| Love Me Beauty Box February 2014 Edition* (£10 + p&p) |
I was already pretty excited for the arrival of my box this month because the products inside are ones I've never tried before, ones I probably wouldn't pick up if I were out shopping but they really appeal to me and I want to give them a go. That probably makes no sense at all, does it? I tend to play it pretty safe when I'm shopping now, I'm more likely to repurchase something I know I like rather than giving something new a try. I need to get back to being a little more adventurous I think!
Percy & Reed No-Fuss Flawlessness Dry Conditioner (£12 for 150ml) Full size product.
We all have those days where washing our hair seems like one task too many, preferring to reach for a trusty can of dry shampoo. Whoever invented that, thank you! Dry conditioner is something I've never thought about before, but now I have a can here I'm really looking forward to giving it a try. Promising to give your hair a healthy softness and shine, it says it helps to reduce damage caused by brushing. How true that is I'm not sure, but I'm hoping it gives my hair a little extra shine!
La Claree Ultra Melting Body Milk (£24 for 200ml) Sample size product.
This has a really lovely texture. I don't think I'd describe it as a milk though, it has a light lotion consistency that almost feels like it's been lightly whipped. The scent is very classic, almost a little like Nivea and it lingers for a really nice amount of time without being overpowering. This promises to nourish the skin whilst promoting collagen production.
Bakewell Soap Company Multi-Purpose Pocket Balm (£3.95 for 25g) Full size product.
I don't live too far from Bakewell so I'm really looking forward to trying out a locally made product. I really love a good multi-use product and this is a balm that can be used on the lips, hands, nails and body. This has a really nice consistency, it's balmy but not too oily and it makes an especially lovely lip balm.
Inner Me Beautify Me Vitamin Complex (£15) Full size product.
I think I've heard of this brand before but I've never tried anything from them before. The instructions say you should take 2 each day after a meal. There are 2 weeks worth of capsules in this pack, so if you were taking them all the time it would definitely start to get quite pricey! Inner Me believe that health & beauty begin within and these capsules provide 7 fabulous nutrients.
This is the mystery product and I'm really pleased! A gloss from this range was in the November box and it's a beautiful formula so I'm really looking forward to trying out another shade. These are pretty sheer, but they do give a beautiful hint of colour with a super glossy finish. Translucent Wood Rose is a beautiful rose shade that's perfect for Valentine's Day and I think this was a lovely surprise addition to this month's box.
Are you subscribed to Love Me Beauty box?
What do you think of the Valentine's Day edition?

The little multi-purpose balm looks very cute and handy, it's the type of thing I'd be happy to pop into my bag and use while I'm out and about. xxx
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a really handy little thing <3
DeleteThis beauty box looks great, Jennie! I'm definitely pretty similar to you when it comes to buying products - I tend to re-buy the things I love and avoid brand new products unless I've read or heard amazing reviews about them. I started getting Birchbox a few months ago and I've definitely been pleasantly surprised in trying new products. It's so much fun to get boxes like this Love Me Beauty Box; it's like a present you give to yourself (:

Birch box are lovely, I hope you loved the box this month! <3
DeleteNice box content I must say! I know there's
ReplyDeletedry shampoo but never seen a dry conditioner
before! And the 'beauty me' vitamin pills are
new to me as well, though I'm quite against
pills and medicine so probably wont try that
one out :P Xx

DeleteThe dry conditioner is so interesting! I love your beauty box openings. -Hanna Lei

DeleteI'm still really on the fence about beauty boxes and subscription services but it looks like you did get some pretty decent things!
ReplyDeleteCasualllyawkward
They're definitely hit and miss xo
DeleteThat lipgloss is a gorgeous shade! I really didn't like the Percy & Reed dry conditioner, hope you have better luck with it :)
ReplyDeleteJess xo
I'm looking forward to trying it !xo
DeleteI am so tempted to subscribe to this box! I said I would give beauty boxes a rest but this seems to be a steady offering of great products, and the option to choose is too tempting.
ReplyDeleteThe Multi Purpose Balm, Vitamin Complex and Dry Conditioner sound so good!

They're really consistent <3
DeleteLove the lipbalm :)
ReplyDeleteLovely post xx

DeleteI bet that gloss looks lovely on you! I like the look of the Multi-Purpose balm too xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's a super pretty shade <3
Deletethe vitamins were on dragons den last year
ReplyDeleteAhh I though I recognised them! ox
DeleteOooh I love the sound of the dry conditioner! :) That sounds like such a great idea.

I'm looking forward to trying it! xo
DeleteSome lovely items here :) Wish I could afford a beauty box subscription again, miss the excitement! All nostalgic about lucky bags now too, haha, I seem to remember one with a turtle on the packaging!
ReplyDeleteahh yes, they were the best! xo
Deletei always love seeing whats inside these boxes, looks like you got some really lovely products xxx

DeleteThis looks like a really nice box with good and useful products! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the variety <3
DeleteI'm very intrigued to find out about those Inner Beauty vitamins, although I'm head over heels with the packaging! What a lovely box of goodies though. The dry conditioner sounds pretty odd to me! I think I'd rather use the usual conditioning spray although again I'd love to know if it actually works for you!
ReplyDeleteI think everyone has the ability to draw! You're probably better than you really think you are :) great to know you doodle the odd bit, I always end of mindless doodling on the phone myself!

It's an intriguing product for sure! <3
DeleteThis looks like a wonderful beauty box, 2 weeks worth of vitamins is a nice addition! The gloss is lovely! Cx
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful shade <3
DeleteI think this box is goo but not great - the Artdeco Hydra Lip Booster is pretty & quite a wearable shade so I would be happy with that

it's really lovely, such a pretty colour <3
DeleteI used to absolutely love these boxes and then suddenly they just weren't doing it for me anymore. It's such a shame because when they were doing products I liked they were such fantastic quality. Update on how the dry conditioner works for you please?
ReplyDeleteNicola // pink-confetti.co.uk
Absolutely! xo
DeleteI'm very curious about the Percy and Reed Dry Conditioner, it sounds amazing! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's intriguing! xo
DeleteAww, what a lovely little box! I'd be quite interested to know what the pocket balm is like. :)
ReplyDeleteTara xo
I'll definitely update you! xo
DeleteThis looks way better than Birchbox

It's so lovely <3
DeleteNice content of the box. :) I like it.
ReplyDelete:) x
Deletewent for box 1 aswell, unfortunately didnt get the lipgloss but the same nail varnish (and colour) i got in my december box
ReplyDeleteAww that's a shame, maybe they'll swap it for you? xx
DeleteI missed the postman with my box yesterday, but I just had to read your post to find out what the mystery product was. I was worried it would be another Lord & Berry lipstick, but I'm quite pleased that it's an Artdeco gloss instead - the last one they gave out was absolutely brilliant!

It's so nice <3
DeleteI don't subscribe to this box but I love the look of that dry conditioner! x
ReplyDeleteIt's a really interesting looking product !xo
DeleteI was exactly the same with lucky bags.. still remember when Claire's Accessories brought them out and the childish excitement to buy one! Those were the days, how old that makes me feel now hehe ;)
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy these posts, it's really lovely to get a taster of boxes. I did subscribe a few years ago to Glossy box but was quite disappointed. Seeing this has made me want to try another though <3
