BELLABOX AND VOGUE

BELLABOX VOGUE

LIMITED EDITION BOX

UNBOXING!

http://www.bellabox.com.au

Aren't subscription boxes just the funnest? If I could sign up to every single one I probably would!

I can't get enough of that anticipation and surprise when one arrives in the mail. I LOVE no knowing

exactly what might be inside and having all the new products to try is me in my element.

I have reviewed quite a number of different boxes in the past including a few Bellabox's and I just

love when they release their limited edition boxes because you always get so much more in them.

You can pick up this box which has Bellabox teaming up with Vogue to produce an awesome choice

of skincare, haircare and makeup valued at $115 for only $49.95!

Get yours for a very limited time right here!

Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist (Full Size)

I have previously used and reviewed the Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum and loved it,

actually I have also used a hand cream of theirs and remember that being completely gorgeous as

well and since I have heard so much of this product ever since it came out a few years ago I cannot

tell you just how excited I am to finally own my own little bottle and to be able to use this on the

regular! Yay!

Guerlin Abeille Royal Honey Nectar Lotion (Deluxe Sample Size)

Interesting to discover this brand has been around since 1828! I have never heard of it!

Meant to be both soothing, moisturising and repairing to the skin. I love any skincare product

which contains honey, so most likely I am going to love this one!

Benefit Cosmetics Porefessional Face Primer (Sample)

I have never owned the full size of this product, however have tried a few of these samples in the

past and quite liked them. The product is smooth and gives a nice matte finished. Once I run out of

primers I would definitely be purchasing this.

Chella Highlighter Pencil (Full Size)

I actually already own this product, having received it in another box some time ago!

This is a product I don't believe gets enough praise as it really is lovely. The shade is just right and

you can easily build up the amount of highlight you are looking to achieve. It is firm but not hard

and doesn't dry out or become too soft to use.

Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-Ageing Antioxidant Infusion Essence (Deluxe Sample Size)

Here is a super luxe product I am drying to soak my skin into! Elizabeth Arden is well known in

having an exceptional reputation when it comes to anti-ageing skincare. This puppy retails at full

size for $96.00 so this is definitely a special treat for me.

Bobby Brown Smokey Eye Mascara (Deluxe Sample Size)

What an absolute treat to receive this Bobby Brown mascara! Such a popular high end brand which I

adore. I am very much looking forward to using this mascara as from what I can tell it looks like a nice neat formula and basic, non complicated brush.

Clinique Smart Custom Repair Serum (Deluxe Sample Size)

When it comes to skin repair, I feel like skin being the body's largest organ can always do with some

kind of targeted repair. Weather it be from sun damage, acne scaring, wrinkles and fine lines to dark

spots, dehydration and sagging. This product is great for all of these things. I cannot wait to get into

this. Slowing down that ticking clock, that's the goal!

Neon & Co Hair Treatment Oil (Deluxe Sample Size)

Creates shine & eliminates frizz? Yes please! My hair is lacking shine and as frizzy as ever with

the amount of hair dying I have been putting it through lately! Treatment oils are my hair's best

friend right now. I own so many hair leave in moisturisers which are great, however in my

recent experience I have been love hair oils and finding them to work a little better for me in

regards to taming the frizz and putting the moisture back in especially.

What are your thoughts on this Limited Edition box?

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!
