Bellabox February Unboxing

Hey Beauties,

Today you'll all be very lucky as you will be getting 2 posts from me today!

I intended on posting this last night, but as me and the winner of my contest are meeting up and attending a VIP Mini Makeover Session at our local Priceline, following up with me going to her house so she can do my nails, I had to pamper myself last night. (Bath. Shave. Exfoliate. All that good stuff)

So tonight I will have a follow up post of todays session with her.

But yesterday, while I was in Hungry Jacks (Burger King to all you American's) I got an email saying my Bellabox had just arrived on my doorstep. And I was very excited because I didn't actually know what was in this months box.

 This month's bellabox theme was hollywood/red carpet. And I don't know about everyone else, but I think everything in this box really catered to the theme.

She Aromatherapy - Instant Vitility Day Cream: This cream says its made for anti-ageing purposes. So I'm not sure if I will use this. I may in the future, but for now I'm happy with the face cream I'm currently using which I will be doing a review on....as soon as I find out where the hell mum put it. *stares at mum*

Aveda - Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener: I will be getting no use out of this at all, as its made to help straight hair appear more straight (correct me if I'm wrong) and I have wavy hair so thats no help really.

Bioderma - Pore Refiner: Everyone else may be sick of Bioderma being in BB but I'm not. I love their products and they all work effectively on me. This one in particular I am excited to use, as I have a lot of pores. So I think I'll review this one.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula - Gentle Exfoliating Facial Scrub: I used this last night, and oh boy this was amazing. I will certainly be doing a review on this. And as you can guess, just like all the other Palmer's products, this one smells sooo good!

She Aromatherapy Lipstick - Grace: The cost of this lipstick is $14.95, and honestly, if this was another colour I'd be mad. But this shade is perfect. Its exactly what I wear. And the smell of this lipstick is glorious. Its so musky.

Sample - Swisspers - Aloe Facial Moisturiser: I haven't used this yet. But I have more things from the Aloe range including the eye makeup remover. I might do an overall review on what I have from the collection.

Overall, I am happy with this months Bellabox. I will be getting alot of use out of most of these products, and I'm excited to play with them all.

Till Later on tonight, have a great day!

Keep Smiling,

November Bellabox

Hey Beauties,

Today I recieved my November bellabox, and although it did arrive later than usual, the team emailed us apologising and promising that they'd make up for it. And I think they certainly did make up for it as I am very happy with my box.

The first thing I came across in my box was actually packaged separately from the other things as it was too big to fit into the new BB...err...package (Its not a box anymore). But this is the Simple Kind To Eyes Makeup Corrector Pen. This says its a 'new' product and I've never seen this before. But I reckon I will get good use out of it for those days when my eyeliner goes nuts.

Nutri-Synergy NS-5 Hand Cream was the next product. As I stated in my favorites post I'm trying to use hand creams more often. And I love this hand cream. A little goes a long way with it. It doesn't have a scent but that doesn't bother me.

John Plunkett Cosmeceuticals Glyco Peel wow what a mouth full! This is basically a night time exfoliator and it says to use a little bit each night before moisterising. I can't wait to use this as I love exfoliators.

B.Liv By Cellnique Glow and Shine One thing you may not know about me, is that I love face masks, so I will certainly be using this.

!Bonus! Compeed Blister Patches I have no idea when I will use these, but its good to have a pair of these just in case.

I saved the best for last. This month, bellabox launched their makeup line. Starting with their very own Pout Pencils. These are HIGHLY pigmented and are very moisterising. I got the shade Nuuude, which as you may have guessed, is a nude. You can buy these off the bellabox website for $14.99

This box was certainly worth the wait in my opinion, I'm going to get alot of use out of everything which is great.

October Bellabox

Hey Beautys,

Today is a review on the items I got in my Bellabox for October.

This month was BB's second birthday so we were meant to get some amazing items in our box.

If I had to be honest. I hated my box. I will only be using 3 things out of the entire box, the rest goes to donation. It wasn't worth $15, let alone $5. Let me get into why....

Alfaparf Semi Di Lino Diamond Shampoo and Conditioner - Okay so its shampoo and conditioner right? What I dislike is that it is for Normal hair. My hair is no where near Normal. I have an extremely itchy and dry scalp thats flaky all year round. So this is no use for me and I'll be using as a 'If needed' backup. So I really disliked this.

