"Bellabox" March 2012 edition

After picking up ILoveThisBox from my post office I found Bellabox sitting in my letterbox. They have changed the packaging and now it comes in a pouch.

Bellabox had five samples (plus a treat), two of them were full size. It also had Autumn theme.


Yes to Carrots Lip tint, 2.6g RRP$9.95
Mine is very nice warm nude shade. It has minty scent and supposed to be made from all natural ingredients.
 U Little Beauty Natural Repair Hair Masque 100ml, RRP$19.95
I was supposed to get shine serum but got mask instead which I actually prefer. It has very beautiful rose scent and to me it is a star product of this box. It is a protein treatment and I actually need one.
Pure Fiji Coconut Hydrating Body Lotion, ?15ml ~value$1.30
I've heard a lot of good things about their products but never tested them. This body lotion has very summery coconut scent (IMO it would suit summer pack better). It felt nice on my skin but not extraordinary. The scent is quite strong but it settles down after few minutes.
Bellamer Eye Balm, ?5g, value $13
I detect some peppermint scent therefore I am hesitant to use it around my eyes. I never heard of this brand before and the sample looks very home made. Plus it is way too rich to be used around eyes. I also prefer to know the ingredients before I apply something on such a delicate area (none are listed). I might use it to soothe dry skin on my feel or hands instead.
Eyelift, 3 mini pots, value $6
It suppose to erase wrinkles and bags around your eyes for upto 10 hours. I have neither so I won't use this product. I like how it comes in small blister pack with mini spatula.


As a treat I got Carman's Classic Fruit and Nut Round biscuit. It had OK taste, I would buy it if it was actually healthy. One small serve had a whopping 171 calories and it had 22g of sugar per 100g of product. It a pass for me...
This pack has estimated value of $50, however I highly doubt that home made Bellamer eye balm is worth $40. I must say I am a bit disappointed with Bellabox this month. They used to be so good :(

    The Pure Fiji moisturisers are great. I purchased a few when I was in Fiji a few months ago. Wish I bought some more now. The lip balm and hair masque look interesting.

Buyers Beware - Fake OPI nail polish!

Image
Fake anything especially make-up makes me very angry! Yesterday I was browsing Ebay because I wanted to get some OPI nail polishes and came across few clearly fake ones. I got few OPIs from Ebay and never had an issue. Mine came from US sellers who charged US retail prices for their polishes. They sold lots and lots of them and seemed to specialize in nail products. Yesterday I came across few lots of "OPI" nail polishes. I saw fair dew lots from sellers who don't particularly specialize in nail products. They were "factory seconds" and were missing a label. The shades were very random and I never saw those shades in OPI collections. However I know that some counterfeit OPIs will have a lable with colour name on it. I was fortunate enough and never got a fake OPI nail polish . So I will show you what a REAL one looks like. 1. The front of the bottle Note the writing. There are some variations between old and new editions of OPI but the writing at t

I had my Tragus pierced today!

Image
It is something I wanted to do for few week now. I always liked the look of multiple earrings and even pierced a second hole in my ear when I was 11 (which then I took out and it eventually healed). Tragus piercing to me looked very appealing but painful. However after speaking to few people who had it done I realised it doesn't seem to be as bad. Today I summoned my courage and called Cosmetics Plus at Carindale. They told me to come in as Fridays are usually not very busy. I've applied plenty of EMLA numbing cream on the area 30 min before (however I was told it is best to apply it 45 to 60 min prior). The whole process took 10 minutes and set me back $35 including the earring.     The girl who did my piercing was very nice and friendly. She first marked the spot with a marker pen and asked if I was happy with the placement, I've decided that I wanted it a bit lower hence why you can see a bit of ink residue above the piercing. Then she disinfected the area and a

Happy Birthday Barbie!

Image
Barbie turned 53 today! She changed a lot in 53 years and I must say she got better with age In 1959 she looked like this: Beautiful, pale and stylish In 1960's Barbie was quite conservative and traditional as a Nurse and French Fashionista In 1970's iconic Malibu Barbie emerged. In my opinion she started the whole "Barbie" trend - tanned skin, blonde hair and long legs. She also came with a BF Ken and camper van Barbie industry was going strong in 80's. She appeared in vast range of outfist and collections From sweet Peaches n Cream To Over-The-Top Rocker Barbie and Holiday Barbies I grew up in 90's. I remember my best friend's sister brought this one home from Italy in 1991 It was in the former Soviet State and Barbies were very rare and highly prized so to me it was the most beautiful thing ever. Totally Hair Barbie and Teresa were very popular This add used to mesmerise me, it was played during Disney series as well as Hollyw
