REN Evercalm Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask (bought myself, available from Cult Beauty, Feel Unique for £34) - I’ve gone through countless bottles of this mask now. It’s one I always try to have in my stash as it’s so effective at soothing and calming irritated skin. It’s a beautiful thick cream that you can leave on for ages.

Solgar Collagen Hyaluronic Acid Complex supplements (bought myself, available HERE for £37.75) - I used to take separate collagen and hyaluronic acid supplements so I’ve been able to save a bit of money by taking these. Collagen makes a huge difference to the strength of my nails and hyaluronic acid is great to keep my skin hydrated. It also helps stop my eyes drying out as much when I wear contact lenses.

Mitchum Deodorant (bought myself, available HERE for £3.20) - This is my go to deodorant. It’s effective and lightly scented and it doesn’t interfere with my perfume.

Chantecaille Jasmine & Lily Healing mask (bought myself, available from Space NK & Cult Beauty for £76) - This was such a sad empty! An absolutely beautiful mask. It’s a lightweight cream that’s super comforting and soothing. It smells gorgeous too. Such a treat to use. The only downside is the price! I managed to pick it up when it was on offer.

Mio Go With The Flow body oil (PR, available from Look Fantastic for £20) - I adore the scent of this range! It’s such a relaxing scent. The oil itself is really nourishing too. I love to apply it before bed to help me sleep.

Would I repurchase? I’ve got another bottle ready to open!
Mio Liquid Yoga Space Spray (PR, available from Look Fantastic for £20) - This is the same beautiful scent as the body oil. I’m a huge fab of pillow sprays as they really help me to relax and drift off to sleep quicker. This is definitely the nicest one I’ve used! Highly recommend.

Would I repurchase? Most definitely!
Luneia Clarity Concentrate serum (PR, available HERE for £28) - You can read my review of this HERE but to recap - this is a fantastic serum, especially if you suffer with congestion / spots. It’s a super lightweight serum that’s really hydrating. It contains Niacinamide and Salicylic acid so it’s brilliant to keep pores clear and reduce oil. It’s reasonably priced too.

Dermalogica Active Clay Cleanser (PR, available from Space NK for £35) - Not quite an empty but it’s been open for ages and the scent has changed so it’s time to get rid. A beautiful creamy clay cleanser that’s fab if you have oily, congested skin.

La Mer Moisturising Cream (bought myself, available HERE for £70) - This cream is iconic for good reason! It’s such a beautiful, rich moisturiser that’s so soothing and nourishing. It smells lovely too - really fresh and creamy. Such a treat to use.

Do I recommend it? Yes
Would I repurchase? I’ve got another mini pot to use already.
Acropass Trouble Cure microdart pimple patches (bought myself, available HERE for £14.90 but you can save 15% using my code TORIA15) - I’ve used 3 of these this month and they’re so effective! I had a big under the skin spot and I used one of these patches on it. It flattened it overnight! You get a salicylic acid soaked pad to clean the spot area, this also helps to clear the spot up. The microdarts contain Niacinamide which is brilliant to help shift any pigmentation from the spot.

PSA Reset cleanser (bought myself, available HERE for £28) - This is such a beautiful cleanser. It's a milky / gel texture that's really gentle and nourishing. It leaves skin well hydrated. So nice!

Mantle The Chill Cream (PR, available HERE for £55) - This cream has some amazing ingredients including Niacinamide, Ceramides, CBD & Bakuchiol. It's a fairly lightweight cream that's still nourishing. I liked this but it didn't wow me so I'm passing it on to a friend to try instead.

Alturist Face Fluid SPF 50 (PR, available HERE for £9) - This is a fantastic SPF, especially for the price! It's a lightweight, hydrating fluid that's easily absorbed and didn't pill. Unfortunately it made my eyes water. My eyes are quite sensitive though, especially when it comes to SPF. I'll be passing this on too.
Marks out of 10: 6/10
Do I recommend it? Yes, for the price it's worth a try!
Would I repurchase? No.
Living M Quench & Soothe Serum (PR, available HERE for £35) - I love the idea behind this brand - they've created products that are specifically designed for menopausal / peri-menopausal skin. Having previously been put in temporary menopause for my Endometriosis, I know all too well how it can effect the skin! This is a creamy, nourishing serum containing Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin B5 that feels really protective. I found that it occasionally pilled / rolled though which is a pet hate of mine!

REN Bio Retinoid Youth Serum (PR, available from Space NK for £62 & Cult Beauty for £65) - This is a lovely, milky serum that contains a natural alternative to retinol as well as ceramides. I've enjoyed using it but it's a bit of a spare wheel in my routine as I prefer to use Retinol / Retinal. So I'll pass this on to a friend to try instead. It's a great alternative though if you don't want to use retinol.

Mantle The Dream Mask (PR, available HERE for £64) - This overnight mask has the most gorgeous pudding-like texture. It's super lightweight and hydrating. It contains Bakuchiol, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E. I loved applying this but I found that it seemed to create a film on my skin which would then peel off throughout the evening. I tried applying less but it still happened. So it's getting passed on.

Indeed Labs Hydraluron Cream Cleanser (PR, available HERE for £19.99) - Such a lovely, thick cream / gel cleanser. It gives such a creamy, soft lather that's super gentle to skin. I loved it for a second cleanse.

Ultra Violette Queen Screen SPF 50+ (bought myself, available from Cult Beauty & Space NK for £36) - You can read my review of this HERE but to recap - This has become one of my favourite SPF's, especially under makeup. It was actually in my top products of 2021 (read HERE). Now it won't be for everyone, as it's quite strongly scented with rose. I love the scent personally but others definitely won't. It's a runny serum consistency but it's incredibly nourishing and emollient. It's also really glowy which again won't be to everyone's taste but I adore! I just love how dewy my skin looks with it on. Highly recommend!

Would I repurchase? I already have! I won't let myself run out of this.
NYK1 Brow Force (PR, available HERE for £44.95 but you can save 10% using my code TORIA10) - This is the same amazing formula as Lash Force, just with a bigger applicator so it's quicker and easier to apply. This makes a massive difference to my brows - check out the before and after photo below. It makes my brows grow thicker and darker. Amazing stuff!

Do I recommend it? Yes
Would I repurchase? Yes I won't be without it now!
Rituals The Ritual of Ayurveda Foaming Shower Gel (bought myself, available HERE for £8.50) - This has the most beautiful sweet almond, warm scent that is so comforting. The gel foams up so you only need a small amount. The foam is incredibly creamy and leaves skin super soft.

Would I repurchase? Yes.
Jordan Samuel Skin Body Oil (bought myself, available HERE for £30) - This has the same fresh, citrus scent as the After Show Cleanser (if you know, you know). It's a lovely, nourishing oil that leaves my skin super soft.

Do I recommend it? Yes
Would I repurchase? Yes.
Skingredients Skin Veg (PR, available HERE for £44) - You can read my original review of this HERE but to recap - this pre-serum hydrates and preps skin. It actually acts as a penetration enhancer for anything applied after. It leaves skin so plump and hydrated. It was also in my top products of 2021.
Marks out of 10: 10/10
Do I recommend it? Yes
Would I repurchase? Definitely! I've luckily been sent another one. This serum is now in new refillable packaging.
Wild Nutrition Food-Grown Endo Complex supplements (bought myself, available HERE for £35) - These are specifically designed for persons with Endometriosis. They're designed to help balance hormones and calm inflammation.
Marks out of 10: 9/10
Do I recommend them? Yes
Would I repurchase? Yes, I've actually got them set up on subscription.
And that's it for this month! Thanks for reading.
