This is the second month of the re-branding of Beautecobox to Love Me Beauty and i've been pretty impressed so far! They've changed the boxes to this pretty cool dressing table silhouette design and also the logo but the inside packaging and quality of the products are still of the same standard. If you haven't heard of this subscription box, essentially 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' in their boutique (although this month they also had a special Wowcher menu and one from September). Check out their website here!
As with last month, i received the dispatch e-mail on the 9th + the box arrived at my local depot on the 12th. This month i had a problem with my PayPal subscription with them but they offered me an extra sample in my next box for re-subscribing! They also showed everyone how great their customer service is once again, which i'll explain more about later!
This month i chose Menu 3 because i needed a new eye make-up remover! Mixed reviews for this box but overall quite pleased! I received four full-sized items + one sample sized item.
Love Me Beauty UK: October 2013
Box value: £31.30
Lord & Berry (Full Size) Smudge Proof Eyeliner RRP £7.50
"In one stroke, SMUDGEPROOF Eyeliner outlines the eyes from morning until night. Its run-proof formula is also suitable to create graphic style eye shadow."
Overall, a pretty good eyeliner which stays put all day and offers a creamy formula so you don't have to tug around your eyes. It definitely didn't smudge throughout the day! I got the colour 'Smoke' which is a sultry dark brown, perfect on days where black lines are too dramatic.

Lord & Berry (Full Size) Scuba Mascara RRP £12
"Waterproof. Thickens and lengthens. Made for sports and high emotions. Delivers natural-looking definition in one coat. Keeps lashes silky, soft and flexible. Brush tapers to evenly coat each lash, even at the inner corner of the eye. Smudge resistant."
This mascara was really bad to be honest. It was dry and there was hardly any product in it at all. I saw that a lot of other subscribers complained about this product and Love Me Beauty responded by talking to Lord & Berry, who will be providing a free lipstick to replace this product next month! Definitely shows how great consumer power can be, huh? They also replaced this product with Anatomicals body scrub / hand cream in their remaining boxes. Great customer service from Love Me Beauty!

Balm Balm (Full Size) Indulge Bath & Shower - 5ml RRP £6
"This expertly blended aromatherapy oil is enough for two to three baths or showers & comes in a little drawstring bag. INDULGE pampers & luxuriates."
Definitely the best item in the box this month! It makes bath time so much more relaxing and enjoyable. It leaves the skin feeling lovely and soft and can also be used as a rub-in perfume. It's a little bit expensive to buy regularly but i think it makes a lovely treat for yourself or stocking filler for someone special!

Weleda (Sample Size) 18ml Millet Nourishing Shampoo RRP £8.95 (190ml)
Sample value: £0.85
"Millet nourishing shampoo for normal hair contains organic macadamia nut oil and extracts of organic millet husks and sage to provide gentle cleansing to nourish and maintain the hair's natural suppleness."
This shampoo is a lot kinder to your hair because it doesn't lather much, which means it doesn't cause as much damage! After a few washes i didn't really see a noticeable difference to my hair though.

Amie Skincare (Full Size) Bright Eyes RRP £4.95
"Bright Eyes removes make-up effortlessly and gently without stinging or irritating the delicate eye area.
Eye make-up remover is an essential product for most girls who wear mascara, eye shadow and eyeliner regularly and who find that they need a specialist cleanser that really removes all traces of eye make-up easily, as the last thing you want to do is rub away at the delicate eye area trying to get your make-up off!"
I super-love the packaging of this brand - it's so fun + refreshing! However, the cleanser itself doesn't do its job well in my opinion. You have to rub to get anything off and even so i always find myself with panda eyes. :{
