It is hard to believe we are already half way through the year, time really is flying! I am rounding up June with the Love Lula Beauty Box* which contains 4 full sized products worth a total of £63! Here is a look at the contents.... Humble By Nature Sweet Pea & Verbena Hand Cream 75ml £8.00 Created by TV presenter Kate Humble, this hand cream has a delicate fragrance of Lemon and Verbena, with notes of Jasmine with a woody base. Blended with cocoa butter and shea butter, the hand cream is moisturising and smells delicious. Kathleen Natural Citrus Cheer Bubble Bath & Shower Gel 150ml £18 With Lemon, Rosewood and Geranium essential oils, this is a zesty citrus bubble bath & shower gel which cleanses, hydrates, and balances the skin without dry it out. I have tried all the Bath & Shower Gels from Kathleen Natural and this is by far my favourite fragrance. Elsa's Organic Skinfood Detox Natural Deodorant 60g £18 A Charcoal and Bentonite Clay infuse...

I have to admit I have never really used sun protection on my face as I have always found sun creams to be too thick and sticky for my face, and honestly I don't like the feel of them on my skin. The most sun protection my face has seen has come from foundations or bb creams with added SPF. There are a lot of facial moisturisers on the market now with SPF, many of which have been around for years, I have just never really looked into them before now. One such product that has been around for ages is Kimberly Sayer Ultra Light Organic Facial Moisturiser *, which has an SFP of 30. Having been testing this moisturiser out over the last few weeks I am annoyed at myself for not looking into it earlier! It is truly lovely. The Kimberly Sayer Ultra Light Organic Facial Moisturiser comes in a 120ml bottle and costs £28.30, which I think is a decent price for the amount of product you are getting. I like that the bottle clearly shows how much product is left, and the air locked pump dispe...

Looking for a natural, plastic free deodorant? Ben & Anna have got you covered! Ben & Anna Natural Deodorants contain no aluminum, PEG’s, Parabens or Phtalate. Are vegan, cruelty-free & gluten-free, as well as being certified natural & organic. The deodorants are suitable for both men and women...they offer many varieties to choose from including a fragrance free stick if you prefer to stay away from scented products. These anti-bacterial deodorants contain Maranta Arundinacea Root Powder (arrow root for short) to help absorb moisture to keep you dry and sodium- bicarbonate to neutralise odour, keeping you smelling fresh all day. Ben & Anna Natural deodorants are available in either paper tubes or metal tins, both of which are fully recyclable. I've chosen to try three of the scents which come in metal tins, each priced at £7.95 for 45g. Vanilla Orchid  is a lightly floral but sweet scent. I love the vanilla fragrance, it's a sc...

My latest Beauty Pie box is here. This is my 3rd box, see my previous boxes HERE and HERE . I started off on a £10 monthly plan which gives me £100 spending limit, however after I placed this order I upgraded to £15 (£150 limit) and I am letting it roll over for another month so I can then purchase one large order with £300 credit! Every product on the site shows the 'Typical Price' which is the normal retail price, this price comes off your spending limit/credit and the 'Members Price' which is what you as a member pay to buy the product. Prices vary daily for products depending on a number of factors.  Here is what I got in my box. Jeju Rehydration Mist+ 100ml £11.86 This was the 'Pie Day' product for May, which means you can buy the product without using up any of your spending allowance. Pie days happen 3-4 times a year, or more for annual members. With hydrating hyaluronic acid, energizing bamboo grass, antioxidant Jeju yoshino b...

I have so many beauty products so I am going to do my best to use up more of my products before buying more (minus current subscriptions boxes of course). Here is a round up of the products I used up over the last 4-5 weeks. Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Conditioner Like/Dislike: I liked this conditioner but didn't feel like it repaired my hair in any way. Buy again? Probably not Ayumi Intensive Hair Conditioning Treatment Like/Dislike: Loved the scent of this conditioner and my hair was left soft. Buy again?: Yes Kathleen Tonifying Mist Like/Dislike: I liked this mist, its refreshing and the bottle lasts ages! Buy Again? Yes but I already have another one in my stash :) Lovegrove Essentials Toning Mist Like/Dislike: I actually used this up in my last empties post here but I must of forgotten to throw the bottle out and its been mixed up in with my recent empties! I enjoyed this mist and will be looking into other products from the...
