November Bellabox 2015 Unboxing & Review

Hey lovely people!

Today is November 23, so wow. This November Bellabox arrived in November! ;D

The theme is Ready, Set, Glow!

Contents




1. Laqa and Co Cheeky Lip in Cray Cray (RRP $35) (Spoiler item)

2. Invisible Zinc 4Hr Resistant SPF 50+ (RRP $21.95)

3. Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Golden Shimmer (RRP $32.99 for 50ml, $6.60 for 10ml sample)

4. Sebamed Moisturising Body Lotion (RRP. $12.50 for 200ml, 95c for 15ml sample)

5. Ulta3 Nail Polish in Mojito (RRP $2.30, I swear I've never seen an ulta3 polish retail for more than $2 in real life though)

Bonus Carefree ultra Thins Regular (RRP $4.29 for 10 pack, 85c for 2)

Total value: $73.10


Information Card




What do I think?

Not the most glamorous box, but definitely a practical one. I can't exactly say I won't use everything... Ulta3 polishes are a cute present for a niece, and the body lotion could come in handy for those of you who don't have too much body lotion... :P The body lotion is intriguing though, I have to admit.

I'd say I'm content with this box. =)

My only real complaint this month: where is the tiffany blue box? D:


Swatches



Top: Laqa and Co Cheeky Lip Crayon in Cray Cray
Bottom: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm in Rendezvous

After putting on 3 coats, the difference between these two oranges really stand out. The Laqa & Co lip crayon is very matte, and it's a rather pink orange. Which is probably using it as a blush actually looked pretty good when I randomly decided to try it on camera!



Third: Laqa and Co Cheeky Lip Crayon in Cray Cray
Fourth: Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in Mischievous Mauchieuse

The texture is very close to the Revlon Colourburst Mattes =)




You can see the crayon used as a blush in this picture! Pretty decent :D

Sorry for my face, haha.

Hope you guys enjoyed and sorry for the huge hiatus xx

Video as always;



With lots of love,

Target Ebay Store Haul - NYX & Lifestyle! + (An actual photo of Nyx Wicked Lipstick Stone Cold on a face... Not just a swatch...)


Hi everyone!

Today's post is a haul from Target's ebay store. This is not to be confused with the Target website!

click me to go to the targetau ebay store!
They offer the same stuff as the physical stores with the same prices!

Shipping is $10 per item, but after $75, shipping Australia-wide is free.

Target's a pretty neat store and the ebay store is also new, so I thought I'd do a little haul to show you guys + give you guys a little review! (Even though essentially it's boring target items :P)

ANYWAY, into what I got! The store had a storewide 20% off coupon~




This is everything I got for $77! Here's the breakdown:



1. Target Essentials Pack of 12 Plastic Coat Hangers - RRP $2.50 ($2 after 20% off!) here

I use these and these only to hang up my clothes. I'm a bit wary of other hangers because the coat hangers my family uses are the cheap wire/metal kind that have previously snagged/damaged my clothes, so I don't use them when possible. (Or they break in a few months, lol.)

$2.50 for 12 is extremely reasonable and I thought I'd stock up since I'm always buying new clothes ;) These are extremely durable and do the job.

Anyway this was added to my cart as an afterthought and because I figured I'd eventually buy a pack of these anyway - might as well save 50c, hehe!



2. Anatomicals 100% not Chanel, but cocoa all the same cocoa body cleanser (RRP $4, $3.20 after 20% off!) here

Oh man, I love this flavour text. So hilarious.

This stuff smells freaking delicious, but even if it didn't work well as a body cleanser, I wouldn't mind keeping it in my bathroom vanity to just look cute. :D

So affordable! And this wasn't in stock at my local target - I had my eye on a few things by Anatomicals, but this wasn't there! So yay, score!




3. Rabbit Treats Jar (RRP $10, $8 after 20% off) here

Farout, this went on sale after I ordered and now it's $7 on the ebay store. OH WELL, ANYWAY-

Look how pretty this jar is!

This is about when I do a plug for Target's customer service - it's damn impressive. I sent them a bunch of questions, and one of them was about the dimensions of this item - they actually have people call in to their physical stores to check for you. They always reply within 24 hours - a few times they've replied within ten minutes. Like, jeez, they either have a lot of customer service reps or a few that are VERY dedicated.

I can't wait to put this to use. ^_^



4. Nyx Lippies!

a) Nyx Butter Gloss in Apple Strudel (RRP $9.95, $5.60 after 30% off then 20% off)
b) Nyx Butter Gloss in Angel Food Cake (RRP $9.95, $5.60 after 30% off then 20% off)
c) Nyx Butter Gloss in Devil Food Cake (RRP $9.95, $5.60 after 30% off then 20% off)
d) Nyx Wicked Lippie in Stone Cold (RRP $12.95, $7.30 after 30% off then 20% off)


I mentioned in my video that Apple Strudel didn't come hygienically sealed/new. I contacted their customer service about it and they replied (again, within 10 minutes!) and offered to ship me a replacement. Just like that. It was simple and easy and quick, and they don't stuff you around like some certain other ebay stores. -sigh-

5. Quilt cover - coming soon, it's in the process of being washed etc LOL


I think the store would be very convenient for anyone living far from a physical target store :D Although that does kind of defeat the purpose of being able to hassle-free return at any physical target store. I'm sure there's another return option for those who can't access one though!

I'm also just very happy with my haul in general!

Here's my unboxing video as always ~~




While I was looking for pictures of Stone Cold, all I could find were swatches or pictures of just the colour on people's lips.

I found out why when I applied it... So without further ado... Here's a bonus picture...

Don't click this unless you want the shock of your life... Seriously...

OKAY CLICK HERE FOR IT IF YOU'RE MENTALLY PREPARED.

Yeah, it's not very wearable. For anyone, I'd imagine. I look a little bit like I ate a unicorn, and more like I'm trying to look like a clown.

STILL A LOT OF FUN, BUT YEAH. SINCE I COULDN'T FIND A LOT OF PICTURES OF THIS WORN WITH A FACE ON THE INTERNET, HERE YOU GO INTERNET.

Jeez, am I going to regret uploading that?


With lots and lots of love and pink wishes!

JUST AN EDIT!

Somebody on reddit wanted me to do swatches of the Cheek Room Lip & Cheek Orange 01! So I thought I'd post it here too in case it would be helpful to someone =)

The actual product!

It's a bit more orange than what is seen here =)

Swatches!

On the right - a very light amount.
On the left - a normal amount, I really swirled my finger in there :P

Overall thoughts - very natural looking and great for brightening up your face! Doesn't look orange at all when applied =) Rather, it brings out the natural colour of your lips! Definitely a great product.

Silly me didn't actually try it on my cheeks! I rarely ever use blush which is why =(

That's really it for this post!

Thanks for reading!
