Little Fairy Soapery April Mystery Box {Candy} 2016 - Unboxing & Review!



Hi everyone!

Today I have a mystery box by the Little Fairy Soapery to unbox with you guys!

Here's the little description~

"Bath bombs, soaps, body scrubs, face masks, body and face wash, massage oils, bath oils, hair and facial treatments, beauty tools and so much more! What will your mystery box contain? Boxes are only $25 each per month.
Free postage, contains 6-10 amazing full sized or sample products which exceed that value."

The theme was this month was candy - I love candy so much! I have a huge sweet tooth, so I was very excited for this box!

They ship out on the first Friday of each month, and lucky April - Friday was the 1st! The box arrived on the 6th, which was decently quick for Australia post!

The contents!
Cute newsletter enclosed! A different take on the info card :D


♥ Guys, I seriously can't get over this huge Birthday Cake Scented Bath Bomb Lollipop. (RRP $8)

IT SMELLS AMAZING, AND LOOKS SO CUTE!

Pardon my demonic -looking face in this mask - I always send a Snapchat when I'm masking, and I just had to feature the lollipop! It made a few reply back with a great deal of envy until I told them it was a bath bomb ;D

I think it's too cute to use - I'm going to stick them in a vase with my fake flowers I got for my birthday because I think it would fit in, haha!





Bath Milk Powder with Sweet Almond Oils and Epsom Salts, rainbow sherbet scented (RRP $16)

Can we just appreciate how pretty the colours are of this?

It looks like something that belongs to one of those cute pastel blogs on tumblr. Or a phone background. So ~aesthetic~

How interesting of an idea is /smooth/ bath salt is?




Jawbreaker Design Glycerin Soap, Haribo Gummy Bear Scented (RRP $.580)

I have a confession to make. I give away some of the soaps I get because I receive too many and I only have one body to use them on. shock, horror!

Most of them goes to my best friend (you guys might have seen her on my channel before, in this Bellabox unboxing for example). She for some reasons uses COPIOUS amounts of soap. I don't understand how, she seems to go through them by the truckload.

BUT THESE GUMMY BEAR ONES - I'M KEEPING THEM FOR SMELLING PURPOSES.

The experience of smelling them - I might as well be eating gummy bears to be honest. They honestly make me feel like I'm eating gummy bears.

I know, sounds crazy, but I can't get over how much they smell like real gummy bears!




Sample Pot, Whipped Body Butter, Caramel Butterscotch Scented

This did leak, but it was covered in glad wrap so it only leaked into the glad wrap and not the rest of the box. So someone obviously does some testing in the Little Soapery :P

Smells delicious! I find it interesting that the formula is so runny for a body butter - I think viscosity-wise it's closer to a moisturier? But the ingredient composition is probably what would make it closer to a body butter.
I like this product the least in this box since after I applied it on my body it had a bit of a sticky finish, which I did not particularly enjoy.



Sample Soaps, 2x Mini Men in Grandmas Apple Pie Scent, slice of Shea Butter enriched milk soap, scented in milk and honey.

The card description did confuse me a little bit, but I believe both the gingerbread men are Grandmas Apple Pie Scented, whilst the slice backing them keeping them from breaking is the Milk and Honey Soap bar. Clever!

These scented are quite a bit milder than everything else that had been mentioned so far, but still absolutely delicious smelling! And makes sense considering the smells they are named after =)


 

 

White Rose Nail Buffer (RRP $2)

I know this item shouldn't be too exciting...

But it's just so cute and chic!

The design of it is really good, and the flower on top just really makes it 10x cuter!

I'm really just a sucker for flowers and good design, huh....

Also the file is CANDY COLOURED one of my viewers pointed out :D Fit the theme, yay~


Overall, the items and the value in this box is great! It's definitely a good selection of items that are unique, fun, and fit the theme!

Of course, with all boxes that are up and starting, there are a few things that (in my humble opinion) could be improved on :3

* The little pot that leaked. Probably won't be using those pots again :P
* A few typos in the newsletter. I know this isn't a big deal, just something I noticed (especially given that I'm technically an English major), and just a little thing to do that improves the overall quality of the box!
* More different kinds of boxes! I know that with certain other soap box brands, they offer different types of boxes. A mystery box is great, but if someone were buying this expected a lot of bar soaps, they would be disappointed. Luckily, I'm not one of those people ;D

Of course, the quality of the items are what matters! And that's something Liana really nailed!

♥ Video as always~



Alright this should be the end of the post, but while we're talking about the Little Fairy Soapery I just want to take the chance to gush at a few of her retail items because they're SO CUTE

Vegan Box February 2016 Unboxing & Review

Hi everyone!

Today I have a The Vegan Box unboxing! This is a monthly box that costs $30 a month including shipping.

