November BellaBox - READY. SET. GLOW!

Long time no see... This time of the year gets so busy! I love it but.

I got my BellaBox today and it is a summer based box. I really like what I've gotten this month. It so so worth the money.


1. Laqa and Co Cheeky Lip - Cray Cray Double-up with this handy little 2-in-1 crayon, which can be applied to both year cheeks and lips for a pop of colour! With an easy to use twist up stick, the creamy lightweight formula glides onto lips or cheeks and is easily blended. The bright, flirty hue has great colour pay-off and is perfect for the day and night! RRP $35.00 Available at bellabox.com.au
I love this product. It is a colour and has great payoff.



2. NYX Baked Eye Shadow Get creative with your makeup look with this bold, fun and highly pigmented eye shadow by NYX. The lightweight eye colour really packs in the pigments and the unique baked formula blends seamlessly for an incredible finish! RRP $9.99 Eye shadow exlusive to bellabox. Shop the NYX range at target.com.au
The packaging to this is so cute with the little bow on top. The colour look beautiful in the packaging, It has a very nice payoff. I did think it was going to be better but I think I really had my standard too high. NYX is a great brand and so cheap :)


3. Redwin Coconut Balm Nourish your lips naturally with this coconut balm enriched with papaya extract and jojoba oil deep hydration. It also protects and restores softness to your lips. This versatile balm can be used on cracked skin, cuts, burns and bites! 25g RRP $5.99 Available at redwin.com.au and Priceline.
This smells so good! The coconut is very strong and it's a nice thick moisturising. It is however a little sticky.

4. Ulta3 Nail Polish Expand your nail polish collection with the huge range of colours from ulta3. The salon quality enamel is long lasting, so you can take your professional manicure into your own home. RRP $2.30 (regular nail polish), RRP $5.00 (pro nails) Both available at ulta3.com.au
I got a really weird green colour. I'm also not a massive fan of this brand. You need a lot of coats to get good coverage and I don't have time for that. This is probably my least favourite item in this box.

5. Sebamed Liqid Face & Body Wash With moisturising vitamins and amino acids this face and body wash gently cleanses without drying the skin. It also helps maintain the skin moisture balance and protective barrier with the pH of 5.5 - the same oH of healthy skin! 300ml RRP $14.95 Available at sebamed.com.au and pharmacyonline.com.au
I have never heard of this brand before but I am really excited to try this. It smells so clean.

BONUS
Bic Soleil Glow Razor 3 pack RRP $7.50 Available at Coles, Kmart and IGA
This is a cool bonus. Razors get expensive.

BELLABOX TRIES
Carefree Ultra Thins Regular
10 pack RRP $4.29 Available at Chemist Warehouse, Priceline, Coles and Woolworths
This is also a very handy sample.


As I said before, I'm very happy with this box. I think Bellabox has new owners now and it seems like they are putting a lot more effort into the boxes now.

Mummy Tag

Busy Busy Busy. I have not posted in too long. Sorry I defiantly have to get back into it. Its been a busy month. Here is a little Tag to get me back into it. I found this tag on http://lindsandbaby.blogspot.com.au/


Tag Questions:

1. Are you a SAHM or working mom?  
Working Mummy. I work four days a week. 7.30-5ish :) but Axl goes to an amazing home daycare and my husband is home with him one of the days too. Very lucky :)

2. Would you have it any other way? 
Obviously I would love to stay home with my little man but being able to provide for him and not have him miss out on too much is important to me. 3 days would be better but this is what we need to do. 

3. Do you co-sleep? No. He is a very independent sleeper. Since about 6 months old he will only fall asleep in his bed by myself. He great but I do miss the snuggles sometimes.

4. One must have gear for baby?  I would have to say the one thing that I would recommend to everyone is a baby wrap or just any type of baby wearing. It was so helpful and so nice and comforting. I used a moby wrap and loved it.

5. How many kids do you plan on having? 2

6. Date night? How many nights (or day) per month? 
hmmm my husband and I don't go on date nights. We do have nights out but that is with friends about once a month. We really do enjoy going on dates with our little man. How lucky for me.. I have to men taken me out. Just means no movies dates. I do miss those. Maybe one day soon.

7. Your child's favourite show? Easy... minions!!!

8. Name 1 thing you brought before you had your baby and you never ended up using? Nothing really. I don't think we over purchased. If anything I would say we probably still haven't used all the blankets. You get a lot of blankets.

9. Your child's favourite food? Boobie??? He gets so excited for milk. But food would be chocolate. Unhealthy and he doesn't get it that often but that's defiantly his favourite.

10. How many cars does your family have?  2 cars

11. Weight gain before pregnancy, during and after, and now? I gained 16kgs I think. I lost most of it and have been +2 to 3kgs on my prepregancy weight since giving birth.

12. Dream vacation with your kiddos? Disney!

13. Dream vacation without the kiddos? Back to Thailand. We went there on our honeymoon.

14. How has your life changed since your baby has been born? The biggest thing that has changed is I talk about him all the time. I feel sorry for my friends without children haha I never have a day without him (apart from work). Life is busy and fun!! No more boring days.

15. Finish the sentence: "It makes my heart melt to see......" axl learning something new.
It's so amazing watching them learn. It's unreal how smart they are!

16. Where do you shop for your kids? Big W and Target $5 racks since he is a boy and everything is stained!!

17. Favourite make-up and skin care products? I buy alot of MAC!

18. Huggies or pampers ? Huggies but I buy the Aldi brand nappies. Huggies always from newborns though.

19. Have you always wanted kids? 
Yes.

20. Best part about being a mom? 
The love. It is such a different type of love and its unreal.

Please let me know if you have done this tag. I would love to read them.
