I'm a little late to share my thoughts on this months box, I promise next month I will be better! Once my wedding is over I expect to have more time to blog. Love Lula Beauty Box* is £14.95 for a recurring monthly subscription, or £19.95 for a one off box. You can sign up HERE . The box this month contains 3 full sized products, 1 delux travel size and 1 sachet sample from Urban Veda. I received the  Reviving Body Wash which is perfect for travel. Let's take a closer look at the box contents.... Madara features in many boxes, but they still have many products I've not yet tried. This was one of them. Infusion Vert Body Cream (£17, 200ml) is a lovely rich cream that is sure to nourish and hydrate the skin. I love the scent and think I prefer it to Madara Supreme Hydration lotion I received back in the January box. Balm Balm Little Miracle Cleanser  (£12, 30ml) is the newest addition to the little miracle range. We have received the 30ml bottle, but it a...

After all I can't have lovely pictures of my new Wedding ring if my hands are in bad shape can I? The solution is this Art Deco 'We're For Hands' Handcare Gift Set (£34.95) from The Handmade Soap Company . The set comes in a cardboard gift box with the products displayed through a window. Unfortunately mine was ripped slightly so I didn't include a picture of the products in the box. I didn't mind as it is the products I want intact after all, the packaging just goes straight to recycling. One thing I must mention about The Handmade Soap Company is the packaging is made from recycled card and printed using vegetable derived inks which is a great step in being mindful of the planet and helping future generations. As you can see from the below picture, there are 3 products in the gift set. Hand Cream, Cuticle O...

This month as part of my Love Lula picks I chose a couple of every day essentials, as I was running low on the basics - which is never a good thing! We Love The Planet is a fairly new brand to Lovelula. They specialize in certified natural deodorants which can be purchased in either a cardboard pushup tube or tin form. I went for the 'Forever Fresh' Deodrant * (£8.99) in the tin, which is a lovely blend of citrus oils and herbs. The cream form deodorants contain natural ingredients such as beeswax, coconut oil and cornstarch power, no synthetic ingredients are used so great for your skin and the planet. My Thoughts : I found the deodorant to be clean scented similar to freshly washed clothes, which I really liked.  I personally found the cream to be a little gritty at first, but once I rubbed it into my skin it absorbed nicely and no bits were left on top of the skin. I was left smelling fresh all day and never once felt I needed to reapply throughout the day, which ...
