Yay! My first Love Me Beauty box has arrived!!
I was very happy with what the postman brought me this morning! My first box from the Love Me Beauty boutique!
The contents are:
Model Co eye define eye pencil in black. Apparently the must have tool for intense long lasting colour. I've tried it on and it's good so far, although I wouldn't say no-smudge as the description claims!!!!
NYX cosmetics nail polish. I am very disappointed that they sent me purple glitter as the picture on the website showed a lovely pastel blue/green, however they do state that colours vary! There couldn't really have been a worse colour choice to send me! I tried this on too. It's really not for me, it's basically just glitter and also it takes a while to dry and even though it feels dry now it's still soft enough to smudge. Sorry NYX cosmetics.
Montagne Jeunesse hot spring sauna masque. I love these masques they've been around for years! Haven't tried this yet but can't wait to do so!
Urban Veda purifying daily facial wash. Lovely packaging, I would be attracted to this in a shop! This is a 20ml tube not sure what the size is on the shelf but it's £7.99 rrp. Looking forward to using this too so watch out for future posts with reviews on the products I haven't tried yet.
Beauty UK high brow kit. I'm not usually one for making up my eyebrows, I never owned any brow products until recently. I'm willing to give this a go though. the colourless wax should be useful for keeping my brows in place. This cute kit also comes with tweezers :0) rrp only £3.99.
What a lovely treat to get in the post! Can't wait to choose the next box now!

My 5 favourite lip colours
I would just like to share my favourite lipsticks with you all. These are colours that I have read about online and in magazine articles and they were recommended for pale skin. These are not in order of preference I'd like to add!
First up we have the oldest lipstick in my bag:
Chanel 'Escapade'. this was always the ultimate best colour for my skin tone. The lipstick has a lovely creamy texture, feels good. Nice colour for everyday or for going out. The colour is a beautiful rosy colour but I won't show you the contents as it melted once! I've kept it because I love the colour so much, I must have had this lipstick at least 10 years! Oops!
Next is Collection Cream Puff moisturising lip cream. The colour is called Fairy Cake and it's a really pretty vibrant rosy pink and it smells like marshmallows and candy floss! The texture is velvety and the colour is cute! Good colour for day.
Next is the amazing Becca sheer lip tint in 'Alina'. This colour is amazing! So dramatic and I think it looks stunning on pale skin. A little bit dry in texture but I can live with that! A colour for going out.
Then we have Laura Mercier lip stain in English Rose. I love this colour, I wore it on my wedding day. So fresh and pretty nice for daytime. It's a good texture the only thing I'd say is it doesn't really stain which is a shame but it comes in quite a large pot which will probably last me forever!
Finally, I like Cheekmate cheek & lip stain by Soap & Glory. I wear this for work and most other days because it's so natural. I was surprised by it's moisturising texture and the colour is great. Excellent for the cheeks too and it lasts all day. Great product.
This photo (not good quality I'm afraid, sorry) shows the colours from left to right in the order I have written:
Macadamia healing oil treatment
I put this on my hair last night and I swear my hair has grown an inch overnight! Amazing product & smells gorgeous! Try it!
OMG! I want this camera!!
I have just discovered this very clever little camera and I want it! It's everything I need and want in a camera so it's definitely going on my wishlist ;0) It's even on offer so even better!

My diet & exercise routine is working!!!
I'm so pleased, I'm actually seeing results!! I have been working on it really hard though, I've not eaten bread for over a week and I've been having lots of healthy but very tasty food. For example today I have had:
Fruit & Fibre for breakfast with whole milk, cup of tea with sugar.
For lunch it was butternut squash & red pepper soup (no bread)
I've just done an hours legs, bums & tums workout and now eating watermelon & almonds
I will be having fresh fish for dinner with salad, lentils, falafels and salad potatoes.
I've been doing stomach exercises everyday, just my own little routine of about 120 moves.
I've also found a new drink which is green tea flavoured with raspberry & pomegranate. I steep the bag in hot water then add loads of ice cubes to make it a nice cool drink!
I'm really proud of myself for sticking to it :0)
