The New & Improved Love Me Beauty Box (plus 10% discount)

Love Me Beauty Box, April Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount, September Love Me Beauty Box Review
Love Me Beauty box* | £10 + p&p | 10% off with the code 'CG10' | Link

As I'm sure you all know by now, I'm a big fan and supporter of Love Me Beauty and their monthly beauty box subscriptions. In my opinion, they're one of, if not thee best beauty box out there and one I'd highly recommend signing up for! The reason I love the brand so much if because they really care about what their customers want and ensure everyone is always happy with the items they receive each month! Now although I was already a big fan of their concept which gave their subscribers the choice of three menus each month, I'm an even bigger fan of their new concept which allows subscribers to make their own beauty profile and pick exactly what goes into their box!

When you sign up to the website you'll be asked about your skin type/hair colour etc which then allows Love Me Beauty to give you product suggestions that suit you. They then give you six credits to pick the contents of your box. Most of the products are worth one or two credits depending on whether they're a sample or full size so that means you'll get at least three but potentially up to six products from their 'boutique' each month! There's also the option to add extras items to your box for a small cost - the prices are shown before you add them!

As well as the concept, the box itself has also had a revamp and I'm just a little bit in love with it. It has a more sophisticated and luxurious feel and the grey/silver and rose gold combo is so pretty! The products themselves are also packaged differently and now come in a cute drawstring bag which can be reused! It will feel like a real treat receiving this in the post each month! The only thing that hasn't changed about the box is the value for money - it still costs only £10 including p&p or £9 if you add my discount code 'CG10' in at the checkout.

Here's what I chose from the boutique with my six September credits ...

Love Me Beauty Box, April Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount, September Love Me Beauty Box Review

Oriflame Skin Dream BB Cream | Full Size
I really enjoy wearing BB creams so I knew I had to give this one from Oriflame a try! It promises to cover imperfections, provide all day hydration and add a glow which sounds like everything I could want from a BB cream and more! Its also oil-free and has SPF 30. 

Love Me Beauty Box, April Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount, September Love Me Beauty Box Review

Percy & Reed Dry Conditioner | Full Size
I love the brand Percy & Reed so I just had to use two of my credits on their 'dry conditioner' which is perfect to use when your hair is looking a bit lackluster and needs a dose of moisture and shine! This product alone is worth more than the whole box and there was few other Percy & Reed products up for grabs in the boutique.


Love Me Beauty Box, April Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount, September Love Me Beauty Box Review

Malin + Goetz Vitamin E Face Moisturizer | 29ml sample
I have to be honest, I've got enough moisturisers to last me a life time so I'm not sure why I picked this product - I think its because its quite a nice size for travelling and because it says its suitable for the most sensitive skin types, I thought it would be well suited to me. My skin has been crazy lately and I've been getting spots for the first time in my life so I want to strip my skincare routine back to basics with really simple products to see if that helps. Malin + Goetz is also sold at Space NK, I guessed it would be pretty good quality stuff. Lets face it, they only stock the best of the best! 

Love Me Beauty Box, April Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount, September Love Me Beauty Box Review
Anatomicals Joint + Muscle Rub | Full Size
So most of you will probably think this is a really strange choice and a bit boring, especially when there was other makeup products up for grabs! However, I suffer with a bad back and when it gets bad I often get sore muscles in my leg so I thought this would be worth a try to see if it can help! I've not tried it yet but I'm hoping it works! If this doesn't take your fancy, there were lots of other fun anatomicals products up for grabs.

I'm really chuffed with the products I received this month and I'll get use from all of them which is why I love Love Me Beauty so much - I know I'm never going to get sachets or teeny tiny samples I'll never use! I realise the products I picked won't be to everyones taste so be sure to check out their boutique here to see the selection of products up for grabs. There's everything from makeup to skin, hair and body care!

August Love Me Beauty Box (plus 10% off!)

