Review: Pati Dubroff Luster Lips




Pati Dubroff Luster Lips. $20 for a pack of 5 from Costco.
(From left to right) Persimmon, Bare Petal, Honeysuckle, Rosebloom, Dark Orchid
There honestly isn't one think I dislike about these Lip Crayons. I've been carrying around at least one in my bag ever since I bought them! They glide on easily and moisturise like a lip balm, but look like a lipstick when on. They are very pigmented, the colours are gorgeous, and would suit absolutely everyone. The back of the packet suggests using two of the Lip Crayons to create a new colour, which I thought was awesome! My favourite mix of colours are Bare Petal and Honeysuckle, it looks soooo pretty!

I seriously recommend this to anyone and everyone, even if you're not the biggest fan of lip products - these are easy to apply, last a long time and moisturise. It's brilliant quality and at a very affordable price. I'm not sure if you can buy them anywhere other than Costo, but if you're there, definitely check them out.

Thanks for reading!

February Bellabox 2014




Aveda Pure Abundance Style Prep
I tried this for a couple of days and it didn't give my hair any added volume from what I can tell. It does make your hair smell really, really nice though!
♥   ♡ 

Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk and Honey Body Lotion
I'm a big fan of Burt's Bees - it always works really well for me. The same goes for this lotion - it smells great, keeps my skin feeling moisturized for the duration of the day, and is silky soft!
♥  ♥  

Shanghai Suzy Lipstick
This colour is not one I'd normally wear, but I do think its one I could get used to! It's very bright and pretty, and I love the way it looks when its on. Only thing I didn't like was that it dried out my lips (although most matte lipsticks do that to be honest).
♥    

Romy Shampoo & Conditioner
Wasn't impressed with this shampoo, it did not lather whatsoever and my hair wasn't feeling clean at all. The conditioner, on the other hand, was wonderful. Nourishing and left my hair soft and silky.
♥   ♡ 

Gaia Skin Natuals Pink Grapefruit and Jasmine Foaming Cleanser
The smell of this cleanser really wasn't to my taste, however it worked pretty well. It removed my makeup and left my skin feeling great. I was surprised that it was called a 'foaming cleanser', when it didn't foam at all? Very odd..
♥   ♡ 

Lavanila The Healthy Fragrance Vanilla Grapefruit
This smells AMAZING. Exactly how it's described - just like vanilla and grapefruit. It's sweet and strong, but not overpowering. I love it!

Thanks for checking out my blog!

February Favourites

Hello munchkins! I had a pretty fab February, quite busy though I must say. Hopefully March will be a bit more chilled. Moving on... here are my February Favourites! Enjoy!


FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC - VIRGINIA ANDREWS
I've not finished this book just yet so I can't give you a proper review, but what I can tell you is that I simply haven't been able to put it down! It's a fairly old book and definitely keeps you on your toes, and I was engaged within the first few chapters, which is something I really love in a book.

LES MISÉRABLES SOUNDTRACK
The movie is flawless and so is the soundtrack. I've been listening to this soundtrack non-stop, some of my favourites are 'One Day More', 'A Heart Full Of Love' and 'On My Own'. The theatre production will be in Australia later this year, and I absolutely cant wait to see it!
GARNIER BB CREAM
This BB cream is my saviour on a school morning. I don't need to bother wasting time (that could be spent sleeping in) by putting on moisturizer, concealer or foundation, I just slap this on and go! It feels wrong skipping so many steps but, what can I say? It moisturizes, lasts the whole day and looks great!

CUTEX QUICK N GO TOP COAT
This is the absolute best top coat ever. It not only adds a lovely shine, it protects the colour like no other top coat I've tried. It goes without chipping for at least one week. It's not expensive, and works a charm, so I definitely recommend it!!


Thanks for reading!
