Love Lula Beauty Box December

-
I can't believe it is already the last month of the year! I don't know about you but this year has gone in so quickly for me. 

December's Love Lula Beauty Box* arrived on Friday with another great selection of full sized and sample sized products, worth a combined value of £50! Also included in the box each month is a generous voucher code for 20% off any of the brands featured.

Let's take a closer look.....


The first product I grabbed straight out the box is the new perfume from Walden in rollerball form (£17 for 10ml). 'Tonic of Wilderness' has top notes of Bergamot, Grapefruit and Sour Orange, middle notes of Black Pepper, Cardamon and Cabreuva, and base notes of Iris Pallida and Ylang-ylang. This perfume is a lovely addition to the box and handy for popping in my bag to use when out and about.


From Soul Tree is a lovely Hand & Foot Cream (£14.03 for 100g). Packed with antioxidants and moisturising oils of organic sesame, coconut, apricot and almond and Kokum butters to soothe dry and cracked skin, keeping it soft and smooth. I'm always happy to see a hand cream in boxes as it is a product I use multiple times a day! 


Included in the box this month is not one but TWO Natural Castile Soaps from The Castilian Soap Company. Fragrance Free and Lavender (both £4.50 for 50ml) these are ideal for anyone with sensitive skin types or those looking for a hypo-allergenic alternative. We all know the culprit behind the extra hand washing this year so these will come in handy as I am going through hand washes so quickly these days.


From Ayumi is their Fairness Daily Intensive Facial Night Cream (£8.99 for 50ml) This night cream is designed to repair, plump and rehydrate skin overnight. Deeply moisturising sweet almond oil, turmeric, liquorice, papaya and extract are enriched with a cell-repairing amino acid complex to help brighten, balance and even skin tone. Great for anyone with marks, blemishes, age spots or pigmentations. I have liked all the body products I have used from this brand but I am unsure about this face cream as it does contain parfum, so I will need to do a patch test incase I react as I seem to be doing that alot lately with skincare products!



Last but not least is 2 sachets samples of Kiss the Moon Dream Night Cream for Feet. Made with nourishing shea butter and essential oils of Lavender, Bergamot, Cedarwood and Roman Chamomile, this foot cream will ease away tiredness and help skin heal and soften while you sleep. I love foot creams and don't think they appear often enough in boxes, so I am happy to try this one.



If you would like to sign up to get the Love Lula Beauty box for January you can buy here. Prices start at just £12.70 a month for a 12 month subscription, £14.95 for a monthly sub or a one off box can be purchased for £19.95.

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

-
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...