Love Me Beauty Box* | £10 + p&p | 10% off with the code CG10 | Link

Ooh I do love me my monthly Love Me Beauty box. I'm sure you've heard me raving on and on about these boxes on my blog/twitter and instagram now but I truly believe they're such great value for the money. For only £10 (or £9 if you use my discount code CG10), you're garunteed to get a box of products worth two, three, four, five, six or even seven times that amount (last months contents were worth a whopping £70). I also love that most of the products featured in these boxes are full size - I've signed up to beauty boxes in the past and have been left completely disappointed by the flimsy little sachets I've received as one of my products. With Love Me Beauty, there's none of that disappointment - there's always a good four or five decent sized products.

I also love that always know I'm going to be happy with the things I receive thanks to their handy menu system. Each month they release three menu options into their boutique and you can then pick menu 1, 2 or 3 to receive in the post. Even better, if you don't like anything on offer, you can simply skip a month with no extra charge. They've seriously got all bases covered so if you've been wary of signing up to subscription boxes in the past becasue of hidden catches or receiving boxes of rubbish products, Love Me Beauty ensure that won't happen.

This month I opted for menu 2 although I did like the sound of every box on offer. Menu 2 contains all beauty products which I was very excited about and the contents are worth well over £60. Once again, a bargain too good to miss. Here's what I got inside ...

Marsk – Mineral Eye Shadow in Foiled Again - £14.49
Of all the products I received this month, this is the one I was the least excited about. Its not the product itself I wasn't excited about as I love eyeshadow but I wasn't blown away by the shade 'Foiled Again', a pure silver. I much preferred the look of the copper shade available in one of the other two boxes but I sacraficed that as I wanted to eyeliner which I'll talk more about below. However, since giving it a try, I'm pleasently surprised. The formula is exceptionally pigmented and the shade is surprisingly nice. I think it'll look lovely on the lids with a deeper colour in the crease. Its a bit too metallic for every day wear but for a night out I think it'll work well!


Oriflame – The One Eye Liner Stylo in Black - £8.45
This is the product I was most excited about this month and I was right to be excited, it's AMAZING! Seriously, one of the best liquid eyeliners I've tried in a very long time. Super pigmented, easy to use and long lasting, I've got absoloutely no complaints here. Its already become my go-to daily top liner.

A La Carte – Smudge-Proof Eyebrow Definer in Blonde - £23
I was very excited to see an A La Carte product in this months box as I've really grown to love the brand over the past few months and have now tried a fair few of their products. Included in this months box is their Smudge-Proof Eyebrow Definer which I'm really looking forward to trying. It does look quite orange toned so I may not like it on my brows but I've been really into wearing brown eyeliner at the moment so if I don't use it on my brows, I'll definitely be using it as a liquid liner instead. Priced at £23, this one product alone is two times the price of the whole box! 

Mirabella – Lip Luster Liner in Charming - £10.50
I've been really into using lip liners as lipsticks at the moment so I'm very pleased to see one in this months box. I've never heard of the brand Mirabella before but this is an amazing products - creamy, pigmented and long lasting. The shade 'Charming' is stunning too - I'd describe it as a red with hints of Pink and Orange. Just beautiful!


I'm very happy with the contents of this month Love Me Beauty box and I'd be happy to pay £9 for the eyeliner alone, despite getting three other products included. It really is amazing and I already know it'll be featured in my August monthly favourites! If you like the look of this box, or any of the others available, you can get it here for only £9 with my discount code CG10. The code only applies to first time subscribers so if you've already signed up, it unfortunately won't work. Also, the longer you sign up for, the more discount you'll receive - there's options available to sign up for 1, 3, 9 or 12 months and you can cancel at any time.

What do you think of this months box? Do you think its good value for money?

June Love Me Beauty Box & 10% Off

Love Me Beauty* | £10.00 plus p&p | 10% off with the code CG10

Love Me Beauty have fast become my favourite beauty box subscription since I started receiving them almost twelve months ago. Every box I've received since then has thoroughly impressed me and while some months are better than others, I've never once been disappointed with the items I've received. The boxes always contain at least two or three full size products and the total value of the items I receive each month are well over the value of the box. I also love the concept of choosing from three menus each month so I can pick the box with products most suited to me. 

