I urge you to start your exfoliating routine by inhaling deeply from the glass jar. Skin Alchemists products lend themselves very well to this olfactory stimulation. Every sniff hits you with something else. I get citrus (there's no citrus, lol) and cinnamon with loads of other things in the background. I saw a few comments on social media about there being not much in the way of chocolate in this. I agree that the name Chocolate Cove is a bit of a misnomer as the cocoa butter in this does not overwhelm the scent, (I would have called it something like Spice Sensation 😉), but the fact is, this scrub is so much more than that. Every ingredient has its place and contributes to an outstanding scrub. The exfoliation comes from the salt and coconut shell powder and it's highly effective, leaving skin perfectly moisturised and perfumed. I can imagine it being even more welcome during autumn and winter because of the choice of essential oils.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">I've never met a Skin Alchemists product I didn't like, and this is no exception.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">I thought this might be an update of <a href="http://becksbunnyfreebeauty.blogspot.com/2018/04/review-march-natural-beauty-box.html#more" target="_blank">The Gorgeous Soldier</a>, a chocolate scrub that disappeared from Skin Alchemists repertoire, but this product is a different beast entirely. And probably superior, although I'd love the chance to compare them. In my eyes this company can do no wrong* and they set the bar so high that others can only watch and dream of being this good. </p><p style="margin: 0px;">Buy this now.

This was offered by Love Lula as an extra product to try and I was thrilled to accept. Earth Kind are vegan and plastic free. The bar I received was for frequent use, which was a good choice for me as I've recently been washing my hair every day due to the hot weather. It didn't have the nicest of scents (I didn't detect any citrus and there's no essential oils in this), but what it lacked in that department, it more than made up for with its performance. It lathers up surprisingly well and really leaves the scalp and hair feeling clean. I did need a conditioner afterwards, which is normal for me, as most shampoos, bars included, leave my hair very knotty and horrid until conditioner restores it. Once my hair was dry, though, I was amazed by how soft and silky it was. This bar is a total winner and I'd 100% use this range again.</p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;">Ingredients: SODIUM COCOYL ISETHIONATE, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL, AQUA (WATER), POLYGLYCERYL-4 LAURATE, GLYCERIN, ERYTHRITOL, PARFUM, PANTHENOL, BENZYL ALCOHOL, DEHYDROACETIC ACID, TETRASODIUM GLUTAMATE DIACETATE, ALPHA-ISOMETHYL IONONE, CI 77288, CI 77007.<o:p></o:p></p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px;"><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/berry-blend-facial-oil" target="_blank">GORGIOS LONDON BERRY BLEND OIL</a><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbvR5ZdB1lV5InLQWjJklizmQ5RGqBxpuYTvAIYzWY26xmFuqL2dkcHZeH-nnVhEHNrSbDtUnrU2wnmjJZq34H_Kk6t5TubmD3tZBA63YS49H0-xNqSvG4TKmTsf82WWzOMNd5Pg2pc9w/s4142/P1050106.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4142" data-original-width="2651" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbvR5ZdB1lV5InLQWjJklizmQ5RGqBxpuYTvAIYzWY26xmFuqL2dkcHZeH-nnVhEHNrSbDtUnrU2wnmjJZq34H_Kk6t5TubmD3tZBA63YS49H0-xNqSvG4TKmTsf82WWzOMNd5Pg2pc9w/w410-h640/P1050106.JPG" width="410" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span face="" style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; text-align: left;">I came
across this new-to-me brand on Love Lula and was very interested in this oil,
as I've recently tried other berry oils and enjoyed them very much.</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj85viSJskg0Sv6X2ESxbak6RfNoyF6YiwFarIUZasivlQmmUtkp4Tz6nduuJ7B6Ti-uZ3Vk7bAp0lXgaP9uozI3bMFTAUfWawWgcxEftqcIYl8qLGbAeEVNFA2QIMfMA-EuZQrayhmjUs/s4098/P1050107.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4098" data-original-width="2407" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj85viSJskg0Sv6X2ESxbak6RfNoyF6YiwFarIUZasivlQmmUtkp4Tz6nduuJ7B6Ti-uZ3Vk7bAp0lXgaP9uozI3bMFTAUfWawWgcxEftqcIYl8qLGbAeEVNFA2QIMfMA-EuZQrayhmjUs/w374-h640/P1050107.JPG" width="374" /></a></div><p style="margin: 0px;"></p><p style="margin: 0px;">This is a blend of blueberry, cranberry, raspberry, strawberry and pomegranate together with grapeseed, jojoba and sunflower. Blends don't come much better than that, in my opinion. The outer cardboard box is printed with a bright berry pattern, which I'll probably cut up and repurpose, and the bottle is just as eye-catching. </p><p style="margin: 0px;">The oil itself sadly doesn't smell of much, as I've found with berry oils (raspberry is strong, but not very nice, on its own) but here the disappointment ends because this bottle is a cracking skin treat. The oil is lush and non-greasy and sinks in well. I find it perfect to then add moisturiser before my make-up.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">It's worth noting that the bottle states that this is a night time oil. However, I didn't want to be restricted to when I can use this delightful product, so I used it morning and night and I definitely didn't find it too heavy for day time use, far from it. It was perfect for both. </p><p style="margin: 0px;">A total winner and one I'd use again and again.</p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;">Ingredients: Vaccinium Corymbosum (Blueberry) Seed Oil Fragaria Ananassa (Strawberry) Seed Oil Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Seed Oil Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Seed Oil Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil Tocopherol Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Seed Oil Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil<o:p></o:p></p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px;">You can view these products and more at <a href="http://www.pntra.com/t/8-10835-153315-137274" target="_blank">Love Lula</a></p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;">*As a member of the Love Lula Accredited Blogger Programme, I choose products to review at my blog.

