Aug 222017

Receiving Beauty Boxes is always a treat. Every month I try to contain my curiosity what’s in this month’s Love Lula Beauty Box, but to no avail – I always have to take a peak someplace to see what’s in the box. When I saw there are two products from the Love Lula’s own brand Glossworks – a nail polish and a top coat – I was excited, but then I thought – shoot, that’s not for the Beauty Box recipients outside of UK, so I’ll have to wait a bit until I get my hands on these beauties later on.

What is Grape Seed Oil? Grape Seed Oil is a by-product of wine making, obtained by pressing grape seeds. It can be obtained by cold pressing method or by using a solvent called hexane. Given how problematic hexane is, cold pressing method is therefore the safest one.
