Bellabox: May Unboxing

Hey Beauties,

So this month I feel as if the Bellabox team stepped it up just a little bit. They still have a long way to go to meet my subscription standards, but, I was pretty happy with the outcome of this box.

Miracle Rejuvination Mask - Yup I mispelled a word. But I'm too lazy to fix that so lets ignore that. But I'm not going to use this. Its for dry irratable (another spelling mistake. Lazy Brontie is Lazy) skin, and I have oily skin, which has been pretty good lately, I've hardly been breaking out. (Ooooh I should do a skin routine post.) and its a sheet mask. And these don't....these scare me. I don't know why, but it does. But my Mum is keen to use this so.

The same bar of soap I got in Lust Have It! Not going to go into detail as I did in the previous post. So. Go check that out.

The good ol' Chapstick. My best friend has been raving about buying a new one recently, so I'm going to give this to her for her birthday (along with other things. Gee, I'm not that rude.)

wen. This stuff is pretty cool. Mum used to be subscribed to them, but no longer is. It is basically a conditioner shampoo? So its really thick, and you layer your hair with it, let it soak in for about 5 minutes, then rinse it out. And it smells lovely too. Don't know when I'd use this as we have tons of it at home so.

Invisible Zinc. Eh. Its Zinc. Its good. (Kinda. I live near the Zinc works and the shit stinks) so its always good to have some lying around.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel. I was so excited for this. I'd never expect a product by her to be in a box. Ever. Let alone BB. So I was just all like 'weeeee' when I got it.

Thats all I got. I was mainly excited for the brow gel. But the box was pretty good. I am SO over samples though, good lord. I need to start using them.

Priceline Haul!

Hey Beauties,

So as soon as Mum brought the mail in the other week, and I laid my eyes on the Priceline catelauge to only find out they were having a 'Spend $60 Get a Free Bag of Goodies worth over $120 (or something) Deal' I couldn't resist.

Now, I'm not going to show what came in the bag, just because this post would be too image heavy and I don't want it to be, instead, I'm going to link you over to the glorious Jasmine from Sweetaholic Beauty's blog post about what the bag contains. Just click riiiight here.

My opinion on the bag - Eh. Wasn't that pleased with it. The foundation and BB Cream are way too dark for me. The lashes I won't use. Most of them I'm just going to use in a giveaway or end up selling because I just won't use it. It was pretty dissapointing to be honest.

But, here's what I got. Now I'm not sure of the prices of these, but it did end up a bit over $60.

First off, I had to grab some of my ultimate favourite makeup remover wipes by Neutrogena. I believe these were $2 off the original price or around about that anyway. And I needed some, because I don't like using my Wot Not ones, because they are too good and I cherish them too much to even touch. Second of all, I really needed concealer, and I've decided that, seeing as Concealer is something I cannot live without, I may as well just start stocking up. So I picked up the Australis Go Camo Heavy Duty Concealer which for some reason reminds me of the Hard Candy Glamoflauge (?) Concealer. Which I'd love to try. But. World problems. And then I picked up the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer Because I had heard some things about it and I wanted to try it out. Both concealers are in the lightest shade.

Also from the Maybelline section, they finally had the Colour Tattoo in Tough as Taupe available, and EVERY time I go to get it, it's sold out. And I was so lucky because it was the last one left too. Still trying to figure out how to use this one as its a bit more of a...I don't know, a warmer neutral? Than a darker one, which is what I normally go for. Might do a post on looks I have made up using this though. Swatches below

Finally I picked up a lipstick I have had my heart set on for a while, and I don't know why I didn't buy it before because I simply love this colour. This is Australis Lip Inject Lipstick in Grunge. When I first saw the colour in the tube (doesn't show up on camera) I was like "Ew this shit is gross, what the hell Australis" Because its actually a brown colour. But when swatched, its a gorgeous maroony purple. And I love these shades for winter/autumn.

Swatches of Tough as Taupe and Grunge.

I think my order may have come below, I don't know. But Mum and I both paid (well she paid, I didn't hehe) for our items together, and the lovely lady allowed us to buy 2 bags because we spent almost $200 in store #guiltyascharged.

But, yeah, thats what I got from Priceline. I wasnt really after that much, and I would've bought Essence stuff if this Priceline stocked Essence, but the one we went to was connected to a Doctors Surgery so it was a Priceline Pharmacy.

