Hurraw BalmToo Neroli Almond

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.
Marula seed oil: Pressed fruit kernels yield a rich oil loaded with antioxidants and sterols.
Indian almond oil: Liquid marzipan; it’s that amazing. Vitamins A and E pack a nourishing punch.


My Thoughts: Overall I really enjoy this balm, I've only needed to use a small amount at a time and have be concentrating on my knuckles as I think my use of alcohol sanitisers at work have been drying this area of my hands the most. The scent is amazing, my initial thought apon opening the tube was wow this smells like Battenburg Cake! I love it!

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

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
