I'd been toying around the with the idea of subscribing to a beauty box for some time. There are a whole host of beauty boxes out there like the Glossybox or the Birchbox for example, but it wasn't until I came across the Love Me Beauty Box that I decided "Yes i'm going to give it ago!"
What really intrigued me about this beauty box was that you are given the choice of it's contents. Each month you are given three different menus to pick from. Whilst this does take out the whole surprise element to beauty boxes, it suited me much more as I was able to pick the box I think I'd get the most use out of.
NYX Single Eyeshadow - Cherry
(RRP £5)
I've heard good things about the NYX brand but had never used any of their products before. I normally only wear beige, brown and gold coloured eyeshadows, so I was a bit skeptical when I received this. However this is a beautiful cherry red colour and although I won't be using this all over my eyelid anytime soon, I think it would be perfect to blend into other eyeshadows.
Cosmetics A La Carte Divine Lash Mascara - Black
(RRP £23)
This has to be my favourite product out of the whole box. Being a bit of a mascara junkie, I was eager to try this one out and I'm happy to say i'm impressed! The thin wand creates great length and separation between lashes, and also leaves you clump free. Not to mention the mascara comes in a lovely sleek shiny silver tube, so tops marks for packaging!
Lord & Berry Pailettes Eye Pencil - Sparkle Black
(RRP £8.95)
Again another brand i've heard talked about heaps before, but never have I got round to purchasing anything from them before. I've never owned a sparkly eyeliner either, so I was quite excited to try this one out. I tried the eyeliner on my waterline and was impressed with it's pigmentation, the sparkle in the product is just the right amount too. I'm definitely looking forward to using this to experiment on different areas of my eyes.
Weleda Sea Buckthorn Body Oil (Sample Size)
(RRP Full Size: £15.95)
I'm not a huge fan of body oils, I much prefer using body butters after my bath or shower. However, I think this product may have changed my mind! The oil has a beautiful fresh orange scent to it that stays on your skin for a long time after use. It leaves your skin not only smelling delicious but feeling and looking it too! This is definitely a product i'm considering purchasing once i've used up the sample.
Pureology Colour Stylist Silk Bodifier
(RRP £15)
I used two pumps of this mouse on damp clean hair, just before blow drying. The first thing I noticed was that it hadn't left my hands feeling horrible and sticky, which you can sometimes get using mousses. The next thing I noticed was the smell, it's almost cinnamon smelling - maybe that's just me, but it lingered in my hair for a long time after use, and yes I may have been sniffing my hair every now and again.. i'm not crazy I swear, it just smelt really good! I used this on my naturally straight/wavy hair and it left it looking nice and shiny, so i'm looking forward to how it compares when I curl my hair.
Overall i'm really impressed with the box and it's value for money and would I recommend to anyone thinking about subscribing to a beauty box. I'm already looking forward to what February's box has to offer! You can subscribe to Lovembeauty via their website for just £10 + P&P.
