I’ve never come across before called Sensory Retreat with the Dreamy Self-Heating Eye Mask.
TOYL Super Serum September Beauty Box
These masks are designed to help you switch off, relax and completely unwind with its soothing and calming jasmine scent. Spending more and more time in front of screens - iPad, Laptop, Desktop, Kindle and even phone screens can leave your eyes feeling fatigued and in need of some TLC and these masks are perfect for just that.

This box is worth £149.95 and could be yours for just £30*.  If you didn't know, TOYL is a monthly subscription box and it usually costs just £35 a month (£30 using my code below) but, unlike other subscription boxes I’ve tried, you always have the option to pause your subscription and pick it up again when you are ready. So if there is a box you don't feel is right for you, you can hold that subscription and continue when you spot something you love, which in my case has been every month so far!

TOYL It's Makeover Time November Beauty Box

The November edition of the TOYL Beauty Box has arrived and this month it is aptly titled 'It's Makeover Time'. Over the paste few months, we have seen serums, products for the legs and feet and this month, Karen, who founded Time Of Your Life (TOYL) has spent the past few months trailing the best make-up for midlife women and these are the products she chose.
TOYL It's Makeover Time November Beauty Box
The box is worth £101.94 and it is on sale for just £35, but again, if you use the code BQUK it can be yours for just £30 and inside is everything you need to give you those fluttery lashes, bold lip, blurred lines and glowing skin!

The first product out of the box is from Lord & Berry with their Vogue Matt Lipstick in the shade Fuscia. These lipsticks are said to offer full-on colour with moisture which comes from the inclusion of orchid and papaya extracts.
TOYL It's Makeover Time November Beauty Box
As a shade, it is very much the fuscia pink, not as bright as I was expecting it to be, in fact it is really wearable and until I came across it in this box and tried it, it would have been a shade I would have looked at twice. If wearing a red is out of your comfort zone, then a shade such as this pink might very well be the one you can wear.

The second product within this box is the Bellapierre Ultra Glow Highlighting and Bronzing Palette and it is described as being the ultimate cheek palette.
TOYL It's Makeover Time November Beauty Box
On the palette there is four universal shades; three of which are best described as being shimmery highlighters and one which is a velvety matte contour shade. Finely milled pigments make all of these shades easy to blend and build up and the four shades from left to right - Beam, Spectacular, Aura and Straight can be mixed for the perfect glow, day or night and I have used the shade Straight as an eyeshadow shade and it is really beautiful to work with.

Next from Code Beautiful we have their Volume Lengthening Mascara (VLM). I was first introduced to this brand back in 2017 and their lip-liner is still one of the best I have used.
TOYL It's Makeover Time November Beauty Box
This mascara is described as being volumising, lengthening, thickening, curling, no-clumping, no-smudging, vegan mascara and to top it all off, it is also water-resistant. Enriched with vitamins and waxes to encourage lash growth, the full bristle brush with different length bristles designed to grab every lash for guaranteed definition, thickness, volume and lift.

The final product in this box is from Lord & Berry but this time it is the Skin Control Mattifying Blurring Primer.
TOYL It's Makeover Time November Beauty Box
Described as being a universal weightless real-life mattifying and blurring primer, it works to minimise excess shine with a soft focus finish, it also blurs the appearance of pores and fine lines and gives a velvet finish on the skin. Skin Control is shine-free, matte, smooth, and primed for makeup application.  What I like about this primer is that it works just as well with foundation as it does with my tinted moisturiser.

The final product within this box is a treat and it comes from Vita Liberata with their Heavenly Elixir in the shade medium.
TOYL It's Makeover Time November Beauty Box
Whilst I don't use fake tan products, this Heavenly Elixir is described as having a luscious cocoa scent and it is a product that is hydrating, so it helps to lock moisture into the skin whilst at the same time, working to deliver a most naturally flawless bronze shade to the body, which is then said to continue to develop over the next few days and it doesn't begin to fade for 10 days.

I really like the theme of this box, I love the Lord & Berry Blurring Primer and I am always happy to see a mascara in any box I am lucky enough to review. The contents are worth £101.94 and could be yours for just £30*. If you didn't know, TOYL is a monthly subscription box and it usually costs just £35 a month (£30 using my code below) but, unlike other subscription boxes I’ve tried, you always have the option to pause your subscription and pick it up again when you are ready. So if there is a box you don't feel is right for you, you can hold that subscription and continue when you spot something you love, which in my case has been every month so far!

Platinum Jubilee Beauty Kings and Queens TOYL Box

The June Edition of the TOYL Beauty Box has arrived and it is simply brilliant. Aptly titled the Platinum Jubilee Beauty Kings and Queens Edition, this month is all about, if you hadn’t guessed from the title, the Kings and Queens of the beauty world.
Platinum Jubilee Beauty Kings and Queens TOYL Box
Every month I rave about these boxes because they are simply brilliant and you can see why I love them right here. For me, a beauty box is about discovering brands that you might not ordinarily try or come across. TOYL is exactly that kind of box and there is always a brand to discover.

This months box features six products from some of the biggest names and here they are.

Starting with Dr Murad and the Intense Recovery Cream (£69). For anyone who reads my blog, you will know that I am a huge fan of the brand and this cream is incredible.
Platinum Jubilee Beauty Kings and Queens TOYL Box
Designed to be comforting for the skin, this Intensive Recovery Cream is ideal for the face and around the eyes to help reduce the visible signs of stress-induced ageing and redness. Using Microalgae Extract, which targets the appearance of fine lines, helping to smooth the look of these signs of stress and tension. It also encourages your skin to naturally recover from dryness while working to relieve redness for a seemingly healthier finish. Added Shea Butter and Macadamia Oil act as an intensive moisturiser, locking in hydration for a soothed surface while Mirabilis Jalapa Plant Extract has a calming effect for a sensation of long-lasting comfort. This cream can be used both morning and evening.

