The first of my subscription boxes arrived today. Here are my first impressions of my January 2014 Love Lula box. It has a nice selection of facial, body and hair care products.
The first product is a Konjac sponge by the Konjac Sponge Company. I received one of these sponges in my September 2013 SoukSouk box and have been using it since. These little sponges are fantastic and I am really happy to receive a replacement. I think my current one is nearly ready to be replaced so this has come at a good time
A 10ml sachet of John Masters Organics Blood Orange and Vanilla Body Milk. I have used this product before and really like it's sweet fragrance. My one grumble is the size of the sample.
BiOrganics Perfect Balance Shampoo (50ml). I haven't used this natural shampoo before so I am more than happy to give it a go. It certainly smells very nice.
BiOrganics Salon Secret Elixir Hair Perfecting Oil (exact size unknown). I have had a sample of this oil before and whilst it left my hair really soft and manageable, I felt that it was a bit too heavy for my fine hair. This is better suited to those who have thicker hair. This one will be given to a friend.
The final product is a 30ml sample of Balance Me Rose Otto Body Cream. I haven't tried this before, but I am really looking forward to trying it. I have not been disappointed with anything I have tried from Balance Me in the past. I love the smell of rose, so this is perfect for me.
Overall I am really happy with this month's box. When you subscribe to a couple of boxes it isn't uncommon to end up with multiples of a product, or to have tried things previously. Having said that, these have mainly been products that I have liked. Other than the hair oil, I will use and enjoy everything in the box.
It seems like a good box and the contents always seem to exceed what you pay monthly - definitely might sign up to next months x
ReplyDeleteI really like Love Lula boxes. I have only ever been disappointed with one x
ReplyDeleteI have really wanted to get a subscription box, but always worried that I would be wasting my money, as I hear so many negative reviews on some of them, but this looks like a good box, will definitely check it out!

I think you have to be a bit open minded with them, and I would look at lots of different blogs to see what people really get in them. I sometimes think that the most popular bloggers get the best boxes to show case the brand. I think people are then disappointed when they don't get exactly the same. In Love Lula boxes everyone gets the same, so it is very fair x
DeleteI'm really happy with my box. Like that I'll use everything in it x
ReplyDeleteIt is a good box. I tried the shampoo last night and I am impressed. My friend took the oil off me rather quickly, so it has gone to a good home x
