LoveLula September 2017 Beauty Box

My LoveLula beauty box arrived the other day which is always super exciting! This months box is worth £50 and contains a gift set, 2 full sized products, 1 travel sized product and a sample set. It costs £13.95 a month and you can sign up here. 

Walden Natural Perfume Gift Set 5 x 5ml - £30

First of all I just wanted to comment on how much I LOVE the packaging. It's so minimal and clean looking, which is something I personally find very aesthetically pleasing. These perfumes are a great natural alternative, and whilst they may take some getting used to, it's definitely worth reducing the amount of chemicals that you spray on your skin. The only thing is that these do not come with a spray, so the only option is to dab a little bit on the wrists and hope that the whole bottle doesn't come out in the process. 

Esse Gel Cleanser 10ml 

This facial wash claims to deep cleanse without drying the skin out, and also contains peppermint and spearmint oils which are two of my favourites. I've only just started to clear my skin up, so I'm slightly concerned about trying this out, although it does say it's suitable for acne prone skin. 

Balm Balm Beauty Balm - £16.50

This balm can be used as a cleanser, exfoliator and moisturiser, and is suitable for all skin types. It smells amazing and is 100% organic. I'll probably use this as a make up remover and see how I get on with it. 

Kimberly Sayer Sample Set 

This is a great way to try out products before you commit to buying them. They're also great for travelling with!

Joik Bath Truffle 

I've never used anything like this before so I'm really excited to try it out. It contains very few ingredients and smells delicious!

Avocado Oil | Review

Today's post is all about this organic Avocado Oil. I personally love avocados, so I was really intrigued to use it as a beauty product. I actually took this picture way back in May, so I've had quite a few months of using this product. 

You get 50ml for £11.50 which I personally think is pretty good value. It contains one ingredient (avocado oil) and the bottle is made from glass, which is great if you're trying to reduce your plastic waste. 

The oil itself kind of smells like olive oil, but looks darker. It soaks into the skin very quickly and doesn't leave a horrible oily feel for hours after. I personally use it on the tops of my legs as the skin there is very dry.  I have keratosis pilaris on my legs as well, and I've definitely noticed an improvement with this. 

Overall this is a great oil to use if you have dry/very dry skin.

LoveLula August 2017 Beauty Box

Long time no talk! As you've probably noticed, I haven't been blogging for a few months due to personal reasons aka I've been going through a really difficult time. But, on a more positive note, I'm going to try and get back to posting regularly. 

To start off the whole blogging thing again, I thought it'd be great to share the contents of the latest LoveLula beauty box. I actually received this whilst I was away in America, so it's technically last months box but the new one isn't out yet so that's okay.

Anyway, the total value of the August box was £55, which as always is very good value when the box itself costs £13.95 a month. There are 5 products in total, 4 of which are full size and the other one is a handy 30ml. You can sign up here.

PHB Ethical Beauty Natural Organic Pencil Eyeliner in Brown - £10.95

I was super happy to see this eyeliner in this box as PHB Ethical Beauty's one of my favourite brands! I wear the black version everyday so I know I'll get a lot of use out of this one and it works well.

Balm Balm Chamomile Floral Water Hydrosol 30ml - £8.50

I'm really excited to try this out as I love so many other products by Balm Balm and all of the ingredients are organic. I think I'll try spraying this on my bed linen to help me sleep better (yay jet lag!!!). 

Glossworks Nail Polish and 3-in-1 Coat - £12 each

This nail polish brand is new to LoveLula, which explains why I haven't heard of it before! It contains no 'Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Toluene, DBP, Camphor, Paraben, Xylene, Ethyl Tosylamide or Lead and is 100% Vegan.' The pink colour isn't really my cup of tea to be completely honest, but I will get use out of the 3-in-1 coat. 

Beauty Brews Bloom - Apple & Aniseed Organic Tea 50g - £9.50

This tea smells incredible, and whilst I usually just stick to my peppermint tea, I really did like the taste of this! It was also kind of fun making my tea without a tea bag (idk why). It contains orange peel, aniseed, cloves and cinnamon, as well as blackberry and peppermint leaves. If you're looking to experiment more with different teas then I would definitely recommend this brand!