Jacqueline Burchell Nail Laquer Duo - These shades, Call Me Sexy and PHD In Retail are gorgeous. Call Me Sexy is a golden polish with red sequins in it, I imagine it looking amazing over a black nail polish, and PHD in Retail is a hot chocolate sequiny textured brown. Its hard to describe. These I both loved, and they are the perfect size.

Sample of Maybelline's Dream Pure BB Cream - I recieved a full size of this 2 months ago from BB. And I haven't used it yet. So to me this 'extra' was a bit of a 'Oh we have some spares lets get rid of them' kind of thing. And the writing, is in another language too. So i dont know whats up with that.

Loccitane Shea Butter Hand Cream - This hand cream is for dry skin, I don't have dry skin, my mother does, and I don't use hand cream - rarely.

Sample of Beyonce's Heat - I smelt this, and I'm not a fan of the smell. To me perfumes shouldn't be in beauty boxes because everyone likes the smell of different things.

Bioderma Sebium Exfoliating Gel - I will certainly be using this. I love anything like this so I can't wait to try this out.

So thats it for this very opinionated post.

Hope you enjoyed.

Bellabox September

Hey Everyone

 

 

 It finally arrived! My September Bellabox. I've been waiting for the past week for it to arrive because I knew it was going to be fabulous, and guess what, I was right!

This box came with so many goodies that I will be certainly using, as well as a bonus gift. 

Before I get into the review. I want to state that Bellabox and the following brands are Not paying me to review them. This is my honest opinions, always have been, always will be. I paid for these product with my own money. The total of a Bellabox subscription is $15 a month with free shipping.

First of all is the face mask. This face mask is the Montagne Jeunsse Blemish Mud Masque. I recieved the sample pack which is 5g. The full size which is 10g is only $3.99 at Priceline, Big W, Target and selected pharmacys. I have another product by this brand, but as of this stage, I have not tried it. But I will be soon as I was just thinking a few days ago, I wanted to use a mud mask. Also, is it me or is the woman on the packaging just scary! And another thing, please excuse my nails!!

 The Elegant Touch Envy Wraps are seriously amazing. I'm going out with friends this week and I am considering using these, but I already had my outfit planned so now I'm confused as to what to do. I will be doing a post on my evening look that night anyway, so we shall soon see. But these nails stickers are a full size pack, costing $8.99 at Priceline, the design is so elegant. It has yellow, purple, green and pink polka dots with a tiny diamante on each....er...nail? I love anything to do with nails so these will certainly come in handy.

Of course, every girl needs a razor. This is the Schick Hydro Silk Razor, and as you can see from the picture it is 1 razor and cartridge. This would originally cost $9.99. I am just about finished with my other razor blades so this is perfect for me to replace my old one with.
 

Manicare's Glam Eyes False Eyelashes are what I was most excited about. The packet is normally worth $11.95 and I would never buy false eyelashes for that price. I have never used false eyelashes in my life, but this Thursday I am keen to try them....it will probably include failing as well. The eyelashes are 'Kelly' style and they cross over each other. Perfect amount of flare. So excited for these

Footcare Gel Ball of Foot Cushions. Now these will come in handy for me, at some point. I rarely ever wear heels, and when I do, i need something like these. This is worth $8.99

Now I don't tan, when I tan I become an orange. This is because I am extremely pale. This product is Garnier's Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Spray. This is the full size bottle and costs $14.95. I won't be using this, however, my mother is very excited to.

ASAP is a brand I have never heard of before. But they must be good if they are expensive. This is an eyeliner in the shade brown. It retails at $20.00 and that just suprises me. I will certainly be using this.

As a bonus gift this month, all subscribers were sent the newest issue of Cleo Magazine. I haven't read it yet, but I am really looking forward to it. The issue has Emma Watson on the cover and has some samples of Revlon's Nearly Naked Foundation on the inside which I can't wait to try. The magazine is worth $6.95

When you add all the prices up, this box has a total of $81.82 products. This is the best Bellabox I have received as of yet. I cannot wait to use all the products and read the magazine.

Thats it for this post. Keep an eye out for my next one which is a review on the Chi Chi Nudes Palette.

Until then, Keep smiling.
