Hi lovely people! I’m back, and reviewing the LoveLula June 2020 Beauty Box! When you see the contents of this beauty box, you will understand why I wanted back into this amazing natural beauty subscription service. It’s brilliant! June’s subscriber box contains 4 full-size natural beauty products. The value of the box is £63, but it costs just £14.95 as a monthly subscriber. Subscribing makes a lot of sense because you get to try lovely natural beauty brands at a great discount. So many times I’ve been introduced to a brand or product that was completely new to me. And who doesn’t love a surprise package? There’s a zingy detox natural deodorant from Elsa’s, cheerful citrus bubble bath from Kathleen, new Humble By Nature lemon verbena hand cream, and ever-so-sweet plum oil by Ooh! Enjoy my review of the LoveLula June 2020 Beauty Box. LoveLula June 2020 Beauty Box Elsa’s…

Welcome back, beauty lover! And welcome to my June 2020 natural beauty empties. What a month June was for content on my blog. I used up quite a few skincare products, too. June was about oils – 2 well-loved facial oils, plus a lash oil. I used up 2 day moisturisers, an Ayurvedic body wash, herbal conditioner, healing balm, and even a soothing aromatherapy candle! Plenty for the littles too, including a gentle dragon fruit children’s conditioner, soothing coconut scalp cream, and creamy calendula body wash. Are you ready to learn more about them? Let’s go! June 2020 natural beauty empties Beauty Cleanse Skincare Mean Green Superfood Drops Mean Green Superfood Drops by Beauty Cleanse Skincare is my star empty this month. It’s a potent serum-in-oil that restores tired, dull skin to its velvety best. What I love about this oil is its versatility – I use it for face,…

Have you used a natural micellar water before? If not, are you curious? Until a few weeks ago, I’d never tried micellar water, never mind one I considered “natural”. I was so happy with my oil, balm, and gel cleansers, for years I completely overlooked micellar water. Micellar water contains compounds that are highly effective at removing dirt and oil to keep skin clear. Healthline Then one night I felt like cleansing without water. I couldn’t be bothered to turn the tap on and fill the sink to remove my makeup. How lazy is that? But we’ve all been there! I needed a waterless cleansing solution. I finally saw a use for micellar cleansing water! According to many of the brands offering micellar water, it brings the duel benefit of makeup removal and cleansing – without any water at all. But we all know that oil-based cleansers are the best…

Do you love neroli skin care products? Me too! Neroli is uplifting, romantic and calming. Perfect for post lockdown emotional support. And so many natural beauty bloggers love neroli skin care too! One of my favourite memories as a young girl was sitting under my mum’s mock orange tree in the garden, listening to the bees buzzing around the fragrant blooms. When mock orange (aka “Philadelphus Virginalis”) is about to blossom, my thoughts turn to neroli (aka Bitter Orange, “Citrus Aurantium”). My favourite way to enjoy the benefits of neroli is in skin care. My favourite place to shop them? LoveLula of course! So this post is all about neroli – what it is, neroli skin care benefits, and my roundup of blogger neroli skin care favourites. What is neroli in skincare? Neroli in beauty care is created by adding neroli essential oil or hydrosol to skin and hair care…

Welcome back, beauty lover! And welcome to my May 2020 natural beauty empties! May has been a good month for empties. I have loved them all – well, except for one – you’ll see which. And there are some definite repurchases from some of my most beloved brands. There’s an amazing anti-ageing face cream with ingredients that read from your superfood store-cupboard, sumptuous cleansing butter with carrot and mango, a gentle vitamin C serum that’s great for beginners, and a body lotion that promises to boost emotional wellbeing – and much more! I really hope you enjoy them! Are you ready? Let’s begin! Natural beauty empties Tamaar Rejuvenate Anti-Ageing Cream Complex This is one of my favourite moisturisers – my skin really loves it. And I adore the ingredients, including date palm, tamarind seed, turmeric, green tea, gotu kola, and kefir milk probiotics. Head over to my full review of…

