Love Me Beauty July Review: Unboxing the #VacationVibes Edit

Hey there!

This blog post is so overdue! I am aware it is the 1st of August and I am about to discuss last month’s Love Me Beauty Bag. I’ve been busy the last month and didn’t have the time to write. So here it goes, a review on my love me Beauty Bag from July.

Love Me Beauty is a monthly subscription service where you get to choose the items that enter your bag. This removes the possibility of disappointing products or poorly matched shades etc. Love Me Beauty gives you 60 credits for you to choose items with. Each item can be worth anywhere from 5-30 credits. You can buy “add on credits” if you want more items than the standard 60 credit allowance give.

The July Edit was called the #VacationVibes Edit and had some stunning pieces to choose from. I am impressed by the improvements of the Love Me Beauty services and this month’s bag really showcases that. I overspent my credits and used add on credits to buy some more items. I couldn’t resist guys, it was too good to miss!

Rodial Dragon’s Blood Eye Mask – 15 credits

These innovative gel eye masks combine expertise in bio-cellulose technology (acts like a second skin) with our unique dragon’s blood complex to intensely hydrate and moisturise the delicate eye area with our unique dragon’s blood complex with an immediate de-puff effect.

This item, out of all the items in the bag, surprised me the most. I wasn’t expecting much from this mask but after I did some research and saw the price tag – jaw dropped. This eye mask retails for £6 for a singe eye mask and up to £39 for 8-10 masks.

Before this month I was not familiar with Rodial. I am familiar with dragon’s blood creeping more and more into skincare.

Dragons Blood is resin from tree sap, specifically the Croton Lecheri tree, that many companies claim is amazing for the skin. They are right.

I have used eye serums to keep the skin fresh and to stay ahead of the aging process. I do use masks somewhat regularly but never specifically eye masks.

After using this Rodial eye mask, I may be a changed person. The mask went on admittedly with some difficulty as there were ridiculous of wrapping before getting to the thin eye mask.

The product is extremely delicate being made from “bio cellulose technology” which in simple terms mimics skin cells to improve puffiness and restore hydration.

The eye mask is designed to be left on for 20-30 minutes and there is additional serum left in the packet that can be used to maintain the effects of the eye masks for up to 2-3 extra days.

After a singular use, I am in love with how my under eye area looks after using this. Visibly reduced puffiness and my under eye area feels super hydrated and smooth.

Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads 5 pads – 5 Credits

I’ve been eyeing these cleansing pads for a long time so this was a great opportunity for me to test them before buying 60 pads for the retail price of £13.49.

I am not completely sold. The pads are infused with glycolic acid and hyaluronic acid to both retexture and moisturise skin. It is applied to cleansed skin once or twice a day to reveal “brighter and smoother” skin. In all honesty I saw no difference which was saddening as I’ve seen and heard a lot of hype. This being said I won’t write these off yet! It may be that I only had 5 pads to use which is 2-5 days depending on whether you use them once or twice a day. Which isn’t enough time for the effects to be noticeable.

NailsInc 14ml Nail Polish x 2 – 25 credits

I got both Claremont Street (minty green colour) and Spring Gardens (pictured above). I have tried both shades.

The polish is long lasting with a great colour payoff. I cannot fault either of these nail polishes. I have been gifted nail polish from NailsInc before and they some of my favourite colours and formulas.

Each nail polish I received is full size and retail for up to £15.

EcoTools Perfecting Blending duo – 20 credits

The blending duo has two sponges one large green sponge and a smaller lighter green sponge. Each sponge can be used wet or dry. I prefer to use the smaller sponge dry to apply powder for under eye baking.

The larger sponge can be used wet but is a little softer than my liking. I prefer sponges that are a little harder – just an odd preference.

The Blending Duo retails for £7-9 depending on where you shop and at what time you shop.

The final item is from EcoTools and is the Complexion Buffing Brush – 20 Credits.

This brush has stole my heart! For almost a year I have been a beauty blender sponge addict but the moment I tried this brush I haven’t stopped using it. My make up applies effortlessly and so much quicker when compared to the sponge. The brush allows for custom coverage and is made of dense bristles that don’t absorb all the product. The EcoTools complexion buffing brush works perfectly with my L’Oréal Total Cover Foundation.

This brush retails for £7.

I hope you enjoyed this review as much as I loved using the products! Today the August edit went live and it was filled with items from Kat Von D and Buxom. I can’t wait for the bag to arrive.

Until Sunday Stay Blessed,
