October "Classy" Her Fashion Box unboxing (Fashion, Beauty & Lifestyle subscription box)

Heya!!

So i have an un boxing from Her Fashion Box having that i just started subscribing to them after hearing all the great stuff about them from Australian Youtube and the Beauty Blogger world.

I thought it will be a great way to step out of my comfort zone and just have fun trying out new things by ordering a subscription box.

So basically HerFashion Box is an Australian monthly subscription box service where for $39.90 you can get a box with about 3 Fashion items and 4 beauty/lifestyle items which will usually be at a value of over $110!!!

You can choose from three types of boxes which style suits your style/taste/personality which is Classy, Trendy and Feminine.

 The box i choose was the "Classy" box and the theme of the month is "Down To Earth"

So when you first get the box in the mail it comes packed nice wraped with a pink box.

Ta-Daaaa the un opening box number 1

So the nice sleek black box that holds all the products in it. Its magnetic and quiet strong and good quality so you can definitely keep the box to keep the stuff you wanna keep in it.

Firstly it comes with some coupons and a magazine which holds all the infomation you'll need of the products in the box.

The fashion 

"Great Southern Land" necklace

So it has a really nice kinda tribal necklace that will make a really nice statement piece.
I usually am not a jewelry person so this will be fun to accessorize with

Left: "Trial Blazer" ring and Right "The Eternity" ring

It also comes with a nice turquoise statement ring and a mini infinity ring.

I always wanted to get one of this large statement ring so i was definitely happy to see that in my box!

The Beauty

From left to right: Revitanail Nail Polish in "marshmallow", Ulta 3 Lipstick in "Red Sahara", Lonvcitalite Collagen Crystal Eye Mask

Nail polish

Revitanail Nail Polish in "marshmallow"

I've seen this brand at priceline before but never really tried it.

Its a nice nude pink color and the name "marshmellow" is really cute.

Lip stick

Ulta 3 Lipstick in "Red Sahara"

Ulta3 is a really popular inexpensive brand  here in Australia. 

I own ulta 3 nail polish but never seen the make up in stores at where i live.

I've seen a few aussie youtubers showned the ulta 3 lipstick so it will br great to try this out.

The packaging is nice and sleek and reminds me of the covergirl lipsticks

The color is a nice deep red color... kinda look like a darker version of covergirl's "hot passion". Cant wait to play around with it.

Eye mask

Lonvcitalite Collagen Crystal Eye Mask

Once again not really familiar with this brand nor have i seen this in stores.

Its an eye mask to hydrate, reduce under eyes dark circles and firm the under eyes.

Can't wait to try this as i have been looking at trying under eye masks for a while now.

The lifestyle

Skin Bright oh my! evening tea

This was what i probably was super excited for! I love love LOVE tea and drink tons of it!

This is a loose-leaf tea and from the description its meant to be like a soothing tea for night time before you sleep.

Not so sure how that's going to work but i am super excited to try!

*update* was watching the other video and read the little magazine that it came with i was suppose to get a tea strainer but for an odd reason i didnt get it... ah well i have a nice teapot waiting for me :D


Check out my youtube channle/ video if you want to see my reaction to the first time unboxing this box!

The unboxing that i did was my reaction when I literally first open the box so forgive me it I do look clueless but like i say i didn't want to look into the magazine as i wanted it to be a surprise!

Overall

This is the first time I subscribed to a subscription box and i am super please with the products that i got!

The concept of Her Fashion Box is really unique as you not only get beauty samples (which are usually deluxe or full size) but also fashion and lifestyle items as well.

I was super excited when i went to collect my parcel and when i was filming my unboxing for my youtube channel i had my friend Azelia in the room with me to check out the content of the box with me.

 
I will definitely continue subscribing  to Her Fashion Box whenever i am in the country (i go back to Malaysia every few months) as i really enjoy the products that are the box.

It definitely is a great way to step out of your comfort zone and try new things

Apart from the jewelry i am definitely gonna  enjoy the nail polish and lipstick and tea!

If you are interested in signing up for Her Fashion Box you can sigh up here.

Don't forget you can also get 50% off your first box (That's $19.95!!!) by using codeword:

Also i got my first order with using a coupon code for 50% off using some random coupon code I found online.

