Love Lula Beauty Box August*

-
It's the end of August already....how did that happen?! This month has really flown in as I have been so busy. My August box arrived to my work at just the right time this month. I had a week off work for wedding appointments for my upcoming wedding (October) plus a family wedding at the end of my weeks holiday. I had gone into work on the Tuesday to collect a parcel which contained my outfit for said wedding on the Friday (talk about last minute!) and low and behold there was my beauty box too! Perfect timing! Meant I didn't have to go in again later that week :)

Anyway enough rambling...lets look at the box...


First up is a product from a brand that features a lot in the beauty box (I'm always happy with this) Madara Eye Contour Cream (15ml £26) is a light yet deeply hydrating cream which reduces puffiness and dark circles around the eye area, and helps to smooth fine lines. I was happy to see this featured in the box as I am long overdue a new eye cream! The bottle is a pump dispenser so no need to dip fingers in a pot, and I haven't needed to use a full pump as a little goe

I was excited to see a product from Inika in the box, the Lip Glaze in 'Rosewood' (5ml £18) It is a beautiful shade and doesn't feel sticky on the lips. I have already taken up the 25% discount code included in the box for a powder foundation.

Laidbare In Safe Hands (50ml £6.99) this is a lovely light hand cream which is perfect for this time of the year while it's still warm out. It's a good travel size too so great for me taking to work as I prefer something that will fit nicely in my jacket pocket.

Natures Kitchen Gentle Therapy Rescue Cream (50ml £8.99) on first glance you might think this is another hand cream when really it is a multi purpose cream for all over the body, especially any dry patches or for skin prone to eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. A fairly new brand to Love Lula and one I have been meaning to try, will definitely look into a few more products from this brand.

Lastly is a sample sachet of Ayumi Tumeric Body Wash which I actually have the full size of already. Happy to have this to pop in the travel bag...hen party weekend away coming up soon!


Overall I like everything in this box, my favs being the Madara Eye Cream and Inika Lip Glaze. Did you get this box? What's your favourite product?

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
