LoveLula Beauty Box March 2016 & Review

This is the last of my subscription box from LoveLula, as part of my Christmas present. I thought I would you, my thoughts on the LoveLula subscription boxes now I've received them for 3 months. 

Again I was extremely happy when I opened this box. The fist product I noticed and was desperate to open and try was the Hurraw lip balm. I always heard such good reviews about them, I opened it straight away and applied it to my lips - even though this is best at night. I found it helped some of the dryness with just one application. I will defiantly be building my collection with the 20% discount with the box. I received 3 items from Urban Veda: Radiance Day Cream, Radiance Exfoliating Facial Polish, and Daily Radiance Facial Wash - I hadn't heard of this brand before but I'm looking forward to trying them. Another product which I'm excited to try is TurBliss Peat Masks. Another full sized product was Skin Blossom's Cleansing Milk, it's vegan and 91% organic. This was very useful as I was on the look out for a gentle wash cleanser. As usual, I received 2 packet samples - they were both moisturizers. 

I now thought I'd share my view on subscription boxes. I haven't been disappointed that's for sure, every box that has been delivered to my door has featured some pretty amazing brands and is defiantly worth the money. I loved waiting every month for the next one then opening it and seeing what's been included that month. I had my subscription as a Christmas present - for me, this has been perfect. I'm not too sure if I'm going to continue to pay for the subscription myself but I strongly believe that for following birthdays and Christmases I will be asking for it again. I have loved discovering new brands every month - this was one of the main reasons I asked for it as after switching to cruelty-free it's something I found hard, so it's defiantly helped me with that problem. However, with that comes with one problem I find with subscription boxes it that I now have a large box of unused/unopened products I'm yet to test. I feel like if I continued with the subscription my box would only get larger and then I would be a little bit pointless because I don't even get to trial the products I'm sent.

LoveLula Beauty Box February 2016

I received my February box in the post, again I was extremely happy with the content of the box again this month. I received 5 full sized products and 2 sample packets. I was so pleased when I opened it and saw that there were 2 full-size products from Balm Balm, because this was one of the brands I really wanted to try. I received the Lip Balm and the Coconut Cleanser. Another brand that I’m excited to try is John Masters, I got their detangled, this is one of Love Lula’s best sellers - so it must be really good. In the box was also a makeup product. This month I received Essential Care’s eye liner. When I swatched it I really liked it as it was really pigmented and smooth, another thing is that it’s really good if you have sensitive eyes. The next one I’m looking forward to trying is REN’s Eye Lift - this is actually something you can’t purchase until late February. Finally, I received 2 samples one of REN’s Beauty Shot Sample and Dr. Hauschka’s foot cream.

Love Lula Beauty Box January 2016

This is my first ever subscription box, so I thought I would share my thoughts on it. I actually asked for this as a Christmas present, I received the 3-month subscription which for me and as a gift is perfect.

I chose to go for LoveLula's Beauty Box as this year I fell in love with their online store and wanted everything so when I noticed that they do a subscription box, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to trial out some of their brands also, I'm on the lookout for new cruelty free brands. LoveLula is an online beauty store, they stand for a number of manifestos such as no animal testing, minimal waste, no harmful chemicals. It's become my new favourite online beauty store, you can often find me browsing on there.

In this months box, I received three new brands but 7 new products to test out. It came in a cardboard box with shredded paper inside along with the products and a card which give me a couple of sentences about each of the products I received. Also, on the card is a code where I can receive 20% off any of the brands featured in this month's box - I really like this idea.

This month I received Madara's tinting fluid, it's a lighter version of a foundation but while you are wearing it, it helps to hydrate and illuminate the skin. Even though it's very light it gives a really good coverage. Secondly, I received Rossi's face cream, I'm yet to trial this out but it's meant to be a rich face cream to use anytime to help hydrate the skin. The final brand I received was Ontario, from this brand I got a Revive & Shine shampoo and conditioner, Hydrate & Shine shampoo and conditioner and a Restore & Shine hair masque. I feel these would be perfect for traveling. I'm unsure whether to save them or trail them out.

Overall I've been very pleased with my first ever beauty subscription box. I look forward to seeing what's in the next 2 boxes.