Welcome back, my beauties! I hope this post finds you well. Today I’m sharing my blogger pick for May, the wonderful Inika Phytofuse Renew Resveratrol Serum. It’s fair to say I collect skincare like philatelists collect stamps. So when I learned that Australian brand Inika had recently added the Phytofuse Renew skincare line to its already very highly esteemed line of makeup, I jumped at the chance to try it. Wait, Inika now do skincare? They certainly do! And it’s the first 100% natural, vegan and organic botanical skincare range enriched with Phytofuse Renew. This appears to be a proprietary extract developed by Inika based on rose of jericho, a “rehydrating desert resurrection plant”. Rose of Jericho is clinically known for its anti-pollution, protective, and healing properties. 5% proven active ingredients. 2X the potency found in mainstream skincare ranges. There are several products in the Inika Phytofuse Renew skincare line,…

Welcome back, beauty friend! And welcome to my April 2020 natural beauty empties. April was a great month for empties! I had chance to use up many more products because my husband is working from home and I have a little bit more time in the morning. Coronavirus lockdown – there are some benefits. Not only that, but I’ve been shopping my stash every week. This month I wanted to focus on using up my sample collection. The ultimate goal is to reduce the number of these little sachets coming in. Sample sachets are a terrible waste of packaging – there are better ways to get samples! So, future thinking applied. But a lot of my samples were running out of date, and I didn’t want to waste them. So I’ve been living like I’m on holiday, with lots of variety – it’s been fun! I also have lots of…

Welcome back, dear friends! Have you tried Ere Perez beauty before? This Australian natural cosmetics brand creates high quality, healthy, and easy to use beauty. Perhaps best known for its gorgeous makeup pieces, the brand formulates nourishing skincare too. Ere Perez, a Mexican-born natural therapist, is the creator of this stunning brand. And, although I’ve admired Ere Perez from a distance for some time, this is my first foray into the cruelty-free brand. The brand selects natural oils, plant extracts, and minerals with great care. Many of the items have sun protection in mind. In each product, you’ll find health-giving and beneficial ingredients inside. Being naturally beautiful encompasses everything about our lives. It’s being kind to ourselves and our fellow creatures; being thoughtful and considerate of other people; conscious of conserving the beauty of our planet and making the most our own natural beauty and recognising our inner strength. Ere…

Here are my March 2020 natural beauty empties. Another month of empties, and how much life has changed since my last empties post. In the light of the Coronavirus pandemic, my post about skincare empties seems trivial, but I’m finding solace in my skincare and carrying on my blog as normal. And you know what? Taking care of my skin is still incredibly important to me! It’s pretty much my rock. In March, I used up hydrating day cream, silky tinted lip balm, a zesty lemon hand smoothie for sore hands, tea tree balm, and lemongrass & chamomile soap. Enjoy! Natural beauty empties Lumen Vitae Ray of Light Day Cream I was kindly sent Ray of Light Day Cream and others in the Lumen Vitae range to try. This soothing cream took me no time to use up – I loved it. It’s hydrating and calming, perfect for wearing in…

Cleansing, especially with HoliFrog cleansers, is the best part of my daily skincare routine. It prepares me for the day, and it helps me unwind at night. It’s a loving ritual towards myself; a refreshing yet comforting mood-boosting experience that I always look forward to! And it goes without saying that cleansing is really important for healthy and good looking skin. It removes makeup and dirt, excess oil and dead skin cells, and prepares skin for further treatments. It’s so much more than just removing daily makeup and grime! Have a skincare concern? There’s a cleanser for that, since many great cleansers are tailored towards your specific skin concern. Breakouts or dull skin? Try an acid wash with smoothing AHAs. Dry, uncomfortable skin? Try a milky wash with calming fatty acids and aloe vera. I’m always excited to try new and interesting cleansers, so I was hopping on my seat…