I think the bag deal has ended now? Correct me if I'm wrong?

But yeah. I'm gonna go and film a video now so I can upload it tomorrow :3

Keep Smiling!

Lust Have It April Review

Hey Beautys,

Yes, I am back. I've been slack with everything recently and I need to get back into the swing of things.

I've got a few blog posts planned and that I need to prepare such as Lorde's Mac Collection - How to get her look (from the shoot) using DRUGSTORE products (can i hear a hell yeah!?....no.....otay.....) and I have a winter lookbook too. When the Tassie weather decides to be nice - which it was yesterday but I had a lot to do.

ANYWAY.

I....Am now affiliated with Lust Have It. Which to be honest, is pretty freaking amazing. I love LHI, I always have. I wanted to sign up to them instead of bellabox but BB just seemed to be more in my price range.

So each month, the lovely staff from LHI will be sending me a box to review, and for you guys, they have something awesome for you too.

When you sign up for LHI, you can use my code 'xobrontie' and when you do so, you will get......wait for it..

$5 OFF YOUR FIRST BOX

Uhm, hello. Amazing right? LHI retails at $19.95 per month and comes with 5-6 beauty samples along with a full size item. They work with amazing brands such as Benefit (Love me some Benefit), Babor, Aveda, Molton Brown London and Rachel K just to name a few.

LETS GET INTO WHATS IN MY BOX!!
Squeeeeee I'm so excite!

I love the way the items were packed in this bag, and not in a box. It actually will be re-usable, not saying that BB's aren't I use them quite often, but, I can see me doing a lot with the bags. I don't know if this is a regular thing, but its quite cute. The bag says in pink writing 'Lustre Beauty'....whatever that means :/

The first full size item in the bag was Jane Gem 'Glamourflage' Face Primer. Now. I don't own -any- face primers. Apart from the Loreal Magique sample which is just about empty. So this was amazing to see. I haven't heard or seen this brand before, but the packaging reminds me a lot of The Balm. I love the cute little bottle the primer is in, and even the box is cute. Its a real sturdy box and not flimsy, so I'm debating on keeping it. This full size item retails at $22.95 and is available through the Glamourflage website.

The next full size item was Claytime 100% Pure Mineral Bronzer. Upon looking at this bronzer, I realized it is a limited edition bronzer. So I don't know if it was made for LHI or what. But I love the shade. I don't own any bronzer as I'm pale as all hell and I don't want to use a bronzer that makes me look like I have a shit tan on my face, so I think I will be using this bronzer. As you can see on my hand, it goes nicely with my skin tone. This full size item retails at $29.95 and can be bought through the LHI website.

Next was a Bioderma Atoderm Cream. I have sooooo many Bioderma samples to go through so I was just like "Eh." when I pulled it out. I'm a bit tired of seeing Bioderma in my boxes. Not saying Bioderma is crap, they are great. I just have enough samples of it as it is. I don't know if I will personally use this as it is for dry, to very dry skin. And my skin combination is oily. Soooo. I don't know. I may use this as an after the shower moisturiser?

Hell to the yes. Another packet of my ultimate favourite wipes. I'm a HUGE fan of the Wot Not Facial Wipes and I wish they were available in Priceline or somewhere. But. There is a deal going on with a code (NOT SHARING HEHE) where you can get 3 packs of the wipes and get the 3rd free. So. I'm going to take advantage of that because these are my favourite ever.

The final sample in my....er, bag? Was a sample of the Aveeno Daily Moisturizer Lotion. I'm going to use this for sure. Probably not right away as I have a ton of moisturizers to get through currently, but I will use this.

So. Thats what I got in my bag. I love it. I am going to use it all.

I have to say I do prefer Lust Have It over Bellabox. But I won't be unsubscribing to bellabox, because my mother is still happy to pay for it monthly (it was a birthday present) and we both kinda share the products inside. But BB. You need to step up your game!

Don't forget to use my code when you sign up to LHI to get $5 off your first box! 'xobrontie'

**This box was sent to me by the company to review. I am not being paid to say this, it is all my 100% honest opinions. You should all know by now that I'm too blunt!**

I'll see you all tomorrow with a collection post!
