The august edition of the love me beauty came this week and although I wasn't too enthusiastic when seeing the menu or when I received it I realised that I actually quite like it. I will use all but one product and that is a great thing as sometimes products may be more in number but less in use.

 Here are my July boxes.

I have to admit that the Love me Beauty box has always been a favourite box but the May boxes seem to be sending this box in a direction I don't particularly like and seeing what other bloggers have said and the comments that I have seen other people seem to agree with my bewilderment. But which menu did I choose and what was in the box? I choose menu 3 this month but I have to admit none really interested me and I prepaid and didn't realise I could pause so I chose the one I liked best from the three options available. You can see the main issue even from the opening picture and this is that 40% of this box of this  box is made up of non beauty products and one of these items is seen in all the boxes and tbh I am disappointed that it is one of the items in this box. So, what were my individual items? The first item in box are a set of three pocket notebooks by Go stationery. This is probably the second most disappointing item in the box is it...

This is my March Love Me Beauty box that I collected from the post office this morning. The first one got lost and I think this the replacement but I never can be sure with Royal Mail. I am still loving this subscription service and have boxes up to June due to my subscription being prepaid and three lovely blog readers signing up with my link. Thank you ever so much!

These are my February 2014 boxes.

This month I will get it correct, lol. Noticed an error on last months post beginning of this month and had to correct it but hopefully won't do it this month. This is my February love ME beauty box. Love ME beauty, formerly beauteco, is definitely one of the most bang for your buck beauty boxes at the moment and this month doesn't disappoint. It is all hair, body and skin care for me this month and I am over the moon about that.  This box is different as you can pick your box or take a surprise box so you have some control over your box. These are my items this month. I got three full sized and I am over the moon at getting the nip fab dry leg fix. My last one is almost out and it smells and is really great. I got box 3 as I didn't want the vitamins. So what were my products and what did I think? My first item is my mystery item and it was the nip + fab dry leg fix. I love the scent of this as it smells really fruity and ...

This is my January Love ME Beauty box. It actually arrived Saturday but I only collected it this morning. I actually selected it on the 5th so has been a while since I selected so am happy to receive it. I think I chose menu 2. These are the contents of the box and they fill them quite nicely. (Anyone who goes on facebook and gets a few beauty boxes might know that one box has got bigger but the contents have got less, so it is nice that in this case the contents fill the box. In my case that box is yet to be dispatched.) The first item in my box is the anatomicals you need a blooming shower! your nose smells rose body cleanser. It smells really nice but as I have only a bath I am unlikely to use it so it might go in my 'products to pass on' pile. It has a rrp of £3 which is great value for 250ml. The second product is the Pureology Colour Stylist Silk Bodifier. this is a voluminizing mousse for colour treated hair. Sadly, another product I am unlikely to...

This is my second box of the month and it is the start of another six month subscription to Love Me Beauty. Love me Beauty is slightly different from Birchbox or Glossybox as you pick the box you want from three selections or you can choose the mystery box. This was a mystery box.  This is how my box looked when I open the box and I really love the festive leaflet as it puts me in a Christmas mood on this dreary December morning in Birmingham. I didn't look at the leaflet before I looked at the products so I was slightly surprised that I received box 1 as my mystery box last month was completely different from the normal boxes. "The only difference in the lip pencil is in 'Romantica' and not 'Seduction'. These are the Lord and Berry kiss proof lip pencil in 'Romantica' and the Lord & Berry Intensity Lipstick in Glazed as well as the Headline Colors nail varnish in 'Quicksand' . I received these in my Menu 3 box mid mo...

I really love the December Love ME beauty box and all the boxes that I have had in my six month subscription to this company and I will be resubscribing in January as the December 2013 box is the last box which has been paid for. I love the card this month and the colouring is very classic and it makes me feel in a festive mood. This is an amazing company and a slight twist on the beauty box idea as it is great as you can pick a surprise box like I did last month, especially great if you like surprise boxes, or one of their three editions like I did this month so you know exactly what you are getting that month. I chose edition 3 this month as I fancied the night cream in the third box rather than the day cream or the 5 minute facial. This is how it looked after I pulled the info cards from over my products. I love the pink shredded paper and it is really girly, although I have to quickly bin it or put it in the recycling or my son trails it through my house and it make...
