Unfortunately I missed out on both of the products I was lusting to receive, the Benefit Porefessional Balm and the Kester Black nail varnish. Boo! Anyway, more on my feelings about Bellabox later... here is what was in this month's box:
The packaging this month is a marked improvement on previous boxes. It is a lot sturdier and there is less of a chance of anything getting damaged (unlike last month, everything was stuffed into a small crap paper box). Hopefully they keep with this packaging for all future boxes! Anyway, onto what was actually in the box!!
Ok, so this month was a themed box "Celebrate Summer". Above is the little card you receive detailing exactly what is in the box. These are good as it gives you a blurb about each product as well as how much they are worth.
Above are the products I received. Each one in detail as follows:
Limited Edition Bellabox Tote Bag
"The terrific beach toting bag to do summer in style!"
RRP $19.95
"The terrific beach toting bag to do summer in style!"
RRP $19.95
A good little tote bag, I don't think you can have too many of these! Definately not worth $19.95 though. I'll be using this on my holiday to Mollymook in February (yay beach).
Aurora Spa Vanilla & Honey Lip Moisturiser - FULL SIZE PRODUCT 10ml
"Give your dry or chapped lips their own spa treatment with Aurora Spa. Infused with cocoa butter, papaya, vanilla and honey it's as refreshing on chapped lips as a much needed holiday drink!"
RRP $25.00 (10ml)
A good little balm this one. When I first used it I didn't like it as it tasted a bit weird, however I got used to it quickly (I guess i'm used to glosses which taste of strawberry!) and it really does do a good job of moisturising your lips! I have lips which can get really dry and this really helps. $25 is a bit steep, but if I had a bit of extra money I would go and purchase. Happy with this one! (Love that it is full size too).
Nuxe Nirvanesque Cream 15ml
"Another year, a couple more fine lines and wrinkles - and they dont only appear after 40! Deter environmental radicals no matter your age with Nuxe. The 80% natural ingredients in this relaxing cream soothe and nourishe in one.
RRP $49.95 (50ml)
I like anti wrinkle creams and am looking forward to trying this one. I like that it is a good sized sample so I can get a few uses out of it. It has a good texture and the smell is not too overpowering - i can't stand strong smelling skincare. I'll review this more in a empties/project pan post when I've finished the sample.
Avene Antirougeurs Fort Relief Concentrate 5ml
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer can keep the rosy look to himself! Prevent and smoothe redness on sensitive skin with Avene. Formulated with Ruscus Extract to tone down the appearance of blood vessels on skin surface, it'll soothe your skin at the same time
RRP $38.95 (30ml)
Another product i'm looking forward to trying. I unfortunately suffer from redness and sensitive skin so this sounds good to me. It is a small sample, but should be able to get a good use out of it. I'll review when I've finished the sample.
Romy Eucalyptus and Lemongrass Body Lotion 40ml
"Summer is the time to feel fresh and the ingredient list of this lotion contains antiseptic properties that soothe, calm and hydrate to do just that for skin!"
RRP $29.95 (300ml)
I have not heard of this brand before so was looking forward to trying it - i love body lotions. Unfortunately though, this one is not for me. It smells like some kind of anti-mosquito spray so that puts me off straight away! It also left my skin a little greasy. The only good thing about it is that a little goes a long way, so I could see that it would last a long time.
Limited Edition Mary Kay Fluid Eye Colour FULL SIZE 1.7g
"Buildable colour pigments allow you to adjust the intensity of your eye shadow look to suit any time of the day! Boosted with Aloe & more, they also keep the fragile skin around eyes hydrated and protected.
RRP $20
RRP $20
I'm not so sold on Mary Kay products, however it was good to try this one. From looking at the packet I wasn't super fussed on the colour, however it does actually look quite nice once on your skin. It does what is says with the 'buildable' colour, however I think most shadows do that... It lasts a fair while without budging which is a good thing too. An okay product but I wouldn't rave about it, nor would I purchase it again.
Eslor Sample Pack 4 x 5ml
"Experience the Eslor range - perfect to pack for overnight getaways this summer"
Eslor Comforting Mask RRP $49.95 (50ml)
Eslor Replenishing Scrub RRP $36.95 (50ml)
Eslor Soothing Cream RRP $84.50 (50ml)
Eslor Soothing Refiner and Cleanser RRP $36.95 (50ml)
I usually absolutely loathe sachets however I do like the look of these. I like that you get to try out the whole range. They look like good products and i'm looking forward to trying them out!
Mor Essentials Hand Cream 3ml
RRP $14.95 (80ml)
Again, I hate sachets but I have used Mor before and liked it. I am just about to use up my current hand cream so sampling this one has come up at the right time. I'll open and review as part of my project pan post.
So this month, 7 products of those 2 were full sized, plus the tote bag. A reasonably good box but it isn't brilliant. I was so disappointed to not receive Benefit or Kester Black products, but I suppose it is how the cookie crumbles with these subscription boxes. I am also subscribed to Lust Have It and Her Fashion Box and those have been far better than Bellabox recently. Bellabox is the cheapest at $15 per month so I can't complain too much! I did however sign up for a yearly sub to Bellabox and am somewhat regretting that! (not to mention I have a million and one products to use up oops!). Hopefully the new year will bring better Bellabox for me.
What do you think? Are you subscribed to Bellabox? What did you receive?
