Love Lula Beauty Box - January 2021

-

January's Love Lula Beauty Box* arrived with me earlier this month, packed with 4 full sized products, 2 travel sizes and a sachet sample. The value of this months box is £35. Subscriptions 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. There is also the option for a 3 month or 6 month subscription. Details here.
Also included each month is a voucher code for 20% off any of the brands featured that month, so a great way to try other products should a brand take your fancy.


Inside this months box is what I can only describe as essential everyday products, not a bad thing but also not what a lot of people was expecting for the first box of the year. That being said however, I have found a few favourites, read on to find out which products I liked best....



A soft and creamy hand cream, specially formulated to care for dry skin. This hand cream contains Altai sea buckthorn cream butter and amaranth oil, as well as Cranberry seed oil to nourish and deeply hydrate the skin. I have a smaller version of this cream which is almost finished so this one came at the right time! I love the scent of this cream and how nice my skin feels after use.


Fine and dull hair will gain a new lease of life with the powerful blend of ingredients (Hibiscus, turmeric, papaya, bergamot, pumpkin and mandarin to name a few) The shampoo will brighten and restore hair while the conditioner will deeply nourish and leave hair soft and shiney. I actually have the full size shampoo of this range already so it's nice to now have the conditioner to try alongside it.


This soothing and balancing balm is rich in anti-oxidants and vitamins, and is suitable for all skin types. This will be a great balm to use in the evenings as the lavender scent is relaxing so may help me to draft off to dream land.


This beautiful citrusy soap is the latest product from Moi Vert (subscribers are lucky enough to be the first to try!) Not only can it be used for your skin and hair, it can also be used for household cleaning! Think washing up, bathroom cleaner and washing the floor.... this delicious smelling multi use soap is a win for me. Great at cleaning up my muddy puppy print floors!


Hurraw! Lip Balm (£4.99, 4.3g)
These lip balms are made from premium all natural, vegan, raw, organic and fair-trade ingredients. They are super smooth, long lasting and taste yummy. You can't go wrong with a Hurraw! lip balm, and with over 60 balms to choose from there is a flavour to suit everyone!  I received Lime which is a fresh zesty scent.


Also included in the box is a sample of Madara Hydra Firm Hyaluron Concentrate Jelly, I have the full size of this product already but the sample will be handy for nights away from home (once lockdown restrictions allow)



My overall favourites from the box this month is the Natura Siberica hand cream and the Moi Vert Liquid Soap. What is your favourites??

Look Fantastic Beauty Box - March Unboxing

-
Image
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...
