LoveLula Beauty Box February 2014 // REVIEW

Hey guys! I recently won the February LoveLula Beauty Box in Ria's giveaway and I was so happy about that, especially since it contained an EOS lip balm, which I have always wanted to try. I thought that I would do a post about the box because I always see these sorts of posts and love reading them (I admit often with a little jealously of what lovely things people get in some boxes)! If you haven't ever heard of a beauty box like this it is basically a box that you receive through the post, on a subscription basis which is normally every month, full of goodies.

The LoveLula Beauty Box currently costs £12.50 per box and is filled with lots of lovely, natural products! The box that I received is worth around £32.97 (not including the MyChelle sample pack which I couldn't find the price of) so you really do only pay a fraction of what the products would cost to buy individually.

The thing I was probably most excited about, like I said before, was the EOS Strawberry Sorbet Lip Balm (worth £5.99)! I think this was probably the first ever hyped up product that I really wanted to try, but because, until recently, they used to only be available to buy in America, I could never really fulfil that wish. So far it has lived up to my expectations, which I am obviously happy about - the formulation is really light whilst still being moisturising, making it perfect for going under a lipstick!

The next thing was a MyChelle Sensitive Skin Sample Pack (I can't find out how much this is worth but I have left the link for the MyChelle product section) that contained four sachets - a 1.9ml Pure Harmony Cleanser, 3.5ml Pure Harmony Mask, 0.5ml Pure Harmony Serum and a 1ml Pure Harmony Cream! I had never heard of MyChelle before which made me look into some of their products and they seem to have good reviews, so I look forward to giving all of these a try.

Normally I absolutely hate the smell of all products that smell of rose, so I was definitely surprised to find that the mini 59ml bottle of  the Dr Bronner's Hemp Rose Pure-Castile Soap (worth £5.49 for 237ml) actually smelt very pleasant! This is an extremely mild and gentle "18-in-1" soap that can be used for everything from general body, face and hair washing, to being suitable for pest control, cleaning dishes and laundry - I even read that you can use it as a mild toothpaste which lead to me saying "wow..toothpaste" outloud. It has a very light rose scent that reminds me of something but I just can't place, and I can imagine it appealing to lots of people as it isn't one of those obvious, bold rose scents!

Lastly was a mini 15g GlamGlow Youth Mud Face Mask (worth £49.99 for the 50ml pot) which is another hyped up product! I haven't had a chance to try this yet, so I can't give any sort of opinion on it except that it does smell lovely, but going on the comments I've heard about it I expect it to be a great product.

With this being the first ever beauty box that I have tried, I can definitely say that I was left really impressed! I can see myself using all of these products very willingly so I will have to look into more beauty boxes for the future. Maybe I will do some more beauty box posts soon!
