Schwarzkopf Blythe Melty Cherry Fresh Light Foam Colour Review

Yes, I haven't blogged for a while. 
Tis' the season to be lazy and eat a lot. Y'know?

I recently had the urge to dye my hair. So I went online to search for some foam dye. I decided Ebay wasn't exactly the cheapest place. Instead I bought the dyes on Sasa. I've read a couple of reviews saying that if you have long hair you needed 2 boxes. So I bought two and they threw in some free hair treatment cream. I ended up only using one box. So my mum is going to use the other box. Haha, except she has short and lighter hair. And I have pitch black hair since I've never dyed it before.  I guess we both will have different effects.


The box ~ ♥


Various effects you can get from the box. Since I have pitch dark black hair. Most likely the top one. Or the middle one if I'm lucky.


More information on the back. Made in Thailand. ~ 


The contents of the box. From the top left (in clockwise order) : Instruction booklet, hand gloves, conditioner, box, emulsion for the mixture, colour dye and the top part of the pump.


And this is the colour after dying it. As you can probably tell from first glance. The dye did lighten my hair but not by a lot. I can't exactly blame the dye since I do have really dark hair. This photo was taken under flash indoors. I'm happy with the results but I'll most likely purchase another brand next time. Yes, your hair will be dry as hell because of the dye. So be sure to use a lot of conditioners in the future.

Hope you enjoyed this mini review~

Lust Have It (Subscription Box) - Review / First impression ~

For those of you who aren't interested in my rabblings. You can watch my Youtube unboxing at YouTube.com/TheBecLoves <3 I'm the type of person who can't sleep at night. I also love spending money. So how does those two correlate? Well I online shop at 5am in the morning. I saw several Australian beauty gurus unboxing their Lust Have It boxes. The first box only cost $4.95? Well sign me up! So I bought this on the 10th of September and it arrived on the 15th. However this was the August box and not the September one. No biggie since it's less than $5. 



When I ripped off the packaging. My heart sank because it was the August stuff I had seen in several videos. T_T


The website (lusthaveit.com) makes quite a big deal about this hair product. I've never been much of a hair junkie. So I do not and will not care for it. Sorry to anybody who loves this product. I'm going to give it to my mum. However if you've used this product please let me know if it's good.



The back/labels and ingredients etc. 


I like wipes. So more wipes the better. I actually used one to wipe off my makeup today. The scent wasn't too strong which I like. The scent I got was the Aloe Vera + Cucumber. ^_^ 


Mask. Which I'll use on my arms first before it goes anywhere near my face. Last time I had a really bad allergic reactions due to my hyper sensitive skin. I'll update on this one when I get the chance to use it on my face.


Brush brush brush. I've got a few of these. So won't be opening this one for a while.


Assorted discount codes and cards for other subscriptions. Which, I do not, care for. (Sorry but not sorry) 


My favourite remover. It's actually great for travelling so this is a plus for me.


The overview of the LustHaveIt box for August? September? 2014.

Verdict? $4.95 yes $25 no.

I know if you add up the products altogether it would exceed the $25 limit. But I honestly do not care much for these products. I'd rather invest $$ on another MeMebox than this. If you want my honest opinion. I'm not being paid to say this. However with subscription based stuff it's expected to have new items you've never tried before. I will try my best to use these items and try not to be toooooo critical with them. For no I'll be canceling my subscription since I'm broke. And I got a piles upon piles of un-opened makeup/skin care product.

Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary Make-up Mini Haul + Review ♥

After months of anticipation the new re-animated Sailor Moon has once again graced the earth. To top it all off, the makeup collection is super awesome. (Damn those Japanese people and their cute packaging). Sailor Moon is my childhood. Therefore I must buy it? Yes. Let me tell you when I saw the press powder for $200 on friggin ebay. I WAS DONE WITH IT. Mangs, the thing is cute and everything. But I'm not that delusional and brainwashed when it comes to these things. So I only bought what I considered "essentials" and something I would actually - use. 


I only got 3 things which are all eye-related makeup.  One sparkly white eye pencil, 2 liquid liners which comes in brown and black. I know there's like a billion assorted different colours for each individual characters. But the only time I'm going to wear seafoam green... is never. And red pencil liner seems a bit too intense for me. Even as an eyeshadow it ain't really my thing. Plus I don't cosplay. So = Waste of money for the sake of collecting dust

WHY I BOUGHT THESE THINGS:
1) Because these were the ones that would actually ship to Australia. 
2) Because it's actually not TOO expensive and easily justifiable.
 3) It's cute what can I say. 


For today's post I'm only going to unbox the brown liner. Because I still have to finish several black liquid liners. This is my first time buying a brown one. I didn't expect it to be any good. Considering the whole purpose for this line is to advocate for the re-release of the anime. But hey... it's actually pretty good. 