<span style="text-align: center;">Reviewing a pillow spray in this time of crisis seemed like a no brainer and I don't doubt I'm among millions throughout the world suffering from insomnia since March.</span><br />
I was lucky enough to win some Kiss the Moon minis in a recent competition which I enjoyed immensely so their spray seemed like the obvious choice. There are two to choose from - Love and Dream - both in exquisite packaging with a lovely atomiser bottle that looks impressive on a bedside table. As Dream contains lavender, it had the edge for me as I find this essential oil particularly effective. Dream actually contains a mixture of lavender, Roman chamomile, bergamot and cedarwood. Lavender and bergamot I love, the other two I'm not so keen on. However, lavender tends to win out in a scent so I was hoping this would be a winner.<br />
Unfortunately, as beautiful as the product is, it wasn't for me. I couldn't get on with the scent at all, too musky and masculine by far. Another minus point was despite the fact I sprayed the product just before sleep, it didn't linger in the air at all. An essential oil diffuser can be bought for less than the price of this spray which would be more effective and cost-efficient in the long run.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">I love Alteya Organics, even though I still can't get their name right and probably spell it 3 different ways in every blog post I write. What I love most about them is their rose products and their descriptions of the beautiful Bulgarian rose valley. I've been an avid user of their rose and rose alba hydrosols for a while, with rose alba being my favourite and I decided to try another of their flower waters.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately I've not had luck with hydrosols in the past as, apart from rose, I've found them all too stinky. Chamomile, frankincense and even lavender, have all bitten the dust as being unpalatable to my, ahem, delicate nose. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The last throw of the dice before I abandon flower waters for good and stick to my tried and tested rose, was Melissa from Alteya (in a glass bottle of course). I've recently studied herbalism and noted the properties of lemon balm and I'm growing a little fledgling plant at home.<br />
The scent of this isn't what I'd hoped for. I can't detect any lemon and it's not the nicest. But it's not as unpleasant as other flower waters.<br />
Indeed, it is tolerable enough to use and I found it very soothing when I sprayed it on the back of my neck after making it sore by trying to scrub hair dye stains off 😳 It's also so cooling for a spritz on a hot day.<br />
Melissa is a versatile herb. It is an anti-inflammatory and good for eczema. It's an astringent, good for oily skin and greasy scalp and it's also antibacterial and antiviral.<br />
Hydrosols are the base for lots of products, so as well as using this on its own as a toner, essential oils could be added to it to make, amongst other things, room spray, linen spray, cooling face spritz or a body spray.<br />

I was pleased to see a sample of Rahua's hair wax at Love Lula as I wanted to try it before committing to the full size, as there are a lot of hair styling products I don't get on with. Now I've reluctantly got longer hair due to the current situation, many of my pastes and waxes are not working, just leaving me with greasy hair.<br />
Unlike traditional waxes, this didn't leave my hair greasy and did a good job easing frizz when used in tiny amounts. There isn't much hold but then if I wanted volume and hold, I wouldn't use a wax anyway.<br />
I enjoyed using this product. This would be worth trying a full size of in the future.<br />

Hippeas!<br />
Refreshers!<br />
Vegan biscuits!<br />
<br />
Truly a treat this month.<br />
I love Hippeas. These were very tasty but I will always prefer the cheese ones.<br />
Refresher sweeties are a no brainer. I always take sweets to work but these went into my private top drawer ;-)<br />
The green bean crisp things were a bit boring.<br />
The Salt of the Earth deodorant was surprisingly effective.<br />
The (zero waste) little tiny slab of PLAYin chocolate was great and actually big enough as it was so rich.<br />
The Tofu I haven't used yet.<br />
The Vegan Bakery coconut vegan biscuits were absolutely mega.<br />
The Prodigy Peanut and Caramel Cahoots chocolate bar = 😍😍😍<br />
And finally, OMG, biscotti dip with dippy sticks! I didn't know this was out and I absolutely loved it. Hard to choose, but this was probably the best thing in a truly splendid box.<br />

This was the first vegan zero waste eye cream I had ever come across as most tend to be packaged in dropper bottles or plastic tubes and it appears Herbfarmacy are now packaging all their products in glass and metal, so good on them.<br />
This boasts eye-loving ingredients like cornflower and arnica and it feels very soothing and cooling when it goes on. It also sinks in quick so make-up's ready to go on. It doesn't smell that nice, which put me off a little but overall, it was an enjoyable experience, so I'd give this 4 out of 5.<br />

I've been interested in French brand NatOrigin since their mascara and eyeliner featured in the LL beauty box. Although their products don't look that exciting to me, I'd say they were a dark horse because this powder is probably the<b> best</b> natural powder I've ever used.<br />

It contains argan oil, arctic raspberry seed oil and rosemary amongst other things. It's a perfect match for me colour wise and it goes on beautifully with a brush. It wasn't drying, it set make-up well and it lasted. I'd use this again and again without needing to look elsewhere. However, it's not cheap at £26.25, although it does go a long way and lasted way longer than a month.</div>

This was an extra product sent by LL for review. Being a huge fan of Esse's chocolate face scrub (you could honestly eat it for dessert), I looked forward to trying it. I had mixed feelings towards it. It's chock full of great oils and its main ingredient is rooibos. It was thick and had a handy stick in the tube to stop those annoying manky bits collecting around the neck. It felt great going on and was non-greasy. The downside was that I didn't like the smell. I know I always make a really big thing of scent on here and if it smells bad, it <i>is</i> enough to completely put me off products, but that's just me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Despite the smell of this though, I compromised and used it at night time as an intensive treat just before I went to sleep. It's very moisturising and effective but it's not something I would buy again, plus there are so many zero waste options that there's no need to use hand cream in tubes anymore.</div>

Mila's quite a hard lady to pin down as she doesn't have a website. She does have a huge following on Instagram, though, and posts the most beautiful photos. This lovely mini bottle came with a Kraft paper label but was too small to feature ingredients, so I can't provide a list here. However the majority are strawberry seed oil, rosehip seed oil and hemp seed oil, all organic and cold-pressed. I usually use serum followed by oil but I used this on its own until I finished the bottle and I absolutely loved it and would use it again in a heartbeat. I've contacted Mila to ask about her other products.<br />

An immense cheer went up from this subscriber when I found this lovely brand had returned to the box. A huge fan of Holly's calendula salve, I've been wanting to try something else for a while. This balm has just four ingredients - soy wax, almond oil, dandelions and rosemary essential oil.<br />
It's a pale, non-greasy salve and it smells gorgeous. I love rosemary and have it growing in my garden. I rarely use it, though, as I forget it's there, I really should make some skin care with it. I also think dandelions are underrated as a health benefit and it's so nice to use skin care with these lovely natural analgesics in. I posted photos on Instagram after intensive use of this when my son came home with not one but two head injuries (in the same place) and the healing was quite remarkable. I've used this for miscellaneous things for both of us and I love it.<br />

I love a cleanser as I might have mentioned before. This one is the lightest white powder which yes, does go everywhere like flour when you add a bit of water to it on the palm of your hand. And despite the fact the sink looks like you've been using cocaine afterwards, it's a gorgeous cleanser. I've been using it after my oil cleansing and I find it really thorough and deep cleaning. It feels great when it lathers up and that it's really making a difference. My skin is so soft after using it. I'm still using the facial mud bar in the last plastic-free box and it's so nice to find another zero waste cleanser I like. This one's such a great price too at £7.95. Flawless have great plastic free options and do lovely brushes too. They also sell eco-friendly glitter.<br />

And again, a warm welcome back to Meadow, who've featured in the box before. This gorgeous balm is so soft and fragrant and just melts into the skin. I've been using it at night as I prefer something lighter during the day under make-up and it's just perfect to recharge overnight.<br />

This brand has since changed its name to All Earth Minerals and supply a range of cosmetics in cardboard and bamboo pots (the sifter in these is plastic). I haven't used this yet as bronzer looks a bit silly on my pasty face but I will get around to having a go and if not, I will pass it on. I absolutely love the cardboard tube packaging although I guess you would have to decant it into a tin or jar if you wanted to stick a big brush in it.<br />

