Uplift with Seascape Island Apothecary

Uplift with Seascape Island Apothecary - Lost in the North
A couple of months ago, I got a fantastic product in my Love Lula monthly beauty box - Seascape's Unwind Body Wash. I was honestly blown away by the product and still love it as much now, although I'm running low so am being careful about using it in order to make it last as long as it can. 

Following on from my review of the body wash, Seascape gave me the chance to try a few more of their products so I could experience more of their range. Needless to say, I jumped at the chance and have been giving three items from their Uplift range a try for a few weeks now and I'm just as impressed as I was with the Unwind Body wash.

This British brand creates bath and body products that are 100% natural essential oil-based, creating really beautiful fragrances that leave your skin smelling great but that also help your mood. Ingredients from the island of Jersey are used to make the products, which contain no parabens, silicones, artificial colours, petroleum synthetic fragrances or SLS. This means that the products are as natural as they can be, suitable for sensitive skin and incredibly effective - not to mention the fact that they are cruelty-free and suitable for vegetarians. What more could you want?

Love Lula May beauty box review

I've had so many beauty products to try recently that I've struggled to get around to everything, including all the lovely things that were in last month's Love Lula box. However, I've finally given everything a good enough try to write up my review, which is a bit mixed this time around.

I do have to say that the last few monthly beauty boxes have been brilliant and have introduced me to some brilliant products that I would happily buy again. This month was the same and featured some brands that I have come to love, but there were a couple of products that just weren't quite right for my beauty needs. This isn't to say that they aren't lovely, but they didn't deliver the results for me personally. 

Luckily, the majority of the box hit the nail on the head, so definitely made up for the slight disappointment. Anyway, without further ado, here's what I thought of May's offerings:

Makeup masterclass with NYX Cosmetics

Makeup masterclass with NYX Cosmetics - Lost in the North
A few weeks ago, I went to one of the makeup masterclasses hosted by NYX Cosmetics in Boots in Trinity Leeds. I love NYX products and have used them since before they were available in the UK, which wasn't easy to do as the US version of the brand didn't post to Britain. The colours are bright and bold while they offer great dupes for expensive brands as more affordable prices. Many of my go-to products are from NYX so I was looking forward to getting some great makeup tips.

The guys at NYX Leeds do regular masterclasses with a different theme for each one, so you'll always learn something a bit different and get to test a range of fantastic products. This time around, the focus was on new products and dots, which isn't something I've experimented much with. It was run by the lovely Jess, who is a makeup artist working for NYX in Leeds Trinity and who is always crazy helpful and awesome every time I see her.

Love Lula April beauty box review

Love Lula April beauty box review - Lost in the North
I promise that this month, I will get my two outstanding Love Lula beauty box reviews up for your reading pleasure. Not only do I have to get back into my blog routine - life seems to constantly get in the way of this - I have also loved several products and can't recommend them enough. With this in mind, this is the first of my outstanding reviews, at least until this month's box arrives.

When I say that Love Lula's beauty box keeps getting better and better, I mean it. There wasn't one product I got in April that I wouldn't happily use again. In fact, a couple of them I desperately want to buy as they have been incredible for my skin. I'm going to be really sad when I run out of them, especially as I have a busy few months so may not be able to justify treating myself.

​Here's what I got in the box and why everything was fantastic:

Love Lula March beauty box review

Love Lula March beauty box review - Lost in the North
Being unable to blog due to the move and the following lack of internet, not to mention life in general being fairly hectic recently, means I'm a bit behind on my beauty box reviews. I had thought off just skipping March's box and jumping straight in with April's, but I have fallen in love with the products that came in my March box so it would be a real shame to do that. Especially as I seriously recommend a couple of them.

Once again, March's Love Lula box included a nice mix of products. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the contents of the monthly boxes have become a lot more varied since I signed up for them last year, which is fantastic. It gave me plenty to try and meant that I was able to give myself a bit of a pamper too.  ,

There are a couple of products I will definitely be trying again, but as they were full-sized, they are definitely going to last me a while. Here's what came in the box and what I thought of it all:
