September Her Fashion Box!

Last week I received my very first Her Fashion Box.

Her Fashion Box is a new Australian subscription service. It costs $39.95 per month and you receive three fashion items and at least four deluxe beauty samples.

You also get the choice of three style profiles to suite your tastes: Classic, Trendy and Feminine.

There is also a smaller version, the boxette which costs $24.95 per month.

The theme of the September box was "clutch on" and I chose the feminine box.

What's inside??

1. Her Fashion Box Glamour Glimmer clutch: Gorgeous little clutch bag covered in navy blue sequins. Dark metal hardware and strap. RRP: $39.95

2. Her Fashion Box Warm Glow ID Bracelet: This was probably my favourite item in this box. It's rose gold. really chunky and very trendy at the moment. RRP: $29.95

3. Her Fashion Box Kiss From a Rose Ring: This is also gorgeous. Rose gold, adorable heart pattern with diamontes. It bends to suit different size fingers. RRP: $24.95

4. Maybelline Colour Show nail varnish in Coral Crush: Great colour for spring. RRP: $5.95

5. Maybelline Colour Show nail varnish in Blue Freeze: a navy blue polish with specks of glitter through it. RRP: $5.95

6. Designer Brands Chubby Lipstick Crayon in Kiss & Tell Red: I actually really love this colour and the formula seems really nice, which is a surprise for DB cosmetics. RRP: $7.99

7. Designer Brands Kohl eye pencil in Black: I've tried these before and actually don't like them very much so that was a little disappointing. But I guess that's kind of the point of these subscription boxes - to try different products etc. RRP: $4.99.

8. C2 Collagen firming & moisturising facial mask: I LOVE facial masks so I'm excited to try this one out soon! RRP: $29 for five masks

9. PureTAN Pure Moisture Coconut Body Creme Body Scrub (12ml sample): This smells really good and I've never heard of this brand before so I'm looking forward to trying this soon as well. It has the perfect scent for summer! RRP: $12.95 (65ml) or $27.95 (125ml)

Overall I was a little disappointed with this box. It was great value because it contained 9 products, which is really good for a subscription service however, I think it would have been better with fewer, better quality products. I'm not a huge fan of Designer Brands, who were the beauty sponsor this month.

I also don't think it was particularly feminine in nature. The navy blue clutch isn't something I would normally choose and wasn't really what I was expecting.

I am going to give it another go though, and I'm hoping it will be better next month!

If you want to sign up to get the October box you can do so here. 

Until next time :) xx

September Lust Have It FaB box!!!!

I just received my September Lust Have It Fashion and Beauty box in the mail and just had to show you all!!

I've written about Lust Have It's beauty boxes before but they have recently introduced a new subscription box, which comprises both fashion and beauty items.

It costs $35 a month and you get 5 fashion or beauty items and an exclusive tote bag delivered to your door. The September box was the introductory box and has now sold out, but you can still sign up to receive the October box here!!!

What's inside??

This month the box was sponsored by DURI and contained the following AMAZEBALLS spring fashion items!!

1. Lust Have It limited edition tote bag: This one has a pale pink, blue and green design (perfect for spring) and says "love your style". RRP: $12.95

2. FaB Aztec print scarf: Gorgeous orange, green, blue, red Aztec print, very trendy and perfect for spring and summer. RRP: $24.95

3. DURI nail enamel in 599 Call Me Maybe: This nail polish is a gorgeous neon peach colour, which will, once again be perfect for spring! RRP: $18 (15ml)

4. DURI nail enamel in 112S Pie in the Sky Green: another gorgeous spring colour - mint green. I can't wait to combine these two nail colours and create some really pretty designs! RRP: $18 (15ml)

5. FaB Tassel necklace: This is a gorgeous, long statement necklace in gold and pink. RRP: $19.95

6. FaB Mint green watch (Geneva watches): I absolutely love this watch. It's a beautiful mint green colour with rose gold hardware. So pretty!! RRP: $29.95

Overall all I am so impressed with this box and have already subscribed to continue receiving them! The items are all gorgeous and perfect for spring and it is definitely worth the $35!!! Amazing value!
I would definitely recommend this fashion and beauty box!

Until next time :) xx

Christmas Nails!

Christmas Series #4

I've been embracing the Christmas spirit on my nails lately and thought I would share some of the different combinations I've been trying recently.
So far I've kept it pretty simple, just colour and a glitter top coat but I think through the week I will give something a little more detailed a try!!

This first one in Loreal's Lady Luck and Revlon's Sparkle. 

Please ignore the terrible photo and excess polish. I don't know what I was thinking haha!

And this one is China Glaze 866 Four leaf Clover with Revlon's sparkle and NYX 166 Grand Royal. 

