Late to the Party

Here's the products that I've loved using the most during August: It's a rare treat to get to try the entire product range of a brand, but this month saw that happen twice! Firstly was the capsule range from the fabulous Lime & Lilac after I was lucky enough to be chosen as a brand ambassador for. And also, the entire range in the form of a starter set from Meadow Botanical Skincare, which I won this month in an Instagram giveaway. * Denotes PR Samples *Lime & Lilac - The entire range! In August I was delighted to be chosen as a brand ambassador for one of my favourite brands - Lime & Lilac. As such, I was sent the entire range of Lime & Lilac products to review. In this package was included the new-to-me Passionflower Cleansing Oil, which has been on my wish-list since Lisa announced it as the newest addition to her range earlier this year. And the long wait did not disappoint!  Also included were two products that I already kn...

* This post does contain some items which have been PR Gifted, but I'm including them as they really do work! We all know it's coming, but if you're like me, you may not have given too much thought about the Menopause until you've started to experience some of the symptoms yourself. At first, it may not be obvious. I spent the first few months experiencing new or heightened symptoms and spent so much time asking "Is it me, or...?" For example, you're in a shop and suddenly their central heating suddenly feels unimaginably hot and stifling, you start to feel overheated, flustered and slightly claustrophobic - "Is it me, or is it hot in here?" I've always been an anxious person, but then I start having more moments of anxiety about things that wouldn't usually bother me. Why is it getting worse? Is it 'just me' or what is going on?! I'm usually a great sleeper, but then I start having really crazy dreams and d...

I'm delighted to announce that I recently became a brand ambassador for one of my favourite brands  - Lime & Lilac. * Products have been gifted to me as part of my role as brand ambassador. However, my reviews are based on my own honest opinions. Links are not affiliated and content is not directed. I personally think that the UK truly leads the way with its home-grown independent, small-batch, botanical beauty brands and for me, Lime & Lilac is the jewel in the crown.  Founded by Lisa Colegate, an intelligent, nature-loving, friendly, funny, feisty woman who has the most amazing skin you ever did see. She certainly is a fine advertisement for her own brand - she rarely wears makeup and her natural skin looks like a ray of sunlight is bathing her in an ethereal glow all throughout the year! Lisa attended horticultural college in the grounds of Peterborough Cathedral and her love of skincare and nature fused to create the Lime & Lilac brand. A self-c...

Other subscription plans are available - Subscribe  HERE. Let's taker a closer look at this month's products: The August Box featured four full size products and a sample sachet - total value is £61.00 I'll be honest, it would be pretty hard to beat the July box which featured some amazing products, including a Dafna's mini sampler kit in a makeup bag (which I didn't get - kicking myself!!). But this month's box was still pretty impressive. As ever, there is a 25% discount code offered to redeem against purchases from any of the brands featured in this month's box. Madara Eye Contour Cream (RRP £26) It seems almost guaranteed that there will be a Madara product in every Love Lula box! I'm not complaining though as Madara are a great brand and I...
