☆ Shann0nRenae X BellaBox ☆

Hello All and welcome back to my blog!

Today I have a very exciting blog post for you all!! BellaBox was kind enough to send me their April 2016 Bellabox! And I was too excited (thanks Kelsey!!). This box was amazing and obviously I wanted to share what products were in this box and how you guys can sign up too. This months theme was Relax, Refresh and Rejuvenate - which I think is perfect for this time of the year.

Before we get into the products, I thought I would just tell you what Bellabox is?? So, BellaBox is a monthly subscription box that only costs $15 per month. Within the box you get 5+ beauty samples to your door! 

For more information check out their website here.

 So now onto this months box. What was included? 

☆ Sukin Hydrating Facial Masque

☆ Tilly Australia Soap

☆ WotNot Facial Wipes 

☆ Nivea Pearl Revolution

☆Rimmel London Extreme Black Volume Mascara

☆ Norish Dry Skin Lotion

☆ Bioderma Miscellar Solution

What I think about these products?

☆ Sukin Hydrating Facial Masque☆  I was so excited to receive this!! I saw this on Bellabox's Instagram before receiving this box and I was in love. When I got it in the mail, I was hoping that the masque wouldn't be too hydrating as I have quite oily skin, but it was freakin' amazing and didn't disappoint. Get your hands on this if you can!!

☆ Tilly Australia Soap ☆ I thought I was going to be disappointed by this product because I am not a fan of rose scents. But this soap has the nicest rose scent I have ever smelt in my life! It's not too over powering but just the right amount of scent for a soap. I love the fact that Bellabox includes Australian brands that I've never heard of before!

☆ WotNot Facial Wipes ☆ I have never used these and I still haven't but I will be using them very soon. I saw a lot of people be really happy about receiving these and I have no doubt that they will be great!!

☆ Nivea Pearl Revolution ☆ This product is like no other I have seen before, I am very excited to try this one out. This is an anti-wrinkle cream that contains pearls (not real ones aha).

☆Rimmel London Extreme Black Volume Mascara ☆ I haven't tried this yet either! But it is always handy to have a stock up of mascaras in your collection. This mascara looks super good and I hopefully will try it in the next few months. This product is always pretty costly so, it's awesome that Bellabox was able to include this into the box this month.

 ☆ Norish Dry Skin Lotion ☆ This product will be perfect for winter! My legs are always super dry in winter so I am very excited to try this little sample out.  I like how they include a little sample of most things into this box, there is something for everyone.

☆ Bioderma Miscellar Solution ☆ The last product is BioDerma. I have never tried this before!! But I have heard people rave about it. This is similar to the Garnier Micellar Water, which I have but it will be awesome to try another brand of the same thing. Also, how cute is the little bottle awh!!

Thank you all so much for reading this post and I hope you can all get your hands on the Bellabox sometime soon, it is definitely worth it!! I also posted a Youtube Unboxing video on this box so make sure to like and subscribe to that!!

12 Summer Essentials ☀︎ | Shann0nRenae

Hello lovelies,

Aside from air con and cool drinks allowing me to survive another ridiculous Perth summer, I've decided to tell you about a few essentials of mine for the summertime. There's a few beauty products and clothing items so enjoy!

☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎

 Starting out with the beauty and makeup essentials!

I obviously HAD to include deodorant. This is my favourite deodorant in the whole wide world, and I am yet to find anything better than this! This is the Dove Go Fresh Cucumber & Green Tea Scented deodorant. I love this because it is such a fresh scent and it almost moisturises your armpits. The amount of bottles I've been through this is ridiculous.

Another favourite of mine this month is face masks. I'm really not too sure how I randomly got into face masks again but I did! I think these are perfect for the summer because they cool your face down and they help your skin while you're at it! This face mask is just a $3 one from Kmart , which work surprisingly well. I also use another one that is from Coles called the Freeman Facial Avocado & Oatmeal Clay mask but of course you could make one yourself for fun too!

Another thing I literally cannot live without is Chapstick! I honestly don't know why my lips are always so chapped in summer but I am always carrying 100 chapsticks during this time of year especially! The one I have is just the original Chapstick which I picked up from Coles.

 A makeup item I have been reaching for all summer is this primer! My friend Taylor actually got me this for Christmas so I'm guessing you can get this from Priceline?? But the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Primer is the best, this makes my makeup stay on all day without it drooping down my face!

Keeping on the topic of makeup my favourite palette in the last few weeks has been this Chi Chi Sunkissed Palette which is available from Myer. Taylor actually got this again for me, cause I was complaining about not having enough orangey tones in my eyeshadow collection. I love these colours cause they easy to blend and can give you a glowy finish if you use the right colours!

