*Love Lula: Organic September - Neal's Yard Remedies

*Sent to me as a Love Lula Accredited Blogger for an honest review. As you'll probably know I've been theming my picks this year:

January - SLEEP,  February - LOVE, March - AWAKEN, April - BLOSSOM, May - FORAGE, 

June GROW, July - PLASTIC FREE JULY, August - CBD

This month it had to be Organic September - a month long campaign which raises awareness of the many benefits of organic food, farming and beauty. Read more about it here. This month I picked Neal's Yard Remedies, a brand which has been around since 1981! Organic + Soil Association Certified (and one of the 1st Green beauty brands I tried). I chose two products which are new in at Love Lula:

I love the iconic blue glass bottles! The first item I selected was Wild Rose AHA Toner 200ml - £18* which gently refines the skin. It's formulated with a natural source of AHA and can be used daily. Formulated with organic wild rose rosehip seed oil, caviar lime fruit extract + citric acid to exfoliate while organic aloe vera + glycerine hydrate. Skin is left soft, smooth and glowing.

To use: use AM and PM after cleansing using a cotton pad in a sweeping motion, avoiding the eye area

I've been really enjoying using this gentle AHA toner. It's got a nice rosy floral scent, it feels comfortable on the skin and I've found my skin looks brighter, softer and less dull. It's a winner for me!

I also selected Wild Rose Glow Facial Oil 30ml - £28* which while a light textured oil intensely nourishes and replenishes the skin. Formulated with organic wild rosehip seed oil which restores + renews, naturally derived olive leaf extracts to replenish + hydrate along with light oils which condition + refine. Skin is positively glowing + healthy looking. 

To use: apply a few drops with your fingertips, massaging in with upward circular motions. Use alone or follow with moisturiser

My autumnal skin has been loving this delicious nectar which has a floral + herbal scent. My skin feels soft + hydrated with a radiant glow! What products have you been picking for Organic September?

REVIEW: Neal's Yard Remedies Frankincense Intense Cleansing Melt

I received this Neal's Yard Remedies Frankincense Intense Cleansing Melt inside one of Naturisimo's fantastic discovery boxes. Full size is now firmly on the wishlist! It really is an amazing product. 


The Cleansing Melt has a gel like texture and a gorgeous rich Frankincense aroma. It starts off as a gel and as you massage it onto your skin it transforms to an oil. Add a splash of water and it'll turn into a milk, which can easily be rinsed off or removed with a warmed damp muslin cloth.

It's perfect to remove make up and daily grime and turns cleansing into a real ritual. You can use it AM and PM but I prefer using it evening time. Your skin is left feeling clean, refreshed and nourished. Formulated with Sunflower, Coconut and Almond oils which bind moisture to the skin leaving it soft and elastic. Frankincense essential oil deeply relaxes.

To use: massage a small amount onto the skin, massaging until it becomes an oil, add a splash of water to turn it into a milk before removing with water or a dampened cloth

I absolutely love it, it takes cleansing to another level, leaving the skin feeling super soft and clean. Pick yours up HERE.

Naturisimo: Starter Kits: Moisturisers Starter Kit

 Naturisimo have brought out a clever range of Starter Kits. Of course, I had to pick one, didn't I! The one which spoke to me the most was their Moisturisers Starter Kit (£20). They give you a QR code to get 10% off a full size from the collection which is a nice extra. I'm pretty impressed with it all round - the products come in a cute drawstring branded bag (perfect to use for other bits/reusable cotton pads/weekends away etc).



So what's inside:

For Thirsty Skin: Antipodes Baptiste H2O Ultra Hydrating Water Gel (5ml x 3 sachets). I'm a huge fan of this moisturiser. See my review HERE (I'll be popping the sachet samples in my travel bag, although I'm not sure when my next trip will be!)

For Tired, Sensitive Skin: Dr Hauschka Rose Day Cream 5ml the cult classic which has stood the test of time. This beautiful rose scented cream protects and replenishes and is lovely to use.

For Unbalanced Skin: Neal's Yard Remedies Palmarosa Moisturiser 15g from a brand I know and love. This is a product I've not tried before. My skin is combo and it'll balance, minimising the appearance of pores and mattifying the skin. Oh yes, I'm looking forward to trying this 'un!

