Life of Jana

My first August beauty box has arrived! The Love Me Beauty box took a while to arrive - usually their service is very fast and the maximum time I've had to wait has been 5 days. This time it took 9 days and I had already started to worry that maybe it had been lost in the post. Luckily, my beauty box arrived today as I was really excited to get it. I chose Edition 3 - the box contained 4 full size products.   Marsk - Mineral Eye Shadow in shade 'Lucky Penny' - RRP £14.49 I don't like loose powder eye shadows much but as it is 100% natural and cruelty free I might give it a try. It is highly pigmented and has a creamy texture which makes the product easy to apply wet or dry. A La Carte - Smudge-Proof Eyebrow Definer in Blonde - RRP £23 I've had this brand before. I got their mascara from one of the previous beauty boxes and I wasn't very impressed. I have never used water-based eyebrow definer before but luckily it can also be used as an eye...

I skipped the June edition of the Love Me Beauty box and thought twice before deciding to order for July. I already have so many cosmetic and beauty products and I don't know if I would ever end up using them all. I've mentioned it previously but what I really like about Love Me Beauty is that you can pick from 3 different menus, choosing what suits you best. When I saw this months brands and offers, I just couldn't resist! I chose Edition 3.   Inside there were 6 products, 5 of them full size.  Lashem Lash Enhancing Serum - RRP £40 (3.5ml), mine is a sample size 2ml. I have been thinking of getting a eyelash serum for a while but as they are quite expensive I didn't want to buy anything before actually trying the product out first. That is why beauty box samples are so useful! This lash enhancing serum nourishes and conditions. The result is longer looking lashes within 2 weeks. A thin line of serum applied on a clean skin to the base of your ...

Each month I have been thinking of cancelling my Love Me Beauty box subscription but each time a new edition comes out I want it straight away! I have noticed that my favourite from all of the menus has been the last one. For three months in a row I have been choosing Edition 3.   I am going to start with the British handcrafted organic skincare brand Suti . The packet is lovely, very elegant and it really gives a good impression of the product. Here is a little description about each of them from the card: The 'Cleanse Balm' draws out impurities cleanses the skin of dirt, pollutants and make-up.   The 'Purity Balm' soothes and cocoons the skin with its incredibly pure and potent botanicals, also contains a natural healing and skin strengthening formulation. The 'Fabulous Foot Balm' is a rich and nourishing foot balm to help rehydrate and revive chapped, tired and aching feet.  'Cleanse balm' is massaged into damp sk...

I was waiting for this month's Love Me Beauty box with excitement. This month I got Edition 3, mostly because I was looking forward to using the shampoo and nail polish. Inside there were 5 products and a £25 Hello Fresh gift card.  I am going to start with Neäl & Wølf Ritual Daily Cleansing Shampoo - RRP £11.50 for 250ml. Mine is a full size product. I have not found a good shampoo for my hair - recently it has not been in very good condition. Hopefully with this product I can see which direction to go with it. I am also pleased with this as I can wash my hair daily. It does not have any particular smell but after washing it gives a nice, fresh salon look and smell.   Redken Colour Extend Conditioner - RRP £9.99 for 250ml. Mine is a 25ml sample size conditioner for coloured hair. It de-tangles and provides protection from fading and helps with restoring colour vibrancy. I am growing my hair out as previously I had been dyeing it. My ends are still ve...

My box for March is Edition 3. I was thinking to skip this month but when I checked and saw what they were offering this month, I was very tempted and made an order. This Love Me Beauty box had a really good selection of 6 products.  The Vintage Cosmetic Company False Lashes in 'Gracie' - Full size, RRP £6. I am starting with these, as I never wear false lashes and can't add any positive or negative comment about this product. What I can say though is that on the weekend I will try to do my first giveaway, and these lashes will definitely be included with a few other things! Deep Steep Foot Stick in 'Candy Mint' - Full size (15ml), RRP £3.60 . This foot stick contains powerful essential oils of organic Shea and Cocoa Butters. I absolutely love products for feet. After a long day at work or walking it is just so good to give your feet a little treatment. You can apply it on the heels and cuticles or for the full treatment it can be applied to the entire ...
