Love Lula Beauty Box - February

Yesterday my Love Lula Beauty Box arrived and I'm sad to say it didn't wow me. It is a great value box but I've decided to cancel my subscription.  Feeling a bit sad as this was my first ever beauty box subscription (when it used to be Amarya). I'm now only left with Souk Souk having also cancelled my YOU Beauty Discovery box too.

Onto the contents:

Mychelle Sensitive Facial Pack (the only brand I've not tried) - sachets of cleanser, mask, cream and serum.

eos Strawberry Sorbet Lip Balm - this is my favourite item in the box. 100% natural and packed with butters and oils with a strawberry scent. It keeps lips moisturised and soft. I'm a huge eos fan.

Glamglow Youthmud Facial Mask - I'm not a fan of this mask but have a friend who loves it - so I'll pass it to her.

Dr Bronner's Magic Rose Soap - I love the peppermint variety but not so keen on the rose one.

Did you get the box?  What are your thoughts?

Here's what I've been reaching for this week:

Dr Organic Manuka Honey Cuticle & Nail Solution 15ml (£6.19 - offer at Holland & Barratt buy one get one half price at the moment) - I simply love this super moisturising cuticle serum.  It leaves the cuticles and nails in great condition and it smells rather nice too.

The Argan Company Argan Oil 30ml* (£11.99) - I won this in the company's first Twitter competition.  This oil is cold pressed from the nut, is ethically produced and rich in nutrients and essential fatty acids. My skin, hair and nails have been loving this super moisturising oil. A fuller review will follow.

Mendill Organic Wet Towelettes** - I reviewed the Lavender ones here. I love how they each have some of the same uses (use on hands and body) but some different uses too. Organic Tangerine** an opened towelette can be used to refresh the air in the bathroom and you can use it to remove oil, grime, grease and to wipe counter tops.

Organic Lemon** can be used as a face astringent or aftershave.  You can also massage the towelette onto your forehead to help with concentration issues. Organic Orange** can be put in the fridge to refresh after exercise or on a hot day. It also brightens the skin and Organic Eucalyptus** freshens, deodorises, relieves sore muscles and can soothe sunburn.

eos Summer Fruits Lip Balm - love this natural and fruity lip balm. Lasts for ages too!

Naturally Nourished Frankincense Hand Cream sample - a rich hand cream stuffed full of nourishing shea butter, kukui nut oil and scented with ylang ylang, rose and frankincense essential oils. Gorgeous!

Clinique Chubby Stick Intense in Roomiest Rose - this is a really lovely deep rose shade.

Here's what I've been using this week -

REN Rosa Centifolia 3-in-1 Cleansing Water 200ml* - simply love this rose scented cleansing water.  See my review here.

Shu Uemura Tasai Cream 250ml - my mum bought this from her hairdresser and then decided it didn't suit her hair - I gladly took it off her hands! Best applied on damp hair before blow drying. Leave the hair smooth and shiny.

FoM Remodelling Beauty Serum 25ml* - I've been sent this to review (coming soon). An anti-ageing serum which lifts, firms and improves the skin's texture.

Serge Lutens La Fille de Berlin EDP 5ml - this featured as a want during my spending ban earlier in the year.  This sample came in a Harvey Nichols GWP. It has notes of rose, pink and black pepper, violet and musk. It's simply gorgeous.

eos summer fruits lip balm - love this fruity and natural lip balm.

Oceopin L'Huile de Graines de Pin Maritime - Maritime Pine Seed Oil 15ml* - a rich face oil which is anti-ageing and suitable for dry, combination and sensitive skin types. It contains pine seed oil which gives it a herbal scent.  Full review to come.

Are you shopping your stash this week?  Have you used any of these products?