I loved the look of all three menus this month but in the end I went for menu 1 as I know I'll make use of every single item in this box. Here's what's inside ...


Beauty UK 'Earth Child' Eyeshadow Palette | RRP £3.99
I was really excited to see this little eyeshadow palette in thi s months box as its the perfect size for travelling with and the colours are all right up my street - neutrals and deep smokey shades. I have to be honest and say I'm not blown away by the packaging as it looks quite cheap but its definitely a versatile little palette and some of the shades aren't too dissimilar from those in the Urban Decay Naked palette.



Model Co 'Fairly Floss' Lipgloss | RRP £12 
As I'm sure you all know by now, I'm a lip product junkie so it won't come as a surprise to any of you that this Model Co lipgloss is my favourite product in this months box. The shade is a pretty baby pink with a beautiful sheen and the formula isn't sticky at all which I love. Another couple of things I love about this product is the fact it smells like strawberries (seriously - it smells good enough to eat) and that it has a mirror on the side - so handy for on the go touch ups! Considering this whole box only costs £9 with my discount code (CG10), this lipgloss alone is worth £3 more than the entire box!!


NYX Cosmetics Nail Polish | RRP £3 
I'm a big fan of NYX cosmetics so its nice to see the brand featured in this months box. I haven't tried any of their nail polishes before so I'm looking forward to trying this. When it comes to nail polish, I believe less it more and I'm a big fan of classic shades over anything bright so this neutral peach shade with a hint of shimmer looks perfect!

Urban Veda Purifying Day Cream (20ml sample size) 
I've never heard of the brand Urban Veda before but that's what I love about beauty boxes like Love Me Beauty - it gives me the chance to try new brands/products that I can then go on to purchase if they impress me. This particular moisturiser is designed to detoxify congested and oil-prone skin which is great for me as I suffer with a particularly oily t-zone.

Montagne Jeunesse Brazilian Mud Fabric Masque | RRP £1.49
I always see this Montagne Jeunesse face masks when I go into Boots but I've never picked one up due to the fact they're so cheap - I'm very cautious when it comes to skincare as I have such sensitive skin but after reading up on this, it sounds worth a try. Its one of those scary looking fabric masks that makes people look like something out of a horror film but despite its strange appearance, this mask promises to nourish the skin and it has some great superfood ingredients such as Acai Berries and Avocado as well as Purple Brazilian Mud. I'll be giving this a whirl on my next pamper night.


Overall I'm very happy with this months box and the contents are worth double the price of the box so its great value for money. However, if you aren't keen on these particular products, you can check out their Boutique and see the other products available this month. A nude Model Co lipstick and Beauty UK eyebrow palette are some of the other products I liked the look of in the other boxes! If you're considering signing up to Love Me Beauty, don't forget to use my 10% discount code CG10 at the checkout!

May Love Me Beauty Box (plus 10% discount)

May Love Me Beauty Box Review & 10 Discount Code.jpg
Love Me Beauty box | £10.00 plus p&p | 10% off with my code 'CG10' | Link

As you all know I love receiving my Love Me Beauty boxes in the post each month and reviewing the contents for you guys. I think its a really great box and considering I don't ususally like subscription boxes, that's saying something. If you're new to my blog or don't know much about the brand, Love Me Beauty are a monthly subscription box priced at only £10 (or £9 with my discount code CG10) and each month they contain five products from various beauty and lifestyle brands. The thing that makes the company so unique is the fact that unlike conventional subscription boxes, there isn't any hidden catches or a minimum subscription. You can sign up for one month, 3 months, 9 months or 12 months and can cancel at any time. You can even 'skip' a month with no charge if nothing in that months box takes your fancy. How fab is that?

Anyway, moving on to May's offering. This month I chose menu 2 and the contents are a bit different to what I'm used to receiving each month but they're still lovely nonetheless. This month LMB have added a nice mix of beauty and lifestyle goodies so there's something for everybody. There isn't one product I wouldn't use in the box so I'm chuffed to bits. Here's a little bit more about each item ...

