Love Lula Beauty Box - November

My November Love Lula box arrived on Friday and I'm delighted with it!  So what's inside:

Barefoot Botanicals SOS Face & Body Rescue Cream 25ml (£5.25) - a rich cream which relieves dry and sensitive skin.

Living Nature Nourishing Hand Cream 50ml (£16) - this is a really fab hand cream. So pleased to see this in the box.  See my review here*.

Jason Brightening Apricot Scrubble Facial Wash & Scrub 113g (£5.49) - mild enough to use everyday. A soap free foaming scrub which polishes and cleans the skin.

Giovanni Deep Moisture Shampoo 60ml - huge fan of this haircare brand. This moisturises the hair leaving it shiny and nourished.

Suti Cleanse Balm 4ml sample - great brand and product. Always handy for weekends away/holidays.

A £25 voucher for your first Hello Fresh box (if anyone wants this give me a shout).

Did you get this box? What are your thoughts?

Betrousse Glitz & Glamour Box

Betrousse, a French company sent me a Glitz & Glamour Box* to review.  Amazing value at £10 (plus P&P) with a value of £70. You get full size products in every box and there is no subscription - you just pick and chose which boxes you want.  You can see the current range of kits here.

The products come in an outer cardboard box and inside there is a large black branded box (reminds me a bit of a shoe box!).

Here's what is in the box:

Tulecos Tonifying Oil with Organic Peppermint (50ml - worth £33) - this is the most interesting item for me in the box.  From a brand I've never heard of before - this is for using on your feet! It smells really nice and I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Jason Normalising Shampoo (255ml - worth £7.20) - scented with rosewater and chamomile. A gentle cleansing shampoo which leaves the hair clean and fresh.  Looking forward to using this.

Fair Naturally Mango & Safflower Body Moisturiser (200ml - worth £3.99) - this smells really lovely and absorbs quickly into the skin.  Another brand I've not heard of before.

Make Believe Beauty Shimmer Lip Gloss (15ml - worth £10) - a clear gloss with a little bit of shimmer. Would be great to use on holiday.

Benta Berry G-1 Exfoliating Cleanser for boys and girls (30ml - worth £14) - another brand I've not heard of before.  This is for young skin (ages 12-24) so I'll probably give it to my niece to test out.

All in all, a great value box.  Full reviews will follow once I've tried the products.  You can see the BeTrousse website here and follow on Twitter @BeTrousseUK

What's by my shower

These are the products which sit on the bath ledge beside my shower.  I also have a stash in the cupboard that I use too.

Jo Malone Red Roses soap - beautifully scented and real luxury.  Ancienne Ambiance Goddess Argan Oil soap - a shea butter soap scented with Argan Oil - it's gorgeous!  See my review here.

Seascape Revive Conditioner* which I am testing for review at the moment.  You can see my thoughts on some of the other products here.  This seems a really nice conditioner which is scented with Jersey Rosemary and Bergamot.


Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Treat Invigorating Shampoo & Conditioner - loving using these.  Received them in my Organic & Natural Box from Latest in Beauty.  Zingy and invigorating.  I use them in my morning shower.  Full review to follow.

Seascape Uplift Body Wash* - love the uplifting scent.  See my review here.

Noble Isle Summer Rising Cornish Hedgerows Bath & Shower Gel - simply love this gooseberry, orange blossom, moss and cut grass scented shower gel.  My favourite scent from the brand.  Pump bottle - would make a great gift.

Sephora Monoi Bubble Bath & Shower Gel - I got this in my swap box from Livia. You can see the contents of this here.  I prefer to use this in the shower. Smells lovely.

Bodhi Mint Thé Refreshing Bath & Shower Therapy - my favourite Bodhi shower gel.  Really zingy and makes me feel awake in the morning!

Mama Mio Clean Slate Cleanser - lovely to use scented with lavender.  I'd maybe purchase this again but only after I use up some of my cleansers.

Perricone MD Nutritive Cleanser - received this as a freebie.  A really nice cleanser.  Again I'd maybe purchase.

Murad Exfoliating Cleanser - received this in a Latest in Beauty box.  Really nice with a gentle scrub.

L'Occitane Angelica Cleansing Gel - got this free in an offer last year.  Nice to use.

Do you use any of these products?  What's beside your shower?

Latest In Beauty - Organic & Natural Box

Latest in Beauty were offering free P&P recently so I picked up the Organic & Natural Box which cost £4.95.

Onto the contents:

The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was the strong mint scent - I just thought I'd received a bottle of my favourite Dr Bronner's Peppermint 18-in-1 Pure Castile Soap.

But it was...

Giovanni Shampoo & Conditioner  - both 60ml and scented with tea tree & peppermint (smells amazing even through the packaging!).  These are suitable for all hair types - so looking forward to trying them.

Dr Bronner Pure Castile Soap - I simply love the Peppermint variety!  The one I receive in this box is Almond - a scent I've not tried before so looking forward to trying it out!

Jason Lips Be Healthier Aloe & Beeswax Lip Balm 4.5g - I received this in a previous box and it smells just like chocolate peppermint creams - Yum!

Jason Aloe Vera Satin Shower Body Wash 59ml - this smells quite "green".  Not tried a lot of Jason products so happy to try this out.

I am really pleased with the contents (and the price!)  A really nice selection of products.  Did you get the box?  What are your thoughts?

Joliebox Review - October

My October Joliebox just got delivered.  The theme this month is "Pure and Natural".

Here's the contents -

Ritessens Velvet Cleansing Milk - a full size product - 125ml from a French brand I've never heard of before.  This is what I want to see in boxes - products which are new to me.  Free from parabens, SLS, artificial colours etc. It contains Argan oil and natural plant extracts.  This brand offered a choice of cleanser or exfoliant. Looking forward to trying this one out. 

Lov Organic Tea 6 muslin tea bags in Lov is Beautiful - an organic blend of white and green teas and are packed full of antioxidants and zinc which have proven skincare benefits.  Love herbal tea so looking forward to making a brew.  There are some delicious sounding blends on the website.

JASON Bee Healthier Lip Balm Stick - a full size product which retails at £1.99. It's scented with peppermint and packed with shea butter.  I love lip balms so will definitely be happy to use this.

Balance Me Balancing Face Moisturiser 10ml - just received Amarya's October Box which was a Balance Me featured box and included this cream.  I will use it (eventually!) although my heart sank a little when I saw it in Joliebox this month.

Moa The Green Balm sample pot - I don't like the scent of this one so will pass it on.

All in all I was happy with my box this month.  I love Joliemag - I find it a really informative read.  Fleur from Fleur de Force, is this month's cover star.  What are your thoughts on the box?
