LoveLula October 2017 Beauty Box

This month's LoveLula Beauty Box was definitely the best (in my opinion)! The total value is £44 and you get some really great products for that price. You can sign up here. I've been using all of these products over the past week and genuinely love all of them!

PHB Ethical Beauty Eye Shadow Brush - £7.95

PHB Ethical Beauty is one of my favourite brands, so I was SO happy to see two of their items in this months box. This brush is 100% vegan and is very soft. I've been using it to blend my lower lash line as it's too small to blend in the crease properly. It would also be a great brush to highlight the brow bone! 

PHB Ethical Beauty Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow - Almond - £9.95

I already own a few of their eyeshadows so I knew that I was going to love this. It's perfect for highlighting the brow bone, inner corner of the eye and as a face highlighter! 

Glossworks Nail & Cuticle Oil 9ml - £12

I've been using this every night and have definitely noticed a difference in my nails and cuticles. It uses only natural ingredients and is rich in vitamin A, D and E. 

Ooh! - Oils of Heaven Natural Tamanu Rejuvenating Face Oil Travel Size 15ml - £9.50

Tamanu oil is rich in Omega 6 and Omega 9, making it ideal for enhancing healthy skin. It is an outstanding moisturiser. Tamanu oil has a nutty smell and is absorbed easily into the skin without clogging up pores. It's also suitable for scars and stretch marks, so I've been massaging it onto the scar on my leg. 

Greenfrog Botanic Body wash - mini - Geranium & Peppermint 100ml - £3.90

This smells incredible and I love the travel size bottle. I'll be taking it away with me over the coming weeks even though I've already started to use it! It contains no nasty chemicals, 0% SLS, 0% Parabens, is vegan certified and cruelty free certified and contains no palm oil.

Trying Out Natural Products

Today's post is all about five natural beauty products that I've been trying out over the past month. They're kind of random, and range from dental, to bath oil to lip balm. They're all made from natural and organic ingredients, and can be found at LoveLula. 

Organii Aloe Mouthwash Eucalyptus - 500ml - £5.95

First of all we have this organic and natural mouthwash. It's suitable for vegans and is free from artificial preservatives. It's more expensive than say a mouthwash that you'd get on offer from Tesco, but it is organic and contains no nasty ingredients. You get what you pay for basically. I did like this, but for me I couldn't get on with the flavour. I normally like a minty mouthwash, and the whole aloe eucalyptus combination just didn't do it for me. It did make my teeth feel very clean though and wasn't harsh at all! 

Green People Peppermint Toothpaste 50ml - £3.95

Another dental product is this fluoride free, organic and vegan friendly toothpaste. Again it's more expensive than 'normal' toothpaste, but I personally think it's worth spending extra on natural products, especially when they're going in your mouth. I loved the peppermint flavour of this and my teeth feel so clean and fresh after using it. It will take some getting used to if you're switching over from Colgate for example, as the consistency, colour and flavour are quite different. It is worth changing over to and investing in a natural dental routine!

The Rose Tree Calming Bath & Shower Oil with Rose & Ylang Ylang - Heart Bottle 40ml - £18

This is definitely a luxury item (in my opinion) and is perfect for pamper/self care evenings. The bottle is super cute and can be re-used for something (yay for no plastic), and is of course vegan friendly. It's also free from the usual SLS and other chemicals. The scent is quite strong so you definitely don't need to put much in the bath and this bottle will last you a long time. I also love combining it with bath salts for full relaxation. 

Lucky Cloud Skincare Coconut Lip Butter 10ml - £4.50

I LOVE everything about this product. It's completely plastic free, vegan friendly and only contains natural oils. It's also keeping my dry lips hydrated and soft, which is something I struggle with as the seasons change. I believe it's definitely worth investing in natural lip products.

Seascape Island Apothecary Awake Oil / Sleep Oil Duo Gift Set - £18

These both smell incredible and I love the idea of them. I can't really be certain that these helped me to fall asleep/wake up, but they would make a lovely gift and of course they're lovely to smell. They're vegan friendly and contain 100% natural oils.
