Sorry I'm a bit late... By now you probably already know the contents of the box. I didn't want to plan to post this earlier in case it decided to turn up late again like last month.
So, what did I get in the box?
I received:
Bellapierre - Shimmer Role in Champagne
Hmmm.... How do I feel about this box? Slightly disappointed. I just wish there was more full sized products! The Dr.Pawpaw balm Is not a dear product so why could we not get the extra 15ml? I also wish there were more beauty product as it is called a 'Beauty' box. Recently Look Fantastic have just been a little disappointing.
My favourite product is probably the Caudalie serum as i have tried this before and I LOVE it! The shade of the shimmer roll is beautiful though and i will definitely use this in my inner corner and as a highlighter.
How did you like the box?
Have you tried these products before?

Reviews...Reviews... I'm back with another review. I know I know I've done nothing but review, do you guys mind? I want to ensure you are buying products which a generally good. Any way as you may know from my town haul post, i was suckered in to buying some products from a brand called Ruby Cosmetics. I've now tried and tested these products and i am back to give you a full report!
How do I use it? Brow powder: I apply the powder to my eyebrows to fill them in. I like to use other brow products along side it. Contour kit: I apply powders to the face using the contour brush provided.
Packaging? Brow powder: The packaging holds quite a lot of product and the woman at the stall told me the product should last for 2 years! It's a plastic circular tub and doesn't feel very sturdy. Contour kit: This comes in a simple palette. The front has an image of a woman. The packaging is not anything special however that is not the most important part, the product is.
Texture? Both products are powdery however the contour palette seems more smooth.
Finish? Brow powder: The powder is not super pigmented and therefore will not shape your eyebrows very well. only fill them in. Contour kit: These powders are pigmented , especially the darker shades, they are matte.
Where can you find them? On the Ruby Cosmetics site for £34.99 (Brow) and £24.99 (Contour)
Final thoughts...
Packaging = 4/10
Texture = 6/10
Prices = 3/10
Overall = 5/10
I think these would be great if they were more pigmented. The packaging was not overly attractive but it could have been worse. The products does the job therefore both products are not too bad.
I hope you enjoyed!
Have you tried anything from this brand?

Another Review... First off, let me say, i'm am so sorry about the terrible quality pictures you're going to see. My camera was acting up and being all weird, not to mention my terrible lighting. I tried my best to improve them for you guys.
Sooo... this palette is meant to be a dupe to the Naked Heat palette i think. I bought this using a TK Maxx gift card i earn from Toluna and it was relatively cheap. I've owned palettes from W7 previously, i have the In The Buff palette. For the price the palette is not bad at all. I did not expect much due to the low price tag however i was pleasantly suprised.
I'll be honest, the pigmentation is not as amazing as the Urban Decay version (Obviously!) but it's not awful. The shimmers were beautiful and the shadows swatched nicely. I LOVE the warm tones in this palette and i can see myself using this palette in the future. If you can afford the Urban Decay Heat palette i would suggest you purchase that however if you're on a budget and don't want to spend loads of money i would recommend trying this affordable version out!

My First Tutorial... Now, I've never done a tutorial in my life. Especially on a blog so excuse me if its a bit crappy. I am no means a make up artist or expert, I just love using it and being creative.
I started by applying my base makeup. To begin with i applied my This Works Primer and I used a sample foundation i received to try however i was not told what the foundation was and therefore i can't tell you guys what i used. I applied with a beauty blender and then used the Rimmel Insta Fix and Matte to set it.
I then moved on to they eyes. Every shadow i used on my eyes was from the Colourpop Yes Please palette. I started by applying the shade GNO all over the lid. I then blended the shade Spoiled into the crease and applied Big Cocktails deeper in the crease. I wanted to attempt a half cut crease and therefore i applied some Colourpop No Filter Concealer to my lid and looked up to mark where i needed to cut the crease. I then blended this into the lid. I then applied the shade Butter Cake to the lid, i packed this on for maximum pigment.I then blended this out slightly with the shade spoiled and added the Shade Bling to the outer corner. To finish off the eye look a blended Spoiled and bling under the waterline.I then finished the eye look with some eyeliner and a pair of Ardell lashes and the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara.
To finish off the look i needed to perfect my face makeup. I began by applying my Colourpop concealer under my eyes and on my blemishes. I then set that with my Rimmel powder. I outlined my brows using the black shade in the Collection Eyebrow Kit and filled them in using the Benefit Goof Proof. I then added bronzer and the blush from the NYX New York set to add colour to my face. I then packed on some Colourpop Flexitarian highlighter to my cheekbones and in my inner corner as i love to blind people with this super pigmented highlighter!
I feel this look is perfect for during the day on Valentines day. Please let me know what you think!
