Love me beauty uk: November 2013 ♡


Hello sweeties! I always get excited when another month rolls by and i can pick another box of goodies in the Love Me Beauty boutique! This beauty subscription box costs £10 + £2.95 delivery and you can pick from three menus a selection of beauty + lifestyle products. This month they also offered a Surprise Box + a Limited Edition box. Take a look at their website here!

This box arrived a little bit later compared to last month but that's okay! I received my dispatch e-mail on the 14th November and the box arrived on the 20th. If you read last month's Love Me Beauty post i wrote that they attached a note to my box to send me a £7 sample. Unfortunately they didn't include this sample so i contacted them and they said they've sent it now so hopefully it'll come and i'll keep you guys updated on that! They also included the Lord & Berry lipstick as a replacement for the eye make-up products that customers complained about last month.

This month i chose Menu 3 again because it included a show-stopping red nail polish! Very pleased with this box overall. It included three full-sized items + two generous samples + Lord & Berry lipstick. This box is worth over £50!
Love Me Beauty UK: November 2013
Box value: £50.20 + Lord & Berry Lipstick
Absolution (Sample Size) 40ml Le Soin Purifiant RRP £24 (50ml)
Sample value: £19.20

"Le Masque Purifiant is a skin-renewing mask that rids skin of impurities while restoring radiance and vitality. An exclusive cocktail of birch sap and white clay absorbs impurities and tightens pores, while soothing skin."

I was very impressed of the size of the product considering it's only a sample size - just 10ml less than the full product. The packaging is pretty and great quality too and although it's all in French, it's a simple product to use. The mask only needs to be applied for 10 minutes which is great for me as i don't like sitting around in masks for half an hour! This mask has a more liquidy consistency than i'm used to but i didn't need to use a lot of product. It was extremely relaxing and refreshing on my skin and left my face super-soft and smooth.
Jelly Pong Pong (Full Size) 2-in-1 Black Shadow / Liner RRP £10.50

"A uniquely formulated crayon that doubles as an eyeliner for thick, precise lines as well as perfectly blended eye shadow. The exclusive combination of Italian formulated waxes and pigments allow you to build up the colour, smudge or create bold lines quickly and easily."

I already own one of these pencils in black from my August Glossybox that i use every single day so i was hoping to receive another black one (that was stated on the website). However i was initially a little disappointed to get a brown colour instead. I tried it on though and it was lovely! I smudged it just underneath my waterline and then used the black liner on top to add a little more depth. I love this liner because it's easy to smudge and gives a rich colour.
Mitchell And Peach (Sample Size) 50ml Shower Wash RRP £20 (250ml)
Sample value: £4.00

"Mitchell and Peach shower wash is an invigorating body cleanser which nourishes and softens all skin types. Enriched with Vitamin E, wheat proteins and natural English honey harvested from the Mitchell Estate in Kent shower was invigorates the senses with a classic English countryside inspired scent."

I love receiving stuff like body washes in my beauty boxes because it's more than likely that i'll use it than a make-up product that's a wrong colour / texture. This body wash has a very subtle herby-floral smell and it's made of all sorts of essential oils. I poured some into a running bath and it resulted in a fair amount of bubbles and a relaxing aroma. I also used it as a body wash and it lathered really well, leaving my skin super-soft. 
Models Own (Full Size) 14ml Nail Polish ‘Red Alert’ RRP £5 (14ml)

"Stay on trend right down to the tips of your toes. All Models Own nail polishes glide on smoothly and are hard wearing and long lasting. Designed for passion and fun, paint the town red with this bold statement colour."

I've seen this brand around a lot on the high street and although i've always been drawn to the bright colours, i've never tried them out. The colour Red Alert is a bright postbox red without any shimmer. I was extremely surprised at the quality of these polishes - just one coat of this colour was enough for me! It's smooth, glossy, quick-drying and leaves a professional finish. Such great results for only £5!
Art Deco (Full Size) Hydra Lip Booster RRP £11.50
Translucent Rose (38)

"This lip gloss provides full sensual lips with a trace of colour and wonderful shine. Hyaluronic Filling Spheres maintain the hydration level of the lips and “cushion” little wrinkles from beneath, Marine Fillings Spheres evens out wrinkles and lines and Blue Seakale and Collangeneer support the regeneration, improving the skins elasticity. The Hydra Lip Booster has an excellent wearing comfort and visible care for the lips."

Very hydrating and shiny but it's a little bit too translucent for my taste. Doesn't leave lips feeling sticky though.

Lord & Berry Intensity Lipstick Brick Lip (Full Size) RRP £12

"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."

Love Me Beauty was kind enough to provide us with an extra lipstick as a replacement product for last month's dry eye make-ups! I received the same Intensity lipstick in Peach Gleam back when Love Me Beauty was Beautecobox back in August but it was too light for me. This time i got the colour Brick Lip which is a darker brown and more suited to my taste. The lipstick is hydrating and made my lips look fuller whilst hiding any cracks. It is also highly pigmented. Great product!

Thank you for reading!
