Another busy month, can’t believe how quickly time flies. It’s time to share the goodies we received in May’s LoveLula Beauty Box 

I was pretty excited to see 4 full sized products (all new for me) and 1 sample face mask.

The beauty box monthly subscription costs £14.95 and the total value of this month’s box is £67 which is pretty good value for money.
There’s also an exclusive beauty box offer of 25% off the brands featured in the box.

Here’s what’s in the box…

MÁDARA Re:gene Volume Rebuild Lifting Mask (60ml | £35)

This natural and certified non-invasive treatment delivers visible lifting, plumping and wrinkle-smoothing results to give your skin back its youthful V-shaped contours. Firms and supports the skin and its underlying tissue, improves the production and structure of the collagen network.

A powerful fusion of revitalising birch water, biotechnologically derived amino lipid and cell repair bio-complex helps to restore volume and smooth deep wrinkles, resculpting any sagging and leaving your skin plump, smooth and irrestibly soft.

Ingredients:

Betula Alba (Birch) Juice*, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter*, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Glycerin, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate, Hydrogenated Macadamia Seed Oil, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter*, Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Fruit Extract*, Isoamyl Laurate, Vaccinium Myrtillus (Blueberry) Fruit Extract*, Trifolium Pratense (Red Clover) Flower Extract*, Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail) Extract*, Alchemilla Vulgaris (Lady’s Mantle) Extract*, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Extract*, Galium Verum (Bedstraw) Extract*, Sodium Levulinate, CI 77019 (Mica)**, CI 77891 (Titanium dioxide)**, CI 77491 (Iron oxide)**, Cellulose, Aqua/Water, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Palmitic Acid, Sodium Anisate, Stearic Acid, Lactic Acid, Palmitoyl Isoleucine, Xanthan Gum, Charcoal Powder, Aroma/Fragrance, Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Betaine, Sodium PCA, Sodium Phytate

I have a growing collection of face masks, I’m always keen to try out new ones though. This face mask is nice and creamy and glides on smoothly. You can leave it on or wipe off after 15-20 minutes. The scent is quite mild which I like and I use it as an overnight mask. It absorbs quickly so once I go to bed it won’t stain my pillow. In the morning my skin feels nourished, super soft and smooth.


Ayumi Sandalwood & Ylang Ylang Body Scrub (200ml | £6.99)

Scared Sandalwood body scrub to gently cleanse and exfoliate the skin with finely ground olive seed powder without stripping away precious hydration. Exotic oils of Amazonian Babassu and caressing Jojoba feed a soft silkiness to the most sensitive of skin. This luxurious treat full of precious essential oils contains sultry, seductive sandalwood, soothing lavender, prevocative patchouli, and a kiss of sumptuous ylang ylang tinged with a tingle of ginger to swamp the skin and senses in supple, sensuous softness.

Ingredients:

Aqua (Water), Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Pumice, Acrylates Copolymer, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Coco-Glucoside, Parfum (Fragrance Essential Oil blend), Decyl Glucoside, Glycerin, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Olea Europaea (Olive) Seed Powder, Cananga Odorata (Ylang Ylang) Flower Oil, Pogostemon Cablin Leaf Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil, Santalum Spicatum (Sandalwood) Wood Oil, Piper Nigrum (Black Pepper) Seed Extract, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract, Jasminum Grandiflorum Flower Extract., Cinnamomum Zeylanicum (Cinnamon) Bark Extract, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Linalool, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

This is a new brand to LoveLula and I’m currently trying out some of their hair care products.

Summer is around the corner so I regularly exfoliate at least twice a week to get rid of dull winter skin.

The consistency is what I expected from a body scrub. It feels more like a shower gel with exfoliating pumice. I use it twice a week instead of my regular body wash. It foams slightly, cleansing and exfoliating at the same time. After rinsing my skin is silky smooth and soft.

The scent is quite distinctive. I love the warm, balsamic and woody scent of Sandalwood paired with the floral sweet scent of ylang ylang. The scent is deeply intoxicating, fills my entire bathroom and lingers beautifully on my skin.


Seascape Island Apothecary Refresh Hand Lotion (300ml | £16)

This light but effective hand lotion sinks in quickly, leaving a lovely finish to your hands.  Contains 100% natural essential oils of Jersey Lavender to soothe and calm, Lemongrass to tone and refresh, Geranium to balance and cleanse the hands and natural Shea Butter to nourish and protect.

Let me start of with how gorgeous the packaging is… so eye-catching. It sits beautifully in my bathroom or bedside table. The dispensing pump is handy and my kids love using it after washing their hands.

The consistency is light and it sinks in quickly without leaving my hands tacky or greasy. My hands feel nice and soft and the scent is fresh and refreshing.

 

 

JOIK Silky Lipbalm – Pastel Pink (7g | £6)

Silky lipbalm nurtures and nourishes lips with candelilla wax, sunflower oil, jojoba oil and vitamin E, makes them silky smooth and gives lips a delicate soft pastel pink colour and shine.

This pastel pink lip balm is quite subtle on my lips and basically disappears no matter how much I apply it. It does feel nourishing on my lips which is great and leaves a nice sheen.
