Recently I have been seeing a lot of cute things on this site. I am still yet to buy anything from here (due to lack of funds) but I  think their pricing is quite reasonable and they offer free worldwide shipping! Nothing beats free shipping.

What's on your wish list at the moment?

Bella Box vs. Lust Have It!

With the craziness of December last year I never got around to doing my monthly beauty subscription box posts. This year I'm looking at saving money and using up a lot of what's in my makeup and beauty collection so I'm going to unsubscribe to one if not both boxes - at least for a little while. So basically this post is going to outline the pro's and con's of each box and hopefully with your help it'll make my decision to unsubscribe from either box a little bit easier.

I'll start with Bella Box (pictured is the contents of December 2012's box)

Pros:

• Affordable Price $15.00 per month 
• Monthly membership is available and you can unsubscribe at any time 
• Always include a great amount of quality products
• Bellabox has a great rewards system 
• Great brands including Australis, Benefit, Bioderma, Bobbi Brown, Sally Hansen etc.
• Comes in a great box that can be used for storage later on  
• Their online store has great variety 
• Ships early in the month - usually arrives 2nd/3rd week at the latest 

Cons: 

• Shares some of the same brands as Lust Have It which can result in double up's (not their fault but has happened) 

Lust Have It (also picture is their December 2012 box) 

Pros: 

• Affordable price $14.95 
• Usually contain 5 samples in each box 
• They also have an online store which you can buy products featured in their box 
• Also have a great range of brands including Lush, Laura Mercier, NYX, Benefit, Batiste
• Have VIP presents for annual members
• They seem to be expanding and fixing their business  

Cons: 

• Have had product issues for the past couple of months, products in boxes have been sub par
• Come in a makeup bag - not a huge issue but I have so many they're just going to waste at least you can use boxes for storage
• Their samples haven't been as generous as other boxes 
• Shipping - they seem to constantly be having shipping issues, boxes almost always arrive in the last week for me or sometimes even on the last day of the month. 

So as you can see I've discovered more cons for Lust Have It than Bellabox but on the other hand I have thoroughly enjoyed a lot of Lust Have It boxes. I think they just need to go back to how they were at the beginning. I know each brand has a lot of different pro's and con's and I'm sure I've probably missed some. So at this stage I'm torn on wether I should stay subscribed to Lust Have It, Bellabox or either of them.  

What are your thoughts, who would you choose? 

Obsessed: Candles!

Starting in 2013 I wanted to start incorporating a few other lifestyle things we are interested in including non fashion and beauty products we are obsessed with. So to kick off our new 'obsessed' posts is my current obsession with candles! 

I burn candles a lot, becuase I love the scent filling up my room,  I just think it makes the room feel nicer as a whole. My current favourites have been these three (note: pics were obviously taken before using them) The Lucia damask rose and cypress, Slatkin & Co frosted cupcake and cranberry pear bellini. 

First of all there are a couple of diffences between these candles, the Lucia one is actually soy and here is an article on why soy candles are a lot better than wax candles. Not only that, but this candle smells gorgeous, it's made wuth 100% pure frangrance which means the scent will completely fill up your room. Another plus for this candle is the fact it burns really well, for a little candle it has a really long burning time of 20 hours. I also love the packaging of this candle, the little box is so pretty and I love the simplicity of the actual candle. The Lucia candle is available here at Sapone Soap

The other two Slatkin & Co candles smell ridiculously good, you've probably heard a lot about these if you watch some of the American youtubers. Once again the scent of these can fill up a whole room, my particular favourite is frosted cupcake because it's so sweet and smells delicious. Unfourtunately they're very hard to get your hands on here in Aus but you can try eBay because I've definitely seen them on there before otherwise befriend an American and hope they might send some your way.


What is your favourite brand and scent of candle? Can you recommend some to me?

*The Lucia candle was sent to me, but in no way does it affect my opinion of this product. My reviews are 100% unbiased. 

Best of 2012!
