Latest In Beauty - My May Picks

-
I have been getting Latest in Beauty (LIB) on and off for 5 or 6 years now, more so recently as they have multiple products I've been tempted by! Each month you can choose from a selection of full sized and sample sized products. Products are added daily so always different things to choose from. They offer 3 different options - a 3 product box for £9, a 6 product box for £15 and a 9 product box for £18. I have gone for the 6 product box.

Here are my picks for this month...

As you can see I have a quite a few full sizes in there which is fab value for money!
I've gone for a mix of products to focus on the whole body.

Murad Age Reform AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser 200ml  £38 - The hall of fame product for May so I had to grab it. I have many products from this brand and you can't go wrong with Murad in my opinion.
Soaper Duper Fruity Green Tuberose Bod Scrub 250ml £9.50 - I have this scrub already but enjoy it so got another to add to my stash! why not?
Argentum La Potion Infinie Super Hydrating Body Cream 200ml £84 - This product sold out super fast and no wonder why, have you seen the price!! From French brand, this body lotion is presented in a sleek black bottle, which looks great on the dressing table, and smell divine!
Tisserand Aromatherapy Lavender & Chamomile Body Mist 100ml £8.95 - A great calming spray to use before bed or just to unwind in the evenings.
Little Butterfly London Blossoms in Spring Illuminating Day Cream 12.5ml £12 - This brand is specifically designed for expectant or breastfeeding mothers as it contains no nasties that may harm babies (whilst I am neither I can still enjoy it) Containing botanical extracts and vitamins to optimise skin rejuvenation, this is a lovely lightweight cream.
Balance Me Hyaluronic Plumping Mist 10ml worth £6 - Another brand I have used many times before. Used to brighten and balance skin, this mist will be the perfect size for travel or popping in the handbag to spritz whenever needed.

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

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. Alteya's Whole

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
