Review: Missha Line Friends Edition Magic Cushion + April Skin Magic Snow Cushion White! + BBcosmetic.com 10% off discount code!


Hi everyone!

Two cushion reviews today.

Missha on the right || April Skin on the left (applied on my face in awful lighting :P)

Missha Line Friends Edition Magic Cushion 15G + 15g (Refill) [no.23 natural beige] [x]


Claims:
- Improve wrinkles (can't test this)
- Brightening effect (yup!)

SPF:
- SPF 50/PA+++ coverage

Application:
- On the dewy side, but moreso glowing effect than a dewy effect.

Scent:
- Smells great, not noticeable but if someone was leaning in to your face it'd smell nice ;)


Coverage



Look at the red area around my nose! And compare my dark circle with the other eye! (From a video of me applying it... Which I decided was not worth uploading, but this picture does not do the finish justice)

Feel:
Didn't feel irritating - with ingredients like witch hazel, you'd suspect this was a skincare item and not a makeup item! That's the magic of BB though :) It's supposed to double as skincare. It doesn't weigh down or feel greasy on my face at all. 

Overall: 5/5
The Missha Magic Cushion is a classic that works well and really gives you that korean celebrity finish/glow. Come on guys, if you watch kdramas or have seen any kpop in your life, you know what I mean!

The packaging is absolutely irresistible and this will definitely be in my purse. I can't fault it =)


April Skin Magic Snow Cushion White SPF 50 PA+++ 15G (no.23 natural beige) [x]


Claims:
- Freckle coverage - yup! although my freckles are quite light
- Long-lasting - This was a nightmare to remove even with my Banila Co, and my face gets pretty oily!
- Moisturising - Probably? Not what the BB is for, I don't know/mind
- Whitening - For the duration, yes. I don't think this BB would have long-term effects, but can't say.

SPF:
- SPF 50/PA+++ coverage

Application:
- Medium coverage (although depicted as full in ads?)
- On the dewy side, but less dewy than the Missha
- You have to really blend this baby in! Easy to look chalky, gets kind of "clumped" for lack of better word as the day proceeds
- Made my skin look 1-2 tones lighter
I will take better pictures when I have daylight x:

Scent:
- Pretty much none

Feel:
It seemed to irritate a dry patch on my face. Other than that, it felt like how foundation would feel on my face. Since I applied it half half with the Missha, it emphasised how weightless the Missha was and how "normal" the application of the April Skin felt. 

Overall: 3/5
This product is currently HUGELY hyped in Korea. Like, winning a gazillion awards for achieving a flawless kbeauty whiter magical finish. I was actually really excited for this product. It's making me wonder if I'm doing something wrong with my cushion, haha.
But actually seeing how the product looks and feels on my face resulted in me deciding that this just wasn't the product for me. I'm no cushion expert, and I would still use this product over no coverage - it was just a little lacklustre. 
After some research, I realise the white cushion is meant for dry skin whilst the black is meant for oilier skin. This might be why my results weren't very good! Take this review with a grain of salt :P And don't make the same mistake as me!


I received (and handpicked personally!) these two cushions courtesy of bbcosmetic.com. (Cosmetic, not Cosmetics!)
They're a new website that offers free worldwide shipping, and have a decent range of products - I was personally most impressed that they had Missha Line products in stock (so much hype around these! So many people crazily searching for where to buy!) They're Korean, but also have a Warehouse in LA for those lucky-ducks in the US who will get faster shipping. I received my package in three days via DHL with no dramas. They offer Paypal for peace of mind. And they included sachet samples, which makes me happy!

So check them out and use my special exclusive code for my readers (you guys!) for 10% off if you'd like =)

10% off Code: NVHYL0366K26

With love,

pynkbunny.

(PS, check out my giveaway in the post before this! It closes in 24 hours!)

These products were gifted generously to me, but still handpicked by me. I was not sponsored for this post. All opinions are my own~

Sasa Haul 2015! ♥ {My Beauty Diary, Koji, Banila Co, Fairy Drops, more!}


Hi everyone!

My Sasa package arrived!

I ordered on July 27, got my dispatch notification on July 29, and it arrived to me safely in Australia on August 5th. Pretty quick - it took nine days from ordering!

