Face, Lips, Hands and Body ... not quite a new rendition of heads, shoulders, knees and toes but areas that dry out in the Winter! If you are in full on Winter mode then you shall know that the days are shorter and darker, the air has gotten colder and all you want to do is get cosy. If you are in summer mode, then all of the above products still apply, you lucky thing.
Once again that shift in season means a shift in your skincare to help combat the effects of climate change on the skin. Winter brings all sorts of issues where suddenly you feel your skin looks dull, dehydrated and irritated having been exposed to the harsher elements, so we need to shield it as best we can and give it as much love as we can.
Last month Mintd Box helped us to get our beauty sleep, so this month they have stepped it up a notch by choosing products all designed to nourish and care for our skin further with this months, Winter Survival Kit. I say it time and time again but Mintd really are the best at addressing skin needs month after month and if you still haven't tried them, your really missing out. Regardless of it being Winter or not, all of these products shall help your skin all year round and may just become a routine staple for you.

| Mintd Box November, Winter Survival Kit |
Mintd Box did the same box theme this time last year and that was one of my favourite boxes to date as it introduced me to some amazing products like the Rodial Dragons Blood Moisturiser which in turn led me to buying more from the range because I just fell in love with it. Each brand and product in that box was incredible which is why I was very excited to see this years version.
The Winter Survival Kit has been designed to combat dehydrated skin, chapped lips, dull complexions and make your whole body feel soft and smooth. I have to use Mintd Box' exact words here because their description of the box says it all .....
"A combination of warm honey to stimulate and revitalise dry skin; Gels with wild berry extracts to rehydrate and plumps lips; Lavender, Jasmine and Rosewood Scrub to de-stress and buff away dead skin; A decedent yet lightweight cream to leave you feeling satin soft and a luxurious face balm to bring your delicate face to life".
Seductive right? Need I say more!

Let's start with the product I was excited to try the most because you know I LOVE a face mask ..
 |
| Mintd Box November, Winter Survival Kit, Farmacy Honey Potion Mask |
 |
| Mintd Box November, Winter Survival Kit, Farmacy Honey Potion Mask |
1. Farmacy Honey Potion Mask 50g (Full Size £34) (buy here!)
A warming face mask that transforms from a honey syrup into a cream when massaged onto the skin. It helps to stimulate blood flow and revitalise dry, stressed out complexions with a blend of healing honey, as we all know the benefits of honey and how it really can heal the body. Suitable for all skin types.
How it works; using the spatula (that cleverly magnetises to the lid!) scoop the honey mask out and spread a thick layer onto your face, avoiding the eye and lip area. It will feel warm as you do this! Massage for 1-2 minutes as it warms then turns into a white cream. Leave on for 10-15 mins then rinse! It is that easy.

I fell in love with Farmacy after using the Honey Drop Moisturiser from August's Mintd Box (review here!) which I am still using as we speak. This mask has been high on my wish list so it was obviously the first thing I picked out from the box. The syrup-like texture is unlike any other mask I have used before being very unique and looking and feeling exactly like honey, in fact my husband thought it was! On my initial application, the mask got warm from the moment I applied it which freaked me out a little I won't lie but then as I massaged it into my skin, the texture became very creamy and easy to work with and the warm feeling became comforting and gentle. It looked like I had a really thick face cream on and the warm feeling seemed to lessen with not so much as a tingle, but just a lovely hydrating feel. It rinsed off very easily and simply left my skin looking brighter, healthier and super hydrated and I loved the whole experience of using it. The honey part helps to accelerate skin healing so this is great for times when you need some TLC and dry/dehydrated skins especially, would really appreciate this one. It is most definitely a mask welcomed in the winter months because of the warming aspect, acting like a winter hug for your skin, that does in fact pair nicely with a cosy blanket and a hot chocolate or glass of wine perhaps! A total hit and a mask I shall very much be enjoying this Winter.
 |
| Mintd Box November, Winter Survival Kit, Argentum La Potion Infinie |
2. Argentum Apothecary La Potion Day/Night Cream (Deluxe Size £34) (buy here!)
Argentum La potion infinie is a highly luxurious moisturiser that moisturises in a unique way by delivering hydration at a cellular level carrying 10,000 times it's weight in water. It targets wrinkles, lines, blemishes and stress. It uses Silver Hydrosol and DNA HP - which in turn help to promote cell regeneration which enables maximum hydration to result in a healthier complexion that is visible improved. This is highly scientific brand .... and oozes luxury. All skins, all ages, unisex and can be used on the face. neck and eyes!
Upon reading more about Argentum, I instantly thought of La Prairie (who I trained with and worked for as a Facialist for 6 years) as they also work on a cellular level which means that this type of skincare does make visible changes to your skin as they feed it with skin identical ingredients and penetrate to a deeper level compared to other brands.
This moisturiser may only be a small size (yet still worth £34!) but my god, it is utterly incredible. The texture is velvety and creamy and quite deceiving as it feels very fluid and light yet when you massage in, becomes richer so a little goes a long way. It absorbs beautifully into the skin and leaves you with a healthy glow and a nice soft feel instantly. One thing you will notice if you try this is the scent. My word, it smells out of this world. This scent was created in Grasse, the home of scents, using natural ingredients to give you a sense of well being; using light citrus, rosewood, geranium, sandalwood and patchouli, you will be in LOVE, like me. Never have I had my facial moisturiser smell like a treatment. Even the black glass jar is specially designed to block out light with the exception of violet light which extends the life span of the cream itself, plus all jars have their very own unique serial number. I mean could this get any more luxurious? I obviously haven't used the moisturiser long enough to know how it has improved my skin long term but I can say that first impressions have me sold, in fact I am cursing Mintd box for making me fall in love with this cream ... because full sized, it's not cheap. This is again why Mintd are amazing at introducing you to brands that take some 'trying before buying' because of the expense. A truly wonderful product and a brand I would l love to see appear again.

