The Cruelty Free Beauty Box February Review

-
The Cruelty Free Beauty Box is one of those boxes I keep going back to (despite trying to cut down on spending!) In the past I've always recieve such a good mix of products, and this months box is no exception. This box costs just £14.99 a month, with this particular months box being worth £43.61 





 Pure Purpose Green Tea Balm (£20, 60ml)
When I saw this amazing healing balm in the box I did a little happy dance. I have acne prone skin and anything that may help reduce redness is a win for me! Formulated with mango, green tea & kokum butters, along with black cumin and hazelnut oil, this balm is perfect to heal and soothe problem skin as well as being a great moisturiser for sensitive or dry skin. I noticed a big difference to redness around my chin with just the first application.


 Phase Zero Make Up-Coconut Eyeshadow - Lucky Penny (£6.50 2.3ml) A highly pigmented liquid eyeshadow made with coconut water. Not something I've seen before, so it's great to get a chance to try this kind of product. It drys quickly and metallic colour lasts without fading. I recieved a coppery colour, there are 4 different shades available to buy on TCFBB website.

Urban Veda Radiance Body Lotion (£3, 50ml)
I've used many Urban Veda products before (face scrub being my favourite) and always happy to see them in boxes. This body lotion is packed with Ayurvedic ingredients such as turmeric to improve skin tone, liquorice to restore suppleness, sweet almond oil to moisturise and patchouli to reduce scarring.


 Friendly Soap Orange & Grapefruit (£2.11,
A very refreshing soap handmade with Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Olive Oil, Orange & Grapefruit essential oils and water. No palm oil or nasties included. Smells lovely and lasts ages! I have a peppermint & poppyseed soap bar already and it's still going strong.

 Medusa's Make Up-XOXO Perfume Oil (£12, 10ml)
My favourite product from this box. It smells soooo good! Love the rollerball applicator also. Decribed as a mix of golden amber and Egyptian musk intermingled with sparkling citrus, lily of the valley, pink jasmine and warm woods. A very subtle but delightful fragrance.

Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask

-

One thing I love about skincare products is a good face mask...who doesn't am I right?! I was very excited this month to be given a chance to test out the Aura Manuka Honey Mask from Antipodes. It is suitable for most skin types, but especially great for blemish prone skin, so perfect for my skin type...in theory. The Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask * is £26.99 and comes in a 75ml foil tube inside a cardboard box (which can both be recycled!) As a little goes a long way, I can see this mask lasting a good amount of time. Containing a blend of Manuka Honey, Avocado oil, Carrot oil, Grape Seed extract, Pohutukawa flower extract and vitamin E alongside essential oils of vanilla and mandarin, this face mask is sure to leave skin soothed and deeply hydrated. Pohutukawa (known as the New Zealand Christmas tree because it flowers gloriously in December) contains antioxidants which help neutralize free radicals, while Manuka Honey contains anti bacterial properties to hel

March Love Lula Beauty Box

The March Love Lula Beauty Box* contains 6 products from brands including Balm Balm, Ayumi, Madara and Soul Tree, with the contents having a total value of £52 which is fantastic value for this box. Love Lula are making some changes to their monthly subscription which will be coming to an end in May. I will miss the surprise treat every month but don't panic! Love Lula will be making the boxes available to purchase on the store individually as opposed to being subscription-based. This provides the opportunity for future Beauty Boxes to be curated with a more defined theme or purpose, which sounds exciting to me and I can't wait to see what the coming months will bring. Anyway....back to the box in hand.... Balm Balm Super Light Coconut Cleanser (£15, 100ml) This gentle cleanser is made from blended coconut oils which have been mechanically extracted from virgin coconut butter making it a super light oil. It can be used on sensitive skin including the eye area making it perfect
