ILoveThisBox March Review

I heard about these beauty Sample boxes on the internet and decided to give them a go. This was the March box and my first box I have received from ILoveThisBox.com.au. www.ILoveThisBox.com.au

I have to say I was very impressed by it. The delivery was fast and the packaging was secure but beautiful. I opened my box up to find a tip of the month card. This was cute as I never really thought about changing mascaras after a certain time, I always waited until they ran out. There was tissue paper covering the products secured by a beautiful purple heart sticker.

I opened the box to find the product information card and all my goodies. WOW there were a few good ones. This Month was all about Autumn!

A small sample of the Essie Nail Polish. I haven't used this as yet as I have acrylics but when I get a chance to redo my toes I will be trying this one out. The rrp of a 15ml, full size bottle is $18.95

Maybelline XXL Pro Curl Mascara. This was a full sized product which is valued at $19.95.
I used this straight away and loved it. It is easy to apply using the 2 step system. First you curl your lashes with the #1 brush then you cover them with the #2 brush giving you the black colour but also the 12 hour hold. My lashes still look nice and long and curled by the end of the day. I was so overly happy to receive this full sized product.

Next was a choice of 2 products. The first was Sunsilk Frizz & Weather Defence, Weather Protection & Shine Serum. The second was Sunsilk Co-creations Expert-Perfect Straight, Detangling Mist. The choice of which product you received was determined by your online beauty profile. I have very long curly hair so I was given the Sunsilk Frizz & Weather Defence, Weather Protection & Shine Serum. This was a full sized product valued at $8.99.

I use this product every single day whether my hair is up in a pony tail or down. It is quick and easy to use. Just squirt a small amount into the palm of your hand and rub your hands together then rub it through your hair. Add a very small extra amount to your tips. The best part is that it smells so good, isn't oily on your hair and you can use your styling products on top. I was overly happy with this item.


I received a sample of the Thalgo-Soft Hydrating Emulsion. The full sized product is 250mls and rrp is $59.00. Having only just had my 2nd baby my skin was really dry so I started using this cream straight away and already have seen a huge difference. This is something I would purchase again. I love the way the cream absorbs into your skin straight away and you are not left feeling sticky. It only takes a small amount to cover most of your body. Again this is something else I now use every day after my shower in the morning. I am not too impressed by the scent but it isn't that strong that you smell it all day, I am although impressed by how effective this cream is at re hydrating your skin.


Last but not least was the Glitter Puff Want. rrp: $12.50. This was cute to receive but I wouldn't purchase it again as I don't get out alot due to the toddler and newborn but I will say that I did use it for a cousins birthday party and the glitter was sheer and not over the top. It added a light sparkle which I did like. My newborn did get a little covered in it as she is close to my chest during the day but again it was a cute little extra. I did find the look of it a little 'kiddy' and not something a grown women would actually own.


Overall I was very impressed by my box this month. I pay $15.00 a month which includes postage and this month in full sized products alone I received $41.44 worth. Very good value. So far I recommend ILoveThisBox.com.au to all my friends and family that enjoy beauty products. Be sure to visit them.

All About ME!!!

25, Married with 2 kids? Yep thats me.
Isn't it amazing how life changes? I feel like I just woke up and here I am. Married with 2 kids. My dream as a child was to become a teacher. I was so fixated on my career choice that when I met my now husband I had no intention on getting married and having children. 

Well how wrong I was. We met when I was 17, engaged at 18, married at 21, first baby at 23 and second baby at 25. I wouldn't change it for the world. Now I am at home with my 2 year old son and 5 week old daughter. 

I am not going to lie, it is very hard most days and the others I don't know how I am still going when my husband gets home. I have thought about writing a blog for some time now. I hope you all enjoy reading about my ups and downs as a stay at home mummy.
