Love Lula Beauty Box May

-
When this month's Love Lula Beauty Box* landed in the office I knew it was a good one...the box was so heavy!
On first opening I had mixed feelings - good because I saw things I liked, and bad as I saw a product I already own....but that's not Love Lula's fault!

This month we have 4 fulled sized products and 1 sample. 

I will start with the product that put a smile on my face Madara Re:gene Lifting Mask (60ml £35) I was eyeing this mask up on another beauty box where you pick your own products but by time I chose my box it had gone out of stock. So glad I can try this mask out. Said to restore lost volume, plump skin and smooth wrinkles.

Ayumi Sandalwood & Ylang Ylang Body Scrub (200ml £6.99) New to Love Lula, this scrub gently cleanses and exfoliates skin. The scent I found to be quite manly, possibly due to the Sandalwood, but I don't dislike it. Definately going to look at other products from this brand.

Joik Pastel Pink Silky Lip Balm (7g £6) I love Joik as a brand but have only really used their skincare in the past so It's nice to see a tinted balm. With Cocoa butter, babassu, avocado ans jojoba oils to nourish the lips. Leaves a nice shine on the lips, and perfect for everyday use.

The one product I already own (bought a few months ago) is Seascape Island Apothecary Refresh Hand Lotion (300ml £16) This is a huge hand lotion that comes in a pump dispenser bottle, which makes it very handy to have sitting next to the sink for using after washing hands. I wasn't overly keen on the scent (Lavender, Lemongrass and Geranium) but I'm sure my guests will like it, so it has been placed in my downstairs cloakroom. We did get a Seascape hand cream in December's Love Lula box, which was the same scent, but smells completely different for some odd reason!

Also included in the box is a 7ml sample sachet of Vestige Verdant Peat Mask (50ml is £39) which I've yet to use but I like the sound of it....deep detoxify, restore natural PH and improve skin texture, with brightening and anti-aging benefits.


Overall I was happy with this month's box and will be taking full advantage of the 25% discount code included in the box.

Subscriptions are £14.95 for a monthly rolling sub or you can save up to 15% by buying a longer term subscription. You can sign up Here.

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