Since December, I have literally been wearing the same sunglasses until now! These are my favourite sunglasses ever. Not going to lie, these were an impulse buy but I'm so happy I brought them! These are the Quay China Doll Sunglasses which I brought from White Fox Boutique. These are great because they go with almost every outfit ever!

The perfume I have been wearing lately is the Zara Women Fruity perfume. My boyfriend got me this for my birthday along with another Zara perfume which I've already finished! This is an amazing perfume for summer because it's such a lightweight perfume and it's not too strong!

☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎
Now the clothing items!

Firstly, the things I've used most are sports crop tops. Holy moly, I've been using these just to sleep in because of how hot the Perth nights have been! They make me not wake up sweating as much as I would be wearing a proper shirt or PJ's. I just got these 2 from Kmart (P.S these aren't the only 2 I own).

Who could forget bathers for summer? I recently bought these Triangl bathers. I love how reliable Triangl bathers are, they are well worth the money. And how cute are the new designs?? I got these ones because they are super girly and I loveee them!

Oh my goodness! One thing I've been wearing non stop in the summer are denim skirts. This white one is my favourite one ever which I bought from White Fox Boutique and I am in love! I love how easy these are to just chuck on but they look so put together.

This leads me to my next clothing item which is pretty self explanatory in summer. This is crop tops. These are the best type of top in summer.
The one in this picture is from Cotton On. Crop tops are amazing because they are so easy to be put together to be dressed up or can even be dressed down.

The last item I have are these shoes! UGH. I love these. These sandals are from rubi shoes and I think they were about $20. I was so happy to get these on Christmas because I didn't have any sandals like this in my shoe collection. I had to get white of course because it's my favourite colour ever but these were such a buy and I've already got my moneys worth in these shoes!

I hope you enjoyed this post! And let me know any essentials i may have missed!

Much love,
Shannon xx

It's Better in The Hamptons ~ Peachy Pt. 2 of 2 | Shann0nRenae

 Hello Again!!!

This is part 2 of my two part blog post! If you haven't checked out my outfit post, it shall be right under this one :).

For this look, I wanted to keep my makeup quite natural but wanted to add that pop of colour in the lip, that was quite subtle.Of course this look could definitely be defined as your own with your choice of colour. (Tbh, it was quite hard to opt for another colour that wasn't Mac's velvet teddy).

I wanted quite a defined contour and bronzer
especially on my cheeks, rather than a highlighted look.

I know a lot of my readers may be on a budget, so I wanted to keep this makeup look on a drugstore kind of budget but also add a small amount of more expensive products I have in my collection that you could find dupes for.

PRODUCTS USED:
> Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory
> Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer in 010 Ivory
> Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 01 Light beige
> Essence Sun Club Bronzer in 02 Sunny
> Nars Highlighting Blush Powder in Miss Liberty
> Too Faced Love Flush Blush in Love Hangover
> Max Factor Masterpiece Transform Mascara in Black
> Benefit Gimme Brow in Medium/Deep
> Elf Cosmetics brow kit in Light
> Mac Cremesheen Lipstick in Crosswires
> Sportsgirl white glitter eyeliner
> Avon eyeliner in Black
> Australis AC on Tour
> Chi Chi Sun Kissed Eye Palette
> Beauty Blender
> Zoeva Brushes
> Avon Eyebrow brush
> Avon Pink Powder brush
> Elf Cosmetics Powder/Blush Brush



Much Love,

It's Better In The Hamptons ~ Peachy Pt. 1 of 2 | Shann0nRenae

Hello Lovelies! And welcome back to my blog! I know it's been quite a while since I posted but you'll have to forgive me as all my time has been on events such as Graduation, Christmas and New Years!

Today for you guys, I have part one of a special two part blog post. Basically, its an outfit and makeup post but i have just separated them so there's 2 posts! So look out for that!

I wanted to include some colour but also make it basic enough for you to incorporate different colours. I wanted to make it casual enough for the summer and make it easy enough to be able to be customised to your own style.

I think the top is just the right amount of brightness to go with the look, and it also reminds me of a 90's kind of movie like Napolean Dynamite.If I was opting for another colour I'd stick with a more washed out colour. 

I choose black jeans as black goes with most colours. The rips in them and a ankle cut off , which just makes the look even more casual and edgy but even without rips I think this look would look equally as cool.

The heels are just an option! I think this look could look cool with some solid colour sneakers too! I decided to choose a basic nude colour to focus peoples attention on the tops colour.

All the links are left down below for the clothing items in these photos.

See you soon, 

Shannon xxx