Up next from Kate Somerville is a product I’ve been wanting to get my hands on and that is the Daily Deflector Mineral Sunscreen (£46).
Platinum Jubilee Beauty Kings and Queens TOYL Box
Expertly formulated restoring ingredients hydrate & strengthen skin, this 100% mineral sunscreen absorbs and deflects UV rays that we all know contribute to 80% of premature ageing and it also helps protect from blue light too. the formula is blended with non-nano Zinc Oxide to create a physical shield against UVA and UVB. Added Vitamin E and Ectoin ward off pollution-induced damage, minimising the risk of scaliness and rough textures, while Tasmannia Lanceolata Leaf Extract has a soothing effect to promote comfort and reduce the appearance of redness. Lastly, a hydrating Ceramide Complex works with your skin’s natural moisture barrier to lock in water for a healthier-looking sheen.

The third product comes from Origins with their Plantscription Multi-Powered Youth Serum.
Platinum Jubilee Beauty Kings and Queens TOYL Box
Said to be the brand’s most comprehensive product of its kind, it has been designed for face, neck and eyes and imparts 15 youth-boosting benefits, and features 6 peptides which help to soften the look of expression lines and support the skin’s natural collagen. Featuring ingredients such as Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid which help to hydrate and fight visible signs of ageing. 

Up next we have Mavala and whilst they are possibly best know for their nail polishes, which is the next product in this box, they also have an amazing skincare range too.
Platinum Jubilee Beauty Kings and Queens TOYL Box
This nail polish, named Cyber Silver is the perfect shade to celebrate the Jubilee weekend with its platinum look! Mavala’s unique polish delivers what is referred to as being microscopic air pockets which help allow your nails to breath underneath and this polish is also free from parabens and formaldehydes. On the nails, it glides on effortlessly thanks to the great brush and I have always found no more than two coats is necessary with this brand. 

From Bumble & Bumble is the Thickening Plumping Hair Mask.
Platinum Jubilee Beauty Kings and Queens TOYL Box
I absolutely love using a hair mask and try to ensure I use one at least once a week. From Bumble & Bumble, this lightweight mask uses Emblica Technology which plumps the hairs strands from roots to ends to give that thicker, fuller more volumized look. Then there is hydrolysed rice Protein which helps add volume and bounce, before Kukui Seed Oil and Coconut Oil come into their own to help condition and smooth. After use, your hair is instantly detangled and if you have scalp issues, this mask is also said to help soothe.

Then finally we have Seeds of Colour, a brand which is described as being a vegan beauty range of products which are science-backed natural makeup that reinvent modern beauty.
Platinum Jubilee Beauty Kings and Queens TOYL Box
These pill shaped samples are natural, organic, and 100% vegan multi-use colour balms. Just order our free biodegradable, compostable, single-use eco-samples. They come in two exquisite shades: Warm Caramel and Rose Pink. 

Once again I don’t need to tell you just how amazing this box is, all of these amazing brands and their products and the box is priced at just £39.99, though it is worth an incredible £145.40 and it also includes free P&P and if you use the code BQUK, you will get £5 off your first box!

The first item out of this month's box is from the incredible Dr Murad and it is the Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum (£73).

The second product is from another beautiful brand and one from whom I have only tried makeup from, so this is a real treat. From Chantecallie is the La Creme Rich Anti-Age+.
TOYL AUGUST BOX 2022 - FINE LINE FIX IN FOUR WEEKS!
As a cream, it is described as being luxuriously velvety smooth and it is infused with five extraordinary plant stem cells; Bionymph, Plantago, Caffeine Free Coffee, Daphne, and Raspberry which work together to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles whilst at the same time visibly lift and plump helping reveal a perfect 3D re-contoured look of the face.  I am really hoping to not love this cream because a full-sized version retails for well over £300!

The third product out of this months box is from one of my favourite brands - Ren Clean Skincare and it is their Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic.
TOYL AUGUST BOX 2022 - FINE LINE FIX IN FOUR WEEKS!
The AHA Tonic, which I have fully reviewed here, is described as being a toner that provides the skin with a daily dose of clean bio-active extracts to help you get glowing. This tonic is formulated with the pH of 3.5; the optimum pH at which your skin naturally exfoliates. Within Ready Steady Glow, REN use and harness the power of three sustainable, natural bio-actives - Lactic Acid, Salicin and Azelaic Acid Precursor and each one of these ingredients come together to dissolve dead and dry skin as well as to cleanse your pores, help balance the skin's natural sebum levels and helps to boost radiance, hydration and elasticity.

The fourth item within this box comes from Beautypro with their Retinol Under-eye patches. Again, I have used these patches before and think, for their price, they are really good value for money.

Described as being serum infused gel patches, they are rich in anti ageing ingredients to help smooth skin texture and visibly reduce fine lines, plus they are also designed to help to brighten dark circles and visibly improve the appearance of pigmentation. These patches are enriched with vitamin B5 to soothe the skin and Aloe Vera to retain moisture.

Then finally, this month the treat is the ISOCLEAN Brush Cleanser

This cleanser is d
esigned to help your brushes to last longer, the solution removes build-ups of dead skin, sebum, dirt, dust, and other particles all without damaging the brushes bristles.

Once again, I really don’t need to tell you just how amazing this box is, all of these amazing brands and their products and the box is priced at just £39.99, though it is worth an incredible £121.25 and it also includes free P&P and if you use the code BQUK, you will get £5 off your first box!
