This is how the Inner Circle box came packaged within a larger cardboard shipping box. Inside there is a pamphlet detailing all of the products!
1) Primavera Energizing Ginger Lime Hand Cream - "Tap into the power of plant oils as ginger warms and energizes while lime gives you an uplifting attitude adjustment. This cream nourishes your nails and cuticles while exhilarating your senses with every application for hands that are velvety soft, never slippery".

Just as the description says, this lotion smells like lime with nice ginger after scents and has a very velvety texture. It goes on very smoothly and does not leave your hands feeling greasy. This will be a new go-to for me, as it fits well inside purses and my backpack and applies easily. I can write after applying this lotion without having my pen slide in my hand, which is a huge bonus on those winter days when I am stuck in a dry classroom. This was a full size product but does contain fragrance (parfum) which is a huge red flag and rates 8 on EWG. However, I will continue using this product when my hands do not have eczema flare ups, as fragrance does not tend to affect them when they are healed.
2) ilike Lemon Cleansing Milk sample- "Remove makeup and impurities for clear complexion without disturbing your skin's natural pH as you enjoy the fresh, lemony scent. Bring something very special from Hungary into caring for your skin with ilike".

This cleaner is a milk, which means that it is preferred for those with dry or sensitive skin. My face and neck and riddled with eczema, especially under my eyes and around my mouth/nose. This cleanser was pleasant in that it did not burn my rough, sore eczema but instead soothed it while giving off a nice lemon scent. After I pressed my face into a towel, it did not leave my skin feeling taught and stretched afterwards, the way that some cleansers will. I did not notice any outstanding qualities for dry skin relief, and when I put on my Badger Damascus Rose Balm after, my skin was very itchy. This may be because of the summer heat though, which has a tendency to make my eczema itch, so I do not attribute that to the cleanser. Overall, it was lovely but a few more tries are necessary to see if it is actually helpful for my skin problems. Be cautious if against salicylic acid (4 on EWG)
3) The Body Deli Body Lotion - "You can never have enough body lotion - especially in the summer!

Tahitian Vanilla, Coconut Creme, Thai Lemongrass, Amber Vanilla and Jasmine Tuberose - oh my!

Yes, I am definitely hungry for more. This creme smells incredible - very coco-nutty and light yet moisturizing for my dry body. I have used it on my dry hands and it goes on nicely. It is extremely fragrant, so keep that in mind when using. I also tried it on my neck where my eczema was abundant and it did not burn or itch, and instead provided relief and was quite moisturizing. The ingredients are very interesting and generally very natural and clean, although sodium benzoate did score a 3 on EWG.
4) W3LL PEOPLE Bio Extreme Lip Gloss - "Encased in an uber lux, frosted tube with want applicator for ease and precision, the tingly blend of wintergreen, spearmint, and star anise will provide soothing nourishment to your summer parched lips.

I am not a fan of any mint flavoured lip product, at all. But I was pleasantly surprised with this lip gloss, as the mint flavours are very subtle. It is perfect for those who like a bit of scent in their gloss without being overwhelmed. The gloss goes on nicely and smoothly to the lips without any previous product. However, when I layer this gloss on overtop Honeybee Gardens lipstick, the applicator felt rough and the gloss was hard to apply. It is hard to describe how it felt, but I kept having to dip my applicator back into the gloss for more for an adequate layer of shine over my lipstick as the amount on the applicator was not enough for even half of my lips. It did look incredible over a lipstick though, offering just the right amount of shine to ensure my wet lips through the day. May contain titanium dioxide and iron oxides.
5) Vapour Aura Multi Use Blush - "Multipurpose products just make sense and this one is quintessential for those hot months when you are showing more skin. Infused with antioxidants and just the right amount of sparkle, swipe #225 Mystic over cheeks, eyelids, lips, shoulders, or décolleté for instant wow factor".
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Oil*, Cera Alba (Beeswax)*, Silica, Castor Isostearate Beeswax Succinate†, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Essential Oils & Natural Fruit Essences, Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E), Boswellia Carteri (Frankincense)‡, Ocimum Sanctum (Tulsi/Holy Basil)*, Nelumbo Nucifera (Lotus) Flower Petals* [+/-: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499), Mica (CI 77019), Carmine (CI 75470)]
This blush is very shimmery and sheer, so be careful if you are looking for a more pigmented gloss. Since it does come in stick form, you will need to buff it out with either your fingers or a trusted brush. It has a very pretty pink - yet bright- with purple shimmer undertones. I felt that it showcased my flaws on my cheeks, but that may be because it is my first time using a creme type blush. It has a lot of glitter and iridescent shimmer, so beware if you are into matte blushes.