This is an Australian company. Reviews of this box seem really hard to find online.

You can buy one of your own here. They also have a bi-monthly beauty box which is pricier at $50/month!


The contents


The information card

My overall thoughts:

I'm very happy to find a vegan alternative to chocolate and parmesan sauce in here. I will use both (I'm still munching on the Cacao crunch as I blog right now - the taste is really growing on me and it's pretty delicious!)

I will also use the Konjac sponge, and I'm happy to try a different brand to the one I currently have, which is from Sasa. I really love my Konjac sponge, and they do need to be replaced regularly!

If I had to complain about something, it would be the small sizes of some of the other items. One Ginger Chew and one 4g Coconut sugar sachet seems hardly enough to make a real impression of the product.

I appreciate that they prefer to give us a lot of different products to try rather than a large quantity of one product, but I think it really is difficult to know from one candy if you want more of it!

I think for a box like this, paying $30 for $36 in value is reasonable, even though with a beauty box that would upset me more. This company seems like it's still growing, and the money goes into brand research which would be a lot more difficult in this area. + They're setting us up for the realistic expectation that becoming vegan is expensive :P

One more thing... I wish they replied to my email asking if I was getting the January or February box. Maybe they missed it? Or maybe their customer service is lacking. Either way, I got the February box, and not the January one, and no suspicious/dodgy double-charging happened, which is great!

I think there are definitely improvements that can be made, but my experience with this box is still overall a positive one! I would not mind ordering from them again when my budget allows - perhaps in April. =)



My video as always:


Thanks for reading/watching guys

With lots of love,

Jolse Random Box Unboxing! {Vitamin C OST Version}


Hi everyone!

Today I have a Jolse random box unboxing!
This box was $29.98USD~

You could choose from a bunch of boxes named after the spoiler item, and I chose the Vitamin C OST that I had been wanting to try out for so long! here

To see what boxes are available, click here! Notable items are some of the COSRX items and the Skinfood Black Sugar Wash Off Mask :)

The box promised a free COSRX diary to the first 300 customers and a higher value than the paid price,

apologies for shoddy lighting, I was excited to show you guys :P
Let's do the breakdown!



COSRX Diary (Priceless? LOL)
The stickers are so cute! The diary itself is a bit disappointing though, since there is definitely not 365 days in here... But it's still very cute! Just not practical :P



1. Etude House Moistfull Aloe Soothing Gel (12,22USD) [x]
2. Milky Dress Anti Trouble Refresh Moisturiser (13.18UD) [x]
3. Vitamin C OST (14.44USD) [x]
4. Milky Dress Oasis Peeling Gel (12.30USD) [x]

Total so far: 51.70USD

And these are their sale prices, not their full prices from Jolse :)



5. Etude House Real Art Cleansing Oil Moisture Sample 25ml (1.90 on RRS) (couldn't find on Jolse)
6. Etude House Look at My Eyes Eyeshadow in Jungle Red (4.96USD) [x]
7. Holika Holika Basic Nails (3.58USD) [x]

Total: $62.60USD


Samples!


Overall:

This arrived so fast and I'm very happy with the contents! Definitely worth it and would purchase again! So many samples and they didn't disappoint in making the value worth it =)

I was worried it wouldn't be because Jolse's prices are a little (-cough-inflated-cough-) SOMETIMES but it turned out fine! =D

Swatch:
Etude House Look At My Eyes in (Jungle Red?)

With love,

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 Bic Soleil Glow Razor (RRP $7.50 for 3, $2.50 for 1)

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,

Bellabox October 2015 Unboxing & Review (ft. Lena!) (ft. WTF why did I buy this box!)


Hi everyone!

You've all heard of Bellabox by now, and maybe if you've been following my blog for a while, you know about my very tumultuous relationship with Bellabox :P (read: love-hate)

So without further ado, the contents of this month's box...

The contents

It was hard to make this box look good. Like, really hard. xD

Give me some credit guys!



Total value of this box:

1. Coastal Scents Eyeshadow (? no value given)
2. Ardell Strip Lashes RRP $10 (read as: $5, because noone buys from Priceline full price)
3. Aspar Hand Cream 10ml ($2.80 value)
4. Avene Skin Recovery Cream 5ml ($4.50 value)
5. QVS Eyeshadow APplicator ($6.99 value)

Bonus
Macadamia Natural Oil ($1 value)

Total value:"$25.30",
(which is really more like $10 if you consider how much I'm willing to pay for everything in this box.)

People pay $17.99 for these boxes Bellabox. Step it up.

$25.30 of value of $18 is still atrocious considering the quality of the products.


Final verdict:
"Wtf this box sucks lmao why did I resubscribe" - me literally everytime I receive a Bellabox. Why do I never learn? :P

Unboxing video as usual:



How were your October boxes? As bad as mine? Let me know!
