My Love Lula Beauty Box arrived and I couldn’t wait to discover this months box.

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.

Upon opening my box I wasn’t overly excited compared to last month’s box however now I have reviewed the products I am quite liking it.

My box included 2 full sized products and 4 samples . The box  consisted of  Skincare and Body Products this month.

1.    Suki Exfoiliate Foaming Cleanser –  Full Size 30ml RRP £10.00

This is refreshing and reinvigorating Exfoliate Foaming cleanser  and contains sugar crystals, powdered rice & 100% pure foamers combined to eliminate blemishes and impurities, leaving your complexion radiant and youthful-looking.

This is suitable for all skin types, this hydroxy cleanser kickstarts your skin’s natural collagen production process to give you plump and firm skin, whilst lemongrass purifies your pores to keep your complexion clean and clear. The energising blend of essential oils invigorate your senses, making it the perfect morning pick-me-up.

I normally dread skincare products in the beauty boxes as most of them are not for my skin type however I will certainly be giving this a go. This has great reviews also.

I would probably use this once a week instead of daily more so when my skin is in need of some extra TLC!

2.   Urban Veda Purifying Exfoilating Facial Polish–  Sample Size 20ml. Full Size 125ml RRP £8.99

For those of you who know me I am a big fan of the Urban Veda Purifying range! I have all of their skincare products and I really cannot recommend them enough – they really do hold a special place in my heart. Their products really agree with my skin leaving it blemish free and less oily.

This exfoiliator is naturally formulated for a deep cleanse, their revitalising scrub contains natural Pumice to exfoliate, cold-pressed Neem oil and refreshing essential oils to remove impurities and treat blackheads. Antioxidant-rich botanicals work in synergy with naturally astringent herbals and collagen-boosting extracts to reduce excess sebum, tighten pores and leave skin hydrated. I use this a few times a week. It’s quite gritty and certainly not harsh which in turn leave my skin soft and clean. A product which has all of the properties you would want from an exfoliator.

This product also was the winner of the Natural Health 2014 beauty awards.

Although I already have this product it’s always nice to have a sample size for travelling or weekends away.

3.   MOX Botanicals Bath Milk in Rose Petal – Full Size 70g (Two Sachets) RRP £8.00

I am not familiar with this brand however it appears to be from the US.

Packed with the most luxurious of ingredients, Mox Botanicals contain Organic whole milk and nutrient-rich sea salt combined with various botanicals to provide the ultimate at-home-spa experience. Packed in oversized teabags, you can choose to allow the ingredients to slowly dissolve and infuse into your bath water. Or, you can empty the sachet directly into your water and enjoy the botanical elements floating free in your bath!

These smell amazing and quite luxurious. I can’t wait to try these and think I will go with option 2 – the float free factor!

4. La Claree Gentle Cleansing Milk – Sample Size. Full Size 150ml RRP £19.00

I received the moisturising cream from this brand in a previous box in February and loved it.

This is a cleansing milk concentrated in active plant antioxidants, its texture is creamy, soft and non-greasy. It cleans and removes all traces of makeup and impurities while preserving the fat from the skin. Well hydrated, the skin regains suppleness, comfort and radiance.

I doubt I will use due to my problematic skin.

5.  KAE Beauty Oils – Sample Size ( 2 vials). Full Size 50ml RRP £31.00 – £37.00

This is a french brand which I have never come across.

The first vial sample was Huile de beauté  which is a pure satin protecting oil for face, body and hair. It prevents and reduces the signs of ageing, dehydration and damage caused by exposure to sun, heat, cold, wind, air-conditioning, seawater, chlorine, smoke, pollution and skin irritations. It leaves entire body smooth, soft, and deeply hydrated.

The second vial was Beaute Scintillante. This organic dry oil has a subtle flower fragrance and is a unique concentrate of vitamin E and Omega 6.It nourishes, repairs and softens face, body and hair in a single gesture. It illuminates the tan and gives the skin a golden sheen.Its natural iridescent particles and its satin texture are suitable for all skin and hair types.

I’m not a fan of oil based products and therefore probably won’t use these however may try using as a treatment on the ends of my hair.

