BellaBox November reveal/review



Love it when you here the door bell and it’s the mail man… Even better when he hands you that same shaped box you get every month. Bellabox is here!! Woop Woop. I think the mail man thinks I’m nuts but I do a little dance when he hands me it haha.

Anyway back to this month’s sample heaven. This month has a good mix of things actually, from eye makeup to nail polish.

As you can see from the pic below I got some different brands I’ve never heard of (I am a novice of makeup and beauty products so don’t sue me haha) so it was an interesting time playing around with them.






The product I liked the best this month would be…..
Surprisingly enough it isn’t the nail polish (not saying I didn’t hate it, but getting Kester Black polish in red last month and then getting another red polish this month wasn’t something I needed)

But I choose: The Coastal Scents eye shadow palette. 


The colours are me shades and they appear to be very good quality so tick tick

So thats November done can't wait for December xoxox

Provocalips by Rimmel London

Seeing as I'm no makeup person and don't know my eye crayon from my eye liner trying out makeup can be a bit hit and miss for me.
Having sensitive skin has hindered a lot of my makeup exploration during my life like foundation is normally off my list and I only bring it out for super special occasions and never wear it to work so when CotyPRAustralia asked if I wanted to try these lipsticks (I'm hoping thats what the makeup peeps call these) I was slightly apprehensive as I thought that maybe someone else in the makeup industry would be more useful to try these out...
But I'm so glad I did, these are heaven.

Apart from having slightly sensitive skin I'm also not a morning person. My precious time in the morning is normally spent sleeping in that extra 10 minutes rather than slapping on makeup. I tend to do the "oh crap I'm in the car park at work and still haven't put on my only makeup, mascara and look like a dork peering into the rear vision mirror apply it hurriedly" person. (Please tell me I'm not the only that does this???)
So this week I hurriedly not only applied my staple mascara I hurriedly applied one of these gems. In under 2 minutes my face looked like I had made an effort for once. I didn't get looks of shock from anyone at work so I must have not looked that bad so big thumbs up Rimmel. haha
Application was easy- apply the colour, wait a minute without touching lips (this can seem a lifetime when you are rushed but trust me- wait-  other wise it goes all clumpy), then apply the top coat sealy thingy and done!! Sexy lips u have now got.
My favourite for my skin type was "dare to pink" and I will be using this for the rest of my life I think.
I hate reapplying even lipgloss so this no-budge lipstick is for me.
Lasted through 3-4 cups of tea, lunch (sandwich and drink), and also exercise. Taking it off can be tricky but I took it off with some cheap baby oil.
Thanks CotyPrAustralia for sending these to me, you have converted me to the makeup world :-)

Cheers,
Kim