I had been eyeing some Sasa products when a kind AB soul (u/MsMacquarie) posted a PSA on the asianbeauty subreddit about the MBD sale, and I knew I had to get on it!

Without further ado, here's what I got...

♥ The Contents!



♥ The items - with clickable Sasa links!
1. My Beauty Diary NATURAL KEY LINE Black Pearl Whitening Mask (10pc); $13.50 (with a $4 discount! 30% off)
2. My Beauty Diary NATURAL KEY LINE Arbutin Whitening Mask (10pc): $15.5 (with a $4.60 discount! 30% off)
3. Banila Co Clean It Zero (180ml): $30
4. Suisse Programme Hydra-Solution Recovery Eye Gel-Cream (3ml sample): $9.50
5. SNP 99% Snail Soothing Gel (300g): $6 (flash sale)
6. Koelf Ruby Bulgarian Rose Hydro Gel Eye Patch (30 pairs): $13.50 
7. Koji Spring Heart Eyelash Fix (Black): $2.10
8. Koji Steam Eye Mask (Lavender, 5pcs): $8
9. Fairy Drops Waterproof Pplatinum Mascara Film T2 (Black): $17.50
10. Koji Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner III: $15.90
11. Belle madame Konjac Sponge (round-shape); $13.50
12. Bawang Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (400ml) $7.90 (it was in different packaging so it missed the picture!.. the link is gone for some reason)

Free samples:
♥ SUISSE PROGRAMME Platinum Precious Luxury Up-lift Serum (3ml)
♥ SUISSE PROGRAMME CELLULAR Aqua Night Cream (2ml)

Altogether: $134.30 with free shipping!

I'm really happy I managed to get a lot of items I've been having my eye on - I've been lusting over Fairy Drops mascara since EVER, I've heard such great things about the Konjac sponge, and finally busting out my small sample of the Banila Co Clean It Zero was seriously one of the best skincare decisions I've ever made.

Everything was well-wrapped, shipping was fast, and the prices were very affordable! :D

♥ For my full impressions on my haul, I made a video!

(My university semester has started, and it's faster than typing a lot of text :P)


If you want a more in-depth review on any of the products, please let me know because I tend to be lazy and just use them and be happy with them XD

Thanks for reading/watching guys and stay beeeeautiful xxx

Brad's KBeauty Box "My Cute Box" Unboxing & Review


Hi everyone!

Have you heard of Brad's K Beauty box? It's one of the latest to hit the Australian market, alongside K beauty by K. Both of them are awesome awesome people and super friendly!

But I digress. Today I'm unboxing "Brad's My Cute Box"! This is the first official box that has been received in the general public!

This box was $30 + $10 for shipping. With a 10% off discount coupon code (that was available in a promotional time period upon release), I paid $37. (I'm going to have a discount code of my own for you guys at the end of this post! Stick around for that!)

Without further ado, let's get into the items!



The contents~
1. Tonymoly Fruit Princess Gloss in Peach (7USD on KoreaDepart)
2. Tonymoly Latte Art Cacao Pore Pack (11USD on KoreaDepart)
3. Etude House Wonder Pore Mixing Bowl  (4USD on EtudeHouse)
4. Etude House Help My Finger Pink Nail Ampoule  (2.50USD on EtudeHouse)
5. Tonymoly I'm Real Mask Sheet in Tea Tree ($1 on KoreaDepart (5 for <5USD)
6. Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lovely Lip Patch ($2 on KoreaDepart (5 for 9USD)
7. Tonymoly Red Cheeks Girl's Patch ($2 on KoreaDepart (5 for 9USD)

+ Samples;
♥ The Face Shop Mango Seed Heart Volume Heart Butter
♥ The Face Shop Herb Day Cleansing Foam
♥ Face It BB Cream Power Perfection SPF37/ PA ++


Let's discuss the box!

Value ♥ 3/5
Unfortunately that comes about to $37 of value if you round up with exchange rates and such. $28.50USD becomes almost $37AUD exactly says a quick google search, Paypal exchange rates are more expensive though, and thus using those that 28.50USD might have cost more in AUD to buy.
You must also keep in mind these prices exclude shipping from KoreaDepart. So with $37, you can't actually afford to buy and get shipped to Australia every single item in the box.
Regardless, on paper, you are paying $37 and receiving back literally $37 in things shipped free to your door. =) Again, excluding shipping and time for research etc. Not necessarily a good or bad thing, just saying it like it is.