<b>SIMPLY VEGAN PLAIN CHOCOLATE CINDER TOFFEE</b><br />
<br />
Very tasty. Enough said. They can sack off the plastic though.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>THE NUT SHACK PIRI PIRI FLAVOURED NUTS</b><br />
<br />
These are not something I'd normally choose but I forced them down my craw regardless.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>THE HUMBLE CO. FLOSS PICKS</b><br />
<br />
I don't normally use floss picks as I prefer bamboo floss but I've used a couple of these in a pinch and I'll keep them handy in the cupboard. Despite the bamboo handle though, the floss appears to have plastic in it which somewhat defeats the object.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>AQUA LIBRA RASPBERRY AND APPLE DRINK</b><br />
<br />
A very tasty drink. I'd buy this again.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A little whinge here that I bought a bag of these from Poundland a while back and they are also for sale in Aldi. So as a budget buy, I don't really want to see them in a subscription box. I'm just splitting hairs because they are mega!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<b>POLLEN & GRACE SUPER SQUARE</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I thought this was a little square of dark chocolate and was disappointed when I opened it to find it was more of a snack, er... square. When I have a snack bar, I prefer it to be fruity, I'm not keen on them being chocolatey. So this was okay but not something I'd pick up again.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm somewhat partial to My Haircare's products having used their red and platinum shampoos. I've also been using their conditioner for colour-treated hair for a while, which smells of parma violets 😊. The platinum shampoo is a fabulous choice for bleached hair as it really takes away yellowish tones. When their new Quartz shampoo came out I was very excited to try it as I currently have pink hair.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The shampoo is a lovely shiny dark pink colour and I'm pleased to say it works really well. My hair was pastel pink and fading when I started using it and this has kept it really refreshed. I would say the colour it is now is due to the shampoo rather than the dye and it's not really a pastel pink, more of a pale pink with a hint of lilac.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is highly recommended to keep your colour fresh rather than dyeing your hair all the time. It's another win for My Haircare, they really can do no wrong in my opinion. The only niggle I have is with their packaging. Apart from the fact it's plastic, obviously, and I'd prefer an alternative, within a couple of washes, the tops of the bottles get constantly blocked with product and I'm always messing about with them in the shower trying to get them unblocked. This has happened with every bottle of the shampoo and conditioner I've had. I'd love to see this product in a glass jar with an aluminium lid! It's worth noting though that My Haircare have now introduced shampoo bars so it's pleasing to see that they are going the right way in reducing plastic waste.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I've heard good things about The Organic Pharmacy, a fairly new brand at Love Lula. As soon as I opened these sachets the scent of citrus assailed me and I was in love 😜 You're supposed to mix the gel and serum together, which I dutifully did, while sniffing at my hands all the while. The result is gorgeously soft and primed skin, just ready for moisturiser, which is the icing on the cake really. This smells of oranges too and sinks in like a dream, just perfect under make-up. I'd love to try the full size of all these samples, they're all wonderful.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This moisturiser combines hyaluronic acid with prickly pear and olive oil to plump and hydrate skin.

There are some fabulous skin loving ingredients in this little elixir for mature skin and it's another great moisturiser for both day and night.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Awake Organics are a new brand to Love Lula. I've used their Frankin-sense serum in the past which is a lovely product and I had to choose this cleanser because I was so intrigued by the ingredients - the combination of quartz crystal and spirulina. It also contains turmeric, blue chamomile and brown rice for exfoliating. I found it gentle enough to use every day despite the exfoliating action but I'd recommend every few days for those with sensitive skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a dark green polish which transforms to a milky paste when you add a bit of water. It leaves skin feeling rejuvenated and amazing and it even brightens my skin tone. It's gorgeous, one of the best cleansers I've used in ages. Very, very special. I'd like to see the glass jar have an aluminium lid in the future.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Wanting to review a foundation, I had to choose Emani again. I've reviewed a few of their products and been so happy with them. They really are in the same league as Inika for make-up. This foundation contains hyaluronic acid to keep water in and promises a dewy finish and radiance.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPGbqGCqOBeNjfT5iIJS10jzVDkfzEkXGHwasFRbgXKl6hWelmH8K5gb_fFd-7Arzp5TxYOiBXiJYMbVvsaJPgC75LgA758Qi0EGtQDLkmCIdiOXrzEtASyI5Cpb3qMa8wYJOz5vvprqU/s1600/P1040993.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1381" data-original-width="1600" height="343" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPGbqGCqOBeNjfT5iIJS10jzVDkfzEkXGHwasFRbgXKl6hWelmH8K5gb_fFd-7Arzp5TxYOiBXiJYMbVvsaJPgC75LgA758Qi0EGtQDLkmCIdiOXrzEtASyI5Cpb3qMa8wYJOz5vvprqU/s400/P1040993.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And of course, like other Emani products, it's a joy to use. It's the perfect shade (Light) for pasty me and it's quite thin and light in texture which makes it really easy to blend, unbelivably so, so you can apply it in moments, unlike other natural foundations I've used which involve blend, blend, blend until your hand drops off.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Regarding the coverage, it isn't the full coverage I hoped for, for my less than perfect skin, more like light to medium, but I can live with that in combination with my superb Emani concealer because this foundation is truly worth it. Give it a go, I doubt you'll be disappointed.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Just to reiterate how much I love Emani, I chose to review their vegan soy mascara this month. This was a winner too like the rest of their products. The brush is big and it lengthens and thickens well. It's not quite as effective with my very poor non-existent lashes as PHB mascara but it is a very good runner-up especially for someone who's actually got some lashes to start with, unlike me!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This cream was a little bit of a mystery to me at first, as it's called a, er, cream and the direction is to apply like shampoo. So is it shampoo? Do you use it as such or do you use it after shampoo? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well, I tried both and both work! This product is pretty damn wonderful. It left my hair so soft and silky that I probably could have gotten away without using conditioner (but I didn't try because I like a conditioner lol) and it also eased my itchy scalp. It's not the cleanest product, but it's very good.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I haven't used this overnight as I didn't want the residue on my pillow, especially with the weather heating up and my tendency to have a sweaty head, ahem! I used it after shampoo and conditioner in the shower and left it for the suggested time but I found my hair rather knotty after it, disappointingly. So I don't think this product is for me although I'm going to experiment for longer with different variations of products combined with this one and report back.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I haven't tried this brand before so it was nice to get some samples. The serum is a nice smoothing product which sinks in well and leaves the skin really soft and ready for oil and moisturiser. The shampoo I liked too because it didn't leave my hair knotty like many shampoos do. I passed the man serum on and will report in my next review how that one went over.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Recently I've researched how silk is obtained for skin care. There seems to be a fatal and a non-fatal way to produce it and I contacted FOM to find out what method they employ. I haven't yet received a reply from them. I can't see that a company who uses silk can be cruelty-free so unfortunately I couldn't use this product.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Oh wow, a double black mascara and eyeliner combo! It doesn't get any better than this in a beauty box. I was absolutely thrilled. Black mascara and eyeliner are my staples and I go through a fair amount of them. The eyeliner is creamy and soft and so black. It goes on really well and lasts all day. There is a touch of smudging by the end of the day but probably no more than other eyeliners I've used so I'd recommend it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The mascara has a decent brush and both lengthens and thickens. Readers of this blog will know I have issues with mascaras which lengthen but don't thicken. This does both and although it's not to the extent of another natural mascara I've used, this is still a very good mascara. Top marks for this duo!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's really nice to see another Ayumi product in the box as I really liked their body scrub last month. This one is gorgeous too. I used it after shampooing in the shower and my hair was so soft and silky after drying. It's great if you leave it on for a couple of minutes, plus it smells gorgeous and it's only £8.99! A total winner.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">SPF 20 is too low for me but I've used this a couple of times on my face when I'm not expecting too much sun exposure. It's really good under make-up, not leaving a white residue and not making my face greasy like so many other sun creams. I would say I prefer the Madara age defying sunscreen that was featured a couple of boxes ago as it's a better texture but this one's very good too.</span></div>

