Spring is definitely in the air and Love Lula have embraced the arrival of this season with a newly designed logo as well as this month’s box, which sees a beauty overhaul boasting such a great array of refreshing products to renew, rejuvenate and restore. It’s the perfect mix this month as we eventually phase out our winter beauty products. The box showcases another impressive line up with three full-sized products and three samples with a selection of skincare products alongside a body soap. This month’s box features mainly new discoveries for me and it’s another great edition which greets you with a very fresh spring fragrance, unintentional of course but very fitting .

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 three full sized products and three good sized samples .The box features the brands Acorelle, John Masters, Bon Naturals, Madara and Dudu-Osun.

1.    Acorelle Eye Serum – Full Size 15ml. RRP £21.00

I love slathering on a eye cream especially when my eyes are feeling particularly tired, or if I don’t get enough sleep and want to avoid obvious panda eyes the next morning. Acorelle isn’t a brand I’ve heard of before but welcomed the discovery and it comes in a full size too worth £21.00, really impressed Love Lula have included this within the box.

This hard-working certified organic eye cream by Acorelle has been created with unique patented formula Api Oleo Actif (AOA) and claims to restore the appearance, smooth the eye contour, reduce the color of dark circles, rejuvenate and prevent congestion of the eyes, and is suitable for all skin types.

The serum is light with a very silky texture and soaks into skin quickly without leaving any kind of residue and leaves the area around the eyes feeling soothed and relieved. On the first application I noticed a slight difference straight away and the area around my eyes looked much brighter and rested.

2.    Acorelle Cleansing Oil –  Full Size 125ml. RRP £17.00

There’s another full-sized product from Acorelle in the form of their cleansing oil and I really like that Love Lula have included another product from the brand as it really gives subscribers a good opportunity to road test the brand.

The Acorelle Cleansing Oil gently removes impurities and make up,including stubborn eye make up. It’s enriched with nourishing plum oil and antioxidant Vitamin E leaving your skin clean and supple without feeling greasy.

I’m a little reluctant to try this as it’s mainly for normal and dry skin types and with my skin being quite oily I think I will pass this onto a family member. Such a shame as it smells really beautiful and seems quite pampering.

3.   John Masters Cleansing Bar – Full Size 128g RRP £7.00

I’ve really been liking what I’ve tried so far from the John Masters collection and welcomed another new discovery within this month’s box.

This multi-purpose soap is an all-over body cleanser and shaving bar that lathers into a soothing foam for a close and comfortable shave, for both men and women. It contains Organic palm and coconut oils and is enriched with the antiseptic properties of essential birch and cedarwood oils alongside a high glycerin content, leaving your skin clean and soft – with no irritation from shaving and is suitable for all skin types.

I love multi-purpose products and I’m really drawn to the fact that this can also be used for shaving too, although I’m quite curious to see how this measures up against my beloved shaving foam, it certainly smells much nicer.

4.   Bon Naturals Tissue Oil – Sample Size 5ml. Full Size 100ml RRP £9.99

Another brand which I’ve not heard of before is Bon Naturals,  a South African family owned producer of natural skin care products that has been in existence for over 40 years. Their philosophy is to develop and manufacture the best quality skin care products, which are natural, have a proven benefit, and retail at affordable prices.

There’s an award winning, clinically proven face and body oil sample within this month’s box and is formulated to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, ageing and dehydrated skin. This Vitamin E enriched formula combines a unique blend of naturally derived avocado, grape seed & rose hip oils to nourish and improve the appearance of the skin.  The sample comes in a little spray bottle which is great to get an even burst of product and I will definitely be putting this to the test on some of my blemishes and with it containing rosehip oil known for its scar fighting properties I have high hopes.

5.  Dudu-Osun Black Soap  – Sample Size 25g. Full Size 150g RRP £5.00

This is probably the highlight for me within this month’s box, it’s another new discovery and comes in the form of a black cleansing soap crafted traditionally for hundreds of years in Africa. The packaging itself is quite simple and fuss-free and with the bar being rounded it fits comfortably in the hands. If you love using skincare with natural ingredients, this is as natural as it gets. it’s enriched with Pure Honey , Shea Butter, Camwood (Osun), Palm Kernel Oil, Cocoa Pod Ash, Palm Bunch Ash, Aloe Vera, Lime juice, water and fragrance.

The first time I used this on my face it felt like it was on fire and left my skin feeling rather itchy and uncomfortable afterwards. However, this is supposedly normal due to the lime juice and other natural ingredients and some other reviewers had also reported the same issues. Despite this, I did persist with the soap and have been using this for over a week now and it’s much more tolerable and the results have certainly been worth it. Every time I use this my skin feels thoroughly cleansed and I’ve not had any breakouts since so I’m hoping it’s down to this miraculous soap. One word of warning, do not get this soap in your eyes it’s horrifically stingy and dry skins should definitely stay away as it does suck moisture out from the skin.

6.  Madara Time Miracle Samples  – x3 sample sachets

I’ve seen Madara appear quite a few times within the Love Lula editions and this month there’s three different samples from their Time Miracle range. I’m not quite there with the anti-ageing products so will probably pass these on.

This month sees another great line up by Love Lula and mainly showcases new discoveries for me. Although this month’s box mainly featured skincare with a couple of products not suitable for my skin type,  there was still enough within the box to keep me interested. I was particularly impressed with the Dudu-Osun soap and I’m hoping it continues to keep my spots at bay. There was also a good mixture of full sized products and samples this month with an impressive value of around £45.00. One of the aspects I really like about Love Lula is that they always include a mixture of products from both well-known and emerging brands so they’ll always be something new to try and as their concept is focused, you won’t find the majority of these products within any of the other beauty boxes. I feel that Love Lula have really upped their game recently and I’m loving their new step in direction.

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 which is great if there’s something in the box you really love.

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.

If you missed out on any of the Love Lula beauty boxes there’s a few available to buy without a subscription here.
