Love Lula Beauty Box - October

-

October's Love Lula Beauty Box* is worth a whopping £55! Containing 2 full sized products, 2 deluxe travel sizes plus a sachet. Also included in the box as a generous 20% off discount code to use against any of the brands featured in the box. Monthly subscriptions for Love Lula Beauty box is £14.95 or £19.95 for a one off box. Full details of subscriptions can be found here. Let's take a look at the contents....


First up and new from Ooh Oils of Heaven is their Baobab Oil (£19, 30ml) which is rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9 making it ideal for maintaining healthy skin. Can be used alone or on top of your usual moisturiser. Ooh Oils are always a welcome sight to the boxes, they are lovely to use and absorb nicely onto skin.

Greenfrog Botanic Shampoo Bar with Argan & Rose is a generous 23g sample (£4.95, 50g). This shampoo bar will nourish, hydrate and deeply cleanse your hair. My hair felt soft and looked healthy after using this bar. There is currently three different scents available on Love Lula, all of them sound lovely so I will be trying out more in the future.

From Balm Balm is the Frankincense Deep Cleansing Balm (£9.50, 30ml) and Muslin Cloth (£9 pack of 3) Made with Shea butter, Beeswax, Sunflower and Jojoba to lift impurities from the skin, Calendula to soothe, Frankincense to rejuvenate and Grapefruit to refresh skin. I have used this balm before and really enjoyed using it.

The product I'm most excited about it Madara Shape Caffeine-Maté Cellulite Cream (£17, 100ml) which has a lovely citrusy smell. This cream will hydrated and tone the skin for a firmer and smoother appearance. Who doesn't need that?! Enriched with stimulating Caffeine and extracts of Horse Chestnut, Spirulina and Maté Tea, the formula delivers a power effect, activating circulation in your hips, thighs, tummy and upper arms. Time will tell if this makes a difference to the cellulite on my thighs!

Finishing off the box is a sachet of Antipodes Glow Ritual Vitamin C Serum. A light brightening serum for luminous, dewy skin and protection from environmental damage. I spied this serum as soon as it landed on the Love Lula website, so I'm looking forward to trying this. Vitamin C is great for the skin.

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...
