Bellabox May Review 2015

I've decided I'm going to call the 'unboxings' 'reviews' now seeing as I record my unboxing and this is just my added input of what was inside of the box. My thoughts on the overall box for May - It was a great box filled with goodies I am excited to use - and already using the products. This months box was a collaboration with Pop Sugar and focused on highlighting certain areas.

 Lets get into the box!

Romy Nouveau Moisturising Body Balm

'...rich moisturising ingredients to hydrate and nourish your skin'

This body balm feels and smells so good. Its got the scent of Eucalyptus and Lemongrass which is a wonderful combination. Its fresh and rejuvenating and I'd probably consider buying the full size. But seeing as I own many body balms/lotions, thats something that I can think of later.

Full Cost $38.00 300ml 

John Frieda Frizz Ease Unwind Curls Calming Creme

'...Fight frizz of any hair type'

I personally don't have frizzy hair, I have wavy hair so I have no use of this but I gave it to my sister who has frizzy wavy hair. She seemed happy about it but not excited as shes into books and is quite a nerd.

Full Price: $15.99 Available at Priceline

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Moisture Rich Night Cream

'...help promote a softer, smoother and younger looking complexion'

As you all know, I have a deep love for PCBF and the brand never ceases to let me down so I was excited to try out a new product by them and I just LOVE this night cream. Its hydrating but not too hydrating. Its the perfect amount for that 'I've just taken off my makeup and cleansed my face now lets add some moisture back into my skin' look.

Shanghai Suzy Lipstick - Miss Courtney Electric Flamingo

'...for the perfect on-trend, bold matte lip.'

I don't own anything by Shanghai Suzy but I've always wanted something by them. Lets start off with my love for the packaging. Its so classy and neat. Its easy to tell what colour it is and the lip closes securely. Now for the colour, not something I'd personally choose but I threw out a bright pink a few months back and I've regretted it ever since and have been trying to find a replacement and I think this is it. I will soon be doing a look based on this lip colour.

RRP: $12.95

Chella Cinnamon Highlighter Pencil

'...perfect for contouring'

I agree with the bellabox team that this pencil is perfect for contouring. However. After swatching it on my hand and playing with it, I find that this product is incredibly hard to blend out and leaves a harsh line so I don't really like this product.

RRP: $24.95

BONUS: J Bronze Face Flawless Tan

I'm, not a fan of this. 1 - I don't tan because I personally don't like the look on me. 2- I dom't thnk the face is a place where tan should go.

March Bellabox 2015

Been a while since I did one of these isn't it. I miss doing these unboxings and I get so excited when I recieve a box. Like I seriously cannot contain myself. I looked like a kid on Christmas Morning because you don't know whats inside, and thats what counts. Excuse the messy photo I can't be bothered waiting for photoshop to open to crop it.

Make your eyes pop with these high quality, German made coloured eye pencils. I was pretty excited to see The Colour Theory in my box because I've heard of them, but haven't tried them out before and I'm pleased with the colour I was given. I was given the colour Charcoal which is a smokey grey colour and I was in need of one of these as some days I feel like not wearing black or nude liner and this is the perfect shade I need. These retail for $4.00.

This amazing lightweight formula is designed to absorb oil and provide long lasting mattification. I'm kind of over seeing Avene products in Bellaboxes to be quite honest. I mean, its a good product but I swear I used to get an Avene product in every other box. But this product I'm happy with. Its for Oily Skin - which I have so I'm keen to try it out. The 40ml bottle of this retails at $25.95.

Protect and perfect your skin with this amazing daily moisturiser! I love anything by Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula. They never cease to let me down, well not yet anyway. I'm excited to use this as I'm trying to get into moisturising my skin more as I'm slack at it. So lets see how this goes. The 150g Bottle of this product retails at $14.95.

This gentle cleanser will effortlessly remove impurities, excess oil and makeup from your complexion, while helping your skin retain its moisture balance. I cannot wait to try this product by Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula and see how well it removes my makeup. Its probably my favourite item in my box this month. The 150g bottle retails at $9.99.

This leave in nourishing cream will protect your hair and leave it feeling silky and smooth! I cannot pronounce the name of this for the life of me. But its by Loreal and its the Kerastase Paris Nutritive Nectar Thermique. Whatever that means. But its for Dry to Very Dry hair, and my mother has a very dry hair condition so I'm going to pass this along to her.

BONUS'

Revlon Photoready Airbrush Effect Foundation in Shade Natural Beige. Now I think this may be too dark for me seeing as I'm in shade Buff in my other Revlon Foundation and according to findation.com I should be in shade Shell in this range. So its a pity, but I might give it to Mum as shes darker than me. #I'mAPaleShit

Question. Why is there a fudging highlighter in a beauty subscription box? My first thoughts when I saw this was WTF. I mean like its handy and all but, I asked for Beauty Samples not Stationary Items.