Here's a look at the May Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<a name='more'></a>Despite the fact that I've never reviewed a Skin Organics box at my blog, I'm actually a semi-regular subscriber. My reasons for not giving the box a platform are twofold - time, of course, and the blogger's curse of having too many products open and natural products going off before I can finish them.<br />
I'm committed to reviewing two natural beauty boxes per month already and although the SO box ranks up there with them, I made the decision that I couldn't open every product I received in this box immediately for the purposes of review or they would merely end up in the bin before I could use them. Instead, when I purchase one of these boxes, I use the contents at my leisure, when I actually need or want to open them, rather than feeling obliged to for the purposes of review.<br />
However, I was pleased to hear that soon the Skin Organics box will be bi-monthly which I think is a really good move.<br />
All the products I've used from the SO box since I started getting it occasionally in February 2018 have been featured in my empties. I've only opened one product from last month's box so far, but regardless, here is a quick look at what's in it and rest assured, when the time comes that I open these goodies, they'll be reviewed at my blog. This was the vegan box, so the Lily Lolo lipstick (which very disappointingly contains carmine, an ingredient that I am strongly against) was substituted for an eyeliner.<br />
The box was so aesthetically pleasing. This box always looks great and this was one of the best ones I've seen with the black and white packaging.<br />

This looks fabulous. I don't come across scrubs specifically for hands very often, although I own some lovely hand scrub cubes. Coffee scrubs are the devil really in terms of having to rinse the bath, but at least I can use this one in the sink for an easier life! Looking forward to it.<br />

I was very pleased with this inclusion as a black eyeliner is a staple in my make-up collection and while unfortunately, I've just purchased two of my favourite PHB ones, I nonetheless started using this one first. It's a great eyeliner, very soft and very black. It does smudge a bit into the corners of my eyes over the day but so do other eyeliners sadly. Probably because of my saggy eyelids. 😐<br />

I love a cleansing bar and I haven't tried much skin care made with avocado (apart from the truly stinky pure avocado oil) so this was a great zero waste inclusion.<br />

<b>Bowe</b> have two products - an eyelash oil, which I own, and this balm. I've got more lip balms than I can shake a stick at, so this wasn't a good inclusion for me. However, this looks like it will be an intensive balm, so I'll save this one to use at night when I've finished my current one.<br />

Jorgobe are a Danish new-to-me brand. Like the lip balms, I have rather a lot of serums queued at the moment, so this one will have to join the list. I absolutely love a serum so I can't wait to try this one too.<br />

I've tried a few Kathleen products before and the citrus cheer range in the roll-on perfume. It's gorgeous and the shower gel is no different. As it promises, it uplifts and awakens the senses. Skin is left soft and cleansed. A great product which would be better in glass.<br />

I'm actually using a Ben and Anna vanilla deodorant at the moment and I also received the Persian lime version in the Vegan Kind box this month. The lime smells even better than the vanilla, really crisp and fruity. Readers may know I'm a huge fan of citrus skin care. Ben and Anna are really effective and the packaging is absolutely 100% eco-friendly. The only issue I have is the stick can crumble when you are pushing it up and down and can lead to a mess but really, it's a small price to pay for such a great deo.<br />

This scrub, made with minimal ingredients, is as pure as pure can be. I like a salt scrub because it's so effective but sadly this wasn't my cup of tea. It was pretty dry and smelled a bit of cheese. 😕 However, it left my skin feeling great!<br />
Zero points to KSA for the plastic container. I understand some products are problematic when it comes to containers but it's easy enough to put the likes of scrubs and butters in aluminium tins.<br />

Aromantic are an online business who sell ingredients to make your own natural beauty products and offer courses, recipes and advice.<br />
I was probably most excited about this inclusion because I love a toner/hydrosol. Of course things like orange never actually smell organgey when they're made into hydrosols (I'm thinking of how disappointed I was with a lavender spray that didn't smell like lavender) so I wasn't too hopeful about the smell. And indeed the smell is vaguely antiseptic/hospital-ish which could be worse, so I'm not complaining. The bottle is very good and sprays just right and the hydrosol is cool and refreshing. It is of course, COSMOS certified. A great spray for summer, if summer ever comes (doubtful).<br />

<a name='more'></a><b>EAST BALI CASHEW POPCORN</b><br />
<br />
Wow, this was really a guilty treat. And when I say guilty, it contains palm syrup. It doesn't get any guiltier than a product from Bali containing palm products. Apparently the team have created 400 jobs but were those jobs clearing rain forest?<br />
Moving on, this is probably the tastiest (and most expensive) popcorn I've ever had.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>SQUIRREL SISTERS RASPBERRY RIPPLE ENERGY BAR</b><br />

This was like many other of these snacks, sort of sticky, date based and a bit sickly. The raspberry flavour is nice but this isn't my cup of tea.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>BEN AND ANNA PERSIAN LIME DEODORANT</b><br />
<br />
I won't be using this one just yet as I have 2 on the go, but I've used Ben and Anna before and enjoyed it, although it's a bit crumbly to apply and you usually have to use your fingers to rub in, which defeats the object of a roll-on somewhat. Anyway, this is a really nice smelling deo, so I'll be glad to try it and it's extremely eco-friendly in cardboard packaging.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>FIID MEXICAN CHILLI LUNCH BOWL</b><br />
<br />
Wow this was soooo tasty! I was a bit scared because I'm a pussy when it comes to spice and while this was a little bit burny, I still gobbled it up at work one dinner time. I'd eat this every day with ease.<br />

<b>TENZING NATURAL ENERGY DRINK</b><br />
<br />
For some reason, I thought this drink might be minging. It really wasn't. It was fruity and refreshing and I really enjoyed drinking it at work where I always need an afternoon pick-me-up (usually a diet pop). I saw it at Tesco, so it's good to know it's widely available as I'd love to try it again.<br />

