LoveLula Beauty Box November 2015

LoveLula Beauty box November 2015

My LoveLula Beauty Box arrived over the weekend.  I have to say I really like the selection of products this month.

What’s in the box:

Laidbare For Richer For Porer

Description:

Mask imperfections and reduce pores with our cleansing and hydrating facial masque. Kaolin Clay draws out impurities and toxins, Japanese Seaweed Extract detoxifies and smoothes the skin. Shea Butter gives hydration and conditions skin, whilst Liquorice helps minimise inflammation and Rose Water soothes irritation.

Bonus: A natural micro-exfoliation process to stimulate cell renewal for porcelain skin. Ideal for anti-aging concerns & problematic skin types.

This is my first time using Laidbare. This is a great masque.  I like the texture, it has little exfoliating bits.  After use my skin felt smoother and clearer.  It will see if it reduces my visible pores over time.

Lyonsleaf Beauty Balm

Description:

Moisturise, cleanse, exfoliate, nourish, repair and protect from one revolutionary little pot.

I love multi-purpose products.  You can use this as a cleanser,  moisturiser and treatment balm.  It smells great as well.  I have a feeling this is going to be a new must-have for me.

Odylique Avocado 24-hour replenishing cream

Description:

Avocado 24-Hour Replenishing Cream is a sumptuous night moisturiser or rich day cream with nature’s finest contribution to smoothing out lines. Select extracts of sea buckthorn and horsetail help promote skin regeneration while nourishing cold-pressed avocado and olive oils provide protein, minerals and anti-oxidant vitamins. This moisturiser is perfect for normal to dry skin or mature skin, and to protect from free radical generation.

The heavenly blend of essential oils including lavender, frankincense, bergamot and ylang ylang has balancing, cell-regenerating and relaxing qualities, making this ideal either as a night cream or face cream for dry skin.

I’m very familiar with Odylique and I’ve used this cream before.  It works well as a day or night cream.  It is light which I like but also very moisturising.  

PHB Ethical Beauty, Natural Organic Pencil Eyeliner in Black

Description:

PHB’s Natural Organic Pencil Eyeliner is enriched with a gentle nourishing formula of plant oils and waxes whilst being richly pigmented for rich, long lasting colour. Glides on smoothly for fast, easy and accurate application. With a long-lasting plant based formula that is water resistant yet always gentle to eyes.

I don’t wear eye liner very much these days but it’s always great to have one in my makeup bag.  I love the fact that this one doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals and is great for sensitive eyes.

Overall I’m really pleased I got to try some new brands this month.  I’m looking forward to next month’s box.
