L’uvalla – Cruelty-Free Favorite!

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for another My Beauty Bunny Cruelty-Free Favorite!

I have to be honest. When French company, L’uvalla, contacted me about reviewing their products, I wasn’t expecting much. I had never heard of them, and we literally get hundreds of products to review, many of which don’t cut the mustard. (Why would you want to cut mustard? Oh, nevermind…)

I was so happy to find out that these are amazing products that work! I tried the Foaming Facial Cleanser, Eucalyptus Toner (comes in a gorgeous bottle), Balancing Day/Night Cream, Age Defying Day/Night Cream, Hydrating Milk Cleanser and Eye/Lip Anti-Wrinkle Cream.

My favorites are the day/night creams, and I am awarding the coveted My Beauty Bunny Cruelty-Free Favorite status to these products!

The Balancing Day/Night Cream is a fairly thick cream that manages to go on smooth and leave NO greasy residue! It’s perfect for my combination skin. It has essential oils (lotus flower, thyme, rosemary, clove, etc.) to treat acne and natural oils (such as argan oil and hazel seed oil) to nourish skin and heal acne wounds (don’t act like you don’t pick your zits – you know you do!).

A note on argan oil (perhaps you’ve heard of Kiehl’s new argan oil products): Argan oil was named by the NY Times as the next miracle ingredient in skincare. It contains twice the vitamin E as olive oil, 80% fatty acids (omega 6 and 9) and contains a high amount of squalene which helps the skin produce collagen.

It also smells wonderful – I like to inhale deeply while I’m putting it on – it relaxes me and makes me feel like I’m in a spa. 🙂

I also tried the Age-Defying Day/Night Cream. I was expecting this to be way too rich for my combination skin, but it actually makes a great night cream for me.

It’s wonderfully rich and creamy but not greasy at all. It also has the wonderful essential oil scent and DOES NOT MAKE ME BREAK OUT at all! Wow. This would be great for any skin type as a night cream, and for dry skin as a day cream. Because there’s no greasy residue, you can easily use this under makeup.

A few things you should know about L’uvalla – they are dedicated to using 100% natural and organic ingredients, they use no preservatives, they are vegan and 100% cruelty-free! I also love that they list all the ingredients on the packaging and on their website – something department store brands often don’t do.

Do not walk – run to get these products. Seriously – they are worth it!
