Dating back approximately 5000 years, Ayurveda is an Indian system of health and wellbeing with the aim of reaching a state of content. Now, however, it is more difficult to maintain a balance in our new, urban environment. This is what Ayumi stands for - maintaining balance in our new surroundings.

Bursting with aromatic essential oils, organic extracts and Ayurvedic ingredients, Ayumi is designed to balance the skin and the mind.

Body Lotion - A perfectly balanced blend of moisturisers in a fast-absorbing lotion to maintain the ideal level of hydration and softness for oil-prone skin. Witch hazel with a hint of nettle and mulberry gently firms and tones the skin to leave it feeling vibrant. A glorious blend of neem, lemongrass, vetivert, spearmint, patchouli, eucalyptus, cedarwood, cypress and aromatic galbanum surround the skin with an exciting healthy protective veil that refreshingly invigorates both skin and senses. A sparkle of lemon, mandarin, peppermint, spearmint, bergamot mint and menthol leave a zesty zing.

These three Ayumi Neem products from Love Lula go perfectly hand in hand with one another. All three products smell amazing and I really love the design of these bottles. The Body Scrub is great on both dry and wet skin giving a relaxing scrub, even for feet. The Body Wash foams up really well giving a lovely clean and fresh wash. The Body Lotion glides over skin well and soaks in pretty quickly after use, leaving behind a lovely scent. Overall, I'm really glad that I got to try these products out as I now absolutely love them!

You are left with something rich, something clean. Something incredibly stimulating... for hair and mind. Think about it.

I find this eye cream easy to apply and I like how well the product soaks in after applying it. The cream itself smells warming and fruity which I quite like. The bottle is really easy to use and it's a great size for travelling with.

Yes Cleanse Intimate Rose Wash - Review*

The idea that started The Yes Yes Company Ltd in 2003 arose between two friends, Susi Lennox and Sarah Brooks. Susi and Sarah's experience of working in the Drug Safety divisions of major pharmaceutical companies meant they were very aware of the health risks associated with certain synthetic, chemical ingredients. They set themselves the challenge of designing a range of intimacy products that would be completely benign, have no side effects, free of all known skin irritants and be highly effective.

YES CLEANSE - a sensitively formulated organic intimate wash, designed to respect the delicate vaginal ecology, with a refreshing and effective cleansing action. Hypoallergenic Guaranteed Pure and Natural Organic plant actives, Calendula and Aloe Vera. YES CLEANSE has been carefully pH matched to complement and protect the intimate environment. Washes away odour-causing bacteria without irritation. A Propellant free foaming Luxurious feminine washes you can use with confidence and safety day after day. YES Cleanse Rose contains exquisite Organic Rosa Damascena.

I've been using the Yes Cleanse Intimate Rose Wash from Love Lula for a couple of weeks now. I love that the product is a foam wash, as I feel it gives a more of a gentle wash. The wash itself has a lovely delicate scent of roses which I really like. I find that the pump on the bottle is really easy to use in the shower, as there's no need to tip the bottle upside down! This is overall a good product that does exactly what it's meant to do.

Fair Squared Coconut Shower Gel & Body Lotion - Review*

Fair Squared offer cosmetic and personal hygiene products made from certified fairly traded and natural ingredients. They are an alternative trade organisation who have fair dealings with producers from some of the world`s poorest countries and were one of the first companies to be labelled with the well-known Fairtrade logo.

An everyday shower gel formulated with Olive oil to gently cleanse and moisturise the skin. And a moisturising body lotion with coconut oil, olive oil and grape seed oil which is rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids to soothe, protect and rejuvenate the skin. Coconut oil is rich in natural vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and antioxidants which soothe and rejuvenate the skin (anti-ageing). Vegan, Fairtrade and Natrue certified Fairtrade Coconut Oil from Sri Lanka and Fairtrade Palestinian Olive Oil No parabens, phthalates, SLS or PEGs.

Here I have the Fair Squared Coconut Shower Gel and Body Lotion from Love Lula. I've always been a massive fan of coconut-scented products, but I do tend to find it a bit of a hit or miss kind of scent, especially when it comes to body products. Unfortunately, the coconut scent doesn't smell as good as I had hoped for with these two Fair Squared products. On the upside, the body lotion is really easy to rub in and does soak in well, leaving my skin feeling soft and moisturised. Unfortunately, I did find that I needed to use a lot of the shower gel to get a full-body wash, which isn't ideal for me. Overall, these products would be great for someone who prefers lightly scented products.

Founded in 2004 by Ere Perez, a Mexican-born natural therapist who has lived in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs for many years, Ere Perez Natural Cosmetics is an independent brand of toxin-free makeup, made from high-quality GMO-free and certified Cruelty Free ingredients.

No more broken, blunt or scratchy eye pencils!

The blade is also recyclable made from the highest quality carbon steel.

This Ere Perez Eco Pencil Sharpener from Love Lula had really good potential, but unfortunately, not all of my pencils fitted in it. Due to this, I wasn't able to sharpen said pencils at all. The sharpener is best suited for smaller pencils rather than large chunky ones. On the plus side, this sharpener is biodegradable and the blade is recyclable, which is great!

Our products are vegan, natural and we only use organic and natural plant and fruit-based ingredients.

Gentle and skin brightening, our super cleansing Oat Milk Cleanser & Makeup Remover helps to remove even the most stubborn waterproof eye makeup, as well as dirt and daily grime from the skin without leaving it feeling red, irritated and dried out like some products can.

