The January 2015 Love Lula Beauty Box has arrived and this month all subscribers are in for such a treat! The box showcases an impressive beauty overhaul boasting eight beauty items which includes skin and bodycare products along with some mini make up brushes. There’s a good variety of beauty revivers from skincare rescuers to much needed pick me ups making it the perfect kick-start box for January. This month’s box is one of my favourite edits from Love Lula and features well-known brands as well as a couple of new discoveries.
Love Lula brings together an unparalleled selection of the world’s finest natural and organic beauty products. Their brands are hand-picked and tested: products are created using only the highest grades of ethically sourced natural and organic ingredients and must be effective, luxurious and guilt-free.
They insist on NO parabens, NO SLS’s and NO animal testing. Beyond this they seek out the most innovative companies and strive to support morally run and environmentally driven businesses. Love Lula also have a online shop which has a huge selection of the world’s finest natural and organic beauty products.
This month’s box includes four full sized products, 2 deluxe samples and 2 sachet samples.The box features the brands Balance Me, Eco Tools, Vinali, Yes to, Nourish and Funny Bee.
1. EcoTools 6 Mini Brush Set – Full Size. RRP £4.99
EcoTools is a brand which I already use and love. I own a couple of their make-up brush sets and have always found their brushes of good quality and very budget friendly. If that’s not enough they also use cruelty-free bristles and natural, recycled materials.
The EcoTools Bamboo 6 Mini Makeup Brushes can be used to apply eyeshadow, lip gloss or lip colour and concealer and they are perfect for traveling especially when using make up housed in palettes.
2. Vinali Body Lotion and Face Cream – Travel Size 25ml and Sample Sachet 2ml.
In Winter we all tend to reach out for more moisture quenching products to make our skin that much more weather-proof and I was happy to be introduced to two samples from the brand Vinali who’s collection has recently been added to the Love Lula website.
Founded in 2009 although the founders were already experts in wineries prior to this, Vinali was the first organic Spanish range of Vino-Cosmetics who conducted pioneering research into the antioxidant properties of wine to bring a range of products combining the properties of grape and other carefully selected powerful natural ingredients.
The body lotion contains Grape Seed Oil, Organic firming Cocoa and Shea butter to deeply nourish and help regenerate and tone the skin.
The formula is really light weight and sinks into the skin effortlessly. The scent is really subtle and feels refreshing on the skin without leaving a greasy residue behind. The cream left my skin smooth and hydrated ready to face the cold wintery weather.
As well as the body lotion there was also a sample sachet of their day cream which I am yet to try.
3. Balance Me Rose Otto Hand Cream – Travel Size 30ml
I’m inundated with hand creams at the moment but the Balance Me Rose Otto cream has been one I’ve been wanting to try for quite a while and I was delighted to see a very good sized sample within this month’s box.
This cream has a ultra-soothing and skin-quenching formula which deeply smooths and moisturises dry hands with its emollient blend of anti-oxidant rich, protective Arctic cloudberry and exquisite aroma of softening rose otto, palma rosa and rose geranium essential oils.
It’s quite simply one of the nicest hand creams I’ve used. Its beautiful rose scent gently perfumes the air whilst the rich but non-greasy formula really absorbs into the skin leaving your hands super hydrated, soft and moisturised. As well as the hands this can also be applied to the feet which I’m looking forward to trying.
This cream also goes a very, very long way so, although it’s not cheap, it won’t need replacing for ages.
4. Yes to Cucumbers Facial Wipes – Travel Pack RRP £1.99
I’ve not had much dealings with the Yes to range who are a organic eco-friendly brand.
These all-natural, biogradable and hypoallergenic wipes are made with soothing ingredients such as cucumbers, green tea, and aloe vera. One single cloth naturally exfoliates, detoxifies, and rejuvenates as well as gently removing dirt, sweat and makeup.
I occasionally use wipes if I’m feeling too tired to do a full cleanse and these sound perfect for my skin type being oil-free and hypoallergenic. They feel refreshing and make the skin feel clean without drying the skin out. I was expecting a very artificial scent but surprisingly the wipes smell identical to cucumbers!
This travel pack of 10 is ideal whether you’re out and about, at the gym, or traveling.
5. Madara Detox Mud Mask – Travel Size 12.5ml
I’m feeling really spoilt and I’ve not even got to the last product yet! This mask excites me as not only is it suitable for oily skin, it’s exactly what my skin needs to get back to it normal state.
This detox mud mask contains Nordic forest lake mud and it’s aim is to clean, tighten pores and conditions, to leave the skin fresh, matt and revitalised.
This hard-working mask offers five effects which clarifies, detoxifies. rejuvenates, recharges and hydrates and is recommended to be used twice a week as clarifying treatment for oily, combination skin, skin with enlarged pores, blemishes, acne, and to combat skin dullness, tiredness and occasional inflammation it can be used once a week. If that’s not impressive the mask is also suitable for vegans, is nut free, cruelty free and natural and organic.
I really love face masks as they provide a quick pick me up to remove impurities and generally leave the skin feeling refreshed and renewed.
I’m looking forward to trying this mask which appears to offer real benefits for oily and spot-prone skin.
6. Nourish Kale Enzyme Exfoliating Cleanser – Sample Size 2ml
This cleanser is fairly new to the Nourish range and only launched last year. It contains the key ingredient Kale, a well known detoxifier to help protect skin from damaging free radicals. As well as it’s key performer the cream itself contains lots of skin-soothing oils as well as phytoactive pomegranate enzymes which gently exfoliate.
As well as this product being a cleanser, it’s multi purpose formula can also be used as an exfoliating mask and for a revitalising facial which is great to really benefit from the key ingredients.
7. Funny Bee Pretty BB Cream – Sample Size 1.5ml
I love BB creams they are a great lighter alternative to foundation with multi-tasking abilities. It’s definitely my preferred option during the day.
This all-in-1 organic BB Cream moisturises, protects, perfects skin texture, covers imperfections and gives a natural and healthy glow without silicone or artificial coloring and contains skin loving ingredients such as shea butter, organic apricot stone, perilla and sesame oils and hyaluronic acid.
The cream looked very orange initially however once applied onto the skin it blends very easily with the shade being a perfect near match . The cream also has a subtle fruity scent but soon fades once applied. I found that the cream didn’t cover my blemishes as much as I’d liked however it did leave my skin looking more luminous with a very natural finish.
Love Lula have kick started the year with an amazing edit this month which boasts eight beauty treats covering skincare, bodycare and even some travel-sized make up brushes. I’m really into my skincare at the moment and this arrived at the perfect time for me where I’m on a quest to improve my current regime. I love that the box featured well-known brands as well as a few new discoveries and included a mixture of full sized products and very good sized samples.
Love Lula also included a 20% off promotional code to use in their online shop on all of the brands which were featured in this month’s box.
The Love Lula Beauty Box offers a completely unique beauty discovery experience compared to the others boxes and focuses only on all things natural and organic.
If you love organic, natural and cruelty-free products or want to detoxify your beauty regime with a more skin friendly alternative this is definitely a box you don’t want to miss out on. I have discovered some wonderful natural skin loving treats thanks to Love Lula.
