rediscoveringme50 "swap"

Hi everyone! Today I received a box in the mail from "rediscoveringme50" here is a link to her youtube channel

She posted in one of her videos that she had two eyeliners from a LHI box that she was willing to give away, and being a freebie hauler I jumped at the chance! So imagine my surprise early April to see a Bella Box in my letterbox that felt very heavy! Opening it I discovered she had packed with all sorts of goodies, so here is what  I received,

Note I'm calling this a swap since I can't think of another word, but what she did was really sweet and a lovely way to give away items that you wouldn't use yourself!

I few things I recognized from LHI/Bella Boxes but here a couple of things I've never tried. 

24 Hr Eye Tattoo in grey

This really is a tattoo, I swatched  it a couple of hours ago, and now, when I try rubbing it gently, it refuses to come off! It's a lovely smoky grey color with a little shimmer. It's very matte which I love and will be able to create a great smokey eye look!

Body Shop Soap

This was so lovely to add to the box. When I opened the box it had a lovely jasmine, rose smell (which was coming from the soap) It reminds me  a little of my mums scent and I will certainly use this! 

Burberry Sample

This will be great to throw into my purse to freshen up during the night. I love Burberry scents, and have been thinking about buying a bottle after seeing my sisters collection, so thank you heaps!

 BB Straight Blowdry

This little sample smells great, and as I haven't chemically straightened my hair this year, it's pretty frizzy! So this well help heaps, and if it works I'll definitely purchase again. I've been hesitant to chemically straighten my hair because I'm trying to keep it "natural" and voluminous.

I totally was not expecting all these goodies, and thank rediscoveringme50 heaps. I put together a little box of goodies to send out today, so hopefully they reach you soon! Be aware though, I used the same Bella Box packaging! (They really are so convenient!)
I also received another goodie from Mr. Postman today, a new laptop! So hopefully I can start posting VLogs as well, which I've wanted to do for some time!

That's it from me! Post any comments below if you like anything you see, or if you love rediscoveringme50 channel on youtube!

MODEL CO HAUL AND GIVEAWAY

Hello lovely people! Hope you all had an eggcellent easter! (Ok that will be the last easter joke from me this year!)

Well this weekend I went to the easter show, for the first time in a while. One of the reasons I haven't been is how expensive it is!  I was tempted by the showbag arena once again but picked up a bag that I think is actually worth it!

Model Co Showbag

The bag itself,  I personally found quite unappealing. It's humongous and silver and I'll probably not use it again. Probably use it to store something in my closet.

You could choose the bronzed goddess or island fever,  I chose bronzed goddess.

Inside I received,

• 
  
• 1 Lengthening Mascara Black 
• 1 Eye Pencil and Sharpener Black 
• 1 ModelCo $20  Online Voucher
• 1  Handbag Converter 
• Blush Cheek Powder
• Eyeshadow Trio Pallette
• Shine Ultra Lip Gloss

Lengthening Mascara Black 

The mascara is pretty good quality, it's very black which is perfect for my dark lashes. I'm not a huge fan of the brush, just the standard mascara brush. I wouldn't buy this one again, it retails for $20 on the model co website.

Eye Pencil and Sharpener Black 

Whilst I find eyeliners with sharpener lids extremely handy, this pencil is awful quality. The lid is very loose and will not stay on. The pencil is smooth, but the pigmentation is awful, only small traces of the eyeliner come off and hardly works when using it over eye shadow. 

1 ModelCo $20  Online Voucher

I used the voucher the day I bought the bag (which was two days ago) and today the package arrived, so you have to credit Model Co for their fast shipping! I decided to spend the $20 on a travel sized bottle of their award winning fiber lash extension mascara which looks like this,

I've never used the fiber extension mascara before so this was an exciting experience. Now it wasn't fantastic results first time around using it. The little white fibers didn't really attach themselves to my lashes. What I can say is, it makes my lashes look longer in a very natural way. Today I went out just wearing a lip stain and these lashes and I received many compliments about how nice I look without makeup. *heehee* So if you're looking for a "natural" looking mascara this could be it. It's also very handy as it's a travel size and fits together to just throw in your bag very easily!

Blush Cheek Powder

Now I had to cheat and use the model co picture because the one I took was before I realized it had a mirror in it. I'm beginning to notice a trend with model co products. They all have a sneaky mirror built in there somewhere! I love this blusher, which is a nice coral/peach color  I think it would look great on almost any skin tone because of how it adapts. On my brown skin, the shimmery particles kind of blend and made my face look very rosy! I love how smooth it is, and so much product. Very pleased with this.

Eyeshadow Trio Pallette

Another product with a mirror! I love these mirrors, I keep losing my compacts in my bags so the more mirrors the better! These eye shadows are fantastic. So pigmented and shimmery. Perfect for a night out. Even though the pack was marked "bronzed" the blush, eye shadows makes for a very neutral toned look. The browns can be used minimally to accent eyes and the blush to subtly add some color. Very happy with these colors, and will be able to create many base looks from these.       

Shine Ultra Lip Gloss in Striptease

Now if you have read my previous blogs, you would know I'm not a huge fan of lip glosses personally. Just that they make my lips look and feel greasy. But I did try this out, it smells heavenly and the little mirror is so handy! It actually wasn't too sticky and I decided then I would try this one out. Then with the $20 model co order, I received another one of these babies! So I decided to do a giveaway!