With kale, spinach and vitamin C skin will look super soft and hydrated instantly.

After finishing my previous make-up remover I was interested in reviewing the Nature's Kitchen Oat Milk Cleanser & Make-up Remover from Love Lula. I love that lid is on the bottom of this tube, as it means you can get all of the prodcut out when it's running low. The remover itself smells lovely and isn't too thick to use around my eyes. It removes my eye make-up well and doesn't sting my eyes.

The gel contains 100% natural ingredients, with no peroxide or parabens, and is based on an exclusive formula of natural plant enzymes combined with natural soda.

This dental pen is a great way to prolong the length and effectiveness of the Style White teeth whitening treatment. Quick to use and handy to carry wherever you are, it freshens breath and gives a bright lustre to your teeth whilst also protecting tooth enamel. Made with 100% natural extracts.

With having my braces off recently, I was interested in making my teeth look a little brighter in a natural way. I came across the Style White 2-in-1 Refreshing & Whitening Dental Pen from Love Lula and thought it would be a great product to start with. The pen is super easy to use, so easy that you could even use it whilst you're out and about! All you have to do is twist the bottom of the pen so that the liquid comes out and then apply to clean teeth. The gel doesn't really taste of anything other than a slightly minty flavour which is pleasant. I can honestly say that I have noticed a change in the colour of my teeth even if it is a very slight change. And unfortunately, this slight change didn't last very long for me. I'm definitely interested in trying out Style White's other teeth whitening products though!

With this cream a little goes a long way so you don't need to apply too much at a time. The cream itself sinks into my skin nicely leaving it feeling softer than before. I'm not a huge fan of the scent of this cream, but as I only use it on my body I can't really smell it afterwards.

With the colder weather approaching, I was on the hunt for another hand cream. I decided to try out the NATorigin Hand & Nail Cream from Love Lula. The cream itself is thin, making it easy to rub in. It also sinks in quickly leaving my hands feeling softer than before. Unfortunately, I'm not too keen on the lingering scent of this hand cream which I think comes from the Almond oil.

A blend of peppermint, orange, and lemon oils uplift, invigorate and energise the skin and senses with a burst of zesty freshness.

I came across the Ayumi Neem & Tea Tree Face Scrub on Love Lula and thought it was time to try out a new face scrub! The scrub itself is creamy but not too thick and is easy to use all over the face. I also really like the Tea Tree scent that the scrub has, as it leaves my face feeling really fresh and clean. Unfortunately, this product isn't for me though as I find it doesn't give my skin a deep scrub, which is what I like when it comes to face scrubs.

The mask is a thick and creamy consistency and is easy to apply because of this. A few minutes after applying the mask my face pleasantly tingled, this passed as soon as the mask started to dry. Once it had fully dried it was time to wash it off. I like washing my face masks off in a shower as I find it less messy than washing them off over a sink. After I had washed my face, my skin was left feeling soft and looked fresher than before. The mask also smells amazing!

The charcoal will help brighten and lift stains from between your teeth whilst the peppermint essential oil will help freshen breath. With 30 metres of floss, this sustainable gum lover will last you an average of 3 months if you use it once a day. Dentists recommend using floss as part of your regular dental routine, flossing every evening to prevent bad breath, sore bleeding gums and gingivitis. How to dispose of your floss and packaging The floss will need to go in your general recycling. It is not biodegradable but it is a much better alternative to conventional floss. The glass tube and aluminium can be recycled but, feel free to purchase our floss refills and reuse the glass and aluminium packaging The cardboard kraft packaging can be recycled or put in your compost for breakdown.

Since getting my braces off a few weeks ago, I've wanted to get back into flossing as I couldn't really achieve it with my train track braces on. I came across the Organically Epic Charcoal Infused Peppermint Vegan Dental Floss on Love Lula and thought it looked great due to its low waste. The floss is presented in a glass jar which I think is great, as you can refill it again and again. I found the floss easy to use, just like any other floss really. Although, this floss is slightly different to your usual floss, as it tastes of peppermint which I find very refreshing.

It also goes great with a clear lip balm underneath it for extra moisture. I find this shade lasts a good amount of time before needing to apply it again. It's also very easy to remove and doesn't stain anything, considering how dark the shade is!

I personally find that two pumps of the wash are the perfect amount per wash for me, meaning this 250ml bottle will last me a good few months. Overall, the gel foams up nicely giving me a gentle and refreshing clean all over.

Hyaluronic acid enriches the skin with moisture and vitamins C and E correct and repair damaged skin. Providing deep hydration for blemish-prone skin is essential, as without moisture the skin overcompensates producing more oil and thus more spots!

I'm always a little worried when it comes to trying out a new face moisturiser, as they always tend to leave my face feeling more oily than it already was! I was pleasantly surprised when this wasn't the case with this BeBarefaced Anti-Blemish Moisturiser from Love Lula. The cream itself is easy to rub in and soaks in well without leaving any residue. It also moisturisers my skin really well, without making my skin feel really heavy, making it perfect for day and night time use. Overall, I'm really happy with this product and I look forward to using it more in the future.

In need of a new bar of face soap, I ended up coming across this Prebiotic Cleansing Bar from Gallinée on Love Lula. I really love that the soap comes just packaged in a cardboard box and nothing else. When using the bar, I find that it foams up well, leaving my skin feeling really soft and clean after use. I also love using this cleansing bar as it doesn't leave my skin feeling dried out as other soaps have done in the past. Another added bonus is that the soap smells absolutely lovely!