| Mintd Box November, Winter Survival Kit, Earth Tu Face Balm |
3. Earth Tu Face Hydrate & Repair Face Balm (Full Size £60) (buy here!)
This face balm consists of a blend of Immortelle flowers, Rose Petals and Australian Sandalwood all in an organic creamy base. This luxurious balm offers intense hydration and intensive tissue repair. Rose petals give relief from redness and irritation as the beeswax seals in moisture and protects the skin. Sandalwood acts as a scar prevention and helps to tone the skin whilst Coconut and Raw Cocoa Butters hydrate. The brand was set up by two herbalists who basically 'grew' their own skincare line from the ground up choosing plants that heal, restore and rejuvenate skin cells, hence the name Earth Tu Face. They believe that you should never put on your skin what you wouldn't put in your mouth hence the products are all food grade meaning you could actually eat them!
This is a product I have used before so it was a lovely surprise to have it again although it wasn't really suited to my skin, but dry skins will just LOVE it. A pea sized amount is all you need and then you just massage into cleansed/toned skin. It smells amazing and is most definitely very hydrating. The texture is in fact really creamy and not as hard as it looks nor is it greasy and does absorb nicely into your skin leaving it feeling soft and smooth. It was just a tad too rich for me but if you are dry or sensitive, then this is for you as you will benefit massively from using this wonderful balm. I did in fact donate my last one to family, so I knew it would help in the way in which it was designed.
 |
| Mintd Box November, Winter Survival Kit, Skyn Lip Plumping Gels |
4. Sykn Iceland Plumping Lip Gels x 2 (Super Deluxe Size £15) (buy here!)
This is a set of 2 lip masks that aim to tackle loss of fullness, lines/wrinkles and lack of moisture in about 10 minutes! The gel itself contains a mix of highly advanced plant and marine based actives with a state of the art delivery system. The patch is designed to stay put on the lips allowing the ingredients to penetrate to give immediate results. The lip gels look like giant lip shaped jelly sweets and you just simply stick it on over your lips; once you get it to stick then it stays in place really well. It feels very cooling and soothing on the lips so wearing this for ten minutes or so is nice ... just watch tv or something in the meantime!
I have actually used these before and although I personally didn't see any difference in my lips looking any plumper, they did in fact feel a lot more hydrated which is why I recommend them for anyone suffering with chapped lips and wanting to really hydrate their lips. They are ideal to use as a pre-treatment to wearing matte lipsticks or if you hate to wear heavy lip balms, these are a great alternative. When your lips are hydrated they do naturally look a lot healthier and plumper which is always a bonus. These lip gels are however great to keep in your stocks as a pamper treatment for when the weather dries you out.

