Love Me Beauty




I've tried many beauty box subscription companies over the years, but none of them ever stuck. I would be paying money for products I wasn't interested in and it all seemed a little bit pointless. Then Love Me Beauty got in contact and they intrigued me. They offer personalised boxes tailored to you, so you get to chose what you get in your box every month. Love Me Beauty offer a personalised experience, you have to answer a load of questions specifying your skin type, hair type, skin colour, interests, etc. and then you're given a shortlist of all the products that will work for you. Fabulous. 

Love Me Beauty sent me a box so I could try out some of their products and I was so impressed. I've tried the Lord & Berry lip crayons before so I was so excited to find this beautiful bright red shade 'Kiss' in my package. I'm also a massive fan of Ciate nail polishes, so this neon coral shade was an absolute treat! The eyelash curlers are a totally new experience for me because they sort of terrify me, but even though I have nothing to compare them too they definitely curl my lashes! I'm not too sure what else you can expect from eyelash curlers but they're cute and have 'Love Me Beauty' engraved on the top.

I hadn't heard of the final two brands in my box, but I think that's the beauty of these subscription boxes; you get the chance to try out products you wouldn't usually pick up. The Lottie London nail polish is absolutely gorgeous and it's been on my nails for weeks now, and the Monu Hydrating Moisturiser has been godsend for my dehydrated winter skin. Discovering new skincare brands is a favourite of mine, because there's so much to try out there.

I've been so excited to be working with Love Me Beauty, and I think you would all love to go and have a look at their website here to see what products they are recommending for you this month.

I have a discount code 'georgia50' for an amazing 50% off, so make sure you put that in at the checkout - it really is a bargain!

Super Liner vs. Super Liner


Now, L'Oreal has a lot of different liners in there collection under the name 'Super Liner'. I'm unsure why, because only one of them is actually super. For anyone who has been following my Youtube/blog for a while, you will know the struggle I have with liquid liners. For anyone new here, I have crazy oily and slightly hooded eyes which is possibly the worst combination for a fierce winged liner. I spent years searching high and low for the perfect liner which wouldn't smudge or flake, would stay black, and was easy to apply, allowing me to get the perfect sharp wing. Seriously, I don't ask for much. 

Enter the L'Oreal Super Liner Eye Liner Ultra Precision. What a mouthful. I first discovered this about 3 years ago and it's been my go-to ever since. The felt-tip style nib makes it easy to draw on with precision, it stands the test of time and doesn't flake/smudge/disappear throughout the day and it manages to stay fairly black. For under £10, you really can't get much better. In fact saying that, for over £10 you can't get much better either.

So my logic is that if I love that Super Liner so much, surely the waterproof version has to be even better right? All of the above with the added staying power, fabulous. Except it's not. I've worn this on three occasions: once to the cinema, once whilst I filming a 'get ready with me video' which never saw the light of day and once for a trip to Nandos. Each occasion ended the same way; with massive panda eyes. Not hot. I really don't know what is wrong with this eyeliner, but I can't seem to wear it for more than one hour without it disintegrating into a slick, oily mess that can't seem to stay on the lids. 

I don't think I need to expand on my point any more, go for gold.
