Green Beauty: LoveLula Beauty Box - April 2020 review

This month's LoveLula Beauty Box is worth £57 and April's edit will definitely appeal to anyone who loves their clean, natural and organic skincare! Here's a rundown of the contents:-

John Masters Organics Lip Calm (RRP £7)

I'm a lip balm addict and have used this brilliant Lip Calm from John Masters Organics in the past. It's a great all-in-one, twist-up lip balm treatment that intensely moisturises and protects and it has a lovely, relaxing scent to it. If you find some natural lip balms too hard or waxy, try this one as it melts into the lips easily.

Madara Hyaluronic Collagen Booster Ampoules (RRP £29.30)

The star of this month's box for me is this new formula box of Hyaluronic Collagen Booster Ampoules from Madara which are worth nearly £30 on their own. Each ampoule is filled with a targeted serum that's packed full of Hyaluronic Acid and Collagen to help address fine lines, wrinkles, very dry and tight skin by hydrating and improving the overall texture of your skin. Use them underneath your favourite moisturiser day or night to give your routine a real boost! 

Ayumi Neem & Tea Tree Body Wash (RRP £6.99)

Funnily enough, I'm currently testing out the matching soap from Ayumi's Neem & Tea Tree Body Wash at the moment for an upcoming blog post so I have a feeling I'm going to get on well with this body wash! I'm a huge fan of anything Ayurveda inspired, and the combination of Neem & Tea Tree is a fresh and invigorating sensation that I know I'm going to enjoy.

Nature's Kitchen Berry Beautiful Skin Polish (RRP £12.99)

Next up, I found another full-size skincare treat, this time from Nature's Kitchen. Their Berry Beautiful Skin Polish uses natural Bamboo Cane and Red Berry Fruit extracts to gently buff away dull, dead skin cells for a smoother result. 

INIKA Phytofuse Renew Resveratrol Eye Cream (sample)

To round off this month's LoveLula Beauty Box, there's an assortment of INIKA skincare sachet samples which have been included and I was pleased to receive the Phytofuse Renew Resveratol Eye Cream to try out as I haven't used it before. Thanks LL!

Green Beauty: LoveLula Beauty Box - December 2019 review

With an overall value of nearly £50, this month's LoveLula Beauty Box features a selection of luxury and festive natural beauty treats to see you through December and beyond. 

 Nature's Kitchen Dark Chocolate Fudge Cleansing Butter Face Mask

Who doesn't love indulging in some chocolate at Christmas?! This deliciously Dark Chocolate Fudge Cleansing Butter Face Mask by Nature's Kitchen has a seriously rich and fudgy balm texture to it and features Raw Organic Cacao as it's the main ingredient. Joined by the likes of Australian Beige Clay, Organic Coconut Oil and Cocoa Bean extract, this mask helps to restore your skin's natural moisture balance and draws out impurities at the same time.

 Balm Balm Frankincense Deep Cleansing Balm (RRP £9.50)

Another festive skincare treat is this beautiful Frankincense Deep Cleansing Balm from Balm Balm who are exclusive to LoveLula. Made from 100% organic and natural ingredients, it boasts a simple but effective formula of Shea Butter, Beeswax, Sunflower and Jojoba Oils, to deeply cleanse the skin, whilst Calendula and Frankincense extracts soothe and rejuvenate. As with all cleansing balms, a little goes a long way! 

 Walden Live The Life Perfume Oil (RRP £17)

Also exclusive to LoveLula are Walden, a range of premium natural fragrances inspired by Henry David Thoreau’s seminal work of the same name. Here we have one of their Perfume Oils to try in the scent, Live The Life, which combines top notes of Bergamot and Orange with middle notes of Tuberose and Sweet Violet, layered carefully over a base of Sandalwood, Brazillian Rosewood and China Jasmine. It's fresh, floral and uniquely different. Be sure to check out my previous reviews of Walden's fragrances here.

Natura Siberica Rich White Body Butter (RRP £5.25)

If you're looking for an affordable green beauty brand, look no further than Natura Siberica who have a huge range of products to choose from. They are well known for their clever natural formulas which help to combat the worst of the cold weather's effects on the skin, and this is one of their key bestsellers. As the name suggests, it's a rich and thick body butter that's brilliant for dry skin, and it also helps to improve overall texture and smoothness across the body.

It's not just skin that suffers during the colder months - winter can take its toll on your hair too, but help is at hand with this Organic Hair Oil from Ayumi. Enriched with Coconut Oil, this silicone and paraben-free hair oil is a seriously rich and moisturising treatment that will help to rescue dry and damaged hair after just the first use, and it can be left on overnight for an even more intensive treatment if your hair is in particularly bad shape.

Ooh! Oils Of Heaven Apricot Revitalising Face Oil (RRP £19)

The last full-size product in this month's LoveLula beauty box is a beautiful Revitalising Face Oil from Ooh! Oils Of Heaven, which are a brand exclusive to LL.

Green Beauty: LoveLula Beauty Box - August 2019 review

The sun is shining and it's time for another recap of this month's LoveLula Beauty Box! Worth over £60, let's check out what green beauty goodies are inside for August's box.

Laidbare In Safe Hands Hand Cream (full size, RRP £6.99)

Like lip balms, you can never have too many hand creams in my opinion and I've had the pleasure of using this one from Laidbare numerous times in the past. In fact, I first reviewed it back in 2013 (check out that post here)! Needless to say, this is a lovely hand hydrating cream which is 99% natural and features Organic Shea Butter, Sunflower Oil and Vitamin C to keep dry hands soft and supple.

Madara Eye Contour Cream (full size, RRP £26)

Madara are a very popular organic skincare brand and I love many of their products, so I'm very much looking forward to trying out their Eye Contour Cream which has been on my wishlist for quite some time. Enriched with Baltic botanicals, it promises to be a light-textured gel-cream that deeply hydrates, smoothes fine lines and diminishes puffiness.

Inika Lip Glaze in Rosewood (full size, RRP £18)

The star of this month's box for me is this gorgeous Lip Glaze from Inika. Worth £18, it can be used on its own for a glossy wash of colour or applied over lipstick to add a beautiful high-shine finish. It's made from organic natural ingredients and feels (and looks!) really luxurious.

Nature's Kitchen Rescue Cream (full size, RRP £8.99)

The last product is another full size one that would definitely come in handy for any late Summer getaways that you may have planned. Nature's Kitchen's multi-purpose Rescue Cream helps to reduce inflammation caused by a range of dry skin complaints such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis, and it can be also be applied to sunburn to instantly soothe and hydrate.