 |
| Mintd Box November, Winter Survival Kit, NEOM Body Scrub |
5. Neom Organics Real Luxury Body Scrub (Super Deluxe Size £12) (buy here!)
An Organic Sugar scrub with Safflower and Jojoba oils to soften whilst Lavender, Jasmine and Brazilian Rosewood (plus 21 other essential oils!) help you to de-stress. The deluxe size is perfect for travelling as I always struggle to get good body scrubs in mini!
If you haven't ever tried anything from Neom then how I wish, I wish, I wish that you could smell this body polish because it is simply heaven! Neom have been my favourite aromatherapy candle brand for many years as I had the Neom Happiness Candle burning on my wedding day at our table, hence it is a very special brand to me. However, I have never tried the body polish so I was over the moon to see this mini in this months box. I do actually prefer sugar scrubs over salt scrubs as they are a little more gentle and the sugar is just the right texture and size to help rid your body of any dryness. Combined with the super hydrating oil base, your skin will feel baby soft after using this polish. The essential oils will de-stress you in an instant so just take the lid of and have a sniff whenever you feel the need ... and you shall soon become a big Neom fan let me warn you!
 |
| Mintd Box November, Winter Survival Kit |
I think Mintd Box have this whole winter skin thing covered don't you think? Lips and hands are nourished, face and body is hydrated and you feel a whole lot better! For me the Stars of this box have to be the Farmacy Honey Potion as this was a new hit, Neom Body Polish (mainly because of the scent!) and the Argentum Moisturiser of which we can only pray for a full size! 😉

| Mintd Box November, Winter Survival Kit |
Just to recap, the contents of the Winter Survival Kit have a combined value of over £150/€169 for which you only pay £70/€80 per month or bi-monthly giving you an enormous £80/€90 saving as opposed to buying all products individually PLUS receive a FREE Omorovicza Lifting Rose Serum when you sign up to 3, 6 or 12 month plans!

Travel mini's; they just make life easier. When it comes to packing up a travel bag, don't you find that however many days you are away for, you still need to take the same products with you? It's just the size that varies so if I can get my hands on a mini that shall last the trip, then a mini it is. This in turn makes your packing lighter and gives you room in your luggage to pack more on the way back .... aka shop, shop, shop.
Skincare miniatures are far more accessible nowadays as you can even get away with samples in some cases but makeup is not so easy to condense. You can limit the amount of products you take with you but 'downsizing them' isn't always possible. Hence I love when luxury brands make there best selling products into 'travel sizes' ... and this is exactly what By Terry have done! Luxury beauty brands tend to be a lot harder to downsize so I was over the moon to have some of the best iconic beauty products in my hands. Plus, these are great gift ideas!

This is not just beneficial for holidays or trips away, but for everyday because trying to fit all your 'essentials' into your favourite handbag that may not be very generous with space means you can take your face out with you daily ... hurrah!
Isn't it a pain when you have a fancy evening clutch bag that fits about one thing but you really want to use it?! At least this makes that decision of what to take easier!

I have spoken about and shown a lot of these products in action already in a previous blog post, so if you want to see them in full use then head over here.
By Terry have taken 5 best selling products and make them travel friendly for everyday. First up the Compact-Expert Dual Power ....
 |
| By Terry Travel Minis - Compact Expert |
 |
| By Terry Travel Minis - Compact Expert |
- COMPACT EXPERT DUAL POWDER (1.3g > full sized 5g) (buy here!)
A hybrid powder that combines two tones to mattify, highlight and set make-up all in one go. This shade works perfectly as a blush and warms up the face beautifully. I don't think a mini could get any cuter than this! I have the full sized version in the same shade (see here) so this makes doing touch up's a dream! It still has a little mirror too and I love how By Terry have still kept all the details from the original so you don't feel short changed one bit. We all know blushers last forever so this is a great way of trying them out should you be inclined to not want to spend one the bigger size first.

