Bellabox January 2016


For those of you not familiar with Bellabox, it is one of the many beauty subscription box services. I have been receiving bellabox for probably over two years now. I am sure as with all subscription boxes some can be really good and some make me question if it is worth the money. If you are interested in seeing what I got in January's box then just keep reading.


1.  Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy Cream - This product claims to give intensive and long lasting hydration. It is clinically proven to protect and repair the skin's moisture barrier. I have not yet tried this all over my body but when rubbing a small amount onto my hand it was very moisturising and did not have much of at scent at all.

2. Cetaphil Facial Sunscreen SPF30 - Lately I have been trying to get into applying some sort of sunscreen to my face very morning so I was very excited to see this in this months box. I used it for the first time today and it has a very light and almost runny conistancy. It did the job though and did not make me oily throughout the day which is always a plus.

3. Monomola Long Lasting Lip Color 'Cherry Red' - This is one of those really cool lip products that are all the rage at the moment. You apply it to your lips and once it dries you can actually peel the product off and it leaves a stain on your lips. I have only tried a swatch on my hand and it stayed there for an extremely long time!

4. Dalan D'Olive Olive Oil Soap - I love to receive products like this because they always come in handy. To be honest the scent does not appeal to me but its not so bad that I won't use it.

5. Aroma Magic White Tea & Chamomile Face Wash - I have high hopes for this face wash due to the fact that it smells amazing! This is the first time I have heard of this brand and the product has micro beads for a slight exfoliation as well.

Getting back into things!

So first of all lets not ignore the fact that I have just completely neglected my blog for well over a year now. When things don't kick off as well as planned you definitely loose all motivation you had to begin with, well at least I did. Since then I have learnt a lot but one of those things were that nothing ever comes easy! I still have a huge passion for makeup and lately I have just been itching to share my passion with the world. So with that said lets give this whole 'blogging' thing another shot!


Since we have recently entered 2016 (still mind blowing to me) I figured this post would be good to share a few products that really stood out to me last year. I don't want this to be a big ramble and show you a million products that I only used a few times though. I just want to show you my staple items that I continue to repurchase and will continue to do so.




Mac Prolong wear concealer 'NW15':
I feel as though I don't need to say a lot about this product as there is so much hype around it. You either love it or hate and I absolutely LOVE it!!! The coverage is amazing, a little goes a long way and it does not crease under my eyes.

Covergirl 3in1 Foundation:
I have purchased countless bottles of this foundation and I make sure I always have two different shades. I use shade 820 for when I have a tan and shade 810 for those (sad sad) days that I do not have a tan. The coverage is flawless, the staying power is amazing and it is over all an effortless foundation.

Maybelline Falsies mascara:
Again, I have purchased this mascara countless time but that is the point of this post right?. To me this mascara compares to the ever so famous 'Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara'. The only difference is that it is literally half the price!!

Too Faced melted lipstick 'Melted Peony':
I purchased this about half way through 2015 and although this is not a repurchase I definitely plan on making it one. If you have not yet tried any of the melted liquid lipsticks, then this is the perfect first shade to try out. This is my everyday lip product as it last on the lips and is a nice pink colour.



Too Faced Sweethearts blush 'Candy Glow':
Just like the liquid lipstick this is not a repurchase....yet. Although I have used this product almost everyday for nearly a year and have not even hit pan. This is a beautiful everyday shade which slight shimmer to give the perfect fresh flushed look.


I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I am looking forward to interacting with you all.