Tutorial: Jodie Holmes Beyond Two Souls inspired Hair, Make Up and Outfit Cosplay/Halloween Tutorial

"I was born with a gift, or what they called a gift. It was really a curse. It's ruined my life. It made me the person that I am today, a freak, a mistake, someone to hate. "

AIDEN I NEED YOU NOW!!!

Heya!!!!! 

Ok so am flipping Obsess with Beyond Two Souls the new PS3 exclusive game by Quantic Dreams aka the makers or Heavy Rain! I played the demo and watched alot of the walktrough on youtube and fell in love with the storyline and characters in the game especially Jodie Holmes who is played by Ellen Page which her look inspired me to make another tutorial based on a video game for this Halloween and ideal for Cosplay.

Pic used for this look reference:

I was inspired to do this look which is based off the scene in the game and demo call "hunted" where she is running from the CIA and also this is one the official promo picture for the game.

Products used in this tutorial:

Scars and bruises:
Glue Stick

I am using the wax in the glue in place of all those other fancy special effect like wax and latex since its user friendly, easily accessible and easy to wash off.

To wash it off just stand in the shower preferred warm water and it will easily slide off.
 

red ink pen
black ink pen

 
Eyes:
E.L.F. 100 eyes pallet
MP smudge/ crease brush
savvy by db eyeliner long wearing eyeliner in granite
Essence Volume maximum mascara

Lips

Just use a "my lips but better" nude for this or go with tinted lip balm as most video game characters have nice pigmented lips.
 

Face and body (for the "muddy look")

NYC smooth skin bronzer in Sunny
Powder brush
This bit you dont have to be neat as you want to look as dirty and muddy as you can since you "have been chased by the CIA" :P

Hair:
hair tie that is the same color as your hair

Just tie a messy mid range pony tail ... no need to be neat once again .

Outfit

Mall haul!!! JB-HIFI AND COTTON ON BODY

Heya!! So i going to the mall is a bit dangerous especially with sales going around and coupon ... so.....

HAUL TIME XD

So if you don't already know i have a YouTube channel and one of my favorite vids to do is Haul... Well I thought it will be cool to switch it up with posting it here on my blog on the stuff i pick up from the mall today.

Ok I'll start with Jb-Hifi which is  favorite shop for CD's and i wanted to take opportunity 20% off coupon to CD's and decided to get a couple on my wishlist that i'll never pay full price for and isn't something I'll usually pick up as i usually wait till the CD's are at $10 or a buy 2 get 1 free sale at JB-HIFI.

So i got sorta a theme here for this mini CD haul... TV soundtracks...yup...so i got 2 Soundtracks for 2 tv shows that really love but usually wont get. 

Channeling my inner gleek in this picture!

First one is not a surprise to you guys as if you don't already known i am a hugh fan of Glee!! 

So i saw this for $12 and after the discount was $10 and I have been eying on this since season 2 (yes guys its been a while... :p) and its Glee Presents the Warbler which apart of the new directions are my favorite glee show choir on the show as they are so different from the new direction and because they sing most of their songs Acapella it just makes them more cooler! They have a lot of awesome songs like Teenage Dream, Misery and Raise your glass!! I really wish they release another warbler album as there  many great warbler songs on the show and that they include songs from warblers other that Kurt and Blaine! 

Also fun fact... If you don't already know fan fiction is one of my guilty pleasure and it also was a big influence to get this album as i just love alot of the warbler fanfict like Dalton and Brother Wes series (2 ultimate fav warbler related stories) and the "musical scenes" in the stories makes me want listen to them more. Yah i am obsess  with the warblers (and they are freaking cute in their Dalton uniform ;D)!

By the way my favorite warbler apart from Blaine and Kurt are Wes (my warbler crush :3 and i love reading fanfict that is about him xD), Jeff ( the actor Riker band R5 is freaking amazing!!), Nick (him leading the warbler in Up Down Girl ...*dead* ^^) , Trent ( how could you not love "bright ball of sunshine" ... Or as Finn will say of the group??? Also

His lines are freaking random XD) and Sebastian (yes i know he is mean ^{{\>£{\\ at times but dang his charm!! Also you have to admit he is a great performer and singer! Btw if he and Santana were not gay I'll ship them!!) 

