Date Night… with two little kids, and family nearby, I frankly cannot remember the last time hubby and I had a date night. Well, actually, I can… it was the night before our now 5.5 year old was born!! Hopefully not everyone is in the same situation… and to help a girl out, and just in time for Valentines Day, Bellabox has now launched a limited edition Date Night box in partnership with makeup artist Sharon Farrell. And the bumper of a beauty box has a value of a whopping $230, yet it can be yours for just $59.95.

The Bellabox Date Night box contains all the things a girl needs to create the perfect look for date night, from moisturiser to face masks, false lashes to a lip shade that will literally suit every skin tone, and from the ultimate fragrance to hairspray that makes flyaways a thing of the past, the Date Night box has been curated by a pro, and the step by step instructions from Sharon will ensure you can put your best face forward too.

The box also comes with product tips and a step-by-step guide get the look tutorial, so instead of worrying about your make-up before you head out, you’ll spend your date knowing you look incredible.”
The Bellabox Date Night box contains the following;
Blaq Mask Hyaluronic Acid Eye Masks - Sample, 1 pair (RRP: $29 / 5 pairs)These activated charcoal eye masks are loaded with hyaluronic acid and helps hydrate and revive the area under the eyes, and help t depute and make them look fresher.
Jergens Natural Glow + Firming Daily Moisturiser - Full Size ($14.99 / 221ml)
This this daily moisturiser helps gradually create a natural tan for a healthy gold, while helping to firm the skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Lancome Advanced Genifique Serum - Sample, 5ml (RRP: 159 / 50ml)
This serum is absolutely incredible and one of my favourites. It instantly leaves the skin feeling super soft, and continued wear will help plump the skin, while also brightening and evening out the skin tone too, and leave the skin more radiant.
Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist - Sample Size, 30ml (RRP: $35 / 50ml)
This rose facial mist not only smells absolutely incredible, it is also super soothing on the kin and helps to hydrate and balance the skin.
MAC Cosmetics Strobe Cream, Sample, 6ml (RRP: $56 / 50ml)
Who doesn’t love this Strobe Cream from MAC. It is moisturising, and gives the skin the most gorgeous lit from within natural glow. It can also be used on both face and body, such as on the decollete and shoulders too.
Real Techniques Mini Expert Face Brush, Full Size (RRP: $11.99)
Really got to love makeup brushes from Real Techniques, and this travel sized one is no exception. It is perfect to use with base products, wit everything from primer to blush. And the small size fits perfectly into the handbag too, in case touch ups are needed.
Eye of Horus Smokey Black Goddess Pencil, Full Size (RRP: $30 / 1.2g)
This Smokey Black eyeliner is another of my long time favourites. It is so soft and easy to apply, and it is so pigmented that it leaves a fully saturated line in just a single stroke. Yet it is also long wearing, staying put all day (and night), even on my watery eyes.
Clinique High Impact Mascara, Sample 3.5ml (RRP: $39 / 8ml)
I have very sensitive eyes, but this mascara has long been a favourite of mine as it is so gentle on my eyes. And it really does leave a high impact with long luminous lashes.
Manna Kadar Paradise Blush, Full Size (RRP: $19 / 3g)
This blush has a gorgeous pink shade with a subtle sheen, and it gives the cheeks such a beautiful and natural flushed look, though it can also be built up to be quite intense thanks to being so pigmented.
Eye of Horus Bio Lipstick in Vesta Red, Full Size (RRP: $34.95 / 4g)
This lipstick has such a stunning classic red shade, with a beautiful satin look. It is both very moisturising so feels lovely on the lips, as well as very pigmented, so it also stays put forever without fading or bleeding.
Clarins Lip Comfort Oil, Sample, 2.8ml (RRP: $35 / 7ml)
These lip oils from Clarins are huge favourites of mine. They simple feel incredible on the lips, so soft and moisturising, while giving the lips just a subtle tint of colour. And this Red Berry shade is just stunning, whether you wear it on its own for a subtle glossy look, or on top of your favourite lipstick for a bit more oomph.
Ardell Faux Mink Lashes, Full Size, 1 pair (RRP: $12.99)
These faux mink lashes will instantly take your look to the next level. Simply stunning.
Acqua di Parma Nobile, in Peonia Nobile, Sample, 1.5ml (RRP: $167 / 50ml)
And what’s a good night out without smelling amazing, and this fragrance will do just that with its notes of peony and geranium.
Aveda air control™ Hairspray, Sample 42.5g (RRP: $39.95 / 300ml)
This hairspray has lasting flexible hold that will help tame those flyaways, and keep your hair soft and smooth without frizz, and without leaving the hair feel dry or sticky.
Finally, there’s also a bonus card giving you 20% discount on Sharon Farrell’s Online Makeup School to take your own makeup application skills up a few levels.
This really is a great box, with a fantastic selection of products. I really love that it contains a large selection of high end premium products, such as Clinique, Lancome, Clarins, MAC, Aveda, and Jurlique to mention just a few. It is a great way to try new products, and such fantastic value for money too.
To make the most of all the products, Sharon Farrell’s tips are;
- 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.
