Priceline mini haul

Hi Guys!

My mini haul from Priceline arrived on Tuesday! Yay! I paid for express shipping, so I knew it would get here fast! I ordered the Scholl Velvet Smooth Electric Foot File (its as gross to use as it sounds), a replacement head and three packs of mascara brushes (PL had a special, buy 2, get 3). You guys know I'm ALL about the details! And that I always show you how my goodies are packaged and sent (because I think thats really important)

Express Post! Yay! So excited to open up this box and see all my goodies!

How cute is their "Mwah! Thanks for shopping with us." sticker? The box is securely fastened (take notes Bellabox!).

Some air packages to make sure my goodies don't bounce around.

I had heard a lot of good things about the Scholl Velvet Smooth Electric Foot File and I was keen to try it out for myself, as I have pretty yucky heels. I had originally ordered it from ePharmacy for $29.99, which was a GREAT special, but obviously lots of other people thought it was a great special and they had run out. I'll blog about that tomorrow. Priceline had these bad boys on special for $39.99 and they are usually $49.99 (seeing as if I get a pedicure it can cost me $40, I thought it was worth a try). I also bought a replacement head, as I wanted to give it a fair trial.

Here it is, in its neat little package. Be sure to check your packaging before you throw it away (I found the plastic cover in mine! Whoopsi!)

Surprisingly the packaging was easy to open. The back just popped out. Yay, I don't know about you my usually I struggle to open those plastic packets AND the trick of using a can opener doesn't work for me.

Replacement heads - This way I can give them a fair trial. You can buy the Velvet smooth products from Priceline here. I don't know when their $10 off promotion ends... I liked buying it from Priceline as I'm a member of their Sister Club and purchasing through them helps me to earn a voucher to spend in store.

The next on my list of things to order was some Manicure disposable mascara brushes. I originally had seen them in my May Bellabox. Now I don't use these for putting on mascara. I use them to clean my hairbrush! I have quite long, dark, brown hair and it gets everywhere, I haven't found a way that gets my hair out of my brush any better. Priceline had a great deal, buy 2 of certain products and get one free (so you got 3 for the price of 2). I'll post an blog and some before and after pics of my hairbrush soon.

Are you a Priceline shopper? Do you do as much online shopping as me?? Let me know in the comments below!

Bella Box - Not impressed

I have recently cancelled my Bella Box - yes, I know it's only $15 a month, but it really was getting crappy. I may have been a little bit rash and maybe it will improve?? I used to love the boxes that the items came in and even if there was only one item I liked, well at least it was packaged nicely!

Before I cancelled I had almost 200 points in the BB shop, because I didn't have over 200, I could only spend 100 of them (need to spend them in groups of 100 =$10). I decided to buy a translucent face powder (because I needed one) and an item from the last months Box (because it got me free shipping).

So I ordered the MeMeMe Flawless Pressed Face Powder (Translucent) which was $25.95 and Timeless Truth Deep Sea Extract Moisturising Mask which was $8.00. If I didn't have the moisturising mask I would have had to pay $8.95 for shipping. After my $10 discount I paid $23.95.

I'm kind of miffed that I have 96 points that I can't use because I would have to buy something else to get my next $10 discount, and that won't likely be happening as I have now cancelled my box. Actually now that I go back and check my order history, no points have been awarded (should have been 15 a month) since Feb this year, and I've been getting one BellaBox a month all year.... I'm following that up with them, I'll let you know how it goes!

Firstly the packaging - not impressed. As you'll see down below my times are really small and could have easily been lost or stolen out of this box. While I appreciate there would be LOTS of orders going out all the time, if you're going to send beauty products out in a box like this then please for the love of God Bella Box TAPE UP THE GAPS. Sheesh!

Not impressed : (

Not good enough!!!

I could easily stick my finger in this hole and pull out the contents.

Mask and powder.

I do love a cloth mask and I can't wait to try this one out. I think with the stresses about the end of the year, I'll wait until I've stopped to treat myself to this one.

I've been looking for a translucent powder to set my make up (which I don't wear everyday) for a while. I'm happy to try this one out because it was relatively inexpensive. I'll let you know what its like in a later blog : )

I'm sad to finish up getting my BellaBoxes, as they used to bring me such joy, maybe they will improve? Let's hope so! How are you guys feeling about BellaBox atm? Let me know by commenting below!