My Verdict

Upon opening my box I wasn’t overly excited compared to last month however once I started reviewing the contents I wasn’t too disappointed. The box contained known and new brand samples and definitely made the reviewing process more interesting however I was surprised that the box contained two exfoliators!

My box included 2 full sized products and 4 samples . The box  consisted of  mainly Skincare and Body  Products this month. Personally I would of liked to have seen a better mix of products.

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 .  All the products in the Love Lula Beauty Boxes have no nasties.

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 June which is a nice bonus.

Overall, an good box this month  however there’s  a few products which I probably won’t use  however I also understand that It’s hard to please every subscriber!

This month’s box was worth around £25.00. 

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

Lets see what Love Lula brings next month.

You Beauty Discovery Box Review – June 2014

Price of the Box is £6.95 including P&P
No of Products in the Box – 4 items
Total value of contents in the box £20.98
www.youbeautydiscovery.co.uk

The June 2014 You Beauty Discovery Box has arrived and once again I’m certainly not disappointed. You Beauty Discovery’s theme this month is Beauty Hero’s.

“You Beauty Discovery” is a monthly beauty subscription service. The box consists of 2 selected hair, make-up and beauty products from well-known brands and new brands and they also include 2-3 bonus samples. Unlike the other subscription boxes you get to choose two products of your choice from a good selection menu.

June’s selection wasn’t as exciting as last month but none the less I was impressed and this month I decided to be sensible and choose products which I would use on a day to day basis.

For more information on what was available on the selection menu please click here

1. L’Oreal Paris – Infallible 24H Lip Colour (110 TIMELESS ROSE) and (121 FLAWLESS FUSCHIA) – Full Size RRP £9.99

Finally some make-up on the You Beauty Discovery selection menu! I’m currently going through a lipstick  buying frenzy at the moment (maybe a crisis!) and trying all sorts of brands and colours  so this was timed very well and yes I chose both of the lipsticks available!

L’Oréal Paris Color Infallible Lipstick is their first Lip-Duo with Hyaluronic gel. It claims to make your lips feel smooth, hydrating and a non fading colour all day.

This certainly has a strong staying power I was actually having problems trying to take it off to a point where I ended up going to sleep with bright pink lips – it seriously would not budge! It’s quite moisturising  and didn’t dry out my lips like others which I have previously tried.

The  Timeless Rose Colour was quite subtle and definitely a colour I would wear during the day however the flawless fuschia was quite bright however a great lipstick for nights out.

I love these lipsticks and I definitely made the right choice this month.

Here are the colours: Top Picture – Timeless Rose. Bottom Picture – Flawless Fuschia

2. Montagne Jeunesse Dead Sea Mud Mask – Full Size Sachet RRP £1.00

I’ve only tried a few of these in the past and they are good masks and great value for money.

This mask is nutrient rich in seaweed and kelp and is a boost for thirsty skin which penetrates deep into the pores and draws out impurities.

These are great for a quick pampering session.

3. Expandable Face Cloth – Full Size

I love the cuteness of this product – its wrapped in a heart shape what’s not to love!

However there is more to it – it magically expands into a full sized cloth when in warm water.

I love facial cloths they come in useful for removing facial cleansers, masks, make-up and exfoliaters.

This has been designed by You Beauty Discovery – a great little bonus in the box

My Verdict

Once again I am happy with my You Beauty Discovery Box this month and whilst June’s selection wasn’t as exciting as last month  none the less I was impressed. This month I decided to be sensible and choose products which I would use on a day to day basis. I love the extra samples included this month too.

My box this month’s contained 2 full sized products (chosen by me) and 2 great bonus samples.

The contents within this month’s box is worth an amazing £20.98 – more than the price of the box itself!

“You Beauty Discovery” impresses me every month. I always look forward to seeing their menu at the start of the month.  Their wide selection of products in their menu has something for everyone . This box is a complete steal for £6.95 and worth every penny. You Beauty Discovery is a very good example of what a beauty box should be in every form.

It appears that they have also increased their stock levels as most of their items are still available  unlike previous months where popular items immediately went out of stock in the morning.

Next month’s You Beauty Discovery’s theme is”You Travel” – dedicated to beauty and skincare travel essentials. 

What did you think of your June “You Beauty Discovery” Box?