Theme ♥ 5/5
Everything is definitely cute! I'd have to comment that the gloss is the cutest thing there. The only thing I'd say that isn't "cute" there is maybe the bowl, but even then the colour is cute, it's small, and it's a bowl specifically for mixing products we don't even have. ie. probably useless = cute. I was discussing this with my friends this day - cute things are either small or useless once you think about it. :P Just kidding guys, I know I'll use the bowl and the material is kind of nifty and unique. The website describes it as "rubbery" and thus perfect for modelling packs. Hmm!


Curation ♥ 4/5
Slightly different to theme - this box's curation is pretty decent. Most things in there are fairly useable for everyone - lip gloss is definitely appealing and a makeup staple, even for those who don't use too much makeup. There's skincare and even nail care. The masks are different sorts for different areas!
The only thing keeping the curation from being a 5/5 is that everything is from two brands - Etude House and Tonymoly. And even though those two brands are two very well-loved brands (heck they're my two favourite Korean brands, I'm just going to come out and say it) - these boxes should be about trying new things, and although the nail ampoule is new to me, I'd like to be discovering new brands too. I know that to kbeauty newbies these of course will be new, but I know some veterans who will want to be buying these boxes too!
This might just be too close to a "My Cute TonyMoly Box" rather than just a "My Cute Box".

Presentation ♥ 4/5

Look at the cute bag everything came in!



Even a tag with a handwritten note - aww! I didn't notice that while I was unboxing in my video, oops. Everything was neatly inside, and there were even some official looking K Beauty by Brad stickers sealing the bag and the package on the outside. Really nicely done!
An information card and an actual BOX is coming soon too for future boxes so nothing more to say on presentation :D But when these things come, I'm sure I'll give the whole box a 5/51

Overall ♥ 4/5
Definitely a box I would recommend for kbeauty lovers and especially people new to the kbeauty world! I know a lot of my friends would definitely be impressed with EVERYTHING in this box.
I think I got some great items I'll definitely use. I can't wait to see my friends react to this little gloss, and Snapchat my friends with those masks on (even though I always Snapchat them really crazy masks... Who knows, maybe one of these will surprise them, haha!)
The coffee latte art is just LOVE and I can't wait to try it. The box hits all the nails and it's only just come out from a very new company! It's crazy and it's only going to get better and more amazing. ^^ I know soon it will be hitting that 5/5 =DD

Priceline Skincare Gift Bag Goody Bag - Unbagging, Breakdown & Review

Hi everyone!

Did you know Priceline does regular "destash" goody bags, just like we try to do with our own makeup/skincare? :P

This skincare goody bag was the biggest one yet, so I knew I had to be in on it!

It started today (Thursday 16th June 2015) and there were fliers everywhere~

To get it, you had to buy $69 or more on participating brands~



Participating Brands: Antipodes, Biore, Burts Bees, Avene, Bondi Sands, Dr. Lewinns, Innoxa, Pure Paw Paw, Lanolips, Model Co, Jergens, Laboratoire Pharmaceutique, Le Tan, Montagne Jeunesse, Nuxe, Physiogel, Rosken, Swisspers, Palmers, Essano, Sukin, Thursday Plantation, Formula 10.0.6, Key Sun, lOreal, Neutrogena, Oxa, Bioderma, Nivea, Garnier.

(In store, a lot of these brands were on sale too!)

Without further ado, I''m going to show you what came in my bag...



SO MUCH STUFF! This is excluding the four free vouchers - ModelCo Cleanser of your choice, Innoxa Cleanser of your choice, Physiogel Cream and Garnier Skin Cream. ALL FULL SIZE.

Let's have a breakdown...

Tanning items
1. Bondi Sands Mitts (RRP $10)
2. Le Tan Instant Tan in Dark Bronze 110ml (RRP $13.50)

I don't tan, but definitely know some tanning junkies would be all over it. :P A miss for me personally though.