Full marks for effort (half of the fat of fried crisps) but the smoky bacon flavour was just not as tasty as other ones I've tried (I like Wheat Crunchies). It was too smoky and too salty. I wouldn't try these again.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>RAW HALO DARK AND SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE</b><br />
<br />
No prizes for guessing what I gobbled up first when I opened this box. Yes. it was the tiniest bar ever, but it was so rich that actually, it was enough. A gorgeous treat with the pink Himalayan salt giving it a certain je ne sais quoi.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A great box this month with several stand out products!<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Madara are an old favourite of the LL beauty box and you can usually guarantee a product from them once every few months. Which is handy for a lot of people (like me) who can't afford Madara's prices, especially as this comes in at a whopping £35.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This mask contains birch water and amino acids to lift and plump skin and smooth wrinkles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a lilac/grey colour and feels really soothing going on. After about 20 minutes, it's easy to wash off and it leaves the skin feeling really soft. I didn't notice my face feeling more like a 'V' shape again (as the mask claims) but after I put my skincare on top, my skin felt great.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A strange one this as we had a Seascape hand and nail cream recently (very nice it was too). Although, when I checked this, it was actually 5 months ago - time flies! I'm still using the previous cream and I like it as it sinks in really easily, so you can use it during the day, which I don't usually like doing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This has a lemon scent like the previous hand cream but I found the scent a bit foisty like the cream had gone off. I contacted LL and was sent a replacement but unfortunately that smelled the same. I began to be convinced it was my nose as no one else has complained about the smell. So I decided to pass this one on to someone who would use it, as I just couldn't get on with the smell.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A new brand at Love Lula, this body scrub features sandalwood, ginger and patchouli essential oils plus jojoba and babassu oils. The brand is all vegan and Leaping Bunny approved. The packaging is plastic and I do wish that all scrubs came in aluminium tins these days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I feared that when I opened this, it would be brown like a coffee scrub, (I've recently been using a coffee scrub and while gorgeous, I'm so sick of having to clean the bath after it!), but to my delight it was pure white and left no residue on the bath.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a really lovely heady scented product and while not very 'scrubby', it does the job, particularly on delicate skin and leaves it so soft and perfumed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This pale pink balm contains beeswax so it isn't vegan. It sadly wasn't my cup of tea as it's very hard so you feel like you're constantly going to snap it as you apply pressure. The colour is very pale and subtle if you want a really sheer wash of colour.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's the quickest skin fix I've ever used - only three minutes - and left my skin really soft and smooth. A great choice if you're short of time. Also, great to give your child a giggle. I just say 'Mummy fell in the mud' when I've got a mud mask on and he laughs his head off. 😜</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">DEAN KOOTNZ - WHAT THE NIGHT KNOWS (2011)</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="What the Night Knows by [Koontz, Dean]" height="400" src="https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51z6BfYcuLL.jpg" width="259" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">John Calvino is a cop whose entire family was murdered 20 years ago. He had dispatched the killer, Alton Blackwood to hell, or so he thought, that night, but now after a series of similar murders, he becomes convinced that Blackwood's spirit is back and able to take possession of suitable hosts.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Blackwood is indeed doing that, his crimes escalating until it is time to take John and his family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a really tense, well written novel, surprisingly gripping considering much of the action describes John's children interacting with the spirit of Blackwood loitering in the house.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been a fan of Mr. Koontz for many years and there's only been two books of his that I failed to get through (he will never win prizes with me for the dreadful Odd Thomas series). Sometimes the quality varies. Sometimes I adore his books, sometimes I think they're merely okay. This was much better than okay, a page-turner that I read really quickly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If I was going to nit-pick, I would say the long-awaited climax seemed to be a bit of a rush and the really strange inclusion of the LEGO wheel was pointless and ridiculous. I'm still pondering if he was on drugs for that segment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I recommend it to his fans or someone wanting to start off with his back catalogue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>A.J. FINN - THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW (2018)*</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img height="400" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51k4TrBmHML._SX324_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg" width="261" /></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anna's on medication for depression and anxiety. She has
agoraphobia and a drink problem. One day she meets the woman in a family of
three who have moved in across the way. After that, she sees the woman being
murdered. When she calls the police, the husband and son deny all knowledge and
present a new woman as the mistress of the house.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This book has a nod to the Hitchcock film Rear Window and
plenty of film noirs, many of which that were mentioned I have seen. It started
off great and I read it really quickly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a very tricky review to write. Unless I'm already a fan of the writer, I don't tend to know anything about the author when I start a book unless I happen to have read something online. I was halfway through this book thinking it was pretty fabulous when I asked for opinions on the facebook book group I'm a member of and got a few comments about how strange the author was. Intrigued, I read a very long article on him where his life and career as an editor was picked apart and rather horrid skeletons came to life. Prime among them being he lied on multiple occasions about having a brain tumour and said his whole family was dead from cancer and suicide, when they weren't. He wrote under a pseudonym, it's postulated, so that the big companies didn't find out who he was and when his book went to a bidding war and certain companies found out his identity, they did indeed drop out of the race.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After this, I found my knowledge coloured my opinion of the book. I should have remained objective, but I couldn't. I was pretty appalled and no longer wanted to read and my enjoyment decreased. When the end came (and sadly I had read whodunnit in the article), I was relieved to finish. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I got the book from NetGalley and while I'm reviewing here, I declined to review on their site. I didn't think it was fair to share this review when it is the work in question I should be commenting on, not the author's morality. Nonetheless, as it afffected me, I have posted an honest review here to let readers make up their minds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is a good book, an original book. It is worth a read. But I can't get past the author.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ayan are a new Bulgarian brand at Love Lula who have their own organic lavender fields. 100% natural with 99% organic ingredients, this body butter is made from just 6 ingredients - shea, coconut oil, lavender oil, macademia oil, vitamin E and beeswax (I didn't see this when I said I'd review it, as I always presume body butters are vegan).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's a lovely whipped butter, so light and melty. It's not overburdened with lavender (more's the pity!) and smells more of coconut actually. However, that doesn't stop it being a fabulous butter, highly moisturising and soothing and definitely worth a buy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another new brand at Love Lula, Beatitude are a range of aromatherapy products, all natural and all in glass bottles. There are pillow sprays, face, body and bath oils, and candles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This Peace room and pillow spray is to soothe and relax and contains lavender and frankincense essential oils amongst others in an orange blossom floral water. I love room and pillow sprays and I found this one fantastic. I sprayed it around the room before I got into bed and also on the pillow and bed covers and I found it really helpful to calm and soothe me into sleep. The scent is utterly delightful. This comes highly recommended.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When Love Lula had some of these to offer to bloggers for review, I was keen to try as I love Glossworks and reviewed Raspberry Parade last month <a href="https://becksbunnyfreebeauty.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-april-love-lula-beauty-box.html#more" target="_blank">here</a>. This is one of four new shades at Love Lula, clearly for spring and summer. I haven't worn such an overtly orange shade before but I was so intrigued by it that I had to have a go. And the results are gorgeous. It's a bright, glossy orange, and with a top coat, it did me a good few days. A lovely fun shade for sunny days.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> I absolutely love rose water and indeed, anything rose, so I jumped at the chance to try this from Ayan. Zero points for the plastic bottle, but this gorgeous organic steam distilled rose water is a treat for the face and hair. I decanted it into a glass spray bottle as I prefer to mist my waters and save cotton wool. I'm really impressed with both these offerings from Ayan, what a lovely brand.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The highlighters are creamy and then go fairly powdery when you apply them.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The bottom row of eyeshadows feature a delicate peach, a pale blue-turquoise and a dark brown. The middle one is my favourite out of the palette. It's got a golden sheen to it and it's absolutely beautiful, one of the nicest shades I've seen in some time. If you want it fairly bold, it's best to apply with your finger, while a brush will give you a more subtle finish. The peach is lovely too for a nude look, while the dark brown has a hint of purple to it and is great for a bold evening finish.</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> On the top row is the most wonderful gold. Really bright and bold this, again great if you apply it with your finger. The middle one is a pale pink, the most subtle and least shimmery of the six, which I've been using all over my eye before applying the darker shades. The final in the row is a brown with a golden shimmer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In general I'd say natural eyeshadow shades are sadly a bit pants. They're fairly dull and tend to revolve around brown. These gorgeous shades from Pacifica are a breath of fresh air. They're great for both day and night and just six colours can create a multitude of looks and as I said already, I can't get enough of that blue shade with the golden glimmer!</span><br />

