GRWM

GET READY WITH ME!

Pop Of Colour!

I can't help but keep the love theme going with this Pop Of Colour make-up look as pink lips

are just my thing. Always my go to shade no matter what day, season or occasion it is! I am

just drawn to it. So recently when I received this shade in my BellaBox from Laqa & Co I was

thrilled and couldn't wait to play! I lined my lips first with one of my favourite lip liners from

ChiChi called Bimbo. A gorgeous hot pink which helped the Laqa & Co Menatour shade stay

firmly in place and really pop!

Because I felt like playing with a bit of colour, I pulled out my coloured ChiChi eye liners

which I hadn't used in quite a while. I applied both Disco Graffiti and Disco Royalty to my

top lash line over the top of my Maybelline Master Precise black liquid liner which actually looked

alright, however it doesn't seem to show up very well in photos. I don't normally apply liner to my

bottom lashes for day to day wear, however I applied both ChiChi colours and I am really happy

with the result. :) The shadows look quite natural and show up a little more understated in photos,
however the Maybelline ExpertWear eyeshadows I am wearing are actually my favourite right
now and I have been wearing this particular quad the most. If you're interested, you can watch
my make-up tutorial using four of the quads from the range here. :)

Of course (and I always say this) my make-up is nothing without a decent base.

To get this even, smooth finish I was a bit lazy and skipped on primer for no reason in particular.

I jumped right in a applied my Maybelline Better Skin Foundation with my Beauty Blender and

then went in under my eyes with the matching Maybelline Better Skin Concealer to conceal my

tired, sleep deprived eyes. Oh! And how can I forget my brows. I recently ran out of my Avon

brow pencil and have been switching between my Maybelline Brow Mascara and the one I've

used here which is actually an eye pencil by L'Oreal but both the formul and shade work

perfectly on my brows. It keeps them in place and looking groomed but still natural.

To complete my overall look, I have framed my face with my hair using my current obsession.

The VS Sasoon Evoke straightener which is this gorgeous pink which matches my lips to a tee!

The L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil does my hair so much good by calming down my fly aways,

frizz and makes my hair feel silky smooth and soft. Bottle of pure gold this stuff!

JANUARY BELLABOX

~ BELLABOX ~

JANUARY 2015!

If you missed my review on last month's Bellabox, you can read all about it here.
I signed up for a 3 month subscription through a voucher I had for iSubscribe. :)

So here is my second box! Hooray! Overall, I think I preferred last month's box.
However I'm not hating this months as it's quite good and I am already looking forward
to next months which comes with a bonus free magazine!

Downside - I am missing the turquoise blue polka dot box which last month's came in as
it is a nice book to keep to store randoms in. However this month they have skipped a nice
looking box as the post post it arrived in was the 'box'! Guess they are trying to cut costs,
perhaps so they can provide every box with a more equal share of products as I am aware of
a large number of subscribers who have been jipped and are quite fed up and I don't blame them!
I think I have been lucky with my boxes so far!

Interested in a subscription? You can sign up right here!

Laqa & Co Lip Lube in 'Menatour'
RRP: $24.95
(FULL SIZE)
I love these kinds of lip crayon type of product as they're so much fun to apply as it makes me
feel like a kid again playing with my crayons. Only on my face! ha! :)
This has a minty scent to it similar to that of the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains!
I am really happy with the colour I received. This is purple with pink undertones so it isn't too
ott purple like the straight up purple Velourlips in Tok-i-o! It actually just gives a light tint to
your lips with a minty feel.

Exclusive Bellabox Makeup Pouch
RRP: $7.95
(FULL SIZE)
This is quite compact and cute with the polka dots. I can see myself using this when I go
on weekends away. Now as I sit here looking at it, I think it is actually the perfect size
to pack the kids toothbrushes and toothpaste into! :)

Skinnymint 28 Day Ultimate Teatox
Full Size RRP: $54.90 (28 Days)
(SAMPLE) 6 DAY
I seem to see this 'Skinny Tea' stuff everywhere and to be honest it has never interested me.
However, after reading over this pack, it does seem worth trying as it is mean to do a whole
lot of good for your body. I don't need to loose weight, however an increase in energy would
be quite beneficial to me, so I will give this a go.

Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid
Full Size RRP: $33.00 (118ml)
(TRAVEL SIZE) 30ml
I am actually using a very similar exfoliant by Paula's Choice at the moment which I am
working on featuring in an upcoming post very soon. So this will have to wait it's turn.
I do like the sound of it though and it seems like the kind of product I like to use on my skin.
Contains Salicylic Acid, which always keeps my skin clear and it says it deminishes enlarged
pores and I am always trying to find ways to make my pores smaller. So looking forward to this!

Wen By Chaz Dean Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner
Full Size RRP: $34.99 (350ml)
(SAMPLE) 60ml
I have never tried a Wen product but heard they are amazing in terms of quality and results.
The packaging reminds me a bit of a scary movie or book cover. However this is no big deal
so long as I like the product itself. Sweet Almond Mint sounds like an interesting combo which
I haven't seen around a lot. I am looking forward to trying out this generous size satchet!

BONUS!
Natralus Paw Paw Pure Gel
Full Size RRP: $10.65 (75g)
(SAMPLE)
I had something recently bite me on my leg when I was hanging the washing out and it
left quite a decent size bruise! I have no idea what it was, but I was quite shocked at the bruise
it left! There have been heaps few bugs and insects around in the steamy weather lately so I am
sure I will be able to put this to some good use in no time!

What subscription boxes are you signed up with?
Let me know if you have a Bellabox unboxing post for this month!
I'd love to read it! :)

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Aussie Day long weekend!
