BELLABOX NZ | January '18 Unboxing + First Impressions

BELLABOX NZ | January '18 Unboxing - CassandraMyee

If you read my blog religiously (hello, and thank you) you will see that each month I am sharing the content of the latest BellaBox for that month. BellaBox has been around in Australia for a while, and they've just launched into NZ at the end of last year and the boxes just keep getting better and better. The gist of this service is that you pay a one-off fee each month and a little blue box arrives at your home filled with at least 5 different products that can vary from sample size to full size. I have always been a lover of this sort of subscription service and find it so exciting to receive each month. So without further ado, this is what was inside the January Box*.

COLLECTIVE BEAUTY HAUL

COLLECTIVE BEAUTY HAUL - Beauty Bliss, TheBalm, Chi Chi, Essence, Blistex, L.A. Girl, Too Faced, Karen Murrell - CassandraMyee

It's been far too long since I did a good ol' classic beauty haul, the main reason being that I just haven't been buying that much makeup lately (shocking I know, but my bank account is rejoicing). So here are a few new things on my radar that I either bought over the past month or so, or are products I was kindly sent by PR that I want to share with you lot. Let's crack into some makeup goodness... 

KAREN MURRELL | Christmas Lipstick + Charm Bracelet Gift Set

KAREN MURRELL | Christmas Lipstick + Charm Bracelet Gift Set - CassandraMyee


You might think it's a little bit too early to be talking about Christmas, but over the past few weeks I've received some amazing gift sets and products that will be released over the festive season, so why not get a head start on some Christmas shopping?! This set from Karen Murrell* will please any lipstick lover, and I'm sure it will make an appearance on many Christmas wishlists.

KAREN MURRELL | Lipstick Collection + Swatches

KAREN MURRELL | Lipstick Collection Swatches - CassandraMyee

There's a lot of things I love about blogging, one of them is being introduced to a number of brands (particularly NZ ones) that I've never tired and through blogging I've been able too. Karen Murrell is one of those brands, and my collection of her all natural lipsticks has been growing steadily since I started my blog. One of them I have bought myself (in a clearance bin at a pharmacy for $5 - what a score!), and the others have been sent to me (you might have seen me post about them before!) Here's a little round up of the shades I own with swatches for comparison.

NEW IN | Lots of Lip Products - Maybelline, L'Oreal, Chi Chi + Karen Murrell - CassandraMyee

I've got a real problem. A real problem with buying lip products (well, I've got a problem with buying makeup in general...). The past few weeks have seen an influx in lip products, a mix of ones I bought and also a couple I got sent from PR. Here's a quick run through with swatches and a bit of info on each from Maybelline, Karen Murrell, Rimmel, Chi Chi and more.

KAREN MURRELL | New Sugar Rush Lipstick

KAREN MURRELL // New Sugar Rush Lipstick - CassandraMyee

As it's the first day of Spring (I can't quite believe that, but I'm rollin' with it), I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share the brand new lipstick shade from Karen Murrell that is being released today! It's aptly called Sugar Rush* and it is fast becoming my go-to pink lipstick as we start heading into some warmer weather.

KAREN MURRELL | Lipstick in Rymba Rhythm - Review + Swatches

KAREN MURRELL // Lipstick in Rymba Rhythm | Review + Swatches - CassandraMyee

When it comes to lippies, I tend to stick with the standard pinks and pinky nudes, generally I feel as though these suit me a lot more and are safer options. Red lipstick seemed like a very scary venture and is a colour I didn't think I could easily pull off, but since I received this gorgeous shade Rymba Rhythm from Karen Murrell* I think my opinions might have changed...
