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.

Look Fantastic Beauty Box - March Unboxing

-

It has been ages since I've bought a Look Fantastic Beauty Box but after seeing some spoiler pictures on Facebook I decided to use my glossy credits to get this months box. Normally the box cost £15 including postage, with my glossy credits it took the price down a little to £9.35. The box this month is has a lovely white and blue design on top with a pinky purple base, which I will be keeping and reusing. It also comes with a copy of the latest Elle Magazine. From Rituals is Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk Soothing Hand Balm  70ml (£9.50)- a lovely floral lotion made with Shea Butter and Organic Rice Milk, the lotion replenishes and rejuvenates hands. Rituals are always a welcome brand I enjoy getting in boxes. Eos Lip Balm  7g (£6.50) in Strawberry Sorbet - Not actually a brand I've used before, but a handy balm to have in the makeup bag. Probably not something I would take out and about with me as I find the shape awkward for travel, I prefer small stick balms. This ba

Great weather calls for great sun protection with Alteya Orgaincs

-
Image
I'm loving the great weather we've been having so far this week....has summer finally arrived!? With temperatures up to 30 degrees in Scotland and soaring up to 38 in parts of England by Thursday, sun protection is a MUST if you are planning to leave your house even if all you do is sit in your garden. Really you should be using an SPF product daily regardless of the weather...yes even if its raining! As an outdoor worker (postwoman) a good SPF is top of my list all year round but especially at this time of year! Alteya Organics Whole Body Sunscreen * (£13.40 for 90ml) is enriched with emollient botanical butters and oils to hydrate the skin and protect against damaging UVA and UVB sun rays which cause sunburn and premature aging. So what is SPF and why do we need it? SPF or sun protection factor measures the level of protection a product will give you and how much longer it will take your skin to burn when wearing sunscreen vs not wearing sunscreen.

Sukin Blemish Control Kit

-

My skin is quite prone to spots and blemishes so I really wanted to find a product that would help to control breakouts and reduce the redness I have. I've used Sukin products before but never knew they had a blemish control range until recently. The  Sukin Blemish Control Kit * (£19.95) contains 4 products to help calm and clear the skin, three are 50ml and one is 15ml so decent sized samples, and handy for travelling with. Clearing Facial Wash purifies the skin while removing dirt and impurities with Quince and Pomegranate. Pore Perfecting Toner refines and refreshes the skin with Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Mint. Spot Banishing Gel helps to fight breakouts with Willowherb, Salicylic Acid and Eculyptus, while the  Oil Free Moisturiser clarifies and balances the skin with Willowherb, Quince and Moringa. Willowherb is said to fight the causes of blemishes in just 30 minutes! And while I didn't see a huge improvement that quickly, I did notice a big difference withi
