Bellabox September 2015 unboxing- what's in the box??


Beauty reboot! What a cute theme and a nice way to launch Spring! 

Contents: 

Jurlique mask- I have liked jut liquor for many years, their natural products smell awesome and leave the skin feelin fresh- this product was no exception. 

Moogoo Acne cleanser- I've been mostly spot free during my pregnancy- will maybe save this one for later use. 

Palmers sachet- I've used Palmers Tummy Butter Stretch mark massage cream since the day I found out I was expecting- it's been fantastic and am lucky (very lucky) to report no stretch marks to date. 


Ovulation test- ummm I'm knocked up already- so fertile- yes. Thanks for asking... 

Mmmmm coffee- who doesn't like a gritty scrub that smells like Joe!? 

Carmex lip balm- jasmine green tea scented- I have tooooooo many balms on the go- this one can wait on standby. Smells nice though!

Loreal nail polish- this is such a good size for portability/ if you get bored easily/ if your a nail polish bandit who clogs their bottles/ if you lose your stuff all the time! It's a nice moody metallic- doesn't scream spring to me but it's still a great classic for the collection. 







Lust Have it September 2015 unboxing



Lust Have It September was a real winner! I liked and will use every single item in the package- this makes the value really great as there is nothing disappointing or redundant- whoop!! 

Firstly I loved the black mesh bag this is a change from the usually hot pink bag- it was a nice surprise! Much more to my personal style/ taste. 

The second thing I loved was the UB cosmetics tint stick. (I received one in a Bellabox a little while back and didn't suit the pink shade- this one is a DELIGHTFUL plummy tone!) 

My third highlight was the DB twist and go polish remover- I just threw out an old one- this is a must try for any nail polish lover- so quick and easy to use! It really is a great little time saver! 

The other stuff: keratase shampoo and conditioner- saving these to take to hospital when the baby comes as well as a mini whiteglo toothpaste. 
There was also a decent lip liner in nude by OFRA and a tea sample. 

Lowlight: my only note would be (& this happens a bit with LHI) the cosmetic colours in the pack never seem match or  work together- but hey, not a huge deal breaker!

Bellabox June 2015 Winter Warrior

Hi Pretties,
This was a box I was looking forward to as I really like Original Source shower products. Due to the repeated Burts Bees which Ive had before from Bellabox I'd rate it a 3/5. Definitely worth the $15 paid with 3x Full Size items. Sadly the other contents are not particularly exciting but all in all make up a useful box.

BellaBox Winter Warrior box June 2015: 


The Card: 



Yum Yum Yum! Smells AMAZING! 


Quite a nice lip satain, does bleed (sad face) Ill se this n Summer when I have a tan as pinks dont look great on me when I'm fair.  

10ml of self tan wont get you far.... and Winter?- seems more 'Summer' to me...



Hand for the overnight  bag- single Model co wipe (again had before in Bellabox- they're actually not bad with one exfoliating side, but I wouldn't purchase them) 


Rinse and repeat- another Burts Bees lip balm- these do have a nice minty scent/taste and are clear. Ive just nowhere near finished the last one.



Sachets of Shampoo and Conditioner- also handy for that single night away...

Bellabox May 2015 Sugar Fix quick pics!

This month's Bellabox May 2015 was SUGAR FIX

Contents 







Top Pick: this month had to be the contour pencil- just for something different that you may not have or tried. Quite effective.

Lowlight: The tanner smelt relly good and was a nice texture but not enough for a single body application which was a bit of a let down.



Bellabox April 2015 Mindful Beauty quick peek!


hey Pretties! 

Heres a few quick shots of the BellaBox April 2015 Mindful Beauty Box! I'm finding that lots of people just want to see what was in it, not read all about it? let me know!? 
in the meantime will try to be short and sweet with the box reveals! 





Contents: 


My Fave Picks were the lip balm (smelt delish!) the wipes- really beautiful quality & the Thankyou santise- because they are all round amazing!

I must admit I'm cautious to use the eye mask because I cant read the label...

All in all decent but not WOW.

Lust Have It double review month on month July and August 2015


Hey Pretties- I received these packs pretty close together and I'm not sure what months they are- I've lost track! This year Lust Have It skipped a month and the usually run a teeny bit behind schedule so it's not always easy to know. I believe these are July & August 2015.
Every now and then I like to do a double box reveal so you can see what consistency is like and gives you an idea of if you subscribed what concurrent boxes may be like. Sometimes one off reviews are good but this just shows a different perspective! Let me know what you think!? 

Box 1 (July) 



The contents: 



Swatches: 




I was really happy with this box! 4x full size products, a deluxe sample and a shampoo and conditioner sachet. 
Very good value! 

- Bombshell 'the one' stick: a multipurpose stick for lips and cheeks

- Bombshell lipgloss (tericotta shade) 

- Hikari eyeshadow quad 

(I wish the colors worked together but they don't- that would be a better way for LHI to send them but you can't use any of this at the same time) 

- Paula's choice wrinkle repair serum
- Racinne Aqua Blanc cream 
- Garner shampoo & conditioner sachet


Box 2 (August)



The contents: 


This was a really excellent box in terms of value and use! EVERY product is full size! 

-red carpet color: body glow (full size) 
-mellow cosmetics mineral twist eyeliner ( full size) 
-ulta 3 volume and length mascara (full size) 
- reed orange and poppy seed scrub (full size) 
- mellow cosmetics mineral eyeshadow (full size) 

My fave picks are the body lotion and the eyeliner. 
The lotion is luminous and hides imperfections and provides good coverage.

The liner DOES NOT BUDGE! It stays sharp and clean- really impressive! 

Obviously nothing bad about this box whatsoever!

So what do you think? Month on month consistently great value, full size products, and a good mix between skincare and cosmetics.
