Zoeva Rose Golden Luxury Brush Set

Zoeva brushes are becoming increasingly well-known among the blogging and YouTube community, and I thought it was about time I bought some. The quality of Zoeva brushes are supposedly comparable to MAC and Sigma, but at a fraction of the price. I thought I would share some photos with you guys today, because these brushes are just too beautiful not to. After I've used these brushes for a little bit I'll be sure to do an updated post on how I liked them, but for now you can just lust after them based solely on looks. Seriously though, are these not the prettiest makeup brushes you've ever seen?

I ordered my set straight off the Zoeva website, and it came to $94AUD including shipping and conversion rates. For 8 brushes and a beautiful clutch, that's a bargain! They took around a week to arrive here in Australia, and they were coming from Germany. I've used these brushes once so far, and I'm head over heels already! So stay tuned, you will definitely be hearing more about these in the future. For now though, enjoy the photos. 

Brushes included in the set:

Face:

102 Silk Finish - apply foundation

106 Powder - for loose and pressed powder

110 Face Shape - for contouring

127 Luxe Sheer Cheek - for blush

142 Concealer Buffer - apply concealer 

Eyes:

227 Soft Definer - packing on and blending eyeshadow

231 Petit Crease - blending through the crease 

317 Wing Liner - for liner

Lust Have It! : April 2014

The month of Lust Have It's new packaging has finally arrived! Instead of arriving in the old, and a little un-exciting packaging, it has arrived in a cute little plastic makeup style bag that can be used to hold whatever your heart desires. Instead of packaging that serves no real purpose, this may actually come in handy for some, and I have already gotten use out of mine. 

What's in the box?

Glamourflage Molly Minx Glitter Gel - RRP $14.95 (I received a full size)

This little product is so interesting. It's basically a cream shimmer gel that can be used on your eyes, cheeks, neck, chest, and even on the tops of your feet! It adds a pretty, but subtle, shimmer highlight to your look and makes quite a bit of difference. It also smells really lovely and is so moisturising as it contains 7 different moisturisers such as shea butter, cacao butter, lanolin, beeswax and vitamin e. 

Claytime 100% Pure Mineral Bronzer - RRP $29.95 (I received a full size)

I've actually never come across, or used, a loose bronzer before, they have always been pressed. So this really stood out to me. I haven't used it yet, but I am excited to. It seems like such a lovely, and natural, bronzer. 

Bioderma Atoderm Cream - RRP $29.95 (I received a sample size)

I've never tried anything from Bioderma before, shocking I know, so was happy to see this little product. However, I have so many face moisturisers that I was a little bummed to see that. In saying that, I'm sure it will get used up one way or another.

Wotnot Natural Organic Facial Wipes - RRP $7.95 for 25 wipes (I received a sample size)

This was the one product I was not excited for, as I find the wipes for sensitive skin have far too much product on them and leave my skin feeling so congested and like it needs to be washed. I'll end up using them at some point, because I may as well, but these ones aren't my favourite. In saying that, I have tried the wipes for oily skin (in green packaging instead of pink), and they were really lovely to use. 

Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion - RRP $9.99 (I received a sample size)

Once again, nothing too overly exciting about a moisturiser, but as it's getting colder they do come in handy, so this will no doubt end up in my handbag as a 'just in case'. 

Lust Have It! $19.95 per month*

So that's everything I received in my Lust Have It! box this month. I also did a video all about it on my YouTube channel so you can go and watch that here. Also, you guys can receive $5 off your first box just be using the code 'samindigo' when you checkout, so if you're interested in signing up you can visit their website here. 

Hope you're all having a lovely day!

Review: Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

Micellar waters have been quite popular for a few years now, and it was only when they finally made their way into the drugstore that I decided to buy one, mainly because the others were just a bit too pricey for me. As I have been using the Garnier micellar water for a little over a month now, I thought it was time that I reviewed it for you guys. 

Essentially a micellar water is just a magic water that breaks down your makeup and removes it all easily. It's supposed to be better for your skin than using makeup wipes, and can be used just to refresh your face if you don't need a heavy duty cleanser. This product is pretty much the same thing as Bioderma, but a fraction of the price. I honestly love everything about this product. It breaks my makeup down so well and so easily, has no perfume in it so doesn't irritate my skin or eyes, it hasn't caused me to break out more either, and can we please just talk about the packaging. I am in love! It's incredible value for money, and you get a decent amount of product - 400mls. I use this on a large cotton pad before I actually cleanse my face at night and am a total cleansing water convert. If you're on the hunt for a micellar water I definitely recommend this one, as it's suitable for all skin types. It does everything it's supposed to do, and leaves your skin feeling a lot cleaner and ready to go. Good job Garnier! 

You can buy this from places such as Priceline, Kmart, Big W, Coles and so on, and it retails for about $11.99

Bellabox: April 2014

As I have recently gotten the hang of uploading to YouTube, I decided that I would make this regular, and favourite, post a video instead! So if you would like to see all the treats that I received in my Bellabox this month be sure to go and watch the unboxing style of video that I did, where you see my absolute honest first impressions of everything! And let me tell you, I was quite pleased with my box this month! Hopefully you like that I've done this as a video this month, because I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

Monday Stuff #5

It's been a little while since I last did a 'stuff' post, so I thought it was well overdue. I decided to have a little pamper evening tonight and these were a few products that made an appearance. I love that the weather is getting colder as it means baths are actually possible without overheating, so I expect I'll be having a lot more pamper evenings from here on in. Don't forget to leave me a comment of some of your pamper evening favourites for me to try out.

Re-Gen Cream

This is one of my skincare staples of the night time, but one that I do love dearly, and even more so now that it's getting colder and my skin needs a bit more hydration through the night. I use this to help with scarring/pigmentation and blemishes and I do like it quite a bit. 

Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Polish

I recently bought this and it was love at first sight. Using this feels so heavenly and it smells lovely and leaves my skin feeling so nourished. I can already tell it's going to be a firm favourite and I can't wait to try more from Soap & Glory in the future. 

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with vitamin e & peppermint

I actually got this in my Bellabox this morning (and a video of my Bellabox unboxing will go up on my YouTube channel here in a few days time) so was eager to try it straight away. So far, so good. I like the peppermint in it because it makes my lips tingle, and it feels really moisturising which is exactly what you would expect from Burt's Bees! 

I Love...Strawberries & Milkshake Bubble Bath

No pamper evening is complete without a bubble bath, and this was another recent purchase that I was wanting to try out. It smells so sweet and lovely, makes a decent amount of bubbles, and leaves the water feeling soft on my skin and smelling divine. Definitely impressed with this treat! 

SIDE NOTE: I have recently started uploading videos again on my YouTube channel which makes me very excited and very happy, so be sure to go and subscribe if you want to because I will actually be using it and uploading regularly this time. Your support would be much appreciated, thanks lovelies. You can click here to subscribe!

The Face Mask Round-Up

In all honesty, who doesn't love a good face mask? Face masks are such a wonderful thing, and should be done two to three times a week as part of your skincare regime. In this post I thought I would share some of my face masks that I love with you guys. Be sure to recommend your favourites to me as well in the comments below. 

Natio Clay and Plant Face Mask Purifier 
This face mask smells quite botanical and is really runny upon application, so take care when squeezing it out - I had to learn the hard way! Though it does dry quite fast and isn't impossible to work with. Once dry it has a clay like look and feel to it. I wouldn't say it has drastically changed my life, but I do enjoy using it, and I do feel as though it works. It's relatively inexpensive and easy to get a hold of. 

The Body Shop Tea Tree Face Mask
I have been using this every week for about 8 months now, and I still have so much product left, so it is well worth the money (not that it's too expensive). Overtime I would say this has helped my breakouts and the overall appearance of my skin, and I couldn't bear to think of parting ways with it anytime soon. As this is a treatment mask it is recommended that you only use this once a week, and that's what I do. It definitely cools instantly and feels really refreshing. 

Formula 10.0.6 Deep Down Detox Ultra-Cleansing Mud Mask
I've been using this on and off for probably almost a year now, and I do like it. I don't use it every single week, but rather every now and then as I prefer my Natio one. However, I do like to use this when I feel like my skin is really tired and dull as this helps to brighten it and awaken it. It has quite a strong smell, so be wary of that, but I think that helps to reawaken my senses. 

Skin Vitals T-Purify Sheet Mask
I picked this up on a whim in Priceline one day as I absolutely adore sheet masks. Prior to buying it I had never heard of the brand before, but was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked. The cloth had a lot of moisture and product on it, which was good, and it was cooling on my skin. It did clarify my skin, but didn't do anything too drastic in terms of my blemishes. Overall it's not bad, but I'm not in a mad hurry to pick up some more.

Thoughts On: Bellabox (March Box)

The month of new Bellabox packaging has finally arrived, and I could not be happier! Overall the old packaging wasn't awful, but there were definitely some shockers along the way. I am pleased to announce that all boxes are now sent out in the brand new (and beautiful) boxes, and will continue to do so from now on. 

It's been about a month or so since I last did a 'thought's on' post for Bellabox, so I thought now was the perfect time to. This months theme was 'beauty diaries', and aims to be a sneak peek into some well-loved beauty experts diaries, and sharing their favourite products with us. So let's have a little look inside my box shall we...

Model Co Party Proof Cream Lipstick in Splendourful (full size) - RRP $16.95

The colour I got was a bright orange, and while I have no problem wearing orange lipstick, I have a feeling this particular shade is going to be a little bit harder to work with. Seems to be standard Model Co quality, nothing amazing, but nothing too awful either. I will definitely report back! 

St Tropez Gradual Tan in Medium/Dark (sample size) - RRP $33.95

St Tropez is a tanning brand that everyone knows and loves - definitely falling into the cult product category. I've actually never tried anything from them before, so if I manage to pluck up the courage I'll definitely give it a go. 

Dermalogica Clear Start Oil Clearing Matte Moisturizer (sample size) - RRP $27.50

This was my favourite thing that I received as I have been looking into the Clear Start range from Dermalogica for a little while now, particularly a cleanser and this moisturiser. To be able to test this out before spending my money on the full size makes me very happy. 

Wotnot Facial Wipes for Oily/Sensitive Skin (sample size) - RRP $7.95

Facial wipes are pretty standard, but these sound really lovely. I'm actually going on a holiday to Queensland soon so these will definitely be coming with me! 

Pantene Aqua Light Shampoo and Conditioner (sample size) - RRP $7.99 each

I often hear mixed reviews about Pantene's shampoos and whether they're actually good to use or not, but as I'll be travelling soon I'll just take these because their size is perfect. I should also say that they smell divine, so fresh and lovely. When I first opened my box I got a whiff of it and only thought lovely things. 

Bonus: Natralus Pure Paw Paw Gel (sample sachet) - RRP $9.95

Ah, the dreaded sachets are back! I pretty much hate all sachets so this will go into my drawer with all my others, sorry. 

And there we have it, another month of Bellabox done and dusted. I do hope that you guys find these posts helpful! Remember if there are any products that you'd like to see a more in-depth review of, just let me know in the comments below. If you're interested in subscribing to Bellabox it is $15 a month, and you can check out their website here. Hope you've all had a lovely day and have a fabulous rest of the week.