For Mature Skin: Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Moisturiser 15ml which comes in a pot where the cream is dispensed via a hole in the middle - no fingers in the pot! Again, looking forward to trying this one, it feels lovely on the skin.

It's a great set in my opinion, what are your thoughts?

*Love Lula: Neal's Yard Remedies: Frankincense Intense Hand Treatment Serum

*sent to me as part of the Love Lula Accredited Blogger Program. My post contains one affiliate link. All thoughts are genuine - this is a great product!


Neal's Yard Remedies Frankincense Intense Hand Treatment Serum* (£30 - 50ml) is presented in a blue glass pump bottle which is boxed. The certified organic treat is truly luxurious and a joy to use. I use it mostly just before bed either alone or with a separate hand cream on top for extra nourishment. 

The serum will firm, hydrate, reduce lines and wrinkles, plump and target age spots. It's got a lovely texture which melts instantly onto dry hands. It has got a strong and aromatic Frankincense scent so I'd say you've got to really love this essential oil.


Formulated with restoring ribose, reviving narcissus extract as well as provitamin A rich rosehip seed oil. After a few days my hands felt nourished and soft. 

To use: twice a day AM and PM. Pump a small amount onto back of hands as well as massaging into nails and cuticles. Breathe in the relaxing aroma and relax! For an extra nourishing treat top with your normal hand cream.

I've been really impressed with this product. It's lovely to use, has a deliciously woody/spicy scent and performs really well. Would recommend.

Latest in Beauty: Balance - The Night-Time Edit

I couldn't resist Latest in Beauty's Balance - The Night-Time Edit box (which cost £33 for monthly members, £38 for non-members) in collaboration with Balance. The box is worth over £145! The product which initially caught my eye was Jurlique's new Limited Edition, Fragrant Rose Hand Cream (100ml - £29), a glorious and indulgent rosy cream - review to come!  

There are also 15 other items nestled within.  Pick yours up HERE (while stocks last).  There are of course some items which are not to my taste (and these will be passed on).


It's absolutely packed full!


From pukka is a box of their Night Time Organic Herbal Tea (20 tea bags - £2.59) which is a blend of organic oat flower, lime flower and lavender to help you unwind before bed. Happy to give these a try!

From Puressentiel there's a trial size spray (20ml) of their Rest & Relax Air Spray which calms and relaxes before bed. It contains 12 essential oils to comfort and calm. It's got a gorgeous lavender based aroma.

I've used Tisserand's effective Sleep Better Pulse Point roll-on before (10ml - £6.25) and found it to be a useful aid to ease restful sleep. 

I adore Dr Teal's and have used their super soothing Pure Epsom Salt Soaking Solution Soothe & Sleep with Lavender before (1lb bag).  You can buy at Boots & Superdrug.

Huge fan of both This Works Sleep Plus Pillow Spray (mini) (there's also a code for 15% off you next purchase) and Weleda's Lavender Relaxing Body Oil (10ml).


I'm already a fan of Patchology and inside is their Down Time Moodpatch Eye Gel (single use - £3.20) which help to soothe and smooth the undereye area.

From Dr Botanicals is their Pomegranate Sleeping Mask (30ml - £9.90) which I've used before. It'll hydrate and nourish your skin while you sleep.

I'd just been talking about taking more magnesium so these Link Nutrition Magnesium Food Based Mineral Natural Health Supplements (£15.95 for 30 capsules) couldn't have come at a better time. The supplement encourages relaxation and regulates the body's stress response system. They also offer a 15% off your next purchase code.

I'm already a fan of Neal's Yard Remedies Wild Rose Beauty Balm and inside is a 15g pot (£12). It's a one-pot-wonder suitable for all skin types enriched with provitamin A, Vitamin E and rosehip seed oil. It'll nourish and make the skin glow (they also offer a code for £10 off if you spend £30).

There's a 30 day free trial of Calm App with over 100 guided meditations, sleep stories and music to reduce stress and anxiety, calming the mind and body before sleep.

From Guinot their is a 15ml of the Gommage Biologic Exfoliating Gel which gently exfoliates the skin activating cellular regeneration.

And the star of the box - Jurlique's Limited Edition Fragrant Rose Hand Cream (100ml - £29) which is divine. Jurlique are offering 15% off your next purchase.


