Find out what our parent testers thought of Love Boo Mummy Skincare range.
Tested by mum Louise Tait for the M&B Awards 2017:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
Absolutely love that these products are all natural ingredients. I have sensitive skin so was wary of how my skin would react. I have had no problems with any of the products. They all smell fabulous, and leave the skin feeling soft and pampered with no greasy feeling. It is wonderful that the products are aimed at some of the areas a new mum might be self conscious about post giving birth.
How did this product make your life easier?
The products are all easy to use and the body cream keeps my skin supple all day so I didn't need to apply any more through the day. Using the bust firming cream actually gave me a little confidence boost which is lovely when mourning the pre-pregnancy body. Knowing that the whole range is natural ingredients, it would make it easier when shopping in future.
Would you choose this product to win?
In an increasingly 'chemical' world, these products all contain natural ingredients. The packaging is very user friendly for all of the products and a good size too. I had never heard of love boo but in the last week I have recommended them to all of my mummy friends
What changes would you make to this product?
I literally cannot think of anything I would change about any of the products I have tested but it would be great if a travel size range was produced (maybe it is already). I understand that good quality products cost more money and you get what you pay for but cost may put some people off. Maybe a trial size would be good to offer.
Tested by mum Kirsty Orlando for the M&B Awards 2017:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would recommend these products to another mum highly due to the fact that they are so natural and kind on your skin. My skin feels lovely and I found the products did exactly what they're meant to do. They also smell divine and it was a pleasure using them. I also felt very pampered which is a lovely feeling for a mummy.
How did this product make your life easier?
These products make life easier as a mum as the range covers all the products I could possibly want. I can order them all from one place and know that I can rely on the quality and functionality of each one. This saves time which is pretty precious for any mummy! I also find that I don't need hoards of other products to help my skin as these already care well for it.
Would you choose this product to win?
I would choose these products over others because they are very natural and a pleasure to use. I love the smells of each one and they do exactly what they're meant to do. They would make an ideal gift and make you feel absolutely lovely. The design reflects the quality of the product inside and its overall a brilliant brand.
What changes would you make to this product?
The only thing which left me a bit surprised was the price of each product. For the size of each product, it felt like a lot of money. I think that that would put a lot of mums off buying it for general use and makes it more of a brand which is used to buy gifts from. If the value for money could be improved, I think the is brand would be unbeatable.
Tested by mum Jennifer Orr for the M&B Awards 2017:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
Yes, it's nice for a change to have products dedicated to us mums :) I have sensitive skin too, so this stuff is perfect for me, especial the oils and the booby cream. Beautifully packaged and they made me feel special and loved. They make such a difference to my skin. I can not fault any of these.
How did this product make your life easier?
I found these products made an positive impact on my life, as I knew they were the same as the baby products and would not irritate my skin. I would like these products to be situated near the babies products in the shops just to save time for me. I can't put into words how much I love these products, both the mum and baby ones.
Would you choose this product to win?
I really like the natural ingredient aspect. I like the care and attention that has been taken to each and every product.
What changes would you make to this product?
There isn't really a lot you could change to improve these products. I would maybe like to see less packaging, to help protect the environment for our babies future. I also think by placing this product on the high street shelf would help sales and improve people's knowledge of this brand. Other than that I love it :)
Tested by mum Sarah Jenkins for the M&B Awards 2017:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would definitely recommend this product. The packaging is well designed - good quality, feminine and classy. I love the fact that the products use natural ingredients and the fact that they can be used whilst nursing is a real bonus as many other similar products cannot be used at this time. The products smell gorgeous and they don't leave your skin feeling greasy at all.
How did this product make your life easier?
The products make me feel like I've had a good pampering session but all in the comfort of my own home. As the products use natural ingredients and can be used whilst nursing I don't have to worry about cuddling or feeding baby straight after using the products, which makes it so easy to use the products at anytime.
Would you choose this product to win?
I would definitely choose this product above others. The look and feel of the products make them feel very luxurious but without a really expensive price tag. The packaging is well designed (good quality, feminine and classy), plus the products smell gorgeous and they don't leave your skin feeling greasy at all. The fact that the products can be used whilst nursing is a real bonus and makes them stand out from others.
What changes would you make to this product?
The body smoother irritated my legs so I would not use this on my legs. The boxes make the products look very appealing and of high quality, however as the bottles / tubes are also very well designed, the boxes are probably unnecessary and it would be more environmentally friendly if the products were not boxed.
Tested by mum Rachel Robinson Tingle for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I found these products lovely and I’d recommend them because there really easy to use. Designed nicely some of the products where provided in boxes. I found that they left my skin soft and smell lovely. I loved the body butter!
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
I found the oil didn't take very long to dry nor did the body butter so I could apply them and dress straight after instead of waiting for them to dry. I would buy these for a gift for a mummy to be/ or someone who's recently had a baby.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
There’s nothing really I would change with these products as I was very happy overall with them.
