Hi everyone, I hope you are all keeping well. It’s been a super busy month for me and I’m excited as it’s my birthday tomorrow!

Now it’s time to share August’s LoveLula Beauty Box .

This month’s box contains full-sized products from Inika Organic and Laidbare and travel size products from FOM London and Mádara

The total value of this month’s box is a whopping £70. There’s also an exclusive beauty box offer of 20% off the brands featured in the box.

Let’s have a look at what’s in this month’s box….

Laidbare Glow Laidbare! Facial Self Tanner (50ml | £12)

Get your glow back with Glow Laidbare, self tan for a naturally sun kissed and radiant complexion! For a subtle and personalised self tan blend with Working 9 to 5 or Spot The Difference. For a ‘just stepped off the beach’ darker shade, apply another layer 24 hours later.

Fake it and enjoy a naturally year round Glow!

Ingredients:

Aqua, Dihydroxyacetone, Glycerin, Ceteraryl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Dimethicone, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Benzyl Alcohol, Prunus Amygdalus Dulicis (Almond Oil), Parfum, Sodium Polyacrylate, PEG-20 Stearate, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Dehydroacetic Acid , Cyclopentasiloxane, Linalool, Trideceth-6, Geraniol, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract, Disodium EDTA, Limonene, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Benzyl Benzoate, Cyclotetrasiloxane

Application

Best applied before bed time to wake with a beautiful glow! Following cleansing with DIY! Cleanser & Toner, apply with clean hands all over the face, up to the hair line, over the ears, neck and décolletage. Wash hands immediately after use. Avoid the eye area, if product comes in contact with the eyes wash the eye area carefully

I have a few favourite products from Laidbare but sadly this product is just not for me. Aside from the fact that I clearly don’t need a self tanner, there are way too many synthetic ingredients for my liking.

Apply 1 to 2 pumps on to face and neck. Massage in until fully absorbed.

I previously tried a sample of this and was really pleased to see the full size featured. It has a fresh citrusy scent and a gorgeous creamy consistency.

I apply 2 pumps to my skin, it glides on smoothly on the skin and absorbs well. My skin is well moisturised and hydrated. This helps to create a perfect smooth canvas for my makeup.

My makeup looks velvety smooth, stays fresh and lasts longer. Definitely a favourite!
