This month's lovelula was dedicated to organic products due to Organic week at the beginning of September and in a way I was a little concerned that the price points of the organic products. I was worried that it would mean we ended up with tiny samples but thankfully this wasn't the case and once again Love Lula has managed to curate an amazing beauty box.

I've been waiting for lots of orders so I thought I would do a haul as the majority of my orders have come and only a few remain unaccounted for. My first order to arrive was from Lovelula and it was my BalmBalm as my oldest one is running out. I had to buy the tea tree oil one this time and I am really glad that the smell isn't too overpowering and I got it in time for Christmas and once again I repeat that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this. I was also really glad LoveLula included samples in my box as I forgot to do this at checkout. I received a 1.5ml sample of both Madara Time Miracle day and night creams. They are 100% natural and 70% organic and I love forward to using them. The next order to arrive was the first of my three body shop orders that arrived today, all purchased during the half price promotion, and contained three items. This order contained three items and these were the following: A 30ml bottle of the Coconut Eau de Toilette A shimmer cube of 4 3.5g gre...

I really love the December Love ME beauty box and all the boxes that I have had in my six month subscription to this company and I will be resubscribing in January as the December 2013 box is the last box which has been paid for. I love the card this month and the colouring is very classic and it makes me feel in a festive mood. This is an amazing company and a slight twist on the beauty box idea as it is great as you can pick a surprise box like I did last month, especially great if you like surprise boxes, or one of their three editions like I did this month so you know exactly what you are getting that month. I chose edition 3 this month as I fancied the night cream in the third box rather than the day cream or the 5 minute facial. This is how it looked after I pulled the info cards from over my products. I love the pink shredded paper and it is really girly, although I have to quickly bin it or put it in the recycling or my son trails it through my house and it make...

I thought this might be another interesting post for you as all as I am interested in other people day to day routines and thought I might disclose my own for you. This is my Birchbox Christmas box and I have now started to use it to contain the products I am currently using as it looks good on my bedside table and is large enough to contain everything I need it to. I am quite amazed it all fits in as it is not a huge box to keep it all in there. So, what am I currently using and what do I think of the items? This is my Tangle Teezer Compact Styler in the Metallic Gold Rush style. This is my go to hairbrush for my extremely long and thick hair as it doesn't yank on my hair and it is very ergonomic as it fits into the palm of my hand so it isn't cumbersome to use. It was also a bargain as it was in my first Youbeautydiscovery box which cost only £6.95 for this and another item. My review for that box is  here. I loved it in that review but now that I am no longe...