Brings back the childhood. Sobs.


Since I bought mines from SaSa they stuck the Chinese instructions over the Japanese. Thank goodness, because I can only read English and Chinese properly these days.


Once you pop the eye-liner out of the cute packaging. "Miracle Romance" is splashed crossed the product. Love the whole cutesy thing... it gets to me. 


At first glance the tip is good. Glides smoothly and the liquid is oh so finneee. The package claims to be waterproof. Trust me it is. Rubbing this with makeup remover was a challenge for me. It just wouldn't budge. Had to find an oil base to get rid of it. I suppose if you have oily lids it might get it off easier? I have sahara dessert kind of skin. (As you can probably tell from the pictures my hand is dead) 


Yay it's brown not black. haha


Next I tested out the Miracle Romance Star Power Prism Pencil-liner in the colour White. First of all if you like bling bling stuff, you WILL love this. Pigmented, glides easily, sparkly heaven and smooth as hell. This products is available (as a mentioned earlier) in different colours. Red, sea foam green... etc etc etc. 


Not as fancy as the liquid liners. But hey it's Sailor Moon herself. ^_^


Once again the back is covered with the Chinese instructions. Basically teaching you how to use it and the ingredient. Nothing out of the ordinary really. Although I doubt all the ingredients are listed... I have a feeling there's more stuff. 


Yay more Miracle Romance. ^_^ this time it be ribbons not meow meows. 


I'm a person who loves retractable pencil liners so this is going to be a pain for me. But the product itself is good I must admit. So pretty *_*


Yay it may look chalky on my hands but... I have grandma hands. Sorry it's winter over here and I'm cold. 

Hope you enjoy my babble of a post. Until next time ^_^

MEMEBOX #17 KStyle (Kpop Box) Unboxing

After waiting for months. My first ever memebox came in the mail today. Can we please have a round of applause for patiences.

I have to be completely honest here. I was quite skeptical about buying this. It was 3am I was on Tumblr... and I just bought it through an ad. No research,  nada. Just click and buy while freaking out for 3 months. .. I'm happy that it came.  Considering the amount of hyped up reviews on instagram. Kind of made me feel good about it. (I researched after buying the box because im stupid) However. 



Got go give some brownie points for packaging alone. But hey you technically paid for it. So it's a given something fancy should be made right? (I'm ungrateful)


The box is pretty I'll give them that. Not a flimsy kind of material. Considering I got $10 off this box it made me feel slightly better. The retail price in my eyes... how do I put it delicately? A rip off. I got this box for $22 including shipping. So if I had to pay full price. No thank you.


Here is the overview of the first kpop box. If you're interested in a more deeper insight into these products. Feel free to watch my video on youtube.com / thebecloves ♡

Or if you're interested in getting one. I have a discount code. Just follow the instruction on this link: http://us.memebox.com/user/ricebulb 
you will get $5 off your box. If you don't want just go onto their main website. And you can directly buy it off them. Me dont mind totally up to you lol.

Japanese Style dolly Stickers Haul ♡ x 10

After waiting for almost a month my shipment finally came. I had to blur out all my personal information. Hence the heart spam sticker fiesta. And yes, I bought 10 packets of stickers. Yes, I recently turned 21. I'm suffering from a one/fourth quarter life crisis right now.


Typical Australia post delivery from China. At least the content isn't smashed rofl. (Like my cosmetic from the last shipment >_> )


One of the unique ones. I love the kimono ♡


Basically the back just shows you alternative combinations and what not. I'll probably won't use these stickers for those things. Or realistically I'll probably never use them.. 


Casual girl with a marine paris theme? I don't know how to explain it. I suck at these things.  Lol 


The back. Yay


Forest theme? Nature? Well I like it anyway haha ♡♡♡ 


I have a feeling these are knock off version of a Japanese doll. But hey it still looks pretty decent.  


Romantic vibe? 


You'll never see me wear something like this in real life. I don't think I own stuff like this. 


Somehow this one reminds me of a old french café kind of vibe.


Is that a beret?  Ignore my ugly finger. I got too lazy to crop. ♡♡


Are all of these stickers french themed. I should at least go through them before  I buy them... 


What am I going to do with them... 


Shoujo manga anyone? 


Reminds me of akb48 ...


Another french theme? 


I want that hat... 


Lolita frill frill look. But the sweet kawaii kind.


Not bad but definitely not my favourite. 


I much prefer the teal colour theme for this one. I have edited the pictures a little bit so the colour might be  a bit off.


But lolita ones are alright but I prefer the modern ones more.

To summarise this entry. Do not go on ebay when you're sleep deprived.  You'll end up spending money on these kinds of things... well I doubt anybody but me would. Happy reading!