| By Terry Travel Minis- Baume de rose mini |
- BAUME DE ROSE FLACONETTE (2.3g > full sized 7ml) (buy here!)
The Iconic signature balm that was actually my first ever By Terry product that I owned and still use to this day. The formals works to repair, nourish and protect your lips with the most beautiful rose scent and glossy feel. I actually love this as a gloss because its super shiny without being sticky and makes your lips look wet and definitely plumper! I cannot recommend this enough as well as the pot version for your dresser. Trust me, if you have not used this you really need to try it and this a great way to do so.
 |
| By Terry Travel Minis |
Like I said on my previous post, if you have never used this powder then you really should try it! This powder is so finely milled that it not only sets make-up but also blurs over imperfections to add a 'soft focus' to your skin. The hyaluronic spheres within the powder attract an retain moisture from the atmosphere to fill in lines and wrinkles. It feels totally weightless and looks invisible on your skin with no ashy tones and ideal for all skins.
I mean, when can you take a loose powder out with you? unless you want to risk a powder explosion then never. This is genius and the most amazing portable size, again complete with mirror and puff! Albeit very tiny but great for on the spot touch ups on the t-zone which means if you love this power, you never need be without it. you can even refill if from your big pot so you can always have it in travel size. This is definitely the best travel product to own.

I have been a fan of these cream eyeshadow sticks for many years as have many of us! They are so easy to use and the shade range is stunning. They have taken the best selling shade, Bronze Moon, as it suits everybody and is one of those shades that can tael you from day to night in a few strokes. The formula contains pearl extracts which allows the shadow to glide smoothly over the eyes and takes minimal work to blend. The pigments brighten and lifts the eyelids and stays put all day/night long. This is perfect for nights out and shall be that one item you rely on for a quick makeup change when you decide to go for that after work drink.

| By Terry Travel Minis |
We all love a mini mascara as I know it's one of the areas that I like to touch up when I am out hence mascara samples are like gold dust! This is the perfect 'handbag mascara' as to looks stunning, even in miniature. This mascara is in fact a unique tinted lash serum that not only works to give your lashes volume, length and thickness but also helps to boost you own lash growth so the more you apply it, the better the condition of your own lashes. The tube may be smaller but the wand is exactly the same size so you are not losing out on the lash effects/benefits in any way. Again a great way to try this mascara prior to purchasing the full size!

As much as I love my By Terry products in all their true form (above) I may just love their siblings even more!
For every day, I like to take an every day touch up make-up bag out with me so all of these slot in perfectly. We have the Nude-Expert for concealing touch ups, the Hydra-Powder for keeping shine at bay, Compact-Expert for cheeks, Ombre Blackstar and Terrybly mascara for eyes then the Baume de Rose gloss for lips ... all covered and takes up minimal space. Thank you By Terry for seeing to our needs!

Given the time of year, these shall make great stocking fillers too (fancy fillers!).
Considering the cost of each product full sized, these travel sizes really are great value costing between €16 - €18 each and such an ideal way to try out By Terry products you maybe haven't before, yet for less money. I highly recommend investing in the Hydra-Powder, Blush and Gloss as they are things we all reapply and touch up on - you shall be grateful for those trust me.

| Mintd Box October, Beauty Sleep, Goodnight. Omorovicza Facial Polisher |
1. OMOROVICZA Refining Facial Polish, 30ml (Super Deluxe Size £20) (buy here!)
This is a game changer of a facial polish that looks a little strange yet works wonders! This combines the resurfacing properties of an exfoliator with the luxurious texture of a mask using the transformative power of Hungarian moor mud and green micro-algae to reveal a more radiant, smooth and refined complexion. It also uses copper and exotic fruit extracts (the copper creates the green hue!) to regulate sebum production, assist decongestion and gently eliminate dulling dead skin cells. It is designed to transform skin's texture without any irritation or drying and is free from petrochemicals, silicone and synthetic colours and fragrance. This amazing 30ml deluxe size shall see you through a good amount of uses!
When I first saw this in the tube I thought it had gone off I wont lie; it just has the most unusual look I have ever seen in a facial polish but being a huge fan of Omorovicza as a brand, I knew that looks would be very deceiving here! The usual gel-type-cream is bright green and has the most amazing aromatherapy scent that smells divine. As you buff the polish into the skin, you can feel it's micro exfoliating particles and it gently turns from green to grey. You then simply let it set for a few minutes like a mask, then rinse off as this polish does all the hard work for you with no scrubbing or pulling of the skin involved at all. The fact that there is a waiting list for this on Cult Beauty says it all .... it's amazing. When they say 'game changer' they really mean it. This has to be one of the best facial polishes I have tried as it brightens, smoothes and makes your skin come to life and these results live on. It would be the perfect product for anyone that lacks smoothness, or has texture, lines, wrinkles etc as it will help massively. This is why I have fallen in love with Omorovizca as a brand ... because they really know skin.
I love that this acts as a polish and a mask because I think most of us look for multi-tasking products that work as we relax so this is a perfect addition to the box. This is great to use as you lay in the bath, so you can sit back and let it work it's magic!

