*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?

Herbfarmacy Organic September Starter Box

Although not a newcomer to green and organic beauty and also Herbfarmacy I couldn't resist their starter box for #OrganicSeptember. It's stuffed full of gorgeous products (some I've tried before and some new ones!) It's an absolute bargain - costing only £16 plus P&P. It's the perfect box for someone just starting out on their green and organic journey.

The products are nestled inside a plain reusable box (which I'll definitely find a use for!). 

WOW! Inside you'll find:

Nourish Face Cream 20ml (£10) a fragrance free moisturiser which is suitable for all skin types. This feels rich and nourishing and will be great to use coming into Autumn (it's a new try for me!)

Mallow Beauty Balm 20ml (£13.50) a deeply nourishing balm which I already adore! See my review HERE.

Rose & Echinacea Toner 25ml (£7) which is gently astringent, refreshing and cooling. I'm looking forward to trying this (another new try).

Lip Conditioner 4.5ml (£5) with Marshmallow and Vanilla. I've had the pleasure of trying this nourishing lip balm before.

Also inside are a selection of samples (which cost 75p each - see them HERE):

Skin Rescue Balm which helps dry and itchy skin, Enriching Hand Cream which protects and restores (I've tried this before) and Refining Cleanser which cleans and smooths the skin.

There is a voucher included for 15% off your next online purchase.

It's a fantastic box. Did you pick one up?

Organic Beauty: Nourish Relax Hydrating Peptide Serum

Nourish is also taking part in part in #Campaign4Clarity, #OrganicSeptember and Organic Beauty week. 

I'm a huge fan of this brand - see my reviews - Nourish Protect Nutri Rich Body Cream*, Cellular Skincare Boxed Set, Argan Beauty Collection*, Kale Enzymatic Exfoliating Cleanser* and Illuminating Golden Glow Face Shimmer*.

I've been testing out Nourish's Relax Hydrating Peptide Serum (30ml - £20)* which nurtures and cares for skin prone to stress and allergic response. It soothes and calms the skin as well as smelling fantastic. It absorbs instantly and feels cooling and calming on the skin.

It contains an innovative blend of soothing and anti-inflammatory plant extracts which are chosen to care for sensitive skin types and resist damage whilst restoring vitality.

The serum contains anti-inflammatory extract of Bisabol and Ginger. Carrot rich in betacarotene protects while Lavender soothes (and makes the serum smell great).

To use: apply to the skin AM or PM under or over moisturiser - over for a dewy look or under for a matt finish.