My Instagram skills have improved in the last week and I cleaned up the polish before I took the picture!!

Let me know if you have done or seen any great christmas nail tutorials I could try out!!

StyleTread Epic SALE Haul!!!

Styletread is having a massive sale. And when I say massive, I mean MASSIVE, possibly the best sale they have ever had!!!

For anyone not from Australia style tread is a website that sells a huge variety of shoes, bags and accessories for men, women and children.

I absolutely love this website but I only really buy when they have a sale on because otherwise items are full price so you might as well buy them in store so you don't have to wait for postage.

What is really great about this website is that you can buy shoes in a few different sizes or styles, try them on at home and then send the ones you don't want back for a full refund.

On non sale items postage and return postage is free.

On sale items there is a $6.95 flat shipping rate, which is still amazingly good!!

So heres what I bought at the sale!!

1. BearPaw black Ugg boots - $25.90
I haven't owned Ugg boots since I was about 14 years old but since I am going to the UK and Europe in January and that involves a 36 hour flight, as well as my first experience of EPICALLY cold weather, I thought I would invest in a pair.
These are great, they seem really sturdy and well made, they are fluffy on the inside and incredibly warm!

2. Indy C cream square bangle - $4.90
I just thought this bangle was really cute and it is really different from anything I own. It's thick, and a really pretty cream, marble patterned Resin and every side has little gold and jewelled details. It's really pretty, modern and sophisticated and it was less that $5.00!!! AMAZING!

3. Indy C Leo hold all slouchy  handbag - $15.90
This is by far my fourite purchase in a long time. This bag is amazing. It's a lovely caramel brown colour with bronze/gold hardware and leopard print detailing. It's absolutely huge, meaning you can fit like your whole life in there and it has a long should or cross body strap as well as a smaller strap to carry it in your hand. This was also a purchase for my up coming Europe trip and I think it will be absolutely perfect. Another plus is that it was originally around $80.00 and I only paid $15.90!! Such a great bargain and an amazing bag!!

If you want to check out Styletread's amazing up to 80% off sale it is still on at the moment if you click here, but be quick because it has been on for a little while now so I don't now how much longer it will last. They have some seriously amazing deals!

What has been your favourite online sale recently?

Until next time :) xx

November Bellabox: Soiree Season Staples!!

So it is that time again! My Bellabox has arrived!! Well it actually arrived a while ago but I have been so busy I didn't even open it until a couple of days ago.

Just a quick update on these boxes, I have now unsubscribed to Lust Have It. It just wasn't as good as Bellabox and really didn't seem worth the money anymore. So I am now only subscribed to Bellabox and as usual, the November box does not disappoint!!



This months theme was Soiree Season Staples. That basically means all the essentials to get you through summer and the holiday season!

What's in the Box??

1. Bioderma Crealine H2O Cleansing water Sample 20ml
I received a sample of this in a previous beauty box and have used it a couple of times. I have heard a lot of negative things about it but I actually really liked it. It gets off all the makeup and because it is water based it doesn't leave your skin dry or tight.
RRP: 250ml $39.95

2. 4me nail polish remover pads FULL SIZE 30 pads 
These are a two-in-one nail product, they remove nail polish while conditioning nails and cuticles. They are acetone and alcohol free so they won't dry out or damage your nails.
RRP: $3.49

3. Swisse Hand Cream with Vitamin F and Pomegranate Sample 30ml 
I didn't even know Swisse made hand creams but alas, I now own one. haha. If you haven't heard of Swisse before they are a vitamin supplement company. This hand cream is lovely. Is moisturises without leaving a residue on your hands and it smells of citrus which is lovely.
RRP: 100ml $14.95

4. Palmolive Luscious Mango Body Butter Wash Sample 50ml
I have reviewed the Strawberry smoother version of this body wash in a previous post and I am absolutely in love with it! I am really excited to try  the mayo version, it smells lovely and fruity!
RRP: 400ml $6.49

5. Bloom Glitter Liquid Eyeliner in Star Gazer FULL SIZE
I received a different colour of this eyeliner in a previous box and used it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It goes on smoothly and looks amazing over black eyeliner. I got so many compliments on it so I am really excited to have another colour. This will be great for all those Christmas parties etc. coming up!.
RRP: $14.95

6. John Plunkett Essentials Multi-vitamin Moisturiser FULL SIZE
Another moisturiser packed with vitamins, which is exactly what you need after spending a few hours in that hot Aussie sun! It is for normal and sensitive skin and contains vitamins A, B3, B5, C and E.
RRP: $9.95

7. Skinmiso Pore Beauty Nose Pack Sample 1 sheet
This is a Korean product which is designed to remove blackheads, contract pores and control oil over the nose. I'm very keen to try this as I always have trouble with the skin on my nose over summer because it gets very oily causing it to break out.
RRP: 10 sheets $21.99

More Info:
Bellabox is a monthly subscription box which contains a variety of beauty rested items. The cost is $15 per month.

