First time I have had this box, and I am very excited! These boxes have more full size products than other boxes, but maybe aren't as high end as the Birchbox bits. It is the same price as Birchbox, so thought I'd give it a go!
There is another box difference between love me beauty boxes and other boxes around; you can choose the contents. You have a choice of 4 options, the last one being a random box you don't know the contents of.
I have 4 full size products and two oils that I am unsure if they are full size or not, I did see on another blog that they are full size as well!!!!
The first thing I noticed is that all but one are organic, and the other (Amie eye makeup removed) is free from lots of chemicals and suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
The first thing I looked at were the two oils, they are tiny, but are supposed to do two baths, can be out on a flannel for in the shower or can be used on pulse points.. I haven't used them yet, but they smell amazing, together they make the box smell really nice, but even separately they smell great. I'm very excited to use these.
Next to come out was the Organic Surge Gentle Cleansing Lotion. It looks good, and I really like using organic products. However, I'm not sure that I like the smell, it has organic rosemary and lemon oils in it, and I'm sure that separately they smell nice but together I'm just not too sure.
Next out was the Organic Surge super intensive daily moisturiser. Again the packaging looks good, it reminds me of the higher end stuff you would get somewhere like Boots. This one smells good though, it is a really light smell and not too strong. When I used it it jas a quite thick and creamy texture but soaked on straight away, I wasn't left feeling greasy or like I had to wait ages for it to soak into my skin. After using it once there was a difference between my two hands in how soft and smooth the one that had the moisturiser in felt compared to my other hand (I know it's not meant for hands but I haven't long out makeup on and don't want to start again!).
Again another product that looks good, it looks like something that could be aimed at young adults/teenagers, the pattern is quite playful, but I like it anyway. It doesn't really seem to have a smell to it, so if it does then it's not very strong at all. It is oil free so should be pretty easy to use in the morning just before putting makeup on without having to wait or try and wipe it off.
Overall this has been a really good box, and am already looking forward to my next one! The only thing missing that I really like in the Birchbox is the card telling you about the products, how to use them and how much they are to buy. Having it all there in one place to have a quick look at is always helpful with these products, especially when they are new brands you haven't heard of before.
