It’s easy to feel excluded by the beauty industry when you’re over 40. Often we are not of interest to brands, unless it’s to sell us something expensive to deal with our hideous wrinkly faces.
So it’s refreshing to find a product that isn’t apologetic about being aimed at over 40s, is absent of the dreaded phrase “anti ageing” and if anything, seems to positively delight in being who we are now.
Say hello to the Time of Your Life box, a beauty and lifestyle box for grown ups.
This is the first Time of Your Life box, and it contains:
- Dr Hauschka Lemongrass Vitalising Bath Essence (100ml full size RRP £17)
- Healthspan Collagen Boosting Serum (30ml full size RRP £17.99)
- The Organic Pharmacy Marigold & Comfrey Hand Cream (30ml travel size, value £13)
- Bellapierre Gel Eye Liner in Charcoal (full size, RRP £14)
- Natural Health Practice Meno Support multivitamin (full size, 60 capsules, RRP £25.78)
- Willie’s Cacao Venezuelan Dark Chocolate (26g, RRP £1.10)
You also get access to these podcasts and downloads:
- Liz Earle’s Guide to the Good Menopause Downloads
- Lee Pycroft Make Up Over 40 Podcast
- Dr Marilyn Glenville’s Natural Solutions to Menopause e-book (RRP £12.99)
So all in all there’s over £100 of value in there, and a pretty thoughtful selection of quality products too. I did a lot of research into these products as I was writing this, and the thing that struck me was that they all have excellent word of mouth online reviews. These are well-respected products with a great reputation – there’s no filler. This would make a lovely gift for a friend who’s over 40, or indeed a treat for yourself.
Personally I’m most excited about the deliciously lemony bath essence – Dr Hauschka is such a good brand – and the serum which is formulated with natural plant oestrogens. The multivitamin looks great, and I’ll start taking that as soon as my current one has run out. Charcoal is a top choice for the eyeliner – it’s gentler than black eyeliner whilst still giving good smoky eye.
As yet this is the first Time of Your Life box, so I hope the company can keep the standard up. They’re based in Arundel, just up the road from me in Sussex, so I will be keeping an eye on them to see what future fun and surprises they can come up with.
