Bellabox Singapore: NOVEMBER 2013 BEAUTY RETREAT

Hi everyone! Before I start with the unboxing proper I want to vent out a little first...

I want to say that I was a bit disappointed with this month’s box and how it was delivered to me. Here’s how it all went down: I got an email from Bellabox on 13^th Nov telling me that my box will be delivered on the 18^th (the following Monday). I waited the whole day of 18^th Nov but did not receive my box. I waited the next day and still did not get it. So the following day, 20^th Nov, I decided to drop them an email about my box and it was only then that they told me it would be delivered on the 25^th (another Monday). I just got a little bit annoyed that I had to even ask. Tsk. I let that go easily.

I then got an SMS from their shipping company informing me of the time schedule of the delivery. I was told it would be between 5PM-8PM. I thought that was fine because my hubby and I would already be home by that time. But NO! At around 12:20PM, I got a call from the delivery staff telling me they’re at our gate and asking if I was home. I said I was not so the girl offered to just leave the box at our gate and asked me to call her when I got it. I was stunned. I didn’t know what to say, so I just answered, “ok” and the line went dead. My hubby and I looked at each other with a “what will happen to the box?” kind of look. I had to check on my housemate to see if he could probably get the box for me. Agh. Hassle!

I mean what’s the point of the delivery time slot we chose on Bellabox website and the time schedule given by the shipping/delivery company if it won’t be followed anyway? Receiving this month’s box was a big hassle for me. I’m now thinking if I’m still gonna continue next month. Sigh.

Alright! Enough of the ranting and let’s start with the unboxing. Here are the items I got:

LYNCACARE MINERAL TRUE COLORS

5ml / S$29.90

Multipurpose cosmetics – our favorites! This silky smooth pigment is your all-in-one makeup color for your lips, eyes, cheeks, nails, hair or body. To be used individually or as an enhancer for other cosmetics.

Initial Reaction: It’s a very subtle highlight color in my opinion. It’s something I might use on (what I’d like to think as) my cheekbones (I really need to go on diet real soon, lol) and on my brow bone. I can also use it on my inner tear ducts to brighten up my eye look.

HEE ETERNITY HYDRO-GEL MASK 24K GOLD+SYN-AKE

3 per box / S$33

Pamper your skin – top to bottom – in 24K pure gold, Syn-Ake and the latest Korean patented beauty technology! Melt hydrogel mask into hot water after use, and sok your hands and feet for a holistic beauty experience!

Initial Reaction: Another mask. End of the story. Hahaha. Seriously, my mask stash is already full!

TWISTBAND HAIR TIES

Set of 3 / S$10.95

Initial Reaction: This is my third time receiving this. No comment.

BELLABOX POUT PENCIL

2.4g / S$17.80

This highly pigmented hot pink lip crayon is enriched with Vitamin E and Beeswax for a smooth and hydrated pout. Tis long-lasting shade is all you need for a classic bella fun time. Pinky promise!

Initial Reaction: I’m a lippie girl so, of course I like it. And I don’t have this color yet in my collection (or maybe I do? Ooops!). It glides on smoothly and it’s not drying on the lips. I need to tone it down though to be more suited for a daytime look.

LIERAC PREMIUM COMPLETE ANTI-AGING

EXTREME REGENERATING SERUM

30ml / S$258

This extravagant anti-aging serum contains 10% pure hyaluronic acid solution that will help restore and condition your skin back to its former glory. Proven to improve overall skin complexion after 2 weeks with a 99% anti-aging effect after just 1 month.

Initial Reaction: It looks very promising and it is also very expensive for me, hahaha. I looked in the mirror and frowned - my skin’s former glory? I can’t even remember the day my skin declared war, what more trying to remember how my skin looks in its former glory. I guess that’s how long my skin’s been acting up and I’m beginning to lose hope, hahaha. If this product will work, my pockets might go crazy. Oh well!

BONUS: LIERAC PREMIUM DAY & NIGHT VOLUPTUOUS CREAM

15ml / S$78

Battle aging round the clock with the premium cream! It helps to combat the nasty signs of aging with B-Relaxor complex while enriching your skin’s appearance as the same time with its enriching nutritive complex. Aging is officially a thing of the past!

Initial Reaction: S$78 for 15 ml?! I will age faster just by looking at the price of this cream, LOL. I’ve tried a few anti-aging creams in the past and I can’t really remember exclaiming in happiness about the results. Or maybe all these anti-aging products are meant for preventive measures? Hmmm…

There you have it girls! Did you like any of the items I got? I like the lippie and I’m interested to try the expensive serum. How about you? Let me know in the comments

Serenity Sunday: Decision Dilemma (24th November 2013)

When one of what you specifically prayed for has been answered, what do you do? But wait! That's not the end of it. Here's the twist: before you could even claim your prize, another one of your specific prayers has been granted, which now leaves you on the edge of deciding which of the two you’re going to choose? Hmmm...

Good morning, everyone! How is your Sunday so far? Mine is filled with answered prayers. I can’t thank God enough for hearing my prayers and granting my heart’s requests. I just can’t share with you yet what these answered prayers are but you’d all know it at the right time. :)

Going back to my question above, if you specifically requested for two different things (because in your heart, you’re okay with either of them) and you were offered both, which would you choose? And what if you like these two things equally but you really have to pick one, which would that be?

Let’s say, it is your passion to sing and dance and one day you found an online singing competition. Wow! So without thinking twice, you auditioned and wished so hard to pass. While waiting for the results, your friends told you about a dance contest which is just around the corner and because you also love to dance, you went ahead and auditioned thinking that either of the two will be okay since they’re both your passion. So everything seems okay until you found out that you passed the audition for the online singing competition and before you could even confirm your participation for the next round, you also learned that you made it in the dance contest. Huwwaaaaattttt?!?!?!!!

Seriously guys, what would you do? Tell me, which one would you choose? And please remember that in the example given above, you love singing and dancing equally. I hope to hear from you, guys. I’d really love to hear what you all have to say about this. Thanks and have a blessed Sunday ahead!
