Last month I did my first post on the beauty subscription box Bellabox, which if you're a beauty fanatic you've no doubt heard of before. They were kind enough to send over their December edition, and so I thought I'd do a little unboxing and see what goodies they put together this month for the festive season.
If I'm honest, this is probably the item that had me most excited for this month. Each box this month had one of four different STYLondon eyeshadow palettes. I received the Sloane palette, which has a beautiful range of neutral shades, as well as some pink and gold hues, with a sprinkle of shimmer thrown in; the perfect palette to take from day to night.
This is a brand I've never tried before, and I'm always eager to test out new haircare products to see how my temperamental hair reacts. The shampoo contains active botanicals and keratin to help improve the overall quality of your hair and help it lock in moisture. The conditioner has jojoba oil, beet extract and corn starch to help detangle and moisturise your hair and make it silky smooth. These little bottles would also be perfect for travel.
With summer well and truly here in Australia, I've been seeing this stuff everywhere on Instagram at the moment, so I'm keen to give these two little samples a go. It's the latest product from La Roche-Posay; their 50+ facial sunscreen. As someone who is quite fair under this fake tan, I'm all about lathering on that sunscreen, especially on my face. One part of keeping youthful looking skin is about keeping it protected from sun damage, so the higher the SPF, the more keen I am to lather it all over my body (and face).
These have me so intrigued and I can't wait to put them to the test. I've seen products like this floating around online a little, but basically they are small patches that you pop on a blemish and leave overnight. The idea is that in the morning, when you take them off, the blemish will be drastically reduced, if not totally gone. I'll have to keep you posted on whether these truly work.
There had to be a makeup related item in here somewhere, and there is nothing I need more in the summer time than a good primer. I've never come across this brand before, but I'm always keen to try out something that is all organic and natural. This primer aims to not only fill in lines and wrinkles to help give you a super smooth canvas to work with, it also contains Rosa Damascena Flower Waters, Chamomile, Aloe Vera and Calendula extracts which help to hydrate your skin, which helps naturally keep fine lines and wrinkles at bay; hello anti-aging.