This month Bellabox is giving away a free moustache necklace with every purchase from their online store.

To subscribe, purchase products or for more information head to their website: www.bellabox.com.au

Until next time :) xxx

Nail Polish Haul Australia!!!!

So I've been online shopping again! (Surprise!! haha) This time I bought a few nail polishes from the website mbeautylounge.com. It's an America website that has a huge variety of nail polish brands, many of which are very difficult, if not impossible to find in Australia, at seriously discounted prices!

It's a great website, the only downsides are that shipping can be quite expensive and it also takes several weeks because nail polishes cannot be sent via airmail because they are flammable. But it is totally worth it for the massive savings and incredible range!

So here's what I bought:



China Glaze 866 Four Leaf Clover 
This is a gorgeous green colour, perfect for the holiday season!
Price: $4.85

China Glaze 955 Sunset Sail 
A lovely peachy nude colour, great for a more sophisticated summer look.
Price: $4.99

Essie 783 Play Date 
A lovely light purple.
Price: $7.10

Zoya ZP625 Zuza 
A gorgeous green with gold and silver sparkles through it, once again this will be an amazing colour for the holiday season!
Price: $6.60

Zoya ZP555 Keiko
A lovely deep purple which will be great for the cooler months.
Price: $6.40

Shipping cost: $18.98

I definitely recommend you head over to the website and check it out, they have a massive range of international nail polish brands really cheap, and new collections are added all the time!!

Where do you like to buy nail polish??

Until next time :) xxx

I ♥ Drugstore Makeup (Australian)!!!

In the interest of getting more into blogging I thought I would give another tag a go! I saw this one on http://beautifullyglossy.blogspot.com.au, so here it goes! 





1. What is your favorite drugstore makeup brand?
Hmmm it would have to be out of either Rimmel or Maybelline. I really can't choose between them! 
2. What are your favorite face, cheek and lip products? 
Face: Australis True Translucent Finishing Powder. This powder is AMAZING it matte-ifies your foundation and makes it last all day and it's totally translucent so it doesn't effect the colour of your face. All that and it's super cheap!!

Cheek: Lately I've been loving the Rimmel Match perfection blush in light. I talked about this in a recent haul and have really been loving it over the past couple of weeks. Because there are three different shades in the one blush I have been using the lightest shade as a highlight and the mixing all three as a blush. It gives great colour payoff and a very reasonable price compared to other blushes in Australia. 

Lip: Maybelline Colour sensational Lipstick in Pink Freeze. I have mentioned this a couple of times before and it is my favourite shade of al time! 

3. Least favorite product? 
That's a hard one, I haven't come across a lot of makeup products that I really hate as I try to do my research before I buy anything. One product I haven't been all that impressed by is the Rimmel BB cream. I have't used it many times but so far I don't think it really gives enough coverage for me. 

4. What is the best makeup bargain? 
Essence Stay With Me Lipgloss!!! These are amazing! You can read my full review here. But in short they give amazing colour payoff and are only around $4, which is AMAZING in Australia! 

5. What is your favorite underdog product? 
Once again the Essence lipgloss! I really don't think they get anywhere near enough attention in the beauty world because they really are awesome for the price. 

6. A drugstore product that is overpriced? 
Haha all makeup is overpriced in Australia but probably the worst is Loreal. 

7. Show your best drugstore dupe(s)!! 
I don't really own any high end products so I have no idea. 

8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype? 
Maybelline lip butters. They're nice but they are definitely not worth $20. The colour payoff isn't great and I didn't even think they made my lips feel any more moist or soft. I don't understand why people love them soooo much! 

Confessions of a Beauty Blogger TAG.

I saw this tag on 'Beauty Down Under' and thought I would give it a go, maybe you will learn something new about me. :) I know I'm not an established beauty blog yet, but I hope to be one day, so it could be interesting for me to do this tag again when I've been blogging for longer and see if anything has changed!!

So here goes: 


How many hours a week do you spend planning/writing/uploading posts? 

I don't really keep track of it, I really just blog when I feel like it or when I have a new idea. I suppose each post takes around an hour taking/finding photos, editing them, writing and then working on the layout for a bit.

Are you a spender or a saver
Definitely a spender!!! It's really, really, really bad!!! I always tell myself I'm going to save more and stop shopping so much but it never lasts long. Online shopping has definitely become my biggest frenemy!! 

