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!

Valentines Love Me Beauty Box (& 10% off)

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 ...

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.
