BeautecoBox UK: August 2013 

I really enjoyed receiving my Glossybox beauty boxes in the post + the fun of trying out new brands, so I decided to sign up to Beautecobox too! The Beautecobox costs just £10 + £2.95 postage + packaging per month. You receive four or five products in each box and you get to choose between three different 'menus'. This means that the stuff you receive won't be a surprise but you get stuff you know you would like to try out! I decided to go with Menu 3. For this box I typed in the code 'FRIEND07' at the checkout + received two bonus products! Check out their website here.

The design of the box is so cute, no? It's also 100% recyclable! 

Arran Aromatics Lavender & Tea Tree Facial Wash (Full size)

"Remove daily environmental impurities with Arran Aromatics Lavender & Tea Tree Facial Wash. It's traditional, non-drying formulation contains naturally exfoliating loofa and the deep cleansing action of tea tree and lavender extract to promote a revived complexion."

I really enjoy products that contain tea tree because of its reducing effect on spots + its lovely smell. Lavender is also very calming. I enjoyed using this product - it had a smooth gel-like texture + it was great at exfoliating. It cleansed very well. The only thing to be wary of is that it contains quite a few paraben ingredients.

Lord & Berry Intensity Lipstick Peach Gleam (Full Size)

"Absolute Intensity is a satin finish lipstick that glides on silkily, nourishing lips with karite butter, rice bran oil and vitamin E. Its formula of highly concentrated colour from the first sweep, while maintaining a sensual texture is blissfully like a second skin."

This has a very lovely peachy colour + soft texture, but it doesn't suit me very much! It has a little shimmer and I prefer matte colours, but it would look lovely on girls with fair skin.

Lord & Berry Kissproof Lip Colour Blossom (Full Size)

"A long lasting yet creamy and soft lip pencil that is lightweight yet densely pigmented. This water-resistant formula has nourishing properties and is soft enough to be used as a liner and a lipstick."

This lip colour has a very beautiful + rich berry tone that lasts for absolutely ages! I used it both as a liner and lipstick - it was so easy to apply and it did both jobs very well. My only complaint is that it is a little sticky for some reason. >w<

S5 Purity Serum (Sample Size)

"Targeted breakout control treatment for blemish prone skin with rainforest bioactives to reduce the appearance of blemishes & pores for a clearer complexion."

I've only been using this for a few days so I haven't seen much of a difference, but it's very pleasant to use. It has a very rich formula so even though this sample is only 10ml, I know it will last me a long time.

Melvita Body Milk Rose (Sample Size)

"This light, fresh, silky body milk provides all-day hydration for the skin thanks to a blend of rose floral water, rose seed milk and wild rose petals. Use daily on the entire body to refresh and replenish the skin, and for an immediate feeling of comfort."

This body milk gives the skin a lovely silky texture and it's really hydrating. However, the smell of the product isn't too good, even though I usually like the smell of rose water. :{

♡♡ Extras ♡♡

I received these two lovely extra products with the code: 'FRIEND07'! :3

Headline Colors Spotlight

This nail polish is a beautiful metallic lilac-silver colour, but not really something I would wear so I'll pass this on!

Eve of St. Agnes Body Balm Rose + Mango Butter

This butter is amazingly moisturising and is great to use on the legs for a lovely shine and other dry areas that need that extra little love and care. It has a wonderful smell of roses.

Thank you for reading, lovely!
