LoveLula August 2018 Beauty Box review

In this post, I’m sharing my review of the LoveLula August 2018 Beauty Box. This will probably be my last LoveLula box review until after our baby is born, as I’ll be focusing on pregnancy related beauty and health posts. I’m so excited for it! August’s beauty box features one of LoveLula’s most requested products for the box and contains 6 natural beauty products, 2 of which are full size. It’s worth £55, but costs just £13.95 as a subscriber. Let’s see what’s inside! Disclosure: I received the LoveLula August 2018 Beauty Box to review by LoveLula, but my opinions are honest and my own. Mádara Brightening AHA Peel Mask LoveLula’s most requested box item and such a fantastic product to include! So many bloggers and natural beauty lovers simply adore this natural face mask. I already own a tube and use it maybe once a month. I personally prefer a mechanical…

How to nourish your child through cleaner beauty

Let’s talk about a subject very close to my heart – how to nourish your child through cleaner beauty. As parents, we naturally want the best for our children, and there are so many choices to make. From food, clothing, toys, education, whether or not to vaccinate – the list is endless and often overwhelming, especially for first time parents. I feel the choices we make about what skincare products to use, and how we use them, are important. We can nourish our children through our skincare choices, and reduce the chemical burden we place on them. But wait, I hear you say – I don’t want more choices! As a busy parent, there’s no time to make lots of complicated or overwhelming ingredient checks. I hear you, honestly. Since I fell pregnant with Jonah in 2015, I’ve spent plenty of time scrutinising ingredients to ensure nothing harmful works its…

It seems like I’ve used many natural beauty products this month – probably true, but there are several single use products in my empties collection, like sheet masks.

LoveLula June 2018 Beauty Box review

The LoveLula June 2018 Beauty Box is another really lovely subscription box from LoveLula with some super-luxe items. It contains 5 natural skincare and beauty products, 4 of which are full size. It’s worth over £67, but costs just £13.95 as a subscriber. Let’s take a look at what’s inside this month’s box. Disclosure: I received the LoveLula June 2018 Beauty Box to review by LoveLula, but my opinions are honest and my own. L’Odaites Gentle Polyphenol Exfoliator Worth £39 alone, this elegant exfoliator is a wonderful addition to the June box and is by far my favourite product of the box. L’Odaites is a French brand created by 3 sisters to share the skincare regime of their family. The star ingredient of this exfoliator is the date fruit, which contains powerful antioxidant components and is rich in minerals and amino acids. The exfoliator has a gel-like consistency and is quite dark. My…

How to Choose Natural Korean Sheet Masks

Korean sheet masks are a big thing across Instagram and beauty blogs, but as someone who cares about clean beauty, how can you make sure you choose only natural Korean sheet masks? In this post, I’d like to share some tips for choosing natural Korean sheet masks. How can you choose only natural masks when there are so many to choose from, and often the ingredients are listed in Korean? And exactly how can Korean sheet masks benefit skin, anyway? To help me answer these questions, I’ve selected and reviewed 4 different sheet masks from Nomad Beauty Collection (since posting, this store is unfortunately no longer with us). If you’re new to Korean sheet masks too, I hope you’ll find this post helpful! Natural Korean sheet masks How do I choose natural Korean sheet masks? The problem with Korean sheet masks is that the ingredients are often only listed in…

Lavera makeup review

In this post I’m sharing my favourite Lavera makeup. Lavera is one of the first brands I chose when I started to buy natural beauty. I’ve already posted about some of my favourite Lavera products, such as Lavera Colour and Shine Shampoo, Lavera Deodorant, and Lavera Sensitive Toothpaste. The Lavera makeup range is really comprehensive. Each product I’ve tried from the range is good quality and excellent value for money. One of the great things about Lavera is that all of their products are NATRUE certified. I come back to Lavera time and time again! I used my favourite Lavera makeup items to create this natural daytime look. For my base I used Dr. Botanicals Kale Superfood Nourishing Day Moisturiser, and Faerie Minerals Maximum Coverage Foundation in Porcelain.

The Rose Tree Radiance Facial Essence review

I was so delighted to receive The Rose Tree Radiance Facial Essence earlier this year. Back in February, I reviewed The Rose Tree Intensive Balm. Since then, I’ve been using this gorgeous facial oil every day. In case you didn’t catch my review, The Rose Tree is British brand founded by the amazing Olga Rumble. The Rose Tree creates luxury organic and natural skincare to nourish the skin and mind. Olga describes the brand as: British luxury designed for modern women who want to look and feel amazing in today’s frantic-paced lifestyle. The Rose Tree Radiance Facial Essence is super clean, full of beneficial ingredients, and comes in gorgeous recyclable glassware with an easy to use dropper. If you think you can’t use face oil because you have combination skin, this face oil will definitely change your mind! Before using it, I was skeptical about using oil on my face as I…
