Hi there!
So, as you may have noticed, the number of subscription box services have multiplied like crazy over the past couple of years. They have a box for EVERYTHING! But of course, I like me some beauty boxes.
I was lucky enough to receive a beauty box from Australian Subscription Box service Bellabox! Bellabox was one of the first sub boxes on the market and have ties with some amazing brands. 
Want to wake up with baby soft, hydrated skin? You need to try Frankie Lou essential facial oil.
As you’ve probably heard me complain about by now, I have ridiculously dry skin. So, so dry that if I don’t moisturise, my face feels like it’s about to crack. Whilst moisturiser and night creams help, nothing is as good as a facial oil. I know the thought of putting oil on your face can sound quite daunting but just hear me out! Continue reading
Never buy things full price!
Now I don’t know if it’s my inner cheap curry instinct or my bank balance, but I barely ever buy things full price.
I mean why should I when there are such things as SALES! Continue reading
Want insta-worthy claws without the nail damage/ excessive costs to get them continuously filled in? Look no further!
When I was younger, I would never have guessed that eyebrows would become such an important part of my life. I never knew they needed to be “on point” or “fleeking”. I just knew I had to have 2 of them!
My usual routine is to get them threaded and then keep them clean by tweezing any stray hairs. I never pluck from the top because I’m afraid of over-plucking so I need a threading ever month or so.
Embarrassingly enough, my eyes tear up when I get my threading done. When my right eyebrow is getting done, my right eye leaks. I don’t know why and no I am not crying!!

You know what I’m talking about. It’s all over instagram! Skin care WITH OUT “benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid“. But what does that even mean? What has benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid ever done to me for me to banish them from my life?
So, you’ve probably seen this mascara pop up on my instagram every second post because well, I LOVE IT!
I’ve had a little bit over 3 months of use of this mascara and I think it’s time to write a review.
How much is it and where can i buy it from?
I purchased mine form Mecca for $27. Whilst $27 is above my usual spend for mascaras which is usually $10 (when Maybelline goes on sale), I thought I may as well give this one a go seeing as though it promised to “adds volume and length to your lashes whilst nourishing and conditioning them”.
Why did I buy it?
I have the problem of picking off mascara and as a result, my lashes have become stubby and theres less of them. I wanted to try a nourishing mascara as mascara is an everyday must-wear for me.
So, the at-home gel nail kit is becoming more and more popular. It’s a great way to save money instead of going to the nail salon a couple of times a month. I’ve been trialing the Sensationail Gel Nail kit for a year now and I think it’s about time I tell you all about it! The kit itself comes with a Lamp, Gel Cleanser, Gel Primer, Gel Base & Top Coat, Colour Gel Polish, Lint Free Wipes, Double Sided Nail Buffer and BambooManicure Stick. My kit came with the colour Scarlet Red.
(photo is missing a couple of things including the cleanser which i had to throw out because it leaked everywhere. I now use the Essence cleanser from priceline) Continue reading
Yesterday I went on a mission. A mission to spend $69 on anything skincare just to get the goodie bag worth $400… Yes, I forced myself to spent money just so I could get free stuff… So technically not free, right?
Priceline, an Australian drugstore – nay, THE Australian drugstore, holds a few of these gift bag “sales” every year – Hair Care (I’m pretty sure but may be mistaken), Make Up and Skin Care – and people go absolute cray cray over them. This is the first time I have ever been caught up in this hype because I truly believe it is WORTH IT this year!
Hi everyone. My name’s Meneka and I’m a beauty box subscription-oholic.
*Hi Meneka*
Look ok, I KNOW I complain about my beauty boxes every single month, and every single month I get told “If you don’t like it, then unsub” but I never do in fear of unsubscribing just as they come out with an amazing box. But this month really just pushed me over the end. As I post this, I am officially no longer subscribed to the rubbish that is BellaBox.
But let me show you what I got:
I got: Rimmel Apocolips, Nivea Stress Protect Deodorant, Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner, Kester Black Nail Polish and Model co. and Mor Samples. Continue reading