Moving on to the final items in the box..


I simply adore the self-heating eye masks from Spacemasks and was super pleased to see one in the box. There's also a hair mask from L'Oreal - Botanicals Fresh Care Arnica Repairing Mask (£2.99) and GLOV Make up Remover ECO (a re-usable make up removing glove).

It's a great box and review will follow for some of the items. Did you pick one up?

July Empties

Here's what I've been using up in July:


Rodial Pink Diamonds Magic Day Gel 2ml sachet - my skin loved this deliciously scented gel. So much so I rushed out and bought a 9ml travel size. It's perfect for summer as it's so light and absorbs instantly.

Neal's Yard Remedies Frankincense Intense Lift Serum 2ml - again, my skin loved this. I'd love to try full size and will maybe pick it up in autumn.

As you'll know I'm doing project 10 pan for perfumes - see my posts HERE and HERE. This Shay & Blue Dandelion Fig Perfume 30ml is my third empty in the project 10 pan. I've got another bottle of this but it's one I'll buy again and again. 

As you'll probably know I'm obsessed with Beauty Pie. This is my first empty from them - their Great Skin Foundation in Fair 150 Shell 30ml. See my review HERE. This foundation lasted just under six months (I'd also been using some other ones during that period). I've now got back ups of back ups!

D'Alchemy Neck & Decolletage Wrinkle Refill 1.5ml - which was quite a small sachet for the area it's to cover. I liked it but only got one and a bit uses from the sachet so not sure (I adore the brand though!)

REN Atlantic Kelp & Microalgae Anti-Fatigue Bath Oil 10ml - nice to use, not sure I noticed much difference with reviving tiredness but would buy again.

Micheline Arcier Aromatherapie Harmonie Bath Oil 15ml - the creme de la creme of bath oils! You only need the tiniest amount for a richly scented relaxing bath. I received this one in my February Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box. It's always on the wishlist!


Dr Hauschka Regenerating Hand Cream 15ml - which was gorgeous! I'll definitely pick this up full size when my stash reduces a bit.

Clockface Beauty Cuticle & Hand Oil with Frankincense & Rose Otto 10ml - totally fell head-over-heels for this. See my review HERE. I'll definitely buy this again.

Innersenses Pure Harmony Hair Bath 59.15ml - nice to revisit this brand which can be bought at places like Naturisimo and Content Beauty. 

YTTP Superfoods Cleanser which I first tried via A Beautiful World. See my review HERE. I've got another of these stashed away which I bought in Sephora.

Molton Brown Fiery Pink Pepper Bath & Shower Gel 30ml - nice to use, maybe not my fav MB scent so wouldn't buy.

Belenos Skin Botanique Repair Serum - loved this. See my review HERE. Would buy when my stash reduces a bit.

*Laouta Beach Body Oil Fig SPF6 100ml - loved this summer inspired low SPF which I used mainly as a body oil. See my review HERE.

What have you been using up this month?

Love Lula: Neal's Yard Remedies: Prepare for Bed Night Time Gift

I'm always excited when I see Christmas gifts arriving at Love Lula. This month as part of the Love Lula Accredited Blogger Program I picked up my first gift set - Neal's Yard Remedies Prepare for Bed Night Time Gift (£12.50)*.


The gift set comes in a pretty recyclable cardboard box and the products inside are generously wrapped in tissue (there's also a sheet of tissue nestled inside to wrap the box - which I think is a nice touch).


Inside is:

Remedies to Roll for Relaxation 9ml
Goodnight Pillow Mist 8ml

Ingredients are sustainable, ethical and fair trade and the organic English Lavender was selected with expert advice from the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew and is especially grown for Neal's Yard Remedies in Hampshire. 

Remedies to Roll for Relaxation is a pocket friendly roll on aromatherapy blend which help to relax your body and mind before bed. It can also be used throughout the day to ease stress and tension. Blended with Lavender, Bergamot & Frankincense to soothe and relax.

To use: roll onto temples and wrists breathing in the calming scent.

Goodnight Pillow Mist is an award winning sleep aid which will improve your sleep from first use. Formulated with organic Lavender, Vetiver and Mandarin essential oils it will promote a feeling of calm and relaxation.

To use: spritz 1-3 times around the bedroom just before bed and lightly over your pillow.