Cleansing
3. Sukin Detoxifying Clay Masque 50ml (RRP $16 for 100ml, $8)
4. Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser 200ml (RRP $14)
5. Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub 135ml (RRP $10)
6. Montagne Jeunesse Blemish Mud Mask (RRP $4)

Especially excited for the Sukin clay mask! The rest though.. I'm very set (as in, have too much of) on cleansers in general...

Hand creams
7. Essano Rosehip Nourishing Hand Creme in Wild Rose and Jojoba 120ml (RRP $15)
8. Rosken Intensive Moisture Hand Cream 75ml (RRP $4)

The Essano hand creme looks really nice! Loving the pink packaging, it looks sleek and cute at the same time. Rosehip oil is a much-loved ingredient and I'm curious to know what it'll do for my hands! The other hand cream I'll probably give away though.

Oils
9. Thursday Plantation Nurture Oil Bio-Perfecting 60ml (RRP $13.49)
10. Antipodes Apostle Skin-Brightening & Tone-Correcting Serum 10ml sample (RRP $60 for 30ml, $20)
11. Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse (One use sample)

I repeat - RRP $60?! For this Antipodes Serum? It's also sold in Myer for $59, so the story checks out. We have a fancy pants item here guys. :K who doesn't love free expensive skincare? How do people justify spending this much on a product they've never tried before?! Excited!

Moisturiser
12. Antipodes Vanilla  Pod Hydrating Day Cream (one use sample)
13. Dr Lewinn's Multi-Moisture Balm 50g (RRP. $30)
14. Jergens Daily Moisture 250ml (RRP $6) 
15. Palmer's Shea Butter Formula With Vitamin E Lotion 250ml (RRP. $7.50)

Palmer's! YAY!
That Antipodes sachet also sounds nice. The rest I'll probably use to see how it goes, but don't know much/currently have no strong feelings about.

"After-moisturiser"?

16. L'oreal Paris Revitalift Magic Blur Instant Skin Smoother Finishing Cream 30ml (RRP $25)
17. Garnier Miracle Skin Cream (5ml sample)

Again, no strong feelings. I should mention that you also get a voucher for the full size of the Garnier, but more on that later.

Lips

18. Pure Paw Paw Ointment in Strawberry 25g (RRP $6)
19. Lanolips 101 Ointment in Rose SPF15 12.5ml(RRP $14) 
20. Nivea Lip Butter Unscented 16.7g (RRP $5.69)
21. Key Sunn Zinke SPF50+ in Pink 12g (RRP $4)
22. La Roche Posay Cicaplast Soothing Repairing Balm 7.5ml sample (RRP $16 for 40ml, ~$3)

SO MANY LIP ITEMS. I LOVE LIPCARE. I WILL LOVE AND USE ALL OF THIS.
The Zinke does confuse me just a little bit though - I don't feel like I've ever seen this item in Priceline, and even search the Priceline website doesn't offer any Key Sun items... Weird..
And hey... isn't there meant to be a Burt's Bees lip product here?! D:

Face wipes

23. Swisspers Original Unscented Facial Cleansing Wipes (25 wipes) (RRP $6.30)
24. Formula 10.0.6 Wipe Your Face off Make-up Removing Facial Wipes in Pink Grapefruit and Apple (25 wipes) (RRP $7)

I know that Formula 10.0.6 is very popular - I love the packaging of this wipe and make-up removal wipes are always welcome! I will give both a go, both sound really nice!

Miscellaneous
25. Swisspers 400 Cotton Tips (RRP $5.80)
26. Avene Eau Thermale Spring Water Mist 50ml (RRP $10)
27. Innoxa Organic Brightening Eye Creme 15ml (RRP $20)

I needed new cotton tips! I really wanted the pads pictured in the sample bag but seeing other people's unbaggings - no one was getting the cotton pads and everyone was getting the tips, which was a shame. The Avene is such a perfect summer item (it's currently freezing in Sydney though) but a welcome addition to my stash. The Innoxa Organic Eye Creme is probably one of the highlights of the bag for me! My dark circles are my main problem area!

Vouchers!