Tested by mum Elizabeth Emmanuel for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
The Love Boo Mummy skincare range is fantastic! All the products in the range actually do what they say! I am particularly enamoured with Bosom Buddies! From the first application I felt my breasts to be firmer and perkier!
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
A delight to pamper myself with these products! Very subtle scent and no nasty ingredients. Also love the body smoother butter.
Tested by mum Natalie Turnball for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
Love Boo Mummy skincare range is going to be part of my pampering routine for the foreseeable future! Love that the products are absorbed so easily and the light fragrance is perfect!
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
Feel so relaxed when using these products! Not sure which I prefer most, the Bosom Buddies or the Body Butter Smoother. Feel that they both deliver!
Tested by mum Cheyene Devine for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow parent?
This range is an absolute treat as a new mother, the products felt luxurious and smelt wonderful. The scents are very feminine and the creams and oils leave your skin feeling revitalized and not greasy. I would recommend this range as it feels like pure indulgence without having to visit a spa, the bath products leave you feeling relaxed and de-stressed and then the creams to apply are smooth and softening. The price of the range is a little costly but this range is a real treat that any mother would appreciate.
How does this product make your life easier as a parent?
This product by just relaxing me makes my life easier, the products all do exactly as they state so when I am busy running around after my family I know the products are doing some good for me. I feel as if I am getting the spa treatment without having to find the time to go to the spa.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
There is not one thing I would change about this product, the product range is plentiful and the items very luxurious. I had mentioned the price but some of the products are available in smaller sizes for a cheaper price.
Tested by mum Amy Hasler for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow parent?
I would definitely recommend the Love Boo Mummy Skincare range because they are well-priced, and make me feel good. They all smell fantastic, using more unusual ingredients such as passion flower oil, hibiscus flower and white water lily, and they feel good quality - the creams and oils melting into your skin leaving it soft and subtly smelling gorgeous rather than really strong fragrance - and not leaving greasy films. I had not seen this range, but now will be seeking out the Magic Balm to try too. The products have been formulated without the usual nasty ingredients such as parabens and sulphates which is brilliant and is made in the UK which is good to see. The packaging is ok but I do feel it could reflect the product better.
How does this product make your life easier as a parent?
The Love Boo Mummy Skincare range make life better as a mum because with a new baby, you hardly get a few minutes per day to yourself, so getting a shower alone with some wonderful smelling body wash and a bit of miracle oil on your stretched skin or some body smoother is great and makes me feel a little bit better about myself and life when I get covered in milky sick later in the day!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
If I could change one thing about the Love Boo Mummy Skincare range it would be the packaging. The product range is good quality, it's a great product, but to me I would not normally look at this closely in a shop because the design of the Mummy range does not reflect the quality and its strengths - it looks cheaper, more of a 'fun' brand rather than seriously good, luxurious skincare products. The baby range is appropriate in my opinion in comparison. I'd also like to lose the cardboard boxes - if the branding was revised to reflect the quality product the boxes are unnecessary and just extra waste and expense for the company.
Tested by mum Emily Mouland for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow parent?
I love these products, what new mum wouldn’t like a bit of pampering?! They look nice, smell nice, feel nice… it’s like having your own mini spa in the comfort of your own home! The ingredients are essential oils, and natural.
How does this product make your life easier as a parent?
It possibly didn’t… as I spent longer in the bathroom!!!! They did help to give my skin the attention and moisture it needed so much after having given birth. A lovely little treat. I don’t usually use any ‘mummy’ products asides oil, so it was lovely to try these out. They are lovely products, I love the packaging and the products themselves. It’s like having your own mini spa in the bathroom! I love the smell and feel of the natural essential oils.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
They are a bit pricey, and for this reason I probably would never have looked at buying them myself.
Tested by mum Hannah Clare for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow parent?
The Love Boo skincare range has a lovely scent and soaks in quickly without leaving you feeling greasy.
How does this product make your life easier as a parent?
Quick and easy to apply without leaving you very greasy
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
The price is quite expensive but it is a nice gift.
Tested by mum Shannon Fearn for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow parent?
The Love Boo Mummy Skincare range is very appealing to the eye. It looks very smart and is definitely something that would catch my eye on a shelf. The fact that the items are natural products is an extra bonus. They all smell and feel gorgeous, and would definitely recommend to a friend, pregnant or post-natal. The price is a little high, but in my opinion, the items are worth it and wouldn't put me off buying them.
How does this product make your life easier as a parent?
The items are particularly good at adding a little bit of luxury to your day, something which can be particularly hard to get when looking after a little one all day. The bath soak smells lovely and really is "super-relaxing"!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
The only thing that I would have to say that could be improved is the price. For example, the Bosum Buddy cream is very nice to use, it feels nice and soft on your skin, but at £18.99 for one tube, it is a little more than I would pay normally for a body cream. This is the same for the other products in the range too.
