DATE NIGHT DONE RIGHT – Bella Box Presents Date Night Box – Just in time for Valentine’s Day 2019
I know that since becoming a mumma of our two beautiful boys, date nights are few and far between. We used to have date nights weekly back in our pre-kids days of living inner city in our river-side apartment. We had the best cafes and restaurants that Brisbane had to offer, right on our door step. Our eldest is going to be four this year, and I can count on my two hands how many date nights we have had over the years of being proud parents. Life gets busy, we all get tired, but making time for the man that you love, or the woman that you love, does also need to take priority. This Valentine’s Day, we are heading away for the night. Thank you Nan and Pop for looking after the munchkins! We can’t wait to get dressed up, go out for dinner, have a spa treatment, eat breakky in peace and enjoy a toast of what will be our 12th Valentine’s Day together.
One thing that I struggle with at the moment, is finding that perfect outfit, heading to the shops little one free to pick up the lippy that has run out. It often is my husband trying to pick something up for me on his way home from work. Thanks hubby for being such a good sport! He really is quite good at knowing all about make up these days. (Not that he would like to admit that to his mates!) But trust me babe, you are a keeper, not many guys would stand in the make-up aisles of Priceline, Woolies or Chemist Warehouse. I salute you! Which brings me to why the Date Night Box is so amazing! All of the very best brands, and all conveniently delivered to you, right on your doorstep, and in such beautiful packaging! It’s a winner in my eyes. I know that I have already hinted to hubby as I would love something like this for my gift to tie in perfectly with our special romantic night away together. And heck, my mumma tired eyes sure do need it too! Fellow mummas out there, who agrees that a bit of lippy simply makes you feel alive again after a big night with the kids, you want to feel beautiful, you want to feel alive again and beautiful. In my opinion, Bella Box does that. Well done to Sarah and Emily, the founders of Bella Box, I love the concept and I am sure that your business is going to continue on to have great success. The Date Night Bella Box is such amazing value! Only $59.95 with product value worth $230! AMAZING! xo

Sharon’s Tips:
Exfoliate in the shower before using the Jergens Natural Glow + Firming Daily Moisturiser and be sure to wash your hands after to avoid tanned palms!
Try the Real Techniques Mini Expert Face Brush for all your base products, I love to use mine for everything from primer to cream blush.
Keep your Blaq Mask Hyaluronic Acid Eye Masks in the fridge for extra de-puffing power. They feel especially good on tired eyes.
Take a minute to really massage the Lancome Advanced Genifique Serum before applying makeup to stimulate blood flow and get skin looking extra plump and fresh.
MAC Cosmetics Strobe Cream is a gorgeous on the face – either all over or as a strategic highlighter – and it looks amazing on the body too. Who doesn’t want shiny collarbones?
Try wiggling the Clinique High Impact Mascara wand into the roots of the lashes before pulling through the ends to deposit maximum product near the lashline – smoky eyes in a flash.
Eye of Horus Bio Lipstick in Vesta Red is the perfect classic red on the lips and also makes a beautiful rosy blush. Apply a small dab to the apples of your cheek before powdering and blend with your Real Techniques Mini Expert Face Brush
Line your inner water-lines with the Eye of Horus Smokey Black Goddess Pencil and smudge with the attached sponge for a 10 second smoky eye that will not budge all day or night.
If you struggle to apply false lashes try snipping your Ardell Faux Mink Lashes in two and applying them in halves.
Spritz skin with Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist before and after makeup for extra hydration and fresh dewy skin.
Hold the Aveda air control™ Hairspray about 15 cm away from your hair before spraying for a fine mist that holds but won’t feel sticky or crunchy.
Apply Acqua di Parma Nobile to your pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the knees) for fragrance that lingers all day.
Wear Clarins Lip Comfort Oil alone or over lipstick for a high gloss effect that’s not sticky and keeps your pout hydrated all day.
Try sweeping Manna Kadar Paradise Blush lightly over your lids for a subtle rosy tone that ties in perfectly with your cheeks.