I think this duo is fab. I suffer from stress and anxiety and have found myself to be more relaxed. It's a great treat to yourself, a gorgeous secret santa gift or Christmas gift.

Naturisimo 10th Birthday Discovery Box

Naturisimo created a fabulous discovery box worth £188 and costing only £19.95 for their 10th Birthday (wow how did that happen!) The box has of course now sold out!


The star product for me (and probably a lot of others) is Tata Harper's Elixir Vitale 10ml (which is worth a staggering £116!) A review will follow on this one!


Also inside is new to me brand Agent Nateur. There is a 1.5ml try-me vial of their Holi Oil Refining Youth Serum. Full size costs £113 for 30ml (and will probably never be in my shopping basket) so this is great to try.

From Inlight is a 2ml sachet of their Intensive Line Softner (full size 28ml retails at £78) so again, this is nice to try and gets rave reviews!

From Aromatherapy Associates is 3ml Fine Line Face Oil which I'm looking forward to trying. Huge fan of this lovely brand.

There are 3 products I've used several times before which are great additions to the box - Caudalie's Premier Cru The Cream 15ml, Aurelia Probiotic Skincare's Refine & Polish Miracle Balm 20ml and Madara's SOS Hydra Moisture & Radiance Mask 12.5ml.

The final items are two Neal's Yard Remedies sachet samples - Frankincense Intense Lift Serum 2ml and Frankincense Intense Lift Cream 2g. I've wanted to try these products so these samples are great.

Did you manage to pick up a box? What are your thoughts on the contents? Oh and Many Happy Returns Naturisimo!

I'm a huge fan of Latest in Beauty and their "Build your Own Box". I choose "Beauty Guru" which is 9 products for £18 a month including p&p. (you can also choose 3 products for £9 per month or 6 products for £15 per month). Sign up HERE. I think this month is one of my favourite boxes.

So what did I pick? (oh and you also get a free sample or two).


WOW!


I'm a huge fan of Jurlique's Rosewater Balancing Mist (15ml) and have picked this up again and again. I first tried it in 2013 (mini review) and no doubt it'll be a choice again!

I was pleased to see Tropic Skincare as a pick! I picked up a 5ml size of their fab Super Greens Nutrient Boost Serum. I've tried it before and loved it. See my review HERE.

Totally new to me brand is 58 Lifestyle and I picked a 50ml bottle of their Balancing Bath Oil which has notes of Green Mandarin, Geranium, Coriander, Jasmine and Ylang Ylang. There's also a code for 15% off any of their products (upon checking the website this bath oil normally costs £25!) A review will follow as the product looks and smells gorgeous!

I'm a huge fan of Neal's Yard Remedies Wild Rose Beauty Balm and I picked up a generous 15g trial size.

From Aurelia Probiotic Skincare is their gorgeous Revitalise & Brighten Hand Cream 7ml. See my review HERE. If this is a pick I always pick it up as I love it so! (and these size are great for my handbag or in the desk drawer!)


The Natural Lipsticks from Burt's Bees are absolutely fantastic (these retail at £9.99 each). I've already got both these colours which I love - 501 Blush Basin and 523 Sunset Cruise (I've earmarked these ones for Christmas gifts!) Both are very wearable with long lasting colour.

Also from Burt's Bees is their Spring Splendour Lip Gloss which is in a pretty pink shade.  I'm a huge fan of PHB Ethical Beauty (I love their Organic Eyeliner in Brown). This Lip Crayon in Pink which is my final choice this month can be worn all over the lips or as a liner.


I also got some free samples:

Regenerate Advanced Toothpaste 14ml (I've tried this before and really liked it)
Urban Veda Turmeric+Botanics Radiance Replenishing Night Cream 2.5ml sachet
Philosophy Amazing Grace EdT 1.5ml vial

September Empties

I'm not going to use up anything else this month so here are my empties:


Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist 15ml - I'm a huge fan of this rose scented mist. See my review HERE. I've got several of these minis in my stash but I'd buy again.

Aromatherapy Associates Renewing Rose Body Cream 40ml - which is the lushest rose scented cream ever! I've used it a few times and find it deeply moisturising. Would buy again.

Neal's Yard Remedies Wild Rose Hand Cream 30ml - I'm using up too many rosey things this month! A rich and deeply nourishing hand cream. I just cracked open a new one.