May Love Me Beauty Box Review & 10 Discount Code 5.jpg

Nail Girls Nail Polish | 'Nude Pink' | 10ml | RRP £13.50 for 15ml bottles
I've never tried the brand 'Nail Girls' before but considering a 15ml bottle of the stuff costs £13.50, I've got high hopes that it'll be good stuff. That's more pricey than a bottle of OPI! I'm not blown away by the baby pink shade as I sometimes feel too barbie like with my blonde hair and pink nails but it is lovely for Summer and one that would look great on toenails! 

May Love Me Beauty Box Review & 10 Discount Code 3.jpg

This month my favourite item would definitely be this super cute set of three notebooks. I'm a bit of a stationary nerd and an obsessive list writer so these cute pocket notebooks will be living in my handbag for on the go blog ideas, to-do lists and my weekly food shop. I  love the print on them too - they remind me of something I'd find in Paperchase for only a fraction of the price.

May Love Me Beauty Box Review & 10 Discount Code 7.jpg

Suti Trial Pack (includes Purity Balm, Cleanse Balm & Foot Balm) | RRP £6.50
I've never heard of the brand Suti before but I love the sound of this little trial kit. It contains three products - a cleansing balm, purity balm and foot balm. Balms are my favourite method of cleansing so I'm looking forward to trying these products.

May Love Me Beauty Box Review & 10 Discount Code 2.jpg

Tea Pigs Tea - 3 packs | RRP £1.30 for a set of two
I'm so excited to try these! Some of you might think tea is a boring product to receive but I've heard amazing things about the brand Tea Pigs and I have to say I love nothing more than snuggling up on the sofa with a cuppa! Also, who could turn their nose up at Caramel flavoured tea? Yum! They're also decaf which is perfect for me as I try to avoid drinking too much caffeine.

May Love Me Beauty Box Review & 10 Discount Code 4.jpg

Raw Skincare Lip Balm | 'Ginger' | - full size | RRP £1.98
Another product I was excited to try this month is this Ginger flavoured lip balm from natural skincare company Raw. I've seen this brand mentioned a few times on blogs and they seem to have a good reputation for their lip balms. I've already tried it and its absolutely lovely - it smells nice and is very moisturising. A handbag essential!

Once again a lovely little box from Love Me Beauty. For only £10, it really can't be faulted and I'll use every single product. Do you like the look of this months box? If so, make sure you snap one up with my 10% discount code 'CG10'. It expires at the end of this month so if you want to subscribe, now is the time to do it!

Lots of love,

April Love Me Beauty Box (& 10% discount code!)

April Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount Code .jpg
Love Me Beauty box* | £10.00 plus p&p | 10% off with the code 'CG10' | Link

So I'm sure you're used to reading my monthly Love Me Beauty posts by now but just incase your new to my blog or haven't heard about this beauty box before, Love Me Beauty is a monthly subscription box with a difference. Unlike your standard beauty boxes that are a surprise every month (ususally full of products you didn't really want), Love Me Beauty allows their subscribers to choose from an option of three menus each month to ensure you're getting products you know you'll like and use. However, if you prefer the element of surprise, there's also a 'surprise' option you can choose instead. As if that wasn't great enough, they also offer subscribers the chance to skip a month (with no cost) if there isn't anything in that months box that takes your fancy. So basically what I'm trying to say is don't let the fact its a subscription box put you off as they're very flexible and you can cancel at any time!

This month I went for menu three and I was really excited about this one as there isn't one product that I wouldn't use. Keep reading to find out what I received ...

April Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount Code 3.jpg

Models Own Nail Polish in Fuzzy Peach | Full Size | RRP £5.00
I was really happy to see a Models Own nail polish in this months box as they're one of my favourite nail polish brands and this shade, 'Fuzzy Peach', a muted coral, is perfect for S/S. As with all Models Own polishes, only two coats are required for full opacity. I can see this being my go-to Summer nail colour!

April Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount Code 4.jpg

Redken Colour Extend Conditioner| 25ml Sample
Having tried a few Redken products in the past and loving them, I was excited to see a sample of their colour extend conditioner in this months box. Its a fairly small sample (25ml) but it should last me two washes and its a great little size for travelling. I intend to take it with me on my trip home this weekend so I haven't tried it yet but I'm looking forward to. Its designed to help keep colour treated hair vibrant and fresh so its right up my bleached blonde headed street! A full size bottle of this costs a pretty reasonable £9.99 so if I do like it, I might be tempted to buy the full size!

April Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount Code 6.jpg

Betty Hula Secret Wonder Oil Roller Ball | Full Size | RRP £6.25
I've never heard of the brand Betty Hula before so I wasn't sure what to make of this product when I saw it in the box. However, after giving it a little go, I can confirm its absolutely lovely. Its a multi-purpose oil in a handy roller ball applicator that can be used on any areas of skin that need a boost of moisture. It smells very citrusy too which I absolutely love!

April Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount Code 7.jpg

Neal & Wolf Ritual Daily Cleansing Shampoo | Full Size | RRP £11.50
I've tried this shampoo in the past and I really like it so I was happy to see this in this months box. It smells absolutely incredible and is very gentle on the hair. It removes any build up of product and leaves my hair feeling silky and soft. Neal & Wolfe say "an infusion of silk and milk proteins combine to boost vital moisture and reduce flyaway hair" and that "Liquid shea extract delivers brilliant shine" and I couldn't agree more!

April Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount Code 8.jpg

Hello Fresh £25 Gift Card
Love Me Beauty boxes usually contain five products so when I saw each menu only contained four this month, I was a little bit confused. However, when I received my box and saw this voucher, I realised that this is the fifth item and its a bloomin good one too! As you probably know by now, I love cooking and would consider myself a bit of a 'foodie' so this gift card couldn't be more perfect for me. Hello Fresh is a unique service that delivers fresh ingredients to your door, along with recipe cards so you can follow them step by step and make a whole host of delicious meals. A box for 3 nights worth of meals for 2 people (the one I'm going to order) costs £42 with free delivery so I only have to pay £17 with this voucher which is total bargain when you think about it. Three nights worth of delicious new meals to try - I can't wait!

April Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount Code 9.jpg

Weleda Stretch Mark Massage Oil
Love Me Beauty popped a couple of sachets of this massage oil in as an extra this month and although I don't have stretch marks, this will be nice to use to give my body a boost of moisture. I wasn't overly excited by this item but its a nice little extra regardless.

As you can see - Love Me Beauty have really delivered once again and I couldn't be happier with the contents of this months box. I'm particularly excited by the Hello Fresh voucher - me and my boyfriend have already been stalking their website and the food on offer sounds delicious so we're looking forward to dining like kings next week! For only £9.00 with my 10% discount code 'CG10' (pop it in at the checkout to receive the discount), this really is too much of a bargain to be missed! All Love Me Beauty boxes have a value of £35.00 or more so you can be rest assured that you're getting fantastic value for your money!

Which is your favourite product in this months box? Have you subscribed yet?

Lots of Love,

March Love Me Beauty Box (plus 10% off!)

March Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount.jpg
March Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount 3.jpg
March Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount 4.jpg

Love Me Beauty Box* | £10.00 plus £2.95 p&p | 10% off with the code 'CG10' |  Link

Over the past year, I've really grown to love Love Me Beauty and their amazing monthly beauty boxes. Every month I look forward to my box of beauty goodies arriving in the post and I'm never ever disappointed with the contents thanks to their 'menu' system whereby I can choose which box I'd like to receive. There's also the genius option of skipping a month if nothing takes your fancy, with no charge included. They've really covered all bases when it comes to customer satisfaction and I wouldn't think twice about recommending this box to anyone I know - it really is the best of the bunch. 

