5 Green Beauty Brands To Try - Kathleen Natural, Bali Balm, Lavera, L'Odaïtès & Natura Siberica
Stuck in a beauty rut or simply bored of your current routine? Treat yourself this payday to some new products from these beautiful green beauty brands!

A Facial Spritz For The Summer Months: Try Kathleen Natural Rebalancing & Soothing Tonifying Mist* (150ml, £23, link)
Suitable for all skin types including sensitive, this alcohol-free Tonifying Mist from British brand Kathleen Natural helps to instantly soothe, hydrate, heal and rebalance your skin in just a few quick spritzes. It's made from 100% natural ingredients (80% of which are certified organic by the Soil Association) and features key plant-based actives such as Aloe Vera, Lemon extract and Chamomile Water. I love using this morning and night after cleansing, and it's also great to store in the fridge for a refreshing and hydrating mist whenever you feel that your skin needs a pick me up.

A Luxury Vegan Lip Balm: Try Bali Balm in Cinnamon & Burnt Orange* (15ml, £20, link)
If you've been looking for a truly luxurious, vegan-friendly lip balm that will saturate the driest, chapped lips with natural moisture, Bali Balm is a must-try. They specialise in 100% natural lip balms that are expertly formulated with a blend of specially selected ingredients which have high levels of antioxidants and boast antibacterial properties. Bali Balm has four different lip balms to choose from and I've had the pleasure of trying their Cinnamon & Burnt Orange balm which combines plant oils with juicy organic caramelised Orange Peel, anti-inflammatory Cinnamon and sweet Muscovado Sugar. The result is an ultra-nourishing and plumping lip balm that smells good enough to eat!

A Soothing Scalp & Hair Conditioner: Try Lavera Basis Sensitiv Moisture & Care Conditioner* (200ml, £6.95, link)
I'm a big fan of Lavera's Basis Sensitiv range and always have a tin of their amazing All Round Cream in my skincare stash. For a change, I decided to check out the Moisture & Care Conditioner in this line which has been formulated especially for sensitive scalps and dry hair. This is a really lovely and gentle conditioner to try if your scalp is feeling dry, itchy, flaky or irritated in any way as it's packed full of soothing and moisturising ingredients such as Organic Almond Milk and Avocado Oil. It's lightweight so won't weigh down fine hair and adds lots of shine and softness to the hair which is a pleasant added bonus.

A High-End Anti-Ageing Skincare Elixir: Try L'Odaïtès Elixir Bonheur Anti-Aging Replenishing Serum* (15ml, £52, link)
Now that I'm in my early 30s, I've been seeking out more targeted anti-ageing skincare products to help preserve my complexion and lessen those first visible signs of ageing. I've been most impressed by the products that I've tried out recently from the French brand L'Odaïtès who are popular amongst green beauty circles and mainstream skincare gurus alike. Their Elixir Bonheur Anti-Ageing Replenishing Serum is a beautiful elixir treatment that utilises the natural anti-ageing properties of Prickly Pear, Rosemary, Neroli and Apricot in a base of essential fatty acids which plumps, hydrates and helps to protect the skin from the elements. Best of all, it has the most sublime citrusy scent that makes it a real pleasure to include in your evening skincare routine.

A Pampering Treat For Dry Hands: Natura Siberica Oblepikha Hand Cream* (75ml, £3.95, link)
For a more affordable but still luxurious treat, try Natura Siberica's Oblepikha Hand Cream. This handbag-sized tube of moisturising goodness is a truly exceptional hand cream that will transform dry hands into baby soft skin in a matter of days. Massage a little into your hands before going to bed and breathe in the divine scent for pure pampering heaven!

Green Beauty: LoveLula Beauty Box - June 2018 review

LoveLula Beauty Box - June 2018 review
When it comes to beauty boxes, the LoveLula ones are always consistently good and June's box is no exception. Let's take a closer look at the contents, shall we?

L'Odaites Gentle Polyphenol Exfoliator
 L'Odaites Gentle Polyphenol Exfoliator (full size, RRP £39)

The star of this month's box is a full-size jar of L'Odaites Gentle Polyphenol Exfoliator which is new to the LoveLula website. I've heard a lot of positive things about this natural Parisian skincare brand, so I couldn't wait to slap it on in the bathroom as soon as I saw it! Packed full of polyphenols which are derived from the pits of dates, this rich manual exfoliator also includes Sunflower Seed Oil, Aloe Vera, Honey and Olive Leaf extract, so it feels quite moisturising afterwards. It does a brilliant job of polishing away dead skin cells, and I'd be more happy to continue to use this once a week or fortnight as part of my skincare routine.

Walden See The Moonlight Perfume Rollerball
 Walden See The Moonlight Perfume Rollerball (10ml, RRP £17)

A new Walden perfume, how exciting! You guys know how much I love this range (check out my previous review here) because these fragrances are completely different to anything else that I have in my perfume collection. This newbie is called See The Moonlight and it features an interesting blend of fresh Bergamot top notes, sultry Jasmine, delicate hints of Rose, and a deep base of Sandalwood and Ambrette Seed. A lovely scent for Summer, the handbag-friendly rollerball is ideal for travelling with.  

JOIK Refreshing Facial Toner
 JOIK Refreshing Facial Toner (full size, RRP £10)

Another full-size product this month is JOIK's popular Refreshing Facial Toner which I've been meaning to try out. It's 100% natural, alcohol-free and contains Sea Buckthorn Oil to repair and condition the skin, Aloe Vera to soothe any irritation or inflammation, and refreshing Peppermint and Grapefruit Oils to wake up your complexion. I've really been enjoying using this in the mornings, though I might decant it into a spritzer bottle as it doesn't have a pump.

REN Skincare & Now To Sleep Pillow Spray
 REN Skincare & Now To Sleep Pillow Spray (10ml travel size, full size is £18 for 75ml)

Next up, I found a travel size bottle of REN's latest & Now To Sleep Pillow Spray which I've seen all over social media recently. This unique blend of essential oils helps to balance your natural sleep patterns by using Frankincense, Hops and Lavender to help you relax and drift off to the land of nod. Lavender is quite dominant in the mix and it has an overall earthy, natural scent to it, so if you like the sound of that, you'll probably love this!   

JOIK Sweet Orange & Mint Body Butter
JOIK Sweet Orange & Mint Body Butter (sample)

Lastly, there's a small sample of JOIK Sweet Orange & Mint Body Butter which smells gorgeous. It's very fruity and refreshing, and I really like the rich texture too - very tempted to get a full-size of this at some point soon!
