February 2015 Bellabox - Harper's Bazaar Edition! Unboxing & Review

Hi everyone!

Here's my Bellabox for this month!



Yup, it's the Harper's Bazaar edition - there were three magazines you could have received this month, and to be honest I was hoping for Cosmopolitan (I think Cosmo is honestly so hilarious!)... But Bazaar is cool too :) There's a lot of pages that would look good on my magazine page wall so hooray :)



Here's the information card with the value of each item!

A lot of samples I won't go near but that's alright - I get a shiny magazine and an Essie nail polish!

Mine is in "Take It Outside" and it is a gorgeous grey colour!

Sorry my application is quite messy - I think that the polish still looks quite nice despite me uncoordinatedness which really says something about the polish!

It was really easy to apply, the formula is nice and thick, the brush covers an entire nail with one swipe and it dries reasonably quickly :)

The Essie polish really does live up to the hype!

For my first impressions and unboxing, please check out the video below!






I hope you all have a fantastic day!

xoxo

February Style Box by Style Story - Spoilers, Unboxing and Review!

Hi everyone!

In light of the Memepocalypse, I decided to try a new subscription box: "Style Box" by Style Story. You can see their website here if you are interested. They currently only ship to Australia!

I got the basic box - there are two types, the basic box for $24 and the deluxe style box for $40 a month (including shipping and taxes - which is why the prices on the site are a bit cheaper.)

The basic box promises "6 different Korean beauty products in a combination of full sized, mini sized and sample sizes delivered straight to your door."



As always, my first impressions video :P For those who prefer to read though...




This is the cardboard box that the products came in. It's quite disappointing because honestly, even Bellabox and LustHaveIt which are $15 subscription boxes can have nice boxes! I know this company is just starting up but honestly the nice boxes really make a subscription box for me personally, and I know it's like this for a lot of people.

Having said that, of course the products are the most important thing, so let's have a look inside...



The first half of the info card. All these three items came in small sample sachets.

I have to mention that info paper is more accurate. This is literally just a piece of paper with this stuff printed on it. Not much production value going on here :P



The second half of the card. These were the "full size products", but it's a mask and a nail polish... The lip product is kind of exciting but these products only add together to make $25.50. (I paid $24 for the box!)



As you can see, for $24 this is extremely underwhelming and I am going to unsubscribe.

Although I'll use everything in the box, I can definitely go on a site like TesterKorea and make myself a haul much more worthwhile with the money.

I know this is a new company so they are still trying to find their feet, but I think this box is only appropriate for the Australians who really don't know what they want in kbeauty and want to try new products... In a very cost-inefficient manner, because they can just order these mini samples themselves randomly :P

I really wanted to like this box but I just didn't, sorry!

In summary, this box isn't particularly good value and I personally would not recommend buying it. It's not like it's TERRIBLE or anything, just underwhelming and personally I would rather spend my money on a lot MORE random samples and sachets with the same amount of money. I think this is their first month so I hope that they can take feedback and improve and I can eventually resubscribe and eat my words!

If for some reason you decide you'd like to subscribe, then here is their website again.

Until next time, adios amigos!

Memebox Global #18 + Collaboration Box #3 Memebox X Coffee Break With Dani

Memebox Global #18









That Dermalift stuff is seriously amazing!

I don't personally have dry skin but the value is definitely there and it really feels nice on the skin! Tested it on someone else's dry skin for you guys, heh :P 3 sample bottles basically makes a full size worth of product to be $42 worth! This product is really popular amongst the meme-girls and is reason enough to buy any restocks of this box.




Collaboration Box #3 Memebox X Coffee Break With Dani





My all time favourite collaboration box!







This box is from the golden memebox days! So much value! Everything in this box is amazing and aaaaa I just love this box so much omnomnomonom~~~

Memebox Christmas Collection!

Hello everybunny!

Today I have for you guys a very belated post about the series of Christmas boxes I received in January!




Memebox Christmas Collection #2 My Holiday Glam








It's been a while since I've done the video and to be perfectly honest the only thing I've used from this box has been the mirror :P The mirror is SO cool though!
I just don't need a new eyeliner or BB cream right now, but I think they will come into use eventually (: I stand by this box being good value haha





Memebox Christmas Collection #1 Stress Free Holiday









I haven't tried the lipgloss yet but I do hang it on my cosmetic purse and still think it looks adorable heh~

I also quite enjoy the dress perfume even though it's not really cosmetic/skincare related! I like the scent and although it doesn't last long, it smells nice.

The armpit deodorant I didn't really like. I thought it would be useful but it just hasn't been. :(

I'm honestly just hoping to love the Shara Shara cream, so I can't safely say whether this box has been worth it for me yet :P


Memebox Christmas Collection #4 K Beauty Wrap Up 2



CLICK HERE for the info card!

I've been using the eye cream and I always love getting masks, so this box was just great!

Although to be honest I haven't tried any of those masks yet, my nose has not been particularly troubling and I have some nice chocolatey masks for when I do xD

I'm not really a fan of skincare that feels "cooling" but I'll still give the masks a try nonetheless!

And if the concealer works well I'm excited to give it a try after I use up my canmake one :)


My Overall Thoughts

The Memebox Christmas collection were pretty good and I'll really miss Memebox. I'm hesitant to destash knowing that I won't be able to order form Memebox anymore, and these are all products that I think will be useful eventually TwT

The "My Holiday Glam" box adhered to the theme especially well! "Stress-free holiday" had some very fun products that were unusual, rather than the usual ampoule moisturiser deal :P

If you'd like to buy a Memebox before they stop International shipping outside of US/China, click here. They will be stopping on February 10th so I recommend stocking up because generally the boxes are good deals!

Or go on a strike and decide to not give them your business because of their decision, it's really your choice!

No February codes unfortunately for you guys unfortunately :( No one has any yet, but I'll update this post if I get any!


Let me know what you thought about these Christmas boxes!
