The August Love Me Beauty Box perfectly wrapped in pink has finally arrived and this month it’s themed on all things make-up and very similar to last month’s pickings. I feel that this month’s box is lacking in substance and only includes 4 products. There is no lifestyle extra this month which would of possibly filled the void. On a positive note all of the products are full-sized and the box itself has an incredible value. I think we got a teeny bit spoilt last month!

The line up this month was mainly all things make-up featuring the brands  Mirabella, A La Carte Cosmetics, Marsk and Oriflame

“Love Me Beauty” is a Beauty subscription service like the other boxes however you get to choose the products you want from a choice of 3 menu’s each month. Each menu has a slightly different set of  items to complement the diverse needs of their subscribers.

This month I opted for Menu 1. To see what was available this month please click here.

My box included 4 full sized products.

1.    Marsk Mineral Eye Shadow  – Full Size RRP £14.49

This mineral eye shadow is 100% natural and cruelty free and came in the shade “You’re Toast” which is a subtle metallic light brown colour with shimmery gold particles.

The eye shadow is highly pigmented and applies smoothly with a satin like finish. The overall result can be worked upon to create the desired depth and intensity. This can also be used wet or dry.

I love the colour which can be used to achieve both a day and evening look.

2.    A La Carte Smudge Proof Eyebrow Definer  –  Full Size RRP £23.00

When the August menu was released I was baffled as to why there was only one shade available in all three of their menu’s which came in the form of Blonde.

The shade itself is medium brown and not blonde at all which in itself is quite deceiving. The skinny tip pen has great precision for filling in your eyebrows and it’s staying power is pretty impressive.

Really disappointed that this shade didn’t match my eyebrows as this really does deliver as a brow product.

3.    Oriflame Ecollagen Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream – Full Size RRP £16.95

This roller ball eye cream was the decider for me in choosing Menu 1 and it claims to be a powerful, lightweight cream and the first to be enriched plant stem cell extracts to aid stimulation collagen production and re-plump wrinkles from within.

Whilst I don’t have any wrinkles this also addresses dark circles and puffiness which are my main concerns. I tend to have a lot of late nights and early starts so hope this helps in making me look more awake in the morning alongside my daily dose of caffeine!

4.   Mirabella Lip Luster Liner – Full Size RRP £10.50

I recently got introduced to Mirabella in a previous beauty box I received and was happy to see them make a debut in this month’s Love Me Beauty Box.

I received the shade “Bashful” which is a pretty light pink with a slight plum hue. This glides on smoothly and I applied this to the whole area of my lips instead of using as a liner. The aloe vera properties gives a moisturising base and with a little bit of lip balm gives you the perfect finish.

My Verdict

This month’s box featured all things make-up and very similar to last month’s pickings. I feel that  the box is lacking in substance and only included 4 products this month. There is also no lifestyle extra this month which would of possibly filled the void.

On a positive note all of the products are full-sized and the box itself has an incredible value of £64.94.

The line up this month featured the brands Mirabella, A La Carte Cosmetics, Marsk and Oriflame 

Overall I’m pretty pleased with the contents with the exception of the brow definer.

I am hoping that Love Me Beauty have got their mojo back as they are definitely back on the right track. I hope they sustain this quality and variety within their boxes each month.