It's a very clever idea to put a vitamin supplement in a vegan box and Better You are great - I use their children's vitamin D spray for my 5 year old. This contains B12, vitamin D, iron and iodine, the perfect mixture and a very welcome addition for me. It's a shame it doesn't have calcium too because I hate my current supplements, they're like bullets and even when I break them in half I still gag. 😖</div>

I don't do so well with spice although I seem to be being a bit more adventurous these days and there was no way I wasn't going to try these because I like an Indian snack. These spicy flatbread bites are extremely moreish and while a bit too spicy for me, it didn't stop me polishing off the whole bag! I didn't have an appropriate dip to hand, so I used homous, which worked for me 😉 Howdah give a free school dinner to a child in India with every purchase, which you've got to say makes a change from the likes of Walkers lining their pockets. </div>

<a name='more'></a>You can blame Netflix for the decrease in my reading. So I've scaled it back somewhat and made as much time at night as I can for my beloved books.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>COLD WATERS BY DEBBIE HERBERT</b><br />
<img alt="Cold Waters (Normal, Alabama Book 1) by [Herbert, Debbie]" height="400" src="https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51psBDF3eZL.jpg" width="266" /><br />
<br />
Synopsis: <i>Everyone thinks fourteen-year-old Violet is a murderer.
After a summer-night swim with her best friend, Ainsley, Violet is found
confused, wandering in the forest—and Ainsley’s never seen again. But without a
body, murder charges won’t stick, so Violet is sent away.</i><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>After more than a decade in a psychiatric ward, Violet
returns to her broken-down hometown of Normal, Alabama, to claim her dead
mother’s inheritance and help her overworked sister care for their unstable,
alcoholic father. Violet, still haunted by that night eleven years ago, endures
horrific flashbacks and twisted hallucinations while townsfolk spit
accusations—and for all she knows, they’re right.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>As the summer heats up, details of Ainsley’s fate appear
like a beast’s wild eyes, watching in the darkness, and grim revelations about
Violet’s family threaten to devour her. Already on the edge of madness, Violet
must fight to keep her sanity long enough for the terrible truth to burst from
the cold, dark waters.</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<br />
This was a quick read, a thriller from Amazon Prime Firsts. I'm not sure I'd rush for the second book in the series but it was interesting enough.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>HEARTS IN ATLANTIS BY STEPHEN KING</b><br />
<img alt="Hearts in Atlantis by [King, Stephen]" height="400" src="https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/515PxspQwyL.jpg" width="260" /><br />
This was five stories that were interlinked in that the same characters pop up as it goes from 1960 to 1999 with the theme of the Vietnam war running through it. It's different from his other short stories I've read (although with many of his, they're novellas rather than short stories). They're not horror or supernatural. You could argue that in a couple of them, nothing much happens (one story is about students dropping out of uni because they get addicted to a card game), but it's not really that simple. Every story keeps the reader's attention because this is Stephen King. He's a master story-teller who could write about putting the bins out and it would be gripping. It wasn't my favourite collection of his but it was worth reading and I can't wait to devour more of his.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>THEIR LITTLE SECRET BY MARK BILLINGHAM</b><br />
<img height="400" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/netgalley-covers/cover161478-medium.png" width="256" /><br />
I've read a lot of Mark Billingham's Tom Thorne thrillers. Not all of them, but the majority. I like the character, his friendship with gay pathologist Phil Hendricks and his new partner Nicola Tanner, who's still grieving for her murdered wife. When this came up on NetGalley, I jumped at the chance to review it. This one's about a murderous partnership that Thorne only stumbles on by accident, such is his tenaciousness. Conrad's a con-man who drives a woman to suicide but when he meets fruitcake Sarah (who has an imaginary child), things become darker. The two of them embark on a little spree with Thorne hot on their heels.<br />
I read this one so quickly, it seemed really short to me (hard to tell when it's on Kindle) but actually the paperback runs at 512 pages, so it's anything but short. Anyway, I devoured it. It was swift moving and easy to follow. Probably one of the best Mark Billingham's I've read in a while.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW BY A.J FINN</b><br />
<img height="400" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/netgalley-covers/cover118672-medium.png" width="260" /><br />
This little gem came up at NetGalley too and I couldn't resist when I saw that the plot had been heavily influenced by the Hitchcock film Rear Window, starring James Stewart.<br />
<br />
Synopsis: It’s been ten months since Anna Fox last left her home. Ten
months during which she has haunted the rooms of her old New York house, lost
in her memories, too terrified to step outside.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anna’s lifeline to the real world is her window, where she
sits, watching her neighbours. When the Russells move in, Anna is instantly
drawn to them. A picture-perfect family, they are an echo of the life that was
once hers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But one evening, a scream rips across the silence, and Anna
witnesses something horrifying. Now she must uncover the truth about what
really happened. But if she does, will anyone believe her? And can she even
trust herself?<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love a serum, although my collection is a little out of control at the moment thanks to beauty boxes like this one 😆 New to me brand Love Absolute are 100% vegan, use glass and aluminium packaging and source UK grown pressed oils from Bee Friendly Trust suppliers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Beck was very happy to see the word LEMON on the bottle 😍 This beauty contains tea tree and may chang essential oils, along with Corn Cromwell (avensis oil) and rosemary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was really nice to see that this has tea tree in as my skin has been pretty horrid recently, so I hoped I would benefit from using this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It smells amazing and feels very soothing going on. I have noticed that it takes its time to sink in and feels a bit greasy, so I've only been using it at night, rather than risk it in the morning when I have 2 seconds to put my make-up on. However, I used it this morning when I wasn't going anywhere and gave it plenty of time before applying my oil and moisturiser and my skin felt fine and would surely have been ready for foundation. My skin is slowly recovering from a terrible outbreak and I like to think this has contributed to its healing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a lovely serum and I'm thrilled to find one without the plastic dropper. The one observation I have is why is it called faux lemon? Yes, it smells of lemon but it still seems odd to call it that, like, we made this but didn't add lemons, so we're calling it faux lemon. Queer. However, I'm splitting hairs because it's gorgeous!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I like a mud mask. Another new to me brand, this lovely mini glass pot is filled with a fluffy, whipped-looking offering that feels so cool and nice going on. And it smells amazing, which mud masks don't usually. It left my skin feeling lovely. A splendid mask and a great size so it won't go off before I finish using it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When this was revealed I was very excited because I'm still using the Niskama face scrub from one of last year's boxes which I love. Niskama's packaging with the label held on with jute string is really cute. The moisturiser is bright orange-yellow, courtesy of the sea buckthorn. It's sunshine in a jar! How can that not brighten up your morning? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This has to be my favourite product of the box, with stiff competition from everything else. It's soft and soothing and it smells of oranges which is a massive bonus and hence perfect after the faux lemon serum to continue the citrus theme. Also, you only need a little bit for excellent moisturising so at £12 for 30ml it's amazing value for money. It's great for both day and night and it might just be my new go-to. Nothing not to like. Absolutely beautiful. Niskama have crashed my top five of fabulous skincare!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've tried Buff before, courtesy of the Natural Beauty Box and I was glad to see another product from their range. This is a lovely butter, so fragrant (fairly floral) and moisturising and ideal for the continuing saga of my eczema. I also love butters in a tin and it's a great size for on the go. Fabulous.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The round soap is perfect because you can just wet the top of it when you're using it and then store it in the tin.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This beautiful sample came in a Skin Organics Beauty Box last year and it's something really special. Containing prickly pear, sacha inchi and neroli, it's a thick golden oil that's so comforting and moisturising on the skin and does well under make-up. The full size retails at £32, however there are 10ml sample sizes. I actually prefer that companies sell their face oils in smaller sizes as it always takes me so long to use up 30ml.</span></div>

