Why I unsubscribed from Bella Box

Hey Beauties,

So. Bellabox has given me enough shit, lets just start with that.

And this month, I had just had enough.

Boxes haven't been sent out and from what I've seen, this months box is complete crap.

I am getting this month box still, as mine is still in the shipping process, but I will not be reviewing it as I'm just overall not happy with whats inside of it and I'd rather do a rant post instead.

Today, I logged onto instagram to find hundreds of raging girls going mad because they haven't got their box.

And, I've been pissed off the last week so I decided to join in and go off myself.

Last week, on the 18th, I sent them an email asking where it was, I was told it should be gone out by the 23rd, which I didn't mind, but still wasn't that happy because it was too late.

Today, I sent them a long email. I'm talking 6 paragraph long email. Saying how as a beauty blogger I am unimpressed with their services, communication and box wise, and that its very dissapointing.

After that, I got an email from Sarah, CEO of BB saying sorry and giving everyone 100 points ($10) Store credit. Now, when I go through shit with companies, I expect to get more than a voucher. On their site you can't buy much with $10 at all. I'd expect them to say "we apologize, and for this we will give you a free....."

I've got into similar problems like this with them in the past, but not to this extreme.

Thats one reason why I am leaving.

The other reason is that the boxes seem to be getting repetitive. They are giving out samples of products they have given out before. Every second box I seem to get a sample of BB cream. I have over 15 sachets of it.

Thats the other reason why.

I joined up expecting to try something new. Things from a brand I have never heard of. All the things they share are from Avene, Bioderma, Dermalogica, and common hair brands.

Since joining Lust Have It! the 2 boxes I have got I haven't heard of any of the products inside, and I feel like they are more worth the money than BB, cause I feel like with BB I'm paying for the cost of the fucking cardboard box and getting a shitload of samples inside.

So yeah. Thats my rant.

Thinking of joining up to another box, don't know who though.

Review: Palmer's Cocoa Butter; Massage Lotion for Stretchmarks.

Hey Beauties,

So. Ever since I began turning into a teen, I got stretchmarks.

It never really phased me until this year when I was on a med that I had a major reaction to, and I got stretchmarks almost everywhere. Including my breasts, from my shoulders, to elbow on each arm, my waist all over my butt, down my thighs, all the way past my knee. I hate it that much that I have pretty much changed my entire wardrobe to covered clothes.

Due to this I lost a whole lot of confidence. I began to use some Bio Oil. And I finished an entire bottle of that, and noticed 0 results. I was very annoyed by this seeing as Bio Oil is a very raved about product and I was expecting to see some results. Mum then gave me some of this Stretchmark lotion by Palmer's Cocoa Butter. And my God. I haven't looked back.

Not only does this product smell fan-fucking-tastic, I have noticed a difference. My marks are slowly, beginning to fade. And I'm beginning to get some confidence back. It probably too around 3 months to start noticing major results, but since using the first bottle I have bought another one. Then not long after buying that bottle, I was contacted by Palmer's to try a bunch of their products, so I have a ton of things to review for you all.

If you want to see a photo of my stretchmarks, check out my instagram where I have posted an image of them. (I have been inactive there due to personal reasons)

I would 100% reccomend this to anyone.

I wasn't paid to review this, though, I have been sent products by the company to try for free. Product shown in image above was bought with my own money.

Review: Jordana Best Lash Extreme

Hey Beauties,

So I bought this a while ago off Beauty Joint after Lauren Curtis raving about it all the time and I was like "Heck. Lets try it" so I did. And I'm quite mutual with it.

I think its mainly because I'm not applying it properly and I have good and bad days at applying it. Because some days when I apply it, it just clumps up to this horrible clumpy, spidery lash mess and it looks horrible and I just sit there at my dressing table like "Fuck. My. Life" and rage - not really but it pisses me off. Kinda like when you get one eye correct with eyeliner then you do the other one and its just off scale.

I find that the brush packs on a lot of the product, so before applying you have to scrape it all off.

I don't know if this has just happened because of the shipping over to me or what. But I'm still learning how to apply it.

Apart from when I have bad days with this, on the good days, my eyelashes look longer than they already are. I have naturally long thick lashes, so I only really go for volumizing mascara. Theres no mascara I choose specifically that I like. But the Covergirl Flamed Up mascara is still in my top 5. This mascara is hitting number 6. Would be in the top 5 if I learned to use it better. I just need to warm up to it.

Would you guys like to see a top 5 mascara post?

Keep Smiling
