Every day essentials with We Love The Planet & John Masters Organics

-
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 is fab seeing as I have an active job. I would definitely recommend this brand and will be buying other scents in future to try.


I couldn't resist picking up this lip balm from John Masters Organics in 'Pumpkin Spice'* (£6.00) Autumn is all about getting cosy indoors and drinking pumpkin spice lattes courtesy of Starbucks, which I did lots of on my recent hen party weekend to London. When I noticed this flavour on the website I knew I had to try it! A combination of pumpkin, ginger and cinnamon spices which tastes delicious. Ingredients such as jojoba oil, olive oil and borage oil will add moisture and hydration to the lips whilst protecting from the cold and wind.
 
My Thoughts: Pumpkin, Ginger & Cinnamon whats not to like! I love all of these spices separately and combined they work perfectly. The lip balm itself is nourishing and leaves my lips soft and kissable....perfect to keep my lips in great condition for my upcoming wedding and that all important first kiss!


Pumpkin Spice Latte - My fav!

Look Fantastic Beauty Box - March Unboxing

Image
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. T...

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

-
Image
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 diffe...
