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'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!!

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

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

September Fun and Flirty Lust Have It!!!

The September Lust Have It box is finally here!!

I have to say I was a little disappointed this month, as I have been the last couple of months. When I first subscribed to Lust Have It and Bellabox, I thought Lust Have It was going to be my favourite, but it has really been all down hill from there.
This month there were no full sized products, and I don't think there have been for a while.
There were also only five products this month and all very small sizes. It was very sparse.
I've decided I am going to give Lust Have It one more month and if I'm not happy with the October box, I will be unsubscribing.

But alas, here is a snapshot of the September Lust Have It box.

THE ISSUES
I have been subscribes to Bellabox for four months now and have never had a problem. Usually I would receive the box within two days of it's release. However, this month I still hadn't receved it about a week after, when Bellabox published the contents of the box on their Facebook page.
I looked on my Bellabox account an the september box had not shown up in 'my orders', meaning that it had not been shipped, however the money had come out of my account.
I emailed customer service, twice, but they did eventually get back to me. They said there had been some sort of system error which had meant that while my payment had gone through successfully my order was never actually placed.
While all of this was rather disappointing, they did respond very well. They sent me an apology Email, sent my box out straight away and added a few extra products to apologise for the inconvenience.
Overall, I thought their response was excellent after an unfortunate mis hap.

THE EXTRAS
These are the extra products I received as an apology:

1. Single use samples of Pangea Organics - Japanese Matcha Tea with Acai & Goji Berry facial mask, Turkish rose and white tea eye cream, italian red mandarin with rose facial cream and Australian Wild plum & willow Facial cleanser.
2. 15ml Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle, oil free scrub
3. Full size yes to carrots, conditioning lip butter with SPF 15 in Pomegranate.

THE WEBSITE
www.bellabox.com.au
$15 a month subscription service.
One box per month filled with 5-6 high-end health and beauty products in a mixture of sample and full size.

Until next time :) xx