Unlike other treatments you can use this one under your skincare and make-up as just another step in the morning with no horrid residue. It's also gentle and doesn't make your face fall off. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I absolutely love receiving body care products in beauty boxes. Gallinee's wares contain prebiotics, probiotics and lactic acid to support skin's good bacteria. This body milk is for the most sensitive skins including dry and atopy-prone skin which is me right there. While I'm not sure about Gallinee's ingredients (only 94% natural), the most important thing for me and readers of this blog is that this brand is cruelty-free and vegan. As such, I was happy to try this and frankly, my skin needs all the help it can get. It's great. Really, really great. The morning after I first used it, my skin felt so soft and velvety. The two patches of eczema (up one from last month) I currently have were less inflamed and itchy and this trend has continued the more I've used this. Well worth a buy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Glossworks are a great vegan brand with a lovely range of colours and I was really thrilled to see the new shades for spring on Love Lula this week with orange, lilac and pale blue as well as this one. I think I might be reviewing one of those shortly 😊 While bright pink wouldn't normally be my first choice, this is a really nice spring or summer shade and looked great on. Another winner for Glossworks.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The stand out product in this month's box for me. Just the mention of lemon has me excited. I love lemons. I love them in my food and in my skin care. I love seeing lemon trees when I go abroad. I bought a lemon tree last year and it died because I'm crap. I did get two miniature lovely lemons off it though.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I digress. Dr. Botanicals has been featured fairly heavily in the beauty box since they started at LL and I've liked all their stuff. I wouldn't say they were up there with the most natural, but this one's not bad at all. It's a beautiful thick lotion that sinks into the skin and leaves it well moisturised. My worst patch of eczema was around 50% healed when I started using this and the butter has continued to heal it, with minimal itching. I've also been using it on a second patch of eczema with good results. A very, very good product and one I would highly recommend for dry skin. And I would buy this just for the smell! 😍</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A fairly new brand to Love Lula, Ben and Anna are a German couple who formulated this vegan deo in a paper tube. I love the packaging and the smell of this one is fabulous. I'm not all that keen on the method of application because, despite being a roll-on instead of faffing about rubbing it on with your fingers, it's fairly hard and if you don't stand there and wait for it to melt against your skin, it actually hurts to apply this. However, I suspect once summer comes, this will be a whole lot softer and easier to apply. I probably wouldn't use it in winter though.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And most importantly, does it work? The answer is yes. It's lasted through several challenging shifts at work and while there has been some wetness, I've not been stinky. Which is always a bonus.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Prior to this product, BeBarefaced haven't been on my radar, but I couldn't help noticing their cute bear packaging and their vegan status this month and thought I would try a cleanser. What really surprised me about this company is the quality of their ingredients, considering how budget-friendly their products are. The rose cleanser is £12.99 for 150ml and contains kukui oil, aloe vera, rosehip and plum oils amongst others. It's a creamy, delicately-scented wash and it leaves my skin so soft and refreshed. I've been using it as a second cleanse in the evening after my cleansing balm and on its own in the mornings and I absolutely love it. Full marks to BeBarefaced and I'll be checking out more of their products.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bali Balm are a company with strong environmental commitments. Their packaging is recyclable, they use no animal products or palm oil and they contribute to the local economy where their balms are produced in Bali.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first thing you notice about this balm is the price - £20. The second thing you notice is the excess of packaging. It comes in a pretty box with tissue paper, inside a cardboard sleeve which is then wrapped in plastic. I love reusing packaging so I'll use the box for earrings, but I checked with the company who told me they plan to ditch the box and they're not happy with the plastic either.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Onto the balm itself. The ingredients are just divine and pure as pure can be. The scent and the taste are heavenly and the balm provides a high level of moisture. I have no hesitation recommending this gorgeous balm. It really is something special and out of the ordinary, so if you're looking for a serious treat for your lips, then this is it. But be warned, it'll be difficult to keep on your lips because you'll be licking it off 😊</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Rose Tree is a luxury award-winning British company with a small range in lovely glass packaging. The eye serum comes in a really pretty pale blue glass bottle with a dropper for great application. As well as rose fruit oil and starflower, it contains arnica for its anti-inflammatory effects. It's a gentle, highly moisturising serum. I recommend it for night time use as I find it doesn't sink in too well around the eyes before make-up use but it's a wonderful rejuvenating treatment at night.</span></div>