Ok so this will come as a surprise as the other tv soundtrack is Sonny with a Chance! 

Just a heads up I may be on the verge of being 20 but i love watching Disney (confession... I still watch Austin & Ally and Good Luck Charlie) and hey you're never too old for Disney!

So Sonny With a Chance is one of the best  Disney live action series ( beats Hannah Montana and Wizard of Waverly place) and i freaking loved the series! I was quiet sad when they canceled the series but totally am ok an understandable with the reason. Demi Lovato who is the star of the show is one of my most favorites singer/actress/idol (cant wait to see her on GLEE!!) and she have a couple of songs on this album that i remember enjoying.

Other cast members also contributed to this soundtrack and Allstar Weekends (which is one of my favorite band) even have a song here! So it was sort of worth for me to get it since i have heard of it and love most of the songs. 

It was slightly more pricier than what i am normally willing to pay for a cd ($12 after discount to be exact) but it was on my wishlist since I was 17 and the only one of that in stores so yah... Kinda a impulse buy but i manage to justify it :p

Also random but if any of you are into video games ( I am one of them ;D)  you'll know there is a new PS3 excluseve game coming out call Beyond two Souls staring Ellen Page and seeing this display makes me pump for the game release! Yah just a random pic but i do love video games and i do play them but not own any as i borrow from friends (boy am I in their debt lolz) and I cant wait for thos game to be releasd! Have not been this excited since the release of The Last Of Us (another awesome game that you have to play is you love the ps3)

Now i only got one item from cotton on body (and noooooo its not... You know ;p)

So i got this really nice an comfy jumper... Or hoodie for $10 which is a real steal having  that one of this Hoodie usually cost like $30!

Most of the hoodie were not in my size so it was either this or a pink one that i was not a fan of and Blue is my favourite color its perfect! 

Me "modelling" my new hoodie

Its kinda a bold electric blue in a nice way with Nineteen ninety one written on. Its really nice and comfy so i can wear it when i just lazy to dress up for classes or want to lounge around in my sweats.

 So that's a quick little haul of stuff that i picked up today at the mall. Let me know what you think of this quick little pick ups??? maybe I'll do if more often .

Till Next time

Find Asos Uni Treasure Hunt... the crazy thing i do in life!

Heya!!!

So this afternoon was probably one of the craziest afternoon i have ever experience while at uni that has nothing to do with exams or assignments... instead i spent an hour +++ waiting in line on a VERY SUNNY DAY while dress like it is still in the dead of winter aka Ugg boots and jumper for the goodies that Asos was giving out at my uni!

Ok so first off i got a notification from the Lost on Campus app on my trusty iphone and it said that at mid day to type in #findasos into my phone which i did and when i got to the hidden treasure hunt place at midday MAN WERE THERE ALOT OF PEOPLE! lolz

So it turns out some have gotten the notification early or saw the clues around Uni so they got the advantage of being there early and alot of them have been waiting out there since 11am! gosh!

I reach there at 12pm just sprinted from my class and man the line ...

Yah i waited for 1 hour and 11 minute (yes i timed myself :P)

Spotted a random ASOS balloon flying ;p

So cause i was by myself i had no one to chat to so for once the ebooks on my ipad came in handy! :P

Read about 22 pages of French Star in New York by Anna Adams :P my current favorite book ... would have read wattpad or fanfic but my ebooks have lately been neglected :P

Also they gave out bottled water which was a good ideal of them having it was very VERY hot!! Cool cute bottle with ASOS on it!


So after an hour++ of waiting i finally got in and most of the stuff were gone! :'( NOOOO!!!!

But then i saw this jersey cold shoulder top and i was like.... yah my effort is not going to waste after all :P and picked it up and went.


When i got home i tried it on an ... um ....

Its long... ITS VERY LONG!! Lolz ita up to my leg so i assume this is actually dress... Yah i think its not a shirt but a dress...

I look like a modern version of Boo from Monster Inc!!! haha!!!