Its such great value for money too and their website states that every single box will be worth a minimum of £35, despite its cheap £10 price tag. I've actually known some months boxes to be worth around £60 so you're definitely getting your £10 worth with this box! Even better, Love Me Beauty have very generously given me a 10% discount code, especially for my readers so if you're thinking about subscribing, be sure to enter 'CG10' in at the checkout to receive your discount!

This month I opted for menu 2 from the three options available which was actually a mistake on my part (I was meant to choose menu one as I really wanted to try the Nip & Fab CC Eye Fix - oops!) but I'm still very happy with the contents of my box regardless. Here's what I received ...

March Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount 5.jpg

Nip & Fab Topical Muscle Cooling Gel | RRP £9.95
As I said at the start of this post, I wasn't actually meant to choose this box so and it was actually the Nip & Fab eye fix that I wanted to try but I'm still rather intrigued by this alternative, even if it isn't an essential. Now I'm not going to lie and say I work out all the time because I definitely don't but when I do, I seriously suffer with sore muscles. I went for a run a couple of weeks ago and for the next two days, I could barely move. Not ideal! I tried this topical cooling gel after a recent workout and I have to say, its bloomin lovely. The cooling and anti-inflammatory ingredients it contains really helped to relieve the pain but be warned, it tingles!

March Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount 6.jpg

Quintessentially English Bottled Sunshine Bath Salts (50g sample size)
I'm really into bath products at the moment so I can't wait to use these 'Bottled Sunshine' (don't you just love this name) bath salts from Quintessentially English. I can already tell I'm going to love the scent - I'm obsessed with all things citrus - its so invigorating and energising! These bath salts are multi-purpose too - they can be used in the bath to fill the room with a beautiful aroma or mixed with a touch of oil and used as a scrub. Ahhh - relax!

March Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount 7.jpg

Blanx White Shock Toothpaste (15ml sample size)
I've tried this toothpaste in the past and altought I wasn't wowed by the results, it did brighten my teeth ever so slightly. Not the most exciting product in the world and not a lot to say about this one - its minty and it cleans my teeth. That's all everyone looks for in a toothpaste, right?

March Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount 8.jpg

Murad Pore & Line Minimizing Hydrator (10ml sample size) | Worth £9.90
Murad is a high-end brand that I've tried in the past and really enjoyed. However, due to their sky high price tags, they definitely aren't the first brand that pops to my mind when buying new skincare. With this being said, its a real treat to get something to try from such a luxurious brand. This 'Pore & Line Minimizing Hydrator' sounds amazing too - it refines pores, helps breakouts and smoothes the skin. What more could I want?

March Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount 9.jpg

Deep Steep Honeydew & Spearmint Moisture Stick | RRP £3.60
I've never heard of the brand Deep Steep before but I really love their packaging and this moisture stick is so handy. I've been using it regularly since receiving this box as it can be used for so many different purposes. Wherever you've got dry skin that needs a boost of moisutre, you can use this handy stick to apply it. Its less messy than a conventional moisturising cream or gel so its handy for travelling or popping in my handbag and it packs a decent hydrating punch! The Honeydew & Spearmint scent is divine too!

March Love Me Beauty Box Review and Discount 10.jpg

The Vintage Cosmetic Company 'Gracie' Lashes | RRP £6.00
I've actually tried lashes from The Vintage Cosmetic Company before and they're definitely one of my favourite false lash brands. I wore them none stop over Christmas as they're so easy to apply, lightweight and very natural looking. I've been meaning to repurchase some ever since so I was chuffed to bits to see these 'Gracie' lashes, which are actually my favourite style, featured in this months box. I find these perfect for adding volume to my lashes whilst still looking really natural. I've totally gone off that whole big lashes look lately and I'd much rather wear something like this which enhances what I have naturally without looking trashy and fake!

Once again, another amazing box from Love Me Beauty! I'm still kind of gutted I chose the wrong menu but that'll teach me not to read things properly! The contents of this months box come to well over its £10 price tag (the Nip & Fab/Murad products alone come to almost £20) so yet again, its amazing value for money! If you fancy trying these products for yourself and receiving a box of beauty treats in the post each month, be sure to sign up to Love Me Beauty using my discount code 'CG10' (expires 04/04/14). Its too much of a bargain to be missed!