28. ModelCo Cleanser - choose from their Gel Cleanser, Cream Cleanser or Cleansing Foam (RRP $15)
29. Innoxa Cleanser - choose from Innoxa's Renew Triple Action Gel Wash, Renew Anti-Ageing Exfoliator, or Super Sensitive Creme Cleansing Milk (RRP $18)
30. Physiogel Calming Relief Cream 50ml sample (RRP. $13 for 100ml, $6.50 sample)
31. Garnier Miracle Skin Cream 50ml (RRP $20)

So these vouchers work the same as the Priceline Sister Club ones would I assume. There's a barcode and you take it in store and let them scan it to redeem your free product. :)

So what was the total value of this bag?

$321

(*thank you Benscrub Indonesia for drawing my attention to things and helping me fix this number up!)

Excluding the Garnier sample ($2) and the Nuxe (not sure what to value this at.)

Over $400? $323 seems hardly. Then again, they will probably just claim the bag itself is worth over $80...? =/

Meh! I'm still really happy with the bag, just amused that it doesn't calculate to be over $400. Even if I was rather generous with the RRPs (I mean $5.80 for a pack of cotton buds? pls Priceline)

If you assume everything was 40% off (like the typical skincare sale that Priceline does have semi-regularly), then everything in this bag could have been purchased with $192.60.

Still great value. And you still got the original $69+ of things you bought in the first place. :)



Anyway, this was a LOOOOONG POST. It took a look amount of time because I had to individually search up the prices of everything, but you guys are worth it ;) I would've loved something like this for when I was deciding if I was going to get the bag or not, so I hope someone finds this helpful.

Of course be sensible - even though it's a lot of stuff, if you'll use only one item worth $20 in here it's not worth your money. I'm a sucker for gift with purchase promotions too, but I knew I'd definitely get my money's worth from this bag from looking at the picture.

Personally, I thought this was a fantastic bag with lots of products that I personally will use or have been wanting to try. The value is pretty great and the item selection and range of things is HUGE! Very well-rounded bag that covers most aspects of Western skincare.

If you want to see my first impressions of it as I was unbagging, here's my video as always!


 

Here's what you add to your cart online once you've carted your $69 or more of qualifying item. HERE

The promotion started on June 18 and technically runs until July 1st, but I think they will definitely run out by then, so be quick if you want one to avoid disappointment!

This is linked up with fabulousandfunlife!

Hope you guys enjoyed and I'll talk to you guys again very soon!

xoxo

pynkbunny~


-x- A QUICK UPDATE to this post:

Priceline did quote the RRP of the bag itself to be $40. They have also been fantastic in sending replacement items, so that the value of the bag did end up reaching just over $400. If you had any missing items with your own bag, contact their customer service! It's quite excellent :)

Haul, Mini-review: Tonymoly Delight Mono Shadow, FOTD, OOTD... IDK my day in general? O_O THIS POST IS EVERYTHINGGGG


Hi everyone!

I did a bit of shopping today. And by a bit, I mean, quite a bit.

But by far the best finds were all Asian beauty related and UNDER $3 EACH.



Those Tonymoly Delight mono eyeshadows? Would you like to guess how much they were?

I purchased them from AHA in Parramatta Westfields - that's a physical store located in Sydney, Australia. For those of you who aren't unfamiliar, everything in Australian physical stores are REALLY EXPENSIVE/marked up compared to real life.

I was browsing around, just wanting to laugh at how ridiculous the prices were (which I mostly did) - but THESE BEAUTIES WERE $2 EACH. AND THERE WERE SO MANY COLOURS.

(They also had the Tonymoly I'm Real masks for 10 for $15, which isn't bad! I regret not taking pictures now, this store/stall actually had quite a lot of things...)

Anyway, I'm not usually a mono kind of gal, but I just knew I had to pick a few up. They're handy to just chuck in your purse, they had over 20 colours with testers just begging me to test them, and I have to support AB in Australia of course! ;)



They open up like this and you can close them back up. Of course it's just plastic but it's not actually to flimsy - like flimsy but not sushi takeaway container flimsy, more like Dhinese take away container grade plastic where you know it'll hold your food but not really withstand pressure. :P.





These are decently pigmented and show up well whilst still remaining kind of "background" colours! I'm pretty impressed. The silver is by far the least pigmented and would apply over matte colours to add shimmer nicely. All three colours are VERY shimmery and gorgeous!

I love shimmery colours!

They had a few matte shades too but none that appealed to me.

