WOW! And for a closer look...

From Lore Originals is a 30ml Legend Hair Mask sachet which is worth just over £6. This brand's been on my radar a while so I'm looking forward to trying this hair mask which you use on dry hair and which helps to rebuild the core integrity of your hair.

From Umberto Giannini we have their Flowerology Rose Drops (£5.40 - 100ml) which are 97% natural and Vegan. I love anything rose so I'm looking forward to trying this out.

The third haircare item is from new to me brand, Cake Beauty and inside is their Mane Manage'r (£14.99 - 120ml), a 3-in-1 Leave in Conditioner which has a sweet cake like scent! Looking forward to trying this vegan product out.

From Lumene there is a full size Deep Clean Purifying Cleansing Oil (£16 - 150ml) which is a new to me brand. It'll deeply cleanse removing make up and daily grime.

From Patchology is their AquaFlash Daily Gel Moisturiser (£30 - 50ml) which I'm excited to try. I've been enjoying lighter moisturising gels during this hot spell. It's water based so floods your parched skin with moisture. 

A dinky little try-me Illuminating Hydration Bar (20g) from Argentum Apothecary which is a great addition to the box. See my review HERE.

From Jurlique there's a try-me size (20g) of their Radiant Skin Foaming Cleanser which will cleanse the skin leaving it feeling nourished and clean. Tried this last night. It's a beaut!

While this amazing box may now be sold out, you can pick up one of the other collection boxes HERE.

A Closer Look: Toners & Treatments

I know some people don't believe in toners but I like them to refresh the skin after cleansing or spritz my skin on a hot day.

Time Bomb Complexion Cocktail with a shot of B12 100ml* - not a toner as such but a product which re-boots dull skin leaving it plumped and healthy. This is a fabulous product. See my review here.

111 Skin Ground Control NAC Y2 Anti-Acne Tonic 130ml* - if I feel like I'm breaking out I'll use this as it helps to cleanse and tone skin prone to breakouts.  See my review here.

Opale Toning Mist 200ml* - a light mist scented with Damask Rose and Raspberry Extract.  It tones, refreshes and soothes the skin. I've recently been sent this to try so expect a full review soon - it's gorgeous!

G Baldwin & Co Pomegranate, Bilberry and Rose Revitalising Tonic 150ml* - a light and refreshing toner.  See my review here.

Madara Deep Balance Toner for Normal-Combination Skin 200ml - a gentle toner which regulates oil and minimises pores while soothing drier areas.

Organic Surge Orange Flower Toner 200ml* - is a natural toner which blends Orange Flower Water, Aloe Vera and Centella asiatica extracts.

Light and refreshing it freshens the skin and removes the remains of any cleanser.  Use after cleansing or throughout the day if your skin needs a boost.

It is 98.89% natural and contains no alcohol or chemicals.  Suitable also for vegans and vegetarians.

Apply to a cotton pad and sweep over the skin (avoiding eyes/lips).

This is really lovely to use, it smells gorgeous and leaves the skin clean and fresh (it would be nice kept in the fridge to use on summer days). You can enter my competition to win 1 of 5 - see my post here. The competition ends on Friday and is UK only.