Nourish Golden Glow Illuminating Face Shimmer 15ml - I'm a huge fan of this product and have bought it loads. See my review HERE. This will be replenished!

Rosalena Goodness & Tonic Face Mist 15ml - gorgeous to use and I'll pick it up again at some point. See my review HERE.

JOIK Energising Bath Salts with Grapefruit, Orange & Lemon Essential Oils 500g* - these were fantastic and great value for money. See my review HERE. I'll definitely buy them when my stash reduces a bit.

mio double buff dual action enzyme exfoliator 50ml - this was lovely to use with just the right amount of scrubbiness. Would maybe buy when my stash reduces a bit.

Aromatherapy Associates Inner Strength Bath & Shower Oil 55ml - which is one of my favourite Aromatherapy Associates products. See my review HERE. This one was a gift from my friend Julie but I'm sure I'll buy it again.

Diptyque Philosykos EdT 12ml - which is one of my favourite fig scents. Will buy it again for sure.

Elemis Revitalise-Me Bath & Shower Gel 30ml - it was nice to re-visit Elemis! Apex Hotels offer Elemis minis in their rooms which were a real treat. I'd maybe buy full size.

Olverum Bath Oil 15ml - I love this bath oil. See my review HERE. I've got a few of these minis in my stash but I'd buy this full size.

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer in Geranium & Neroli 40ml - I'm a huge fan of the product but prefer the unscented original version. Already cracked open a new one.


John Masters Organics Lavender, Rose, Geranium & Ylang Ylang Soap 42g* - I've used this lovely soap several times. Would buy again.

Various Stop the Water 6ml samples - White Sage Shower Gel, White Sage Body Lotion, Lavender, Sandalwood Shampoo & Conditioner. These seemed quite nice although I sometimes find it hard to tell if I'm going to like something from a small sachet.

Herbfarmacy Body Oil samples x 2 - which seemed lovely. Would probably buy full size.

Corinne Taylor Balance Himalayan Bath Salts** which came in August's Skin Organics Beauty Box. I'm already a huge fan of the brand and it's likely that I'll buy them again.

You Dirty Scrub Mint & Eucalyptus Bath Salts 100g - these smelt glorious! I did find they clumped a bit together in the bath but that didn't spoil the enjoyment. I'd maybe buy again.

Dr Alkaitis Organic Ageless Facial Elixir vial - again a teeny sample. It seemed nice but just not enough to get a feel for the product.

Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel 5ml - huge fan of this product and the brand. See my review HERE. I've got a full size of this awaiting opening!

Phaedon Coton Egyptien EdT sample vial - I love that Bloom Perfumery offer a fantastic sample service with most at £2 for a 1ml vial. I have totally fallen for this beautiful fresh perfume and of course now want full-size!

5 Body Lotions I'm Currently Loving



These are the body lotions I'm finding I'm reaching for the most right now:

Geranium & Orange Body Lotion from Neal's Yard Remedies which came to me as a magazine freebie. It has a totally uplifting floral citrus scent (I'm a sucker for anything Geranium). The lotion absorbs quickly leaving the skin feeling deeply moisturised and smelling sweetly. 

I'm a huge fan of Gallinée and simply adore their La Culture Body Milk*. It's just really lovely to use and absorbs straight away leaving the skin feeling deeply nourished. See my review HERE.

I tried a sample of Aesop's Rind Concentrate Body Balm and instantly fell for the uplifting citrus scent. The lotion absorbs really quickly (and smells incredible) and is suitable for all year round use. Perfect for cheering up the winter blues and cooling the skin in summertime.

Bramley products were a new try for me this summer. Their Body Lotion with Juniper Berry & Bergamot is light and easily absorbed with a delicious scent.

My final pick is newly launched Joyful Body Lotion (100ml)* from Green People which is available in Joyful Gift Set* (with 100ml Body Wash) £19.95 and is scented with Tangerine & Cypress. The Christmas gift sets this year are exquisite (link) and buying one supports Butterfly Conservation which helps to protect and preserve British butterflies, moths and the environment. The packaging is designed in-house by Anna Parkinson. The lotion is absorbed quickly and the scent is gorgeous (further review will follow).

What's your favourite body lotion?
