March Bellabox 2015

Been a while since I did one of these isn't it. I miss doing these unboxings and I get so excited when I recieve a box. Like I seriously cannot contain myself. I looked like a kid on Christmas Morning because you don't know whats inside, and thats what counts. Excuse the messy photo I can't be bothered waiting for photoshop to open to crop it.

Make your eyes pop with these high quality, German made coloured eye pencils. I was pretty excited to see The Colour Theory in my box because I've heard of them, but haven't tried them out before and I'm pleased with the colour I was given. I was given the colour Charcoal which is a smokey grey colour and I was in need of one of these as some days I feel like not wearing black or nude liner and this is the perfect shade I need. These retail for $4.00.

This amazing lightweight formula is designed to absorb oil and provide long lasting mattification. I'm kind of over seeing Avene products in Bellaboxes to be quite honest. I mean, its a good product but I swear I used to get an Avene product in every other box. But this product I'm happy with. Its for Oily Skin - which I have so I'm keen to try it out. The 40ml bottle of this retails at $25.95.

Protect and perfect your skin with this amazing daily moisturiser! I love anything by Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula. They never cease to let me down, well not yet anyway. I'm excited to use this as I'm trying to get into moisturising my skin more as I'm slack at it. So lets see how this goes. The 150g Bottle of this product retails at $14.95.

This gentle cleanser will effortlessly remove impurities, excess oil and makeup from your complexion, while helping your skin retain its moisture balance. I cannot wait to try this product by Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula and see how well it removes my makeup. Its probably my favourite item in my box this month. The 150g bottle retails at $9.99.

This leave in nourishing cream will protect your hair and leave it feeling silky and smooth! I cannot pronounce the name of this for the life of me. But its by Loreal and its the Kerastase Paris Nutritive Nectar Thermique. Whatever that means. But its for Dry to Very Dry hair, and my mother has a very dry hair condition so I'm going to pass this along to her.

BONUS'

Revlon Photoready Airbrush Effect Foundation in Shade Natural Beige. Now I think this may be too dark for me seeing as I'm in shade Buff in my other Revlon Foundation and according to findation.com I should be in shade Shell in this range. So its a pity, but I might give it to Mum as shes darker than me. #I'mAPaleShit

Question. Why is there a fudging highlighter in a beauty subscription box? My first thoughts when I saw this was WTF. I mean like its handy and all but, I asked for Beauty Samples not Stationary Items.

March Favourites 2015

Have I ever done a favourites blog post before? I can barely remember. I think I may have done one last year but that was obviously over 6 months ago. So here are my favourites for March 2015!

Okay. I cannot get over the Choker trend. I am in LOVE with the choker trend. I own 3 or 4 already and I'm keen to get more. I wear my choker daily, and I've even accidently broken one - shows how much I love it.

The Loreal Miss Manga Mascara is simply phenomenal. I seriously love this mascara and want to try more by Loreal. It seperates my lashes and makes them look doll like just as described. Read my review here.

Mum bought me this Jag Bracelet while in Melbourne and I love the simplicity of it. Its easy to stack and pair with other bracelets and I love it so much its worn out on the inside of the band and it has rubbed against my skin from sleeping with it on.

I bought this necklace from Cotton On during their Boxing Day Sales and I think so far its my most worn necklace of 2015. Because its so simple, yet so pretty it adds character to any outfit. I'm in love with the festival/boho jewellery trend right now.

Katy Perry's Spring Reign Limited Edition Perfume has been my fragrance of the past 2 months. Even though its not Spring I simply don't care. This is like my signature scent. I'm shit at describing scents but the name speaks for itself. The smell of spring flowers and the smell of rain combined is how I would describe it. You can still buy this perfume, and it retails between $69-$79 depending on where you buy it from.

These were all my favourites for this month. I think I may have added a few more into my You Tube video which you can view right here:

What did you like this month?

Jane Gem Glamouflauge Primer Review

This primer, was one of the most unusual primers I had ever used.

I'm not sure if I liked it, or disliked it.

I guess I'm more used to using creme primers and theres just so many primers out there that I haven't used yet.

But this primer is oddly liquid-y and doesn't require a whole lot to be applied to the face.

I didn't notice any difference in whether it made my foundation last longer at all though, I thought it was just about the same.

I've got a few mixed feelings about this primer - does it actually work, does it not work. Is the consistincy meant to be like this or has it been packaged incorrectly.

What kind of primers do you like?

Benefit Hervana Blush Review

At the end of last year, I went to Melbourne, and one of the things I wanted to buy for myself, as a (late) birthday gift to myself, was a Benefit product.

As being a Tasmanian, and Living in Hobart, with a Myer that was burnt down only leaves me with a not even complete makeup selection. We have nothing compared to Melbourne. We only have a Mac, Revlon, Lancome and I think an Elizabeth Arden counter? I'm probably wrong I don't spend enough time in there. But point is, we have jack shit in Myer Makeup.

Being a newbie to the Benefit train, I wanted to buy something simple, and know that I'd like and get alot of usage out of. Therefore I chose Hervana. I swatched it and loved it straight away. Its the perfect blush for me.

A light soft angelic pink is the best way I would describe the colour, and the application. As the application isn't a heavy one.

The blush is different from all the ones I own in the sense that my other ones are more Mauve in colour and Hervana is more....pink.

I love this Blush and I do plan to buy more from Benefit.

Do you own this blush?

Essence Eyeliner Pencil Review

Before I post this I need to say, don't judge a brand by its price. Thats something I used to do, but no longer do. I feel like we all judge things on price and think that just because an item is cheap that the quality, taste, overall product is going to be a shitty one. And Essence is one of those brands.

I honestly love Essence's products that I have tried so far. I am yet to try their foundations, but I plan on doing a full face tutorial really soon.

Anywho, lets get into reviewing this product:

I have four of the Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencils. And they are all wonderful.

I have (I forgot the shade names, sorry.) Black, Silver and Bronze. They come in many different colours. I used to have more but because they are not as pigmented, I opted to throw them out.

These pencils are wonderfully creamy and pigmented. Downside is that because they wind up, they tend to break easily. They also don't last so long either. Especially on the waterline.

I give these pencils a 4/5