I wish I bought more - in fact I'll probably be going back to buy more next chance I get because for $2each, I don't think that's beatable and I seriously just want everything to play with.

The store wasn't selling the palette you're meant to put these in, which I suspect might be part of the reason they're on sale, but I think they're fine as they are. They'll survive being tossed around in your purse. At least, I think they would - I'll be finding out! They're so light and compact.

My Verdict!
♥ Pigment: 3/5 (These Tonymoly shadows are very buildable, but still rather sheer. They make for perfect subtle "overall lid" colours. So not as pigmented as let's say, the UD Naked shadows, but that's why I chose them! So much more forgiving for an eyeshadow newbie like me!)
♥ Price: 5/5 ($2each WHAAAT.)
♥ Colour Range: 4/5 (So many shimmery and matte colours, mainly neutrals and very wearable colours.)
♥ Packaging: 3.5/5 (Even though it's light, portable and compact standalone, you are supposed to buy a separate palette to contain it since it's flimsy. They could just make these individual packs sturdier!)
♥ Texture: 5/5! (So easy to apply and feels like nothing on!)





As for the Daiso facial plate... Facial massage is awesome! If you haven't seen one of these before, they're for scraping your face to make it look skinnier. (Yes, seriously!) There are tutorials for it online and it's rather easy to do ^^ I'd highly recommend looking into it if you haven't already!

$2.80 is seriously an unbeatable price for one of these. (Even on ebay they're at least $3. And they're green. :K) And finally I've managed to catch one, which I'm really happy about since I stalk Daiso basically religiously and it hasn't been in stock.

(Still hunting for the Silicone facial mask holder thing, grr!)

Everytime I walk into Daiso I walk out with at least a few things, so I felt like it was an achievement to leave with only one thing I had been hunting for.

(Actually, that's because just a few days previously, I bought this little lot of things..)

Reviews of these items later - don't want to crowd this post :P

I was feeling very pink and girly for a day of very girly catchup and shopping~

We met up at Paper Plane Cafe at about 8:30!

(I wanted to go to Shinara to try their big breakfast, but Roo refused. XD)


Delicious breakfast menu :)

Everything was so nicely presented and prepared quickly!

The atmosphere was very nice and homely :)

After we were full and energised, we were READY TO SHOP.

It was her last hoorah before Ramadan, and for me it was my first time being out since after finals, so you can guess what happened...

oops...


This was my full haul, non-AB and all~

(Also bought a few presents that aren't pictured in case the recipients read this post ;))

Finished the day co-casting FaceIt Pro League with Tom for Bad News Studio ~ (a dota2 casting studio I'm a part of! We're very new but it's a load of fun and we're the official casters for the upcoming Tita Tournament!)

(I know not too many of you would be interested, but it's mainly just here to confirm it's me XP)

CLICK HERE!

And that was my day! I guess?

Well, I didn't really end it with the cast - I ended it blogging to you guys. Just trying something new and giving you a glimpse of what I've been up to.

Maybe you guys enjoy this kind of thing? WHO KNOWS, I DON'T, I'M JUST HAVING FUN.

Let me know your thoughts <3

Thanks for reading ~

with lots of love,

It's That Time - "Just Because Pamper Pack" Unboxing!


Hi everyone!

Have you heard of "It's That Time"? It's the latest Australian women's hygiene box to hit the market! -cue confetti pouring from the sky here-

They were kind enough to send me a box of my choice at half price to review for you guys, so buckle up :)

I ordered the "Just Because Pamper Pack" which costs $50 for the box and promises $80 RRP. They have LOTS of different packs and options - this one I chose to not contain any feminine hygiene products - only beauty.

I got this box on 13/6 and ordered on 6/6, so shipping took seven days - pretty decently fast considering it was with auspost!



Look at the glossy cardboard box this came in! SO SO glossy and even has their pretty brand on it! (It had a cute giftwrap pink wool bow thing going on too, but I ripped it open before taking a picture :(( )

Upon opening it, everything's wrapped up in black tissue and there are these fake scented rose petals everywhere. Smells so nice and clean.

THE CONTENTS FLATLAY.