Valentines Love Me Beauty Box (& 10% off)

February Love Me Beauty Box

Love Me Beauty Box | £10.00 plus £2.95 p&p | Link

Another month and another Love Me Beauty box. My favourite beauty box arrived in the post last week and I couldn't wait to dive into the amazing contents of this months box. As it was Valentine's day recently, Love Me Beauty created their standard three menus but this time they've included a mystery product in each box as a special Valentine's Day surprise. All of the mystery products included are referred to by LMB as 'hero' products -  products that were well loved in previous boxes. I thought that was a nice touch and their red themed packaging is obviously ver fitting too! The menu I chose this month is menu 1 and here's what I received inside ...

February Love Me Beauty Box 3
February Love Me Beauty Box 2

Percy & Reed No Fuss Flawlessness Dry Conditioner | Full Size | RRP £12.00
So I'm pretty sure we've all heard of dry shampoo before but dry conditioner? I didn't even know it existed! This humongous bottle of Percy & Reed dry conditiner is supposed to add healthy looking gloss and shine to the hair on those days betweeen washes when it starts to look a bit dry and lacklustre. I'm excited to try this one - I wonder if I'll love it as much as my dry shampoo! I also love the Percy & Reed pacakging - its so girly and quirky!

La Claree Smooth Day Face Care | 7ml sample | Worth £3.92
I could probably take or leave this product to be honest. I'm quite happy with my skincare routine at the moment and already have my favourite moisturisers so I can't see me getting much use out of this La Claree one. However, if you have  dry skin and are in need of a thick moisturiser to combat dry areas, this may well be for you. It contains a tonne of different essential oils and promises to "soothe the skin, restoring its softness and radiance". I'm not completely dismissing this product as the cute little jar will be handy for travelling but I think I need to use my 10,000 other moisturisers first!

The Bakewell Soap Company Multi Purpose Pocket Balm | Full Size | RRP £5.45 
This is another product I wasn't too excited about when I first opened my box but I have to say since trying it my opinion has changed. This multi-purpose balm can be used anywhere on the face or body that requires some extra hydration. I've used it on my lips as a lip balm and its absolutely lovely. Just like the Bakewell Soap Company's website claims, the belnd of vitamin A, C and E along with essential fatty acids and Omega 3 "provide welcome relief and soothing moisture for skin in need of a little TLC". I'm also going to give this a try on my cuticles as I imagine it would be great for softening them too!

Inner Me Beautify Me Vitamin Complex  (28 capsules) | Full Size | RRP £15.00
This is the product I'm most intrigued by this month as I've never taken vitamins before and these ones are specially designed to help keep hair, skin and nails healthy. I absolutely love the packaging too - the artwork on the front of the box looks so pretty and the capsules inside are labelled with days which is very handy. You get 28 capsules in this pack which is a two week supply and they're worth £15 which is more than this entire box. Wowzer! You can find out more about the ingredients in these capsules and how they work, here.

Art Deco Hydra Lip Booster | Full Size | RRP £11.50
My Valentine's surprise in this months box was a full size Art Deco lip booster and I couldn't be more chuffed with it. I've received one of these in a previous box and its absolutely beautiful so I'm more than happy to now own another shade. The idea behind the lip boosters is that they smooth out imperfections, hydrate the lips and make them appear full. I'd definitely agree that it does all of those things and the light wash of colour they provide is a nice bonus!

Again, another unbelieveable box from Love Me Beauty. Four full size products, most of which cost more to buy individually than the box itself. Its complete madness that five amazing beauty products cost only £10 - what a bargain! I'm particuarly excited to try the Beautify Me vitamins and the Percy & Reed dry conditioner this month as they're both unlike anything I've ever tried before. I think that's the great thing about beauty boxes - trying products I wouldn't normally buy for myself and discovering new favourites.