When is it easiest for you to write your posts?
I really just do it when ever I feel like it. It's usually better if I write it ASAP after I get an idea, otherwise I tend to either forget or over-think it and convince myself i's a terrible idea. Blogging is really a spontaneous thing for me at the moment. 

What makes writing posts comfortable for you?

I just really love writing and web design etc. I'm studying journalism at University, so it really just comes naturally. It's what I love to do! 

What's your worst make up/hair habit?
Not getting my hair trimmed enough. I can just never be bothered and I always seem to find something more fun to spend my money on. I am very good at convincing myself that it doesn't really need to be trimmed, when it really, really, really does need it. (Like now!! haha it's been a while!)

What's one quote you wish the world would live by?"The probability that we may fail in the struggle need not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just"
- Abraham Lincoln

How long do you spend getting ready everyday?

At least an hour and a half. It's terrible, I know, but I'm just so indecisive. 

What's your favourite post on your blog?

Hmmm.... that's a good question. I think probably my October Favourites. It was my first time writing a post like that and it made me feel like I was a real blogger. Haha I don't know it just made me really excited to get this blog up and running!

Who is a beauty blogger that you think deserves more subscribers than they have?
http://animatedconfessions.blogspot.com  
I like her. But like I say, I am new to this world so I don't follow all that many blogs. 

What's one thing you're excited about in the coming year?

I am going to Europe in 6 weeks!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!! Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice, London, Amsterdam, Heidelberg.... I CAN"T WAIT!!! Also, graduating University this time next year! :)

What's been your favourite blogging moment?

Getting my first follower. I only have two, but I'm just glad those two people actually want to read my blog!! I can only hope there are more to come! 

How long does it take to prep for a post?

I don't really prep, like I said it's fairly spontaneous! I just get an idea and off I go!! 

Are you wearing jeans/skirt right now or are you wearing pajama bottoms?
Pyjamas!!! hahaha!!! 

What are you most proud of in your life?
Finishing high school and going to University. I was the first person in my family to do that so that feels pretty awesome! 

I TAG EVERYONE!!!! :)
If you do the tag, leave a link to it in the comments, I'd love to read yours!! :)

Until next time :) xx

Christmas gifts for mum!!

Christmas Series #1

Wondering what to get for the woman who gave you life this Christmas? Here are a few ideas to get you started.

My dad, brother and I are all putting in to get mum an iPad which is a great gift idea if you have a few people to go in together, or if your just ridiculously rich! haha. Tablets are becoming so popular these days so as long as your mum has some technological knowledge it could be a really good idea.

If your looking for something a little cheaper here are some other ideas;




1. If she has a tablet computer or smartphone you could consider buying some Apps for her that you think she'd like and downloading them for her on Christmas morning.

Alternatively you could get an iTunes voucher.







2.  Buy her a subscription to her favourite magazine. If your mum if anything like my mum, she'll love cooking/recipe magazines. Or maybe she is more into celebrity mags or lifestyle publications such as the Australian Women's Weekly. Whatever the topic, it'll be a gift that keeps on giving, and you'll be in the good books all the way until next Christmas. (Always a plus haha.)




3. If you think your mum works too hard perhaps you could treat her to some relaxation products. I try to avoid the stock-standard gift packs as they are almost always over-priced and usually come with at least one item that is fairly useless (a bar of soap anyone?)
I find it to bed a more personal gift if I go to a store such as The Body Shop or Lush and select a few individual products that I think she would benefit from. The usual favourites include hand creams, bath bombs, night creams etc.
Just be careful of anything that claims to be 'anti-ageing' or 'anti-wrinkle' as some people may be offended by this and you don't want to be the one who starts the all-out massive family brawl on Christmas day.

4. On the relaxation theme, you could purchase a voucher for a facial/massage/spa day. If your close with your mum you could book a mother/daughter day to make it even more special.

5. Books are always another favourite and given we are living in the 21st Century, you could consider Ebooks as they tend to be slightly cheaper and are easy to read on the go.



These are just a few suggestions of things that always impress my mum.

What are you getting your mum for Christmas this year?

What's your all-time favourite gift?

Until next time :) xxx

This week I've been pinning...

I have decided to do a weekly post (every Sunday) to show you the things I have been pinning on Pinterest that week. 

Week One!

In an effort to cheer myself up in the lead up to my final exam for the year I pinned quite a few quotes. 

Then after my exam was over I got in the mood to do some redecorating (more on that soon) and started pinning some inspirational designs. 

And finally, getting into the swing of spring (ahhh alliteration, how nice) I posted a number of my favourite spring/summer fashions. 

Let me know what you love to pin in the comments :)

You can follow me Pinterest here: pinterest.com/loveb4h8 

Until next time :) xxx
