Monthly Favourites - October 2019

Image
With the change in the weather comes a change in my skincare routines. Now is the time for stepping up the hydration and skin-repairing products. My choices for this month mostly reflects these seasonal changes - the products I'm loving are the skincare equivalents to pulling out the snuggly jumpers! NK Naturals - Autumn Oil* £15.00 for 15ml (* PR Sample) I only heard about the concept of 'Seasonal Oils' last year and it's a concept that I'm a real cheerleader for. I love how they cater for the skin as it changes its requirements as the seasons change. Facial Oils are one of my favourite steps in my skincare routine and also the category in my collection that I have the most of! When I first started using facial oils I was under the impression that one was very much like another, but with every new oil I tried, I was proven wrong! Despite the recommendation by NK Naturals to use this oil at night, I've been using this oil in my mor

You've got to be quick to catch the Naturisimo Discovery Boxes as they sell out so fast! No wonder really - these are some of the best value and most thoughtfully curated edits around. The latest Naturisimo Discovery Box is the Skintelligent Box. It's unfortunately already sold out, but I'd love to share the level of fabulousity you can expect from the Discovery boxes Naturisimo - Skintelligent Discovery Box £17.95 (free delivery) Sold out! This box has a value of £84 and includes 11 items. Let's take a closer look inside: Coola - Sunless Tan Duo Dry Oil Mist (25ml) Anti-Aging Face Serum (10ml) This is my first experience with Coola and   what a great introduction! I am a bit nervous when it comes to self-tanning as past efforts haven't always been the most successful. So I'm loving the look of these two products which sound like they'll deliver that sun-kissed glow in a more user-friendly way! The

Brand Spotlight - Bumi Naturals

Image
* Some of these products were sent to me as PR Samples but my opinions are honest and my own - there is no directed content or affiliated links in this post. Who? Imogen is the formulator behind London-based Bumi Naturals. Whilst travelling to Bali, she was introduced to making beauty products and remedies from home-grown plants. She learned how to channel her positive energy into each product.  Imogen began to make the connection " between the earth, our hands and the remedies themselves. What we put in and on our bodies should be filled with good intentions, and we should understand exactly what we are putting on ourselves". After returning to England, she gained a Diploma in Organic Skincare and launched Bumi Naturals in 2017. Bumi means 'earth' in Indonesian.  Face Polish - Juniperberry, Sage, Hemp and Volcanic Ash £13.00 for 30ml/ £20.00 for 60ml I received a mini pot of the facial polish in a Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box and

Love Lula Box delivery day again. This seemed to come around quickly - this year is just flying by! The Love Lula Beauty Box is available as a one-off box for £19.95, or on a rolling monthly plan for £14.95 - both of these prices are inclusive of postage and packaging. Other subscription plans are available - Subscribe  HERE . The October box featured three full sized products, one deluxe travel size and one sample sachet. Total value is £59.00. There's also a 25% off discount code which can be redeemed at Love Lula against any products from the brands featured in this month's box. I hate to admit it, but I felt less than excited by this month's box. I didn't feel particularly eager to get stuck into any one of the products. In fact the one that most appeals is the sample sachet. I think this can be one of the problems of being a subscriber to a beauty box. On the one hand, it's the greatest feeling of excitement to receive a box of prod
