Christmas Haul: Nail Polishes

Hey Beauties,

Its time to share with you all what I got for Christmas this year!

Please note that I did get spoilt this year and I did not expect it. My Nan went over board with the gifts (God Bless her). I am in no way at all bragging about what I got, I am purely just sharing with you all my gifts as I would like to see others posts too.

Starting off with the nail polishes, I got quite a fair few this year and I'm going to stop myself from buying anymore cause I honestly don't need anymore.

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.

Are you subscribed to a beauty box?

Keep smiling.

Chi Chi Nudes Palette Review

Hey Everyone

On days when I just don't know what to wear, I just reach for my handy, dandy Chi Chi Nudes Palette. This palette is simply amazing. It is a 12 eyeshadow palette with everything for an amazing simple or dramatic look. I'd say in my own opinion it is a great Australian dupe for Urban Decay's Naked Palette. It basically has the eyeshadows from that palette in it so it is easily comparable. It's got everything for your day look, and even for a dramatic night look.

The eyeshadows are really pigmented and are not chalky at all. As this was my first purchase by Chi Chi, I was a tad hesitant with it, I thought it wasn't going to be good at all and I was expecting it to be very low quality etc. But since I've purchased this palette, I've been sucked into the Chi Chi curse. There is so much I want to try/buy from Chi Chi now, and I'm always entering their contests to possibly have some of their goodies!

A few other things I'd love from Chi Chi (Just a small list) is Status Lipstick, Classic Palette, Wrapped Around My Pinkie Lipstick and Pink Peach Blush.

What I've decided to do today is to do my first tutorial using this palette. I have created a day time and night time look because thats how wearable this palette is. Just a warning before I start - I know my eyebrows aren't filled. I don't fill them in because they are naturally thick and I've tried to wear them filled before but it just doesn't suit me. And I haven't got my entire face made in this either I only worked on my eyes then took it off because I didn't see the point of putting make-up on my entire face just to take it straight off.

For the day look I started off by using a primer, you don't really need to for the Chi Chi eyeshadows though as they are pigmented on their own. I then added shade #3 all over my lid, following with shade #5 to my crease and into my outer v. Finally finishing off with layering shade #4 over #5 for that extra shine.

For the night look, I have primed my eyes and added shade #8 all over my lid then I added #10 into the crease. You can leave it at this but for a bit more definition you can add #11 into the crease and outer v.

And both looks are complete.


So thats it for this post guys.

I certainly do recommend this palette so go get it!

Until next post, Keep smiling.
