Bellabox July Review 2015

So my Bellabox for this month arrived a little late. 5 days late. Normally it takes 2 days to arrive from Melbourne, but this time it took 5 days. Which to be honest annoyed me a little bit, but I'm just glad I got it in the end. And this months box is pretty good and I see myself using...well everything. Let's get into it!

Proactiv+ Complexion Perfection Hydrator

Lightweight Moisturiser, suitable for all skin types.

I'm pretty excited to recieve this, I mean come on, its Proactiv, and this stuff is expensive. And my God, Its a pretty decent sized container too. 1 FL OZ to be exact. I'm super excited to use this and there will be a review on this in the future.

Full Size Retails At: $60.00 (89ml)

Palmolive Body Polish Shower Gel

Delicious exfoliating body wash

Delicious? Um, yes. This stuff smells so good and smells like berries. It also contains real berry seeds as part of the exfoliation beads which is pretty neat. I'll be taking this away on my Melbourne adventure when I travel there next month.

Full Size Retails At: $6.79 (400ml)

MOR Hand Cream

This was this months bonus gift, and I'm kind of jealous of everyone else as they got an Essie polish (-cries-) Not that MOR is a bad brand I haven't used them to be honest and I know they are good when it comes to hand creams and body butters. Its just....I'm an Essieholic.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub

Gentle daily scrub...healthier-looking complexion.

This is a pretty decent sized exfoliator (in my opinon). And I can't wait to use it.

Full Size Retails At: $12.99

Neutrogena Make-Up Remover Cleansing Towlettes

A perfect travel bag accessory

I agree Bellabox team. This is a perfect travel bag accessory. I actually wanted travel makeup wipes, but haven't been able to find them anywhere. So to get them in my Bellabox is actually great. And theres 7 wipes in there which is the perfect amount.

Full Size Retails At $7.99

Model Co Shadow Sticks (St Bart)

Newly launched eyeshadow stick

You all know how I feel when it comes to ModelCo. I don't think they are that great and use too many chemicals in their products. But from testing this product out on my hand, I rather like it so far. But I have used shadow sticks before that stain on the lids so will this one also stain my lids? We will find out and I will get back to you all on that.

So thats my Bellabox for this month. I do know that in the next Bellabox they are collaborating with Max Factor which is super exciting and I can't wait to see which makeup product they feature next month.

Bella Box June 2015 Overview

Brighten up your Winter with a Pop of Colour

That was the quote on the information sheet this month. And I kind of love it. Its something I've been trying to do lately, as I wear black and dark colours during the winter. This months box was a great box. And basically all paid for as it had 3 full size products inside. Lets get into it!

Original Source Skin Quench in Pineapple and Coconut Oil

...Will leave you feeling quenched, nourished and revitalised

I was pretty pumped to see this massive full size product in my box, and I dont think I have ever recieved one this big from Bellabox either so this was totally awesome to find. It smells really nice and I cannot wait to use it.

Full Size: $4.99

Sleek Iridescence Shimmer Glaze

Infused with tiny particles of glitter and pearlscent pigments for long lasting shimmer

I was so happy to recieve this product as I'm quite a fan of Sleek but have never tried them before. I just know they are cheap and worth the money. This nude shade is perfect for me because I know I will get alot of use out of it.

Full Size: $12.50

MooGoo Skin Care Full Cream Moisturiser

...designed to hydrate and soothe the skin...

I kinda can't wait to try this moisturiser as I love creamy, refreshing ones and this sounds just like that. And its full cream too which I haven't heard of in moisturisers before either.

RRP: $13.50

Universal Beauty Cosmetics Siren Tint Stick

Pucker up for your pop of colour this winter!

Eh, not the biggest fan of this. I mean its pigmented as hell. But when I put it on, the product bled. and that was just swatched on my hand. I put it on my lips and it bled a little bit but compared to the Revlon version of a tint stick, I'd rather stick with them as they dont bleed. Also I don't wear red.

Full Size $19.99

Model Co Double Sided Facial Wipes

...exfoliate and cleanse in just one wipe!

In case you don't know, which I don't think I've mentioned it before. But, I'm not a fan on Model Co. I've tried their mascara - it smelled of chemicals and burnt my eyes. I've tried their tint - it stained my cheeks and tasted horrible on my lips. So from experience I don't like them. BUT. However I have heard their skincare is pretty good. So I am skeptical about trying this. Is it going to work? Or is it going to be a big flop? I'll let you guys know in a follow up post.

RRP:$7.99

Palmolive Naturals Active Nourishment Shampoo and Conditioner

Okay. I do not need anymore shampoo and conditioner samples. In my familys bathroom we have an entire drawer dedicated to samples and 99% of it is shampoo and conditioner. I won't be using it for 1 reason. I have a dry scalp. I thought it was fine a month ago so I used regular shampoo and conditioner and it stuffed my scalp up and I've only just got it back to 'normal' again. However, this product did come with a 50% off Coupon for this product and they do have a type for dry scalp. So I might buy that as I need more shampoo and conditioner

RRP $4.99

Overall I think this months box was pretty good and I'm excited to use most products.

Empties #2

Time for another 'shit I'm throwing out' post. Just incase any of you were curious as to what I am throwing in my bin this week.

 First item thats going in the bin is my old eyelash curler that I just bought at Daiso. Nothing too special about it. I have naturally curled lashes so I don't often use my curler too regularly and this was just getting old and I need a replacement.

 

All of these lipsticks either make my teeth more yellow than they are, or have no colour pay off and thats the reason why I am throwing them out.

 

I've had this for about a year and its just gone rock hard. As you can see in the picture you can see where I've forced my nail into it. Into the bin eyeliner.

 

I got this about 2 months ago to do one job, sharpen the pencils. It broke one cause its just not a very smooth operating sharpener.

 

Finally onto products I've actually used. I used this Moisturizing Day Cream by Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula and one it smelt delightful and two it left my skin feeling so good.

 

I had a love hate relationship with this mascara as you can read from my review here. The top lash mascara was difficult to use, and the lower lash mascara was easier to use. It has started to go clumpy so I'm throwing it out.

 

I am in love with this mascara. Its hands down one of my favourites by Essence just behind the (Big Lash Effect?) You can read my review on it here.

 

This product came in my first ever bellabox and to be honest...I tried using it but I'm just not feeling it. It tastes like crap and the colour just isn't pink enough. Its too red.

 

These are my Holy Grail wipes. I buy them all the time and will most likely buy them again. (Unless WotNot is cheaper....)

 

I was sorting through my drawers one day and found this, I had honestly forgot I had it. These wipes are fantastic, and - actually I did a review on them, here ya go

So there! Thats all the junk I'm throwing in the bin.