In here we have:

♥ 3x Shick Exacta Razors (RRP $5)
♥ Boe Beauty Bath Puff (RRP ? I'm going to guess $2)
♥ L'oreal Elnett Satin Hairspray 75ml (RRP $10 for 400ml, ~$2 sample)
♥ Palmer's Rapid Moisture Spray (RRP $10)
♥ Priya Mild & Gentle Cleansing Shower Gel in Real Macademia Oil 400ml (RRP $10)
♥ L'oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in 01 Nudy Pink (RRP $22.95)
♥ Rexona Women Whitening 48 Hour Antiperspirant Deoderant (RRP $5.79)
♥ Homemade Wheatbags ($8.95)
♥ Libra Hotties Heat Patches (RRP $5)
♥ Lindt Hello My Name Is Strawberry Cheesecake (RRP $5)
♥ Yogi Bedtime Tea
♥ Nescafe Dark Choc Mocha


Also forgot to include the Tilley Pure Vegetable Soap (RRP $15 for 5, so $3) in the picture! Mine came in the flavour hibiscus flower ^^~


That's $80.55 value (according to my internet research of retail prices) without the condiments... Those wheatbags were the star of this box for me :) And you can only get them from It's That Time as well... so that's your $RRP $80 right there!

I think the box definitely pays for itself and would make a really lovely gift for mothers, aunts, little cousins... relatives in general. Sure people joke about gifting bath products, but seriously. Everyone uses them and they're nice! Because I didn't order any hygiene products, this box was very much a kind of hamper of random beauty products that you could customise if you wanted to.

The box is great in the aspects of presentation, shipping speed, and value.

Objectively, the only little hiccup was that the Palmer's spray was open and spilled a little bit. Nothing disastrous though.



BUT, I'm going to turn the lens of objectivity off for the rest of this post to explain my face sinking a little in the video. (It's my legitimate first impressions in the video, and I wouldn't hide my real reaction from you guys!)




Here's a screenshot of the sample contents on their website! You can see it here yourself if you'd like.

I saw quite a few products I wanted in there - Baby Lips (you can see my blogpost about my collection of eight here), Revlon polishes... These two items were in basically every unboxing picture I saw from this company, so I was pretty keen at first, but not quite sold on the whole box.

My collection hehe ~ 

I'm going to confess right now to you guys - the main reason that pushed me over the edge to purchase "It's That Time" was because I saw the Lindt Cookies and Cream Chocolate bar in someone else's box, and just wanted it SO BADLY. I couldn't find it in any Woolworths or Coles within a reasonable distance from me, so I asked It's That Time where they got it from and they said straight from Lindt. So I conceded, and asked if they could throw together a box that just contained the chocolate and some beauty products because I really wanted that exact chocolate. (Like yes, would pay $25 for a whole box of random stuff just for the exact chocolate kind of REALLY WANT. I'm a little insane, but I like chocolate okay?!?!?! :P)

Cookies & Cream HELLO Bar
Seriously, who wouldn't want a bite of this?

They said yes, and even discounted the box for me because they saw my blog, which was so nice! (Disclaimer: My opinions are still my own etc etc etc I'm honest as hell etc)

About four days later, I was paid so I bought the box. Then I discussed it with them even more - I gave them a picture of my Baby Lips collection and my Revlon nail polish collection and told them even if I got a repeat I would be fine with it, but I'd be pretty impressed if they avoided repeating colours I already had. Only if it wasn't a hassle though ~

They confirmed everything with me and shipped out the next day, la di da ~

As you could tell from my unboxing - there was no cookies and cream flavoured chocolate. I don't at all blame the company - I should have mentioned it again, but in my head it was very obvious because I told them I really wanted it and it was the reason I was buying the box! Of course four days is a long time and I should have reminded them, but for a box that has fully customisable DIY options, communication should be key.

The box honestly was still great, but learn from my mistake and be sure to always be clear in what you want! I told them I'd be really happy with any Baby Lips and not necessarily one that I don't already have, but that may have interpreted that as me not wanting one at all.

And anyway, everything turned out fine - THIS STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE FLAVOUR IS AMAZING.

And as always, here's my unboxing video ~


What did you think of this box? Go show them some love on their page!

They're very new and of course there's always room to improve - I have really high hopes for them and hope to review another box later down the track showing how far they've gotten! ^_^
