Love me beauty uk: September 2013 ♡

 So during the last month the BeautecoBox started their re-branding to Love Me Beauty! My first Beautecobox was the August 2013 one + i really enjoyed most of the products i received. If you haven't heard of this subscription box, basically you pay £10 + £2.95 postage + packaging a month and you receive a box full of four or five beauty or lifestyle goodies in the mail! With this particular box, you get to choose between three 'menus'. Check out their website here!

As you can see, they're still using the same boxes as before, just with stickers of their new logo. Personally i liked their old branding, but i'm excited to see what their new box designs will be like! This month i received my dispatch e-mail on Monday 9th September + it reached my local Royal Mail depot three days later. I'm really happy with this delivery service! All of the packing inside is the same as last time, but for some reason i didn't get my information card. It's okay though because all the info is on their website.

I'm very pleased with the selection of products this month as they're all body + skincare stuff. I think it's a lot harder to please everyone with make-up products in these types of boxes + often people will receive unsuitable colours / textures. I chose Menu 1 and i'm so happy with all of it!
Matriskin Collagen Serum - Lifting Effect Without Surgery

"Both to prevent and to cure various signs of aging. It fills and reduces wrinkles since first applications and removes expression lines in just 30 days."

I love getting little serums in these boxes because they're not something i usually buy but i do like to try them out! I was especially excited to try this one since the full size retails at a whopping $145! I applied a few drops to my neck, eye area and forehead where i have very fine lines and massaged it in. Instantly my skin felt 10x smoother and the lines almost completely disappeared! Amazing!! 
Murad Osmolyte Tonic - Infuse The Skin With Essential Nutrients

"This refreshing mist replenishes and moisturises to plump and firm skin. The Duel-phase moisturising system infuses skin with essential nutrients that increase cellular hydration, repair the skin's barrier and soothe skin. Suitable for all skin types."

I was surprised to find that this tiny 15ml bottle is actually the full size, but it's super-easy to carry around. It's the most concentrated + hydrating mist that i've used. It takes a little while to dry but it's so refreshing + lives up to its promise of firming + plumping the skin. Leaves the skin feeling smooth. Sometimes it makes me itch a little but it only lasts a minute or so. The mist doesn't have much of a scent which is great.
Nip + Fab Dry Leg Fix - Pamper Your Pins To Perfection 

"This intensive balm helps to smooth dry and flaky skin thanks to an innovative moisturising and restructuring hydraconcept, called Aquaxyl. This miracle ingredient boasts scientifically substantiated benefits to improve the water reserves in the skin, limit water loss and visibly improve the surface of the skin."

This is the main reason why i chose Menu 1 - i have always suffered from seriously dry legs! :{ This 100ml squeezy tube is the full size + i love the packaging. This is more like a moisturiser than a balm, but works so much better than any moisturiser i've tried! It's very easily absorbed, leaving the skin looking brighter, healthier + brings back the colour to dry legs. Of course it can be used on any other parts of the body that require an instant hit of hydration. It also smells absolutely wonderful! I love it! :D 
Anatomicals Eye Gel - Revitalise Your Eyes

"Bye bye eye bags. Don’t worry if the morning after the night before has left you with dark circles and under-eye bags. Now there’s a way to combat eternal fatigue with Anatomicals No Old Bags Allowed, a refreshing eye gel, containing arnica and orange flower water – the essential prescription for perfect peepers."

Recently i've been getting next to no sleep, mainly due to working super-late + a silly false fire alarm that had all the residents leaving their cosy beds for the freezing cold at four in the morning! This gel arrived at the perfect time to save my poor eyes. :3 It instantly makes your eyes feel more awake and refreshed. It also helps brighten dark under-eyes. I can't comment on how well it reduces eye bags though as mine don't puff up much. xD The tube is generous considering how little you need to apply.
Essential Care Lip Silk

"This is a tasty and nourishing blend of beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil and orange essential oil to moisturise, repair and protect your lips in all weathers."

I used to suffer from chronic dry, chapped lips so i like to try out new lip balms that will keep my lips truly moisturised. This is a lovely little lip balm containing 100% organic veggie ingredients. It makes lips feel smooth and non-greasy. Unlike some other lip balms (for example, Vaseline) it doesn't dry out the lips even more.

What do you think about this box?