| Mintd Box October, Beauty Sleep, Goodnight. Sunday Riley Luna |
2. SUNDAY RILEY Luna Sleeping Night Oil (Super Deluxe Size £46) (buy here!)
The very famous, very potent, Luna Oil is a retinol rich night time treatment formulated to help reduce lines and wrinkles whilst correcting signs of damage. Containing both Retinol and Blue Tansy, this a powerful skin soothing anti-inflammatory skincare gem that shall work to help reduce redness and calm stressed skin. It also tackles eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, rosacea and acne, which makes this ideal for any skin type. If you are worried about retinol being too harsh on your skin but you want all those benefits, this is the perfect way to get it in to your skin because with Luna, you experience zero sensitivity and dryness thanks to this amazing formulation. It is basically skin rehab.
Having discovered this amazing facial oil last year, it has fast become a product that I use often as I swear by it. I mean, even the bottle itself is stunning with it's luxurious, sophisticated yet minimalist look. The rich, inky blue oil is a very potent treatment that turns clear once on the skin so you won't turn blue, rest assured. The scent is unusual and may not appeal to all but when you see what this oil is capable of, you really won't care. You only need apply a few drops nightly as it is rich but without any greasiness or heaviness and works to hydrate and nourish your skin beautifully. Having already used this product for sometime, I can report back that Luna is 100% worth the money time and time again. My skin looks flawless when I add it into my routine and even at 'that time of the month' it seems untroubled and works even better to keep my skin looking clear, smooth, plumped and super radiant. It definitely works to reduce the look of lines and wrinkles because I have seen a great improvement to mine! In my opinion, Luna is most certainly worth the splurge because it works - making it very much money well spent.

3. AROMATHERAPY ASSOCIATES Light Relax Bath Oil (Full Size £48) (buy here!)
This is a Bath Oil like no other containing Lavender, Ylang Yang and Petitgrain, designed to help you unwind after a busy day. Just add it to your bath or shower for the most amazing experience.
I have featured Aromatherapy Associates many a time because I really am a Super fan. Their bath oils are in my opinion the best aromatherapy bath oils you can buy. Both myself and my husband have used them for years so you will always find a bottle in our bathroom. My No1 favourite is the Destress-Muscle bath oil but Light Relax is another firm favourite and perfect for helping you to unwind. The scent fills your whole house which is my favourite part about using them and I don't really like baths to be fair, but these oils make me love one! Aromatherapy oils have such a big impact on your mood and AA use some of the highest grade ingredients to ensure that you get the very best. I am so happy to see them once again as a true pamper session is not complete without them.

4. AMLY BOTANICALS Beauty Sleep Mist (Super Deluxe Size £36) (buy here!)
Amly Beauty Sleep is a restorative face mist filled with rejuvenating botanicals to support a natural healing sleep. This mist does a lot for your skin as well as helping you to sleep. It includes Snow Algae which activates overnight collagen production and cellular repair to help in the ageing process whilst Passionflower and Valerian Root relieve tension and essential oils such as Clary Sage help to calm your mind. Rose Quartz is also used to comfort and heal whilst working on fine lines and wrinkles.
I mean, this is a real life portion is it not? It is jam packed full of amazing ingredients that I for one surely want on my skin! AMLY even tell you to you give the bottle a good shake before use due to the high concentration of ingredients inside. You can apply this fragrant, fine mist to your face, neck or pillow to let the healing process begin. I previously tried the Radiance Boost mist from the March Spring Clean Mintd Box of which I wasn't a huge fan, mainly because of the scent, but this one, I can get on board with. Scent, ultimately dictates how much we use a product as we all like things to smell nice, especially at bed time. I have to say I love the bottle, the packaging, how fine the mist is and the cute 30 ml size is just perfect and really ideal for taking on a long haul flight! It is very rare to find a great facial product that is also designed to help you sleep so most definitely worth trying!

| Mintd Box October, Beauty Sleep, Goodnight. |
There really is nothing to dislike about this month's Goodnight box as all the products are designed to help us in so many ways and everyone would surely benefit from something in this selection. The Stars of the box for me have to be the Omorovizca Facial Polish and Sunday Riley Luna because they both give such instant skin results, but in truth everything has been a hit.
