It's halfway through December... 10 days until Christmas and i've not done a thing!

I did manage to however go to the post office and pick up the December BellaBox and film a video for you :) Enjoy! As always see below for info on the prodz in the box.

Overall Thoughts... WOWZA! 4 out of the 5 products this month were full size which is beyond amazing! I also like that BellaBox are including products from not so heard of brands. Looking forward to using the nail polish (tonight!) and the concealer looks interesting to me as well.

If you're interested in subscribing to BellaBox, it's a $14.95/month fee to receive a box of 5 or so deluxe samples (or in some cases like this box, full size products)

The 1st Australian Glossybox!

Glossybox is new to Australia, well sort of! The Beauty Box basically turned into Glossybox and what a makeover... I am so pleased with the contents of this box, it is probably the best one i've opened so far (and i've opened a few!).

 They all sound fabulous and i'm sure i'll be signing up to all of them, but just keep a few things in mind.

• The products aren't always going to suit your skin concerns or complexion etc so be prepared to have a few products you'll need to give away to other people


• Signing up to every single service could be more expensive then buying a few full size products a month. So be savvy about it. From what i've seen you can cancel your subscription on the services if you do a monthly subscription so this is always an option.

I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of these new sample services and i'll be sure to show you all the loot when my first box arrives.
