Beauty PR and author Karen Davies very recently launched Time of Your Life, a beauty subscription service and online community hub aimed at women aged 35 and upwards. Each month, the box is packed with established and emerging skin and body care brands, worth over £110. I was kindly sent a box to look at.
Each month the box, which costs £35, 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. Every month, before the box is dispatched, a newsletter will be sent out to let the recipient know what is inside the box, what I love is that you can opt out of the newsletter, meaning your surprise won't be ruined.
I was given an insight as to what your box might look like and I was really impressed with the contents. Firstly is the book, aptly titled 'The Time of Your Life' and written by the lovely Karen who came up with this subscription box idea. The book, which went on to become a number one bestseller with Amazon is about her experience of how to live your best life in midlife, how you need to live as a midlife woman, what no one has told you and the surprises along the way. It's about finding a Power Decade that, for once, is just about you. With the book came five beauty products:
- Gatineau Radiance Enhancing Gommage - A pearlescent gel that liquefies when massaged into skin, to help gently remove impurities and help brighten the look of your complexion.
- Living Proof Restore Repair Mask - As well as being a treatment that nourishes and refreshes your locks, it also targets areas that are damaged, helping to improve the overall appearance of frazzled strands and split ends for a sleeker, smoother finish.
- Leighton Denny Time Repair Anti-ageing Miracle Oil - This is a beautiful treatment oil which hydrates and softens hand and cuticles.
- Oryza Beauty Dewy Glow Balm - 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.
- Aromatherapy Associates Anti-ageing Fine Line Face Oil - Using a a supreme blend of Rose and Patchouli oils as well as Evening Primrose and Ximenia, to encourage glowing, healthy skin performance. Apple and Raspberry Seed oils plump skins surface softening fine lines to leave skin radiant and renewed.
I am sure you will agree that this is quite the line up of products with some really big brands being represented in this box. It also makes an incredible gift. If you know someone in their mid-30's for whom you find it difficult to buy a gift for, right now via TOYL, there is an offering of a 3 month subscription, worth over £300 on offer for just £105. The gift is sent in the form of a gift card along with a beauty gift worth £20 and all the recipient has to do is to follow the instructions to activate the account - I absolutely love this idea and can think of a few of my friends who would love this as a gift.
