CODE BEAUTIFUL - THE ULTIMATE MAKE UP COLLECTION
This is the ultimate make up collection, the key products that you will need this autumn from a brand that I absolutely love!
Code Beautiful is a small, independent British brand owned by the lovely Sarah Cross. I've podcasted with Sarah before when she let us have her VLM Mascara in one of our boxes last year, but this is the whole caboodle.
Sarah creates make up from the idea that whichever product she has created it is the ultimate of its kind. She wants you and me to be able to create an amazing look in just a few minutes, without using forty five billion products.
When I watch some makeup tutorials on Instagram I cannot believe the number of products they use and Sarah comes from the same thinking.
We midlife women want amazing results, not many products, the right products and for it not to take more than five to ten minutes to achieve a fantastic look and that's why we're here at Code Beautiful.
I'll start with the newer products, Code Beautiful's Lid Lift Enhance (6.5ml x 2, RRP £22.00 each). You have two of these in the box and there's a reason for this. This product is a concealer, an eyeshadow and a primer so one of these (or a little blending of the two) will produce the right shade for your skin. "What do I then do with the other one?" I can hear you say. Well , this then gets used as an eyeshadow (Sarah will show you in a video later this month), a contourer or a highlighter but it will absolutely not be redundant.
Next up is another new product the Lip Intense Plumper (7ml/RRP £20.00).. So many of us get thinning lips as we hit midlife and later along with the fine lines running along the top lip which just seem to appear overnight. This plumper is packed with Hyaluronic Acid which helps retain moisture. Use this under lipstick or as a treatment regularly and you will absolutely see results.
We then move to Code SSL Soft Smooth Lip Liner (0.25g/ RRP £18.00). Code Beautiful only do one lip colour and they only do this lip liner. No lipstick, no choice, this is it, the ultimate lip colour in a pencil. Sarah tested hundreds of women of all skin tones and this is the colour that suits us all. Not only that, but this is a lip liner, plumper and lipstick all in one, self sharpening pencil. It doesn't bleed, it doesn't look harsh it is, in short, perfect!
Now for the eyes. There are two products here. First, is Code FFL Forget Fake Lashes (12ml/ RRP £18.00). Now, you know that I am trying to get you into proper fake lashes as they open up the eye fantastically. However, I do know that it is an art to get these on and sometimes life is too short. FFL is for those of you who don't want to use Fake Lashes or those of us who want longer lashes every day and not just for an event. This product extends even the shortest of lashes. Brush on, leave 30 seconds and then apply mascara, which is Code VLM Volumising, Lengthening Mascara (12ml / RRP £19.95).
Hands down, VLM is the best mascara I have ever used. In fact, I have some in the cupboard that I press into the hands of many of my beauty contacts as it is just so good. I don't know where to start with this but all I can say is try it.
Sarah Cross is a make up genius and I hope you love this box as much as me. Sarah is podcasting, facebooking and videoing with us this month so discover exactly how to use to get the best results - you'll look even more amazing!
I hope you love it, and please do send me your feedback.
Kind Regards,
Karen

THE Beauty Box designed for women over 40

Time of Your Life, or TOYL as we call it, is THE Beauty Box designed by and created specifically for women over 40 who want beauty confidence from the products they buy.

There's no question that skin changes over time and skin over forty faces it's own specific challenges. We lose moisture so fine lines can appear, skin drops a little with gravity creating new contours on our face, sun damage plays its part and the menopause kicks in to alter our hormone balance. Products that might have worked in our twenties may not be quite so suitable now and that's where TOYL comes in.

With the TOYL beauty subscription box all products are chosen by me, Karen Davis. I've been a beauty PR and also created some of the most iconic beauty boxes sold by the UK national press, including their advent calendars. Now, I'm bringing my expertise to TOYL, to ensure that women over forty get products that work, that are made for our skin, that address the issues we have and that meet our sustainability and ingredient criteria.

TOYL is a great opportunity to test amazing, inspirational and advanced products for women over forty, each month at a very affordable price.

There are No Post & Packaging costs and we use the latest SSL encryption technology to provide a 100% Secure Checkout experience.

Each month, you'll receive a themed box products which could be relevant to the time of year, a look at new trends or a brand takeover box where we get a full range of products from an amazing brand. From a shake up of skincare in the Autumn, to travel products in May, glamour in November and home spa for January. TOYL brings you both classic and discovery beauty products every month, that are relevant to you.

WHY SUBSCRIBE TO TOYL?

We feel that women over forty, like ourselves, want something different from our monthly beauty box. We want great brands, decent sized products and a wealth of information on how to get best results from each product.

So, not only are we bringing you treats, but podcasts, blogs and newsletters on the latest beauty tips for hair, skin, fitness and health after forty.

We interview brands about their ingredients, why they started their range, what they want us to see and how to get the best results. We also interview beauty experts such as Lee Pycroft, Elle Macpherson's Make Up Artist of choice for many years, on how we can keep our make up current and explore the new to keep looking great.

In short, we're your go-to place for all news on beauty over forty.

We want you to enjoy being with TOYL so there's no contract, no tie in, no problems, just a great box turning up at your door each month.

Packed with amazing goodies, this box delivers some of the loveliest me-time treats that are not only a joy to use but are perfect for women in their prime.

KAREN DAVIS - ABOUT ME

I'm an ex-beauty PR of twenty five years, award winning 40+ beauty blogger, I've created reader beauty offers for most of the major UK media and my book, Time Of Your Life on how to live midlife brilliantly, is out now - it's an Amazon #1 Bestseller.

TOYL was created for a couple of reasons.

88% of women over forty think that brands are way more preoccupied with "anti-ageing" than we are. What we actually want is to look amazing, whatever our age.

Women 40-65 years old are the fastest growing demographic in the world, but over 80% of us don't think that brands, any brands speak to us.

64% of all household spend is controlled by us so why don't brands make more of an effort to speak to us?

TOYL is about bringing brands to a specific conversation with 40+ women, speaking to us in our own right and having real conversations with us.

Our beauty box is a monthly treat, a dose of confidence and our community is a source of humour, information and belonging - get involved and welcome to our world!

FREEBIES (TO US, NOT YOU!)

Unlike most bloggers or podcasters, TOYL pays for all our samples. If we review a product, we've bought it (clearly our box products we've bought at a great price, but we've still bought them), hotels we book and pay for exactly the same as you, any skincare treatments we've paid full price for and any other companies we review in our podcasts or blogs have paid us nothing nor given us anything for free (except their time).

We believe that all TOYL editorial content should be our opinions, with no hint of being swayed in our reviews by freebies. This costs us a lot more, but you won't see us endorsing a product, telling you it's great when we don't think it is, for cash. Our income to create our podcasts, blogs and videos comes from the sale of our beauty boxes and if we think something is great, that's our opinion from the heart.
