When I was contacted in regards to trying and reviewing the Bellabox, I
was super excited. My friends have signed themselves up for a couple of
different beauty sample boxes, and have only said good things. I have been
meaning to sign myself up to one of them, but just haven't got around to it.
But I also think the little voice inside my head got the better of me, as I
thought you literally get sent little sample satchels (but boy was a wrong.)
The only disappointing for me was when I read through the theme card and what
was actually in my box, it said there was a moustache necklace... Which I never
found in the box :-(
Now when I received my Bellabox in the mail, I instantly noticed the box
itself is really heavy duty and protects the contents inside.. I'm not sure
anybody would receive a damaged Bellabox, it is that good (unless the postie is
super rough.)
The Bellabox is the Aussie version of beauty boxes in America such as the
glam box or the glossy box. Each Bellabox has a theme, mine this month was the
Soirée Season Staples.
Or if you would like to get your hands on your very own Bellabox then you
can at www.bellabox.com.au
You can choose from 1 Month membership for $15 or the 1 year membership
for $165.00 you also get one month free when picking the yearly. If you don't
want to get the box anymore after a few times and you already have signed up
for the 1 year then this membership is fully transferable.
Anyhoo, this is what my November Soiree Season Staples BellaBox contained
Bioderma Sebium H2O
cleansing water
250ml will set you back RRp $29.95
The bottle I received was a sample sized 20mls, which is really cute and
got me about 3 facial cleanses out of it. I love how easily it cleans off your
make-up and leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean. I would most likely go out
and buy this again in the full size if I a on the market for a facial
cleanser.
Skinmiso Pore Beauty Nose Pack
10 sheets will cost
RRP $21.99
This thing is pretty much a nose patch much like others you can get to
remove them blackheads from your nose area. Although I much prefer this one
over the others I have used, it is so much more gentle and is also two
steps.
1. The first step is applying the patch to your nose, making sure the area
is freshly washed and wet. You leave that one on there off about 10 minutes,
although it made my nose itchy and twitchy only because a foreign object was on
there.
2. Then you removed the mask nose patch and exfoliate with the little
cotton bud looking thing, which is actually a little exfoliator.
3. After you have done this you wash the nose area again, and apply the
second mask for another 10minutes. This mask pretty much hydrates and protects
the area you have just treated so you don't end up with a dry patchy nose.
4. Then once all that is done you can rub in the essence for that extra
clean shiny feeling ( although the sample pack doesn't contain this.)
Dr LeWinn's Facial
Polishing Gel
RRP 150g $39.95
I am a big fan of Dr LeWinn's and all of their products, they are so
gentle on my sensitive skin.
And this cleansing gel is no exception, you only have to use this once a
week as it is a deep cleanse and you don't want to dry and damage your
skin.
I love when it comes around to Tuesday as this is the day I have chosen to
use this cleanser and my skin just feels so fantastic.
The size I got in the Bellabox is actually really decent. I have used this
3 times already and it's not even 1/4 down the tube. It's great because there
is also little tiny exfoliating particles in the scrub, so it gently takes away
all them dead skin cells. Leaving your face fresh and shiny.
Dr LeWinn's Skin perfect primer and Dr LeWinn's skin perfect foundation
RRP$29.95 and $39.95
These two were little sample sizes for a one time use, and they did just
that. But again with Dr LeWinn's this is just a tease because I always want to
come back for more.
The thing I love both about these two product is when use together they
are so. Lightweight on the skin and you wouldn't even know you we're wearing
anything. But the foundation covers all them blemishes and even them nasty red
pimples. I do love this foundation and will look into getting the full size
product as I just loved it so much. If anybody knows me they will know I LOVE
MAKEUP!!
4me Nail Polish
Remover Pads
RRp:$3.49 for 30 pads.
This was a full size sample aswell.
These remover pads are just so easy and simple to use. I will never look
back at the good old remover and cotton balls or tissues. I also find the pads
remove the nail polish the first time, there's no need for scrubbing and drying
out them cuticles.
The smell also isn't strong and burns your eyes and nose. The main and
best thing about these nail polish removing pads is that they are acetone and
alcohol free. I will definitely be jumping onto Bellabox and buying more of
these.
Swisse Hand Cream with
Vitamin D and Pomegranate
RRP $14.95
Tired stressed? You'll feel better with Swisse on your hands ;-) hehe.
I love hand creams and hate whenever my hands are dry and yuck. The smell
of this cream is also very light and pleasant, I applied it in my car and did
some shopping to return to my car smelling like my Swisse hand cream.
I think this would be worth the whole $14.95, but I really love this cute
little sample size; perfect for my bag.
Palmolive Body Butter-
Luscious Mango moisturising body wash
RRP $6.49
I actually just bought a bottle of this while shopping last week. They
were on special at the super market and though why not give it a shot, plus as
soon as I opened the bottle to smell it I fell in luurrve.
I will be saving this little beauty for when I travel though, it's the
perfect size and just like the big ones only miniature.
The lid also comes off so I will be refilling it with the big one. If you
love fruity smelling things and mangoes you will adore this one.
B by Bloom Col.ecta
Colour Cheek Tint
RRP $19.95 and this is a full size product.
I know this says it is a cheek tint, but I LOVE using this an eyeshadow it
just stays on my eyes for hours and hours.
Summer is all about natural colours and looking your best without the
overkill of makeup. But when I use this on my cheeks I actually use it overly
rose blush, as I find it more of a highlight then a colour. It makes your face
look like it is glowing.
Well beauties that is my Bellabox, after receiving this one, I know it is
very much worth the pennies. Just the cheek tint alone was worth more then you
would actually pay for the entire box. I am now sold and well become a Bellabox
babe, then I know every month I will be getting a surprise and will never run
short on things to review and blog about :-)
If you have had an experience good or bad with the Bellabox please do let
me know. Or if you think there is a box out there worth a go feel free to drop
me a line :-)
