[What's New] Travel To Paris With bellabox July 2014

Hi Huneybees,

It's time for another month of the beauty box surprise - bellabox! The theme of this month is La Petite Parisienne, it's all things Parisian and ready for you to look good for that romantic date out..

If you don't know what is bellabox, you definitely deserve a little spanking (Nope, not the Fifty Shades style). Bellabox Singapore is a monthly subscription service, priced at SGD$19.95, that surprises consumers with various sample sized products to try out. And if you like what you've tried out, you can get them online at their website.

Ok, so let's reveal what's in the box for this month!

It's all about the lovely tresses for you to flip and turn with a sexy gaze and your beautiful glowing skin shining through. After so many trips to Paris, I have to tell you, they are very minimalistic in terms of makeup, good complexion is VERY important in their routine and on their daily routine, they simply have a little eyeliner, mascara and lipgloss. It's that effortless beauty that attracts like Audrey Tautou.

• Lollipops Glossy Lipstick in Fatal Cocktail – The sweet coral shade might look pretty strong but once applied on the lips, you will only get a glossy finish, with a tinge of colour.

• Hanaka Hydro Rejuvenate Set by Beautify Me – Aren't they just adorable?! Macaroon's for the face! 

• L’OREAL Paris Total Repair 5 Emergency Care – Another must-have for those with damaged hair. It smells great and works great for those troubled tresses.

• L’OREAL Paris UV Perfect Anti Dullness UV Protector – A lightweight sunscreen that is packed with SPF 50+ UVB, UVA PA+++

• Givenchy Ange Ou Demon Le Secret EDP – A floral scent that I think was a little too strong for my liking...

• Nuxe White Brightening Moisturizing Emulsion – Nuxe products are one of my favourite. Everything is so light on the skin, yet so helpful!

• LIERAC Sensory Oil with 3 white flowers – I have this on at night and the fragrance is so soothing that it helps me sleep better at night whilst moisturizing my skin throughout the night

• Phytokeratine Ultra Repairing Mask – Another hair rescuer for those with dry, frizzy hair. This is good to have once in a week for your hair.

• Glamglow Supermud Clearing Treatment & Glamglow Youthmud Tinglefoliate Treatment – I left the best to the last. These two products are highly raved about and I brought them along on my Hong Kong trip. I would say I prefer the Glamglow Youthmud Tinglefoliate Treatment, the warm feeling makes me know that the product is working and the seaweed bits actually help exfoliate my skin better. My skin has never felt so smooth before! It's like sandpaper!

So there you go! That's the Bella Box July 2014 Edition - La Petite Parisienne.

[Get The Look] Celebrate Valentines' Day With Gummi Nails

Hi Huneybees,

Valentines' Day is coming in a few days' time and every lady will be dressing up for their dates. With the perfect dress and makeup, you might also want to doll up your nails. But as you have just went back to work from the Chinese New Year break, you don't have the time to head over to the nail palour, here's a solution for you.

I have introduced Gummi Nails before and here is their exclusive V'day special design - Mon Amour. Inspired by the city of love - Paris, Mon Amour makes a statement of love with stylish graphics, kisses, hearts, lipstick, French beret and vintage perfume in a monochromatic palette with red accents.

These are 100% real nail polish wraps and they are super easy to apply. And if there are creases, you can simply lightly lift it up and paste it back down before filing off the extra. Once done, simply seal it with top coat and you are set to go with nail colours that can last up to 14 days! 

Each Gummi Nails 100% real nail polish kit comes with 20 nail wraps, a mini nail file, a cuticle stick and step-by-step application guide on the packaging.

I love that each nail is coated with different designs and I got my nails done within minutes! I don't have to sit hours in nail parlours, waiting for the artist to draw on my nails, I can get everything done in the comfort of my home. Even if you date's tonight, you can simply get your nails done during lunch break!

Priced at SGD16 each, Mon Amour is available online (www.gumminails.com) and ships worldwide. They are also retailing at Zalora.sg and Rockstar by Soon Lee. More information can be found on their website and stay informed on their social media platforms...

[Tried & Tested] It's The Peri Tint!

Hi Huneybees,

Korean cosmetics have really been getting more and more popular with the KPOP scene, so here's introducing the latest from Peripera, their latest 3 Lip Tint series in 8 exciting new shades!

Peripera have always been packaged and sold as the fresh, bright, stylish beauty line that I adore as you all know I'm always about colours! Dressed in illustrations created by Korean pop artist Mari Kim, whose artwork also appeared in a 2NE1 music video, these lip tints are definitely a delight to look at. I received 2 of the products - Tint Marker (Orange Stain 2) and Tint Crayon (Fruity Mint 3).

The Tint Market works like a marker you would use on the board. It's easy to apply and helps to outline the lips with the fine end. The colour is enough with one application and I like that it doesn't fade off that easily. Formulated with Vitamin E, peach and orange water, it isn’t creamy or glossy and has a lovely dewy shine.

At first, when I opened the package, I was shocked to find such extreme colours. Bright Orange and a Minty Green for lips? Wow!

The Tint Crayon is extremely moisturising with it's almond and jojoba oil. I brought it with me on my overseas trip and it kept my lips looking supple and softer looking. 

But when I tried it on my hands, I have to say I fell in love with them, especially the Tint Crayon. It turned pink with the warmth of my hand and it was so glossy and moisturizing. In fact, both products go well to create the latest makeup trend - "Bitten Lips".

I simply applied the Tint Crayon all over my lips and had the Tint Marker on the inner parts of my lips, creating that ombre fading look. It makes my lips so much softer and kissable and with this look, my lips look even more prominent and fuller as though I had some lip plumping gloss on.

These 2 babies retail at S$14.90 and are exclusively available at Watsons.

Have fun!
