LOVE ME BEAUTY JUNE

I'm a little slow posting this review of Love Me Beauty's June box but there were some really great products in here that I wanted to share.  I'm completely new to Love Me Beauty.  I saw some interesting posts pop up on a few of the blogs that I follow and decided to give it a go.

Beauty Box Haul

It's been well over a year since I ordered any beauty boxes.  I know a lot of people are so over them but I still love them.  They're like a little mystery present every month.  I wasn't going to resubscribe so soon but Birchbox managed to tempt me with their wonderful August box and whilst I haven't yet resubscribed to Glossybox a super offer popped up in my inbox and I purchased the April and July boxes for just £12.95.

Feel Unique February Beauty Box

I absolutely loved this box. Out of the three I've received from them since December this has been my favourite but sadly it's also the last!  :(

A few days after this box arrived I received an email from Feel Unique to inform me that they were stopping the Beauty Box service.  I'm feeling very sad about this as I only discovered it a few months ago and I've found it to be one of the better services.  It's been consistently good and I haven't had any issues with the service at all.

However, on the bright side they also hinted at having something bigger and better in the works.  So I'll be keeping my ears open for any future news!

Feel Unique Beauty Box January 2012

My first beauty box of the year and it's all about renewing and revitalising.

December Beauty Boxes

December has been a very busy month but also a great month for those of us who are signed up to beauty boxes.  I have 4 fantastic boxes to share with those of you aren't yet signed up to any of these great services.

Feel Unique

This was my first box from Feel Unique.  Being the cheapest (just about at £9.95) it was interesting to see how it compared to the others.

The box is a sleek black 'drawer' type with a pull out section and shiny metallic pink writing on the top.

December contents:

Boudoir Prive November 2011

November contents:

• Dead Sea Spa Magik Silky Smooth Body Lotion - £7.70 / 350ml
• Korres Wild Rose 24 Hour Moisturiser - £19.00 / 40ml
• Rahua Voluminous Shampoo & Conditioner - £27.00 / 275ml & £28.50 / 275ml
• Vinies Ayurveda's Soul Luminous Skin Mask - £32.85 / 40g
• StudioMakeup Rich Hydration Lipstick (Truly Red) - £12.25

I felt somewhat disappointed in this box compared to the others I had received so far.  There are some decent products, which I will talk about at a later date, but there was nothing I was truly excited about.  The feeling may have been amplified by the fact that it arrived very late.  The company claimed my original box was lost in the post and from what I see on their social networking sites it is a common thing for boxes to go missing.  They were more than happy to resend a box to me and a few days after emailing their customer service team I finally got my first box from them (they even sent the second one recorded delivery to make sure it arrived safely)

Was anyone else feeling a little let down by this box?

Carmine Box November 2011

November contents:

Neom Real Luxury Body Lotion - £23.50 / 240ml

Dainty Doll Eyeliner Pencil (Night Train) - £10.50

New CID Cosmetics i-Pout (Pink Bliss) - £15.00

A La Carte Cosmetics Brow Ink (Brown) - £22.00

Lulus Time Bomb Flashback Night Cream - £30.75 / 45ml

More in depth reviews to come.  What did you think of these products?  My personal favourite was the Dainty Doll Eyeliner.

GlossyBox October/November

I'm so behind on my reviews of these boxes.  I forget how busy it gets at work during this time of year and how much energy it uses up!  It's probably the most important time of year for me to remember to pamper myself with a bit of 'me time' and these boxes really do give me a great excuse for regular sessions.

Octobers contents:

• Dermalogica Age Smart Multivitamin Thermoliant - £45.50 / 75ml
• Dermalogica Age Smart Multivitamin Power Recover Masque - £33.00 / 70ml
• Dermalogica Age Smart Renewal Lip Complex - £22.50 / 1.75ml
• Leighton Denny Expert Nails Colour & Care (Hanky Panky) - £11.00 / 12ml
• Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner (Moray) - £13.00
• Robert Piguet Eau De Parfums (Calypso, Fracas & Visa) - £65.00 / 50ml

Carmine October '11 Reviews

I've noticed the growing popularity in these 'beauty boxes' and had been considering trying them out for the last month or so.  I picked out 4 different companies Boudoir Prive (£10 + p&p), GlossyBox (£10 + p&p), Carmine (£10 + p&p) and Feel Unique (£9.95).  A bit overkill? Maybe, but I wanted to try at least one box from each company to see how they compared.  Each one promises almost the same 5-6 deluxe samples with the odd full size product and of course exclusive discount codes for some of the products should you wish to re-purchase.

Although I subscribed to each at the beginning of November I actually received October boxes from two of the companies, Carmine and GlossyBox, which I wasn't expecting.

Below is what I received from Carmine.  I'll be sharing my GlossyBox later this week.

I received my first Carmine box around a week after I signed up.  How exciting!

Opening up the bright orange mailing box revealed the black box inside.  (Sorry about the pics, I had to take them in the evening with a flash.  Hopefully the next ones will be in daylight!  ^_^)
