Love Lula October Beauty Box

-
This month I was a bit late in opening my box. As I was on holiday from work due to my wedding and honeymoon, I had the box sent to my house instead of work where it usually goes. Of course I missed the postie the day it was delivered (Saturday) so collected it on the Monday which just so happened to be the day I was going on Honeymoon. I was so rushed off my feet making sure I had everything in my suitcase I needed that I had completely forgotten to open my box! It was fab having it for something to look forward to on my return home again however. Anyway enough rambling let's take a look at the contents of October's box.



From Dr Botanicals we have Cocoa & Coconut Superfood Reviving Hydrating Mask 30ml £9.90. containing cocoa butter and coconut oil it is said to hydrate, restore and protect the skin. This is just what my skin needs after being on holiday abroad and not drinking enough water! My skin is needing a hydration boost.

Laidbare Pack Your Bags 30ml £7.99 is a lightweight eye cream. Containing Buckwheat Wax to reduce puffiness and dark circles, Shea Butter to hydrate and Eyebright Extract to reduce redness and brighten the skin around eyes. This sounds like a really nice eye cream and happy to see another eye product in the box.

A new to me brand is Balmonds, here we have the Intensive Facial Oil 30ml £22.  This is a lovely smelling oil, made with a mix of lavender, rosehip oil, palmarosa, calendula and Roman Chamomile. This facial oil reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps to balance uneven skin tone. Looking forward to seeing the results from this oil.

The Last product in this month's box is one I already own so know it's a good one! Seascape Uplift Body Lotion 300ml £16. Containing beeswax and shea butter to nourish and protect the skin. It has a lovely energizing citrus scent due to lime and eucalyptus and lavender refreshes the senses.

Also included in the box is a sample of Mossa Glow Cocktail Serum. A brand I need to look into more!


Did you get this months box? What was your favourite product or which do you like the look of most? My favourite is the facial oil, I am getting more and more into using oils.

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. Included in every box is also a voucher code for 25% off any of the brands featured in that months box.

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. T...

Great weather calls for great sun protection with Alteya Orgaincs

Image
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 diffe...
