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.

PureChimp Matcha Green Tea Review

-

I normally have 2 or 3 coffees a day but have been swapping my morning coffee for a PureChimp Matcha Green Tea *(50g £9.95) Purechimp offer 4 flavours. Regular, turmeric, mint or lemon matcha tea. I personally preferred the PureChimp Lemon Matcha Green Tea * (20g £4.95) over the regular Matcha. The taste is not unpleasant but does takes a bit of getting used too, especially if you are having it solely with water. You can enjoy Matcha in a variety of ways however...adding half a teaspoon into smoothies, juice or make a Matcha Latte. Recipe below. Matcha can also be added into home bakes just as cookies, brownies and pancakes. The possibilities are endless really. It's reccomemded you have 1-2 servings per day but up to 5 is fine. More than this will put you over the reccomended caffeine limit. Matcha Green Tea contains around 35mg of caffeine per serving. A serving is 1g (½ a level teaspoon). Benefits of Matcha Tea Over 50x the anti-oxidising

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

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
