The August 2014 Love Lula Beauty Box has arrived and this month it contains an incredible 3 full sized products.

LoveLula 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 included 3 full sized products and 2 sample sachets. The box features Tan Organic, Eco Tools, John Masters Organics and Sophyto.

1.    Tan Organic Self Tanning Oil –  Full Size 100ml RRP £19.99

I was recently introduced to this brand in a previous beauty box and received the Tan Organic dry oil which works hand in hand with this self tanning oil. I was delighted to get my hands on this.

TanOrganic’s Aloe Vera based formula contains no synthetic ingredients, parabens, colours or fragrances and is fully Ecocertified. The ultra moisturising formula in TanOrganic develops with no unpleasant aroma and is perfect for all skin types, even those with sensitive skin.

I’ve got no summer escapes planned this year and judging by the weather I can’t see the sun coming out anytime soon so this self tanning oil will come in useful to get the perfect summer glow come rain or shine.

2.   John Masters Organics Lavender & Avocado Intensive Conditioner –  Sample Sachet. Full Size 207ml RRP £22.00

There’s no getting away from John Masters Organics who has appeared frequently in my array of beauty boxes. Being a fan of this brand I always relish trying out their luxury organic products.

This intensive conditioner is infused with Lavender and avocado oil combined with over 10 certified-organic plant extracts and oils to bring intense moisture and vitality to dry hair. Hair is left shiny, soft and luxurious and is perfect for dry, damaged hair.

I look forward to giving my hair a pampered treat this weekend.

3.  EcoTools Eye Shadow Brush – Full Size RRP £3.72

Created by actress Alicia Silverstone, EcoTools provides environmentally friendly makeup brushes, applicators, makeup cases and other products that are earth-friendly, cruelty-free and budget friendly.

Within this pretty pouch is an eye shadow brush with an eco-friendly bamboo handle and recycled aluminium ferrules.

The brush itself is soft to the touch and picks up eye shadow pigments perfectly. The bristles are tightly combined to give you complete precision when applying.

I really like the quality of this brush and most of all its great value for money and completely cruelty free.

4. Hurraw Green Tree Lip Balm – Full Size 4.3g. RRP £3.99

Born in the USA, Hurraw Balm started out of pure intent; a personal obsession to create the perfect balm which all natural, vegan, made from premium raw, organic and fair trade ingredients, complete with a bunch of natural and fun flavor options

I received the Green Tea Lip Balm which contains organic Canadian grown cold pressed Hemp oil.

My lip balm collection is slowly developing into a small mountain however it’s always nice to try another brand which isn’t so readily available or known of in the UK.

5. SoPhyto Total Protection Serum – Sample Sachet. Full Size 30ml RRP £32.00

SOPHYTO known for being anti-ageing experts, base their products on the advanced science of phytotherapy. This holistic approach to skincare harnesses the healing power of botanicals and other powerful bioactive ingredients to naturally nourish and restore skin’s youthful glow.

This serum offers concentrated antioxidant replenishment to brighten the skin and leaves the complexion looking smooth, youthful and radiant.

Having oily/combination skin leaves you feeling a bit left out sometimes and unfortunately this isn’t a serum suited to my skin type and therefore will not be giving this a go.

My Verdict

This month’s line up has featured some wonderful goodies  from cruelty free brands which have no nasties in them.

The box included 3 full sized products and 2 sample sachets. The box featured Tan Organic, Eco Tools, John Masters Organics and Sophyto.

My only flaw with this month’s box is the Self Tanning Oil by Tan Organic which every subscriber would of received. Whilst I am a big fan of self tanning products and greatly appreciated receiving this what about those who don’t use tanning products? Being a full sized product and in my opinion the main highlight within the box I don’t think this product spells out diversity to their subscribers.

This is in the same price range as the other beauty  boxes and you are getting a completely different experience compared to the others boxes in relation to the products. Love Lula really do curate good quality boxes.

Love Lula also gave a 20% off promotional code to use on their website on any of the brands which were featured in this month’s box which is valid throughout August which is a nice bonus.

This month’s box was worth £27.70 beating the cost of the box.

If you love organic, natural and cruelty free products this is definitely the box for you. I have discovered some wonderful brands thanks to Love Lula.
