April Bellabox Review

I have been getting the Australian Bellabox since November or December. Some months are better than others, but not once have I been disappointed. I read bad comments and reviews on Bellabox all the time, but I just think those people have too high expectations. I love receiving a surprise beauty box each month, it's always something exciting to look forward to.

Yes To Carrots C Me Shine Lip Gloss
I'm not a fan of the smell of this or the applicator and I haven't used it so I might give it to a friend.

Marc Daniels Blue Cypress Blonde Smooth Ends Treatment

This stuff smells so nice! This immediately made me want to use this as soon as possible. It is very conditioning, and made my hair really soft when it was dry. It tones my hair slightly (not so much that's it's incredibly noticeable- which I like because I didn't want my hair colour to change). This product does everything it claims, and I think $12.99 is very affordable, especially for the amount you get.

Nivea Lip Butter - Caramel Cream

I've honestly wanted to buy this forever, but every time I see it I just glance at it and then walk past. Don't ask me why.. but I am so glad I received it in my box. It's caramel scented- although to me it smells like buttered popcorn (which is amazing) and it is extremely moisturising and lasts on the lips for a while before having to reapply. I definitely will be repurchasing this one and the other scents. I'm not sure how I feel about the packaging though, I much prefer lip balms in tubes over this tin and getting the product all over my fingers.

Pure Therapy Gentle Soap Free Body Cleanser

The smell is too overly 'fresh/clean' scented, but I don't mind too much. This is a good shower gel if you just want a shower gel for it's main purpose of cleansing your skin. If you want something that smells good then search elsewhere. 

Joico Colour Endure Violet Shampoo & Conditioner

Honestly this product really did nothing for me- I used it once and then threw out the packets.

Nourish Anti Itch Lotion

Yet to use.

Overall, I liked this months box but it wasn't one of the best ones I've received. I am so happy with the lip butter and the hair treatment so I'm happy.

Do you get a monthly Bellabox? What do you think of it? x

Mac lipsticks - patisserie and creme cup

I spent so long reading various beauty blogs and reviews on the best pale pink, nudes, or 'your lips but better' Mac lipsticks. I haven't always been a big nude or pale pink lipstick wearer, but recently I have just felt like leaning more towards those colours, and less towards reds and darker or brighter pinks.

I picked up both creme cup and patisserie. When opening these up, I really liked the look of both of these but I thought I would like patisserie more (lustre - sheer creamy neutral pink). It's very soft and moisturising on the lips, but isn't very long wearing (which I don't really mind.. for such a light colour at least).
Patisserie is a really nice nude colour, with a slight pink sheen to it. But I am loving creme cup (cremesheen - light blue pink) the best out of these two. This colour is slightly more pale and more pink than my lip colour, and is more long wearing.

Do you own either of these lipsticks? What are your opinions on these? x