So i tucked in the shirt into my jeans, pull out a bit to loosen the ends and yay! i got myself a slightly loose cold shoulder shirt!

So guys lesson learned... is good things come to those who wait (yah i am once again quoting a David Archuleta song :P)  and its university ... we bound to do something crazy in our uni life... although compare to others I don't know how my "crazy" idea of waiting in line on a sunny day for hours just for freebies will be like to you guys ... haha.

Also ASOS gave everyone a 20% off coupon on your next order which is valid till 12 September 2013. Click the code below to be directed to the website.

FOUNDASOS

  

So go knock yourself out with this great coupon deal from Asos and treat yourself to that little something you've been eyeing on :D

Other than that ... just another ramble and random blog post from me :P

What's the craziest thing you've done for a freebie???? This was definitely one of the craziest thing I've done :P  

And by the way Hiiiiiiii xD!!!

Thought I post a pic of myself at the end! 

Just being random ;))))


Till Next Time!!!

Wish List #1: Sheinside.com

Heya!!

so lately i've been browsing around a few online shopping sites and a few things caught my eyes and i thought i'll share with you guys and who knows, maybe i'll get it someday :P

SheInside

Ok so i blame Polyvore for this as i stumble on this site while looking for some items to do an edit one day i type down London bus something ... yah i cant exactly remember but i stumble upon a nice top and was directed to its website which of cause its SheInside.

Most of the cloths sold here are around $20 to $80 so a bit pricy but save a bit every week hopefully i'll be able to treat myself to something off my list of wished. It also have free international shipping which is good meaning i'll have access to the site!

White Batwing Short Sleeve Red Bus Print T-Shirt 

Ok so this top was what trigger me to go and have a look at this site! 

The design is so SO cute! the design looks like a cover of a children story book! 

What's more i love the red bus!

White Batwing Short Sleeve Cakes Print T-Shirts-Print-T-Shirt

 

Ok so the picture is a bit blurry but ah well >.<* (you can click on the link aboce for a better picture of all the cloths.)

This one is similar to the one with the bus but instead it has picture of yummy sweeties! Candy, ice cream, macaroons *drool!* 

I love shirt that has cute yummy picture of food and the way its design makes it look unique and cute.

I might put this on hold however as the other day i was at cotton on body and i got two shirts that are very similar to this ... one with an ice cream on and one with a cherry soda. 

Yah i am obsess with cute tops with pictures of yummy food! ;D

Mint Green Sleeveless Pleated Belt Chiffon Dress 

Ok so i am not really a dress person and usually only wear them when for formal occasion or forced to but i really love how this one is design and my ideal dress will be those that are chiffon ish material.

This mint green dress is nice, simple and girly. 

I also am not a big fan of SUPER low cut so this is great!

Also the color! i love me some mint green!

Green Sleeveless Ruffles Pleated Chiffon Dress

 

This one dress is an alternative to the one above bit i feel like the shade is more blue that green. 

Either way this dress is pretty too!

This dress and the one above kinda reminds me of The Selection by Kiera Cass book cover where the girl (i believe its America Singers :P)  is with a dress similar to this! In other words i love it!

Also the design at the bottom of the is very unique! And yah I'm obsess with the color.

Apricot Contrast Ripped Denim Mesh Yoke Sundress 

Last dress on my wish list! 

Ok so i saw one of my favorite youtuber ilikeweylie have a dress similar to this but the shop she said she got it was kinda pricy (bout $60 to $80) and i saw this for about $25 ish which is reasonable in my budget

I love the paring of the mesh skirt with the denim vest!

Its simple yet girly and edgy (which i love).

Also unlike the ones above, its more casual. More like something i'll ware in the spring/summer.

I can see myself wearing it on a normal going to class day or going out with friends and i just want be dressier than usual.

Yah i am in love with this dress :P 

Ok ... so that concludes my wish list. Maybe i should do this as a weekly thing... what do you think??? 

Hopefully somewhere in the future i'll be able to get myself one of this guys!

Most probably i'll get the dresses first ... but which one??? :P

Let me know in the comments below on what do you think of this wish list.

Also if you guys have check out the site how bout letting us know in the comment your favorite items.

 

Till next time,

~oxox rotan~
