I was quite excited to receive this product to trial for two reasons, 1 to see how it would help me to save space when packing and how the products would react with my skin. I had been wanting to try-out this skin care range but didn't want to spend a huge amount of money and then have it not work well with my skin. Well on both counts I have not been disappointed!!!
We went away for the this past weekend for a mini break and this little stack took such a small amount of space in my toiletry back, fantastic!!! I had everything I needed skin care wise without having to carry around multiple bulky bottles! A win in my books.
I really love how Evolu have thought of everything when putting together this stack. And of course I love the fact that the pottles are re-fillable so that I can continue to use them when I travel, yes!
With regards to the actual products, I really have had no complaints, let me go through them:
Relaxing Creme Cleanser: Oh wow, I just love how this made my skin feel whilst cleansing and after. It tightened my pores and made my skin feel clean and healthy.
Renewing Facial Exfoliator: Oooh goodness gracious me, I loved this - the exfoliating beads were just big enough to feel like I was getting a good scrub but gentle enough to not make my skin feel like it was being torn apart!
Soothing Eye Gel: I really enjoyed this product, it was light and didn't make my under eye area feel greasy and slimy.
Balancing Day Cream: I was at first a little upset as to how this cream made my skin feel right after applying, my skin felt tight and not moisturised enough, however after about 10 minutes my face felt amazing and I had no issues with dry spots (something I have been battling with lately) or my skin feeling greasy.
Balancing Overnight Cream: I had the same issues initially with this product that I had with the day cream, but again after about 10 minutes that feeling went away.
Nourishing Hand Cream: Loved this, it is light and moisturised my hands nicely without leaving them feeling greasy.
I of course LOVED the fresh clean botanical smell of all of the products. I am so happy with the results I have seen on my skin over the last two weeks that I am definitely going to be starting off with getting the range together! I have finished everything but the eye gel and am so sad!!! Farmers here I come!!!
A neatly presented and very handy product that is small enough to take anywhere! The only downside to presentation was that for the more OCD amongst us, the labels on the wee pots do not line up with done up. Yes yes I know to most that wont seem too big a deal at all ....and that is great news for the product. Having an extra lid included is a great idea and means that you can take just a few minis with you and leave the rest at home or, depending on your travel storage, split the tower in two.
Due to the size of the tower pottles, I cannot vouch for the efficacy of the contents as long term skin care products but certainly if you are off for a weekend (maybe even a long weekend) they are large enough to do the trick.
The relaxing creme cleanser and renewing facial exfoliator were a little more strongly scented than is my preference but I am sure that most would probably find them just fine. The soothing eye gel was my favourite product of the lot and I found myself using it frequently both at home and on weekends away. Just a small amount on the fingertip is more than enough. My next favourite was the Nourishing hand creme which came in very handy given I have spent considerable time in the garden of late and didnt always have time to do the whole 'tend to the skin' routine before I headed off for the weekend. The Balancing day and night creams were both lightly scented and left my skin feeling soft without being greasy.
Whether in my toilet bag or in my handbag (yes it really is compact enough that you can easily pop it in your handbag incase you 'might not be home tonight' ladies), I had no spillage issues and no hint of lids coming even slightly loose.
Overall I found the Evolu Travel Tower to be an excellent product (and eco-friendly too) that can be refilled and reused as often as you like, I know I will certainly be doing so with mine.
Tips: If you are going to reuse the travel tower I would suggest that you refill with good quality products that can be used sparingly and spread well or you may find yourself running out of skincare product mid-trip.
