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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