<b>Vego White Almond Bliss</b><br />
<br />
I was thrilled with this addition as I noticed the Vegan Kind had just started selling this and my favourite vegan chocolate bar is the incredibly satisfying Vego hazelnut. Was this one as good? It really was. Rich and creamy and so tasty. I haven't found a white vegan bar this good yet.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Vegan on the Go Cookbook</b><br />
<br />
It isn't the first time a book has been featured in the box and I do like it very much as I'm a crap cook who needs help. This one has more than 40 recipes and while some are way out of my league hopefully I'll be able to manage a couple.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Natur Compagnie Organic Asian Veggie Noodle Snack Pot</b><br />
<br />
I usually find that these kind of pot snacks blow my head off with spice, however I noticed this one had no chilli, so I rejoiced. And you know what? It was really tasty and a great option to take to work. Definitely not cheap when you compare it to other pot snacks, but very yummy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Mummy Meagz Sea Salt and Honeycomb Rocky Road Cake Bar</b><br />
<br />
I was hugely impressed to see another Mummy Meagz product after the minty one a couple of boxes ago. This one was just as good, if not better. This company comes highly recommended!<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Indie Bay Snacks Spelt and Easy Cheesy Pretzel Bites</b><br />
<br />
Sounded great, tasted like cardboard. One to avoid.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Deliciously Ella Breakfast Pots</b><br />
<br />
Looks great, not tried it yet.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>UFIT Crunchers Smokehouse BBQ</b><br />
<br />
I'm not usually a BBQ flavour kind of girl but these high protein popped crisps were very moreish. A definite winner.<br />
<br />

Madara are a familiar addition to the box and as their products are expensive, it does feel like a real treat when you get a full size of one of their offerings. Although the card says this is the deep moisture fluid (which would have been better suited to my skin), I actually received the gel, which is for oily skin. I wouldn't call my skin oily; it's dry but when wearing make-up I do get fairly shiny throughout the day so I was interested to see whether this would be helpful for me.<br />
And it was. It's a great product! It really helps keep my complexion matt without drying it out, which I was worried about. I'd urge those with oily or combination skin to give it a go and see the difference it makes.<br />

It's always nice to add more Inika to my collection as they really are such quality. I haven't used a liquid eyeliner (except to go out) for quite a while. It used to be my staple every day and I was so good at applying it that it only took me moments in the morning. Then I went back to kohl, I don't know why and I seem to have got out of the knack because my first attempt with this was cack-handed to say the least. I can't blame Inika for this as the brush is really good and it's just the shape and size I like in a liquid eyeliner. However, the colour pay-off is rather difficult. The brush doesn't make an opaque line the first time; rather it's translucent and it needs multiple applications to get the line darker and bolder. Needless to say, that's asking for trouble with a liquid eyeliner, so sadly, the jury is out on this one. As I use it more, I hope to find it's my technique rather than trouble with the liquid, but I'm not convinced this one is for me. It's out of stock at LL at the time of writing.<br />

I love lip balms and I love Hurraw! so I was thrilled to get this vegan, zingy, zesty splendid offering. You can never have enough lip balms as mine are always going missing and I like to keep them in a variety of places so they are always to hand. A wonderful balm and Leaping Bunny approved together with being COSMOS certified. It's sadly out of stock at LL at the time of writing.<br />

After I'd swatched and photographed this dark brown eyeshadow, I realised from the ingredients list that it actually contains carmine, which is a major no-no for me. I don't expect any animal to die for my beauty and that includes a beetle. It's such a shame because vegan companies have proved you don't need carmine for great colours, so I don't know why it is still used. The shadow feels velvety soft for those who are interested in the quality and the packaging is nice.<br />

I was intrigued by this lovely set. Sadly, I gave the sachets to a willing user as I don't self-tan and would look pretty silly now if I slapped a sachet on my pasty face and body. For dedicated users though, the introduction of this brand must be heaven. It's so nice to see more and more products which were previously a province of mainstream beauty only being added to the natural, cruelty-free market.<br />
Zuui are COSMOS certified organic, vegan and made in Australia. (Australian green products are generally pretty fabulous!)<br />

<b><a href="https://www.lemontbotanique.com/content/cleanser" target="_blank">LE MONT BOTANIQUE ROSE CLEANSER</a></b><br />
<br />
I got this in a beauty box and having previously used LMB's rosehip oil, I really enjoyed this one. A lovely fresh cleanser that leaves your skin feeling really soft and clean.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>SISKYN NIGHT TREATMENT OIL</b><br />
<br />
This award-winning bad boy isn't cheap but it does boast a mega 16 skin-loving oils and is an amazing moisturising and regenerating treat at night. Lovely.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>BELLA AURA CLEANSER</b><br />
<br />
A nice little cream cleanser sample. The ingredients aren't pure enough for me so I probably wouldn't buy again.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>MEADOW SKINCARE CLEANSING BALM</b><br />
<br />
I absolutely loved this little pot of gorgeousness. Cleanses beautifully and smells amazing. See my review <a href="http://becksbunnyfreebeauty.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-january-natural-beauty-box.html#more" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>XENON KITION ROSE TONER</b><br />
<br />
While it wins the award for most bizarre company name, this pure rose water is gorgeous nevertheless. I wouldn't buy it again until it was in a glass bottle though.<br />
<br />

<b>ESTELLE AND CHILD TINTED MOISTURISER</b><br />
<br />
This was one of 2 E&T samples I've tried, the other one being the foundation <a href="http://becksbunnyfreebeauty.blogspot.com/2018/12/november-and-december-empties.html#more" target="_blank">here</a> and I really liked this one. It's a great colour match, goes on well and has good coverage for a tinted moisturiser. I'd use it again.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>SKIN ALCHEMISTS THE GORGEOUS SOLDIER BODY SCRUB</b><br />
<br />
This chocolatey goodness featured in the March 2018 Natural Beauty Box and I don't know why it took me so long to finish it lol, but finish it I did, and I loved it. Read my review <a href="http://becksbunnyfreebeauty.blogspot.com/2018/04/review-march-natural-beauty-box.html#more" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/madara-smart-antioxidants-anti-fatigue-eye-rescue-cream-15ml" target="_blank">MADARA ANTI-FATIGUE EYE RESCUE CREAM</a></b><br />
<br />
I've tried a lot of Madara creams and this has been my favourite so far. The little tube was like a Tardis. It lasted months and months and just when I thought it had run out, I'd get another big blob out of it. It reduces puffiness, tightens skin and smells like chocolate. Nothing not to like.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><a href="https://www.corinnetaylor.co.uk/collections/body/products/nourish-organic-body-butter" target="_blank">CORINNE TAYLOR NOURISH BODY BUTTER</a></b><br />
<br />
This beautiful body butter is the best I've tried in a while. Containing shea butter, coconut and avocado oil, it smells fairly flowery due to the geranium content and has the perfect texture - even in cold weather it doesn't go hard and just melts into the skin. And it's so moisturising! Absolutely amazing. 😍<br />
