Hurraw BalmToo Neroli Almond *  (£29, 30ml) With all the hand washing and hand sanitiser getting used recently my hands are especially dry and cracked. Hurraw to the rescue! BalmToo is a fairly new product to Love Lula so when I saw it advertised I wanted to put it to the test as I thought it would be perfect for my skin at the moment. BalmToo is not a lotion it is a balm so only a small amount is needed. It is a true balm (no water or hydrogenated 'butters') that melts into skin and absorbs quickly. It can be applied anywhere you wish... face, fingers, neck, toes!  Bee free, Shea free, Soy free and Palm free, BalmToo comes in a squeezable aluminum tube, which is 100% recyclable. The balms are available in 6 different scents. I chose Neroli Almond, which is has sweet Orange Blossom scent with nutty undertones from almond oil, along with marula oil and argan oil.  Argan kernel oil: An oil superstar. Hydrating, nourishing with quick absorption. Maru...

April's Love Lula Beauty Box* arrived a few days ago and combined the products are worth £57! Let's dive right in and see whats included this month. Madara Hyaluronic Collagen Booster Ampoules (£29.90, 10x 3ml) Possibly the star product of the box, the Madara Hyaluronic Collagen Booster Ampoules are enriched with natural hyaluronic acid and moisturising plant sugars that improve the condition of mature, very dry, tight, demanding and thinning skin. The product targets fine lines and the signs of skin ageing by boosting plumpness and stimulating the protein structure of the skin. There is enough here for a 10 day treatment course, after which 2-3 times per week will be enough to support the effects. There is a fair amount of product in these ampoules so I can use just 1 for morning and night. A great product overall and not something I would of thought to buy for myself. Nature's Kitchen Berry Beautiful Skin Polish (£12.99, 100ml) Packed with s...

With all that is going on in the world right now with Covid-19 I am, like many others, washing my hands constantly! Although I have a few soap bars in my stash, I do prefer to use liquid soaps. It also makes it easier when I'm at work (postie over here for those that don't know me). Once I leave the delivery office there are few places I can wash my hands, especially now that pubs and restaurants are closed. So I take a small squeezy bottle and fill it with liquid soap, a bottle of water and a small towel... and hey presto! My own little washing station on the go! This month while searching for my next liquid soap to try I came across Alteya Certified Organic Liquid Soap, so I picked up the Grapefruit & Orange Liquid Soap * (£7.65, 250ml) Suitable for daily use, this safe and non-toxic certified organic liquid soap gently and effectively cleans skin, leaving hands feeling smooth and moisturized. Main Ingredients: Coconut oil – provides a unique combin...
