Love Lula: Inner-Soul Organics Silk & French Lavender Snooze Mask

I'm a huge fan of Inner Soul already having tried most of the skincare and body care products previously. I couldn't resist picking up the ultra luxurious and treat-y Inner-Soul Organics Silk & French Lavender Snooze Mask (£22)* as one of my accredited blogger picks this month (it's fantastic). I think it would make the perfect gift (if you can bear to give it away that is!)

The soft, brushed cooling and healing silk mask contains lavender buds which help to calm and relax, slowing down both the body and mind. It's ideal to use for a calm 5 minutes or during meditation. 

The mask helps with reducing fluid retention around the eyes and as silk contains protein cellular albumen which has anti-ageing properties making it a real treat for the eyes.

The mask is sourced and created in London and France using 100% organic Soil Association certified silk and 100% organic lavender flowers. The mask should be hand washed periodically (remove the lavender flowers before washing) before drying flat. I like how you can swap around the flowers for say rose petals or chamomile flowers.

To use: squeeze the mask between your fingertips to release the scent and place over closed eyes for a moment of tranquil calmness.

I absolutely love it. It calms and de-stresses and 10 minutes of calm and relaxation is all you need to feel renewed! It would make the perfect Mother's Day gift (11th March in the UK).

June Empties

I've got through loads of products this month and I'm not going to use anything else up so my empties post is a little bit early this month:

A'kin Lavender & Anthyllis Leave-in Conditioner 150ml - really loved this and would buy again for sure.  It lasted ages.

Tabitha James Kraan Organic Hair Cleanser 30ml - lovely to use although I missed a bit of lather. See my review here. Not sure if I'd buy full size although I simply loved the Golden Citrus 4 in 1 Conditioner 30ml - it's on the wishlist!

Therapie Himalyan Detox Salts 100g - a staple and a buy-again and again and again product. Already got some more in my stash.

John Masters Organics Blood Orange & Vanilla Body Wash 60ml - this was lovely to use. Will probably pick this up again sometime.

Nourish Kale Enzymatic Exfoliating Cleanser 50ml* - I didn't get to finish this as it had gone off! I loved this. See my review here.  I've got a couple of sample pots to use.

RMS 'un' Powder - this is a staple for me. I'm already into a new one.

LJ's Natural Solutions Organic Purity Rose Body Oil 50ml x 2 - this is a another staple for me and a bit of an addiction! See my review here. Just opened a new one.

bareMinerals Bareskin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation SPF20 shade 07 30ml - I really liked this foundation and will buy again.

LJ's Soothing Organic Handbag Hand Lotion 8g - a rich and nourishing lotion. See my review here. Too many hand creams to use up right now but I'd consider buying it in future.

Beatitude Patience Bath Oil sample - gorgeous! See my review here. I'll be adding full size to my wishlist.

Inner Soul Organics Romance Me Skin Oil sample - huge Inner Soul Organics fan and love this body oil.  See my review here.

Eminence Sweet Red Rose Treatment Masque 1/2oz - this was scented deeply of rose and looked like strawberry jam!  It was nice to try out but probably wouldn't purchase full size as there are other masks I prefer.  See my review here.

Marble & Milkweed Nourishing Body Oil 2oz - this is one of my favourite body oils of all time. See my review here. I can luckily say I've got a back up of this in my stash which I've just cracked open.

Ruth Romano Lemongrass Dead Sea Bath Soak 400g* - I simply loved these bath salts. They smelled divine and made bathtime a total pleasure. Will buy soon. Very reasonably priced too! See my review here.

HAND Fig Organic Shea Butter Soap - I won this in Evelyn's giveaway a while back. Was lovely to use and smelled delicious. Still got a second one to use!

AMBRE Rosemary, Thyme & Mint Bath Oil 15ml - this was lovely to use and I'd maybe buy full size.

Caudalie Divine Oil 15ml* - a beautiful nourishing oil which I now want full size!

AS.AP Cleansing Oil 25ml* - I'm so sad this is finished as I loved it. See my review here. Will definitely buy at some point.

The Body Deli Jasmine Tuberose Nutrient Hand & Body Wash 8oz* - this is simply divine and I'm so sad I've finished it! Will definitely buy. See my review here.

SAMPLES:

Leonor Greyl Volumising Shampoo for Long, Thin & Limp Hair 16ml - this seemed an okay product but didn't love it so wouldn't buy.

Hairy Jayne Deep Cleansing Shampoo sachet - huge Hairy Jayne fan. See my previous review here.

Rahua Shower Gel 12ml sachet - this was ok. Had a gentle lather and mild minty scent a bit like murray mint sweets. Nothing special. Wouldn't buy.

A great value box I think.  What are your thoughts?  Did you pick this one or one of the other Limited Edition boxes up?

Inner Soul Organic's Limited Edition Nordic Berry Bliss Hand & Body Salve (250ml - £25.50) launches exclusively at Love Lula today. You can buy it until 1st January 2015.

I was sent a small sample* to test it out and I can confirm that this rich balm melts easily into the skin leaving it deeply nourished and lightly scented.
