Bellabox is an Australia beauty sample subscription box which for the price of $15 a month subscribers receive at least 5 samples (and sometimes full sized products).
Usually I get my box in a very timely manner however my June box did not arrive until the second week of July. This was because of the courier service that Bellabox was trying out with some customers. I guess that I can't hold that against Bellabox but it was a little bit annoying, especially since I live in the same city as the Bellabox warehouse.
Now to have a look at what goodies I received for June.
GARNIER BB Cream Normal Skin (RRP $13.95 AUD for 40ml) Full sized product
I have used the Garnier sensitive BB cream and have liked it so I welcome receiving another one BB cream from them. I am glad that my product came in 'medium' which is the prefect colour for my skin. I had been planning to purchase the one designed for oily skin which I think might suit my skin better, but I guess I will just continue to add some powder. It is great that this BB cream now includes SPF, because many BB creams do not and I would have to apply sunscreen underneath.
OLAY Regenerist Revitalising Hydration Cream (RRP $34.99 AUD for 50g) Sample size 14g
I am 26 so I have not really been using anti ageing creams. This is a product that my mother uses so I am trying to decide if I should pass this on to her, or if I should just use it as a day time cream for myself.
HERBAL ESSENCES Naked Shine Shampoo and Conditioner (RRP $6.99 AUD each for 300ml) Sample size 40ml each
These samples are of a new range of hair care that are paraben and colourant free. I prefer to use shampoo and conditioners that do have nasty chemicals in them, so these are right up my alley. They smell amazing and I am looking forward to giving them a try.
BURT'S BEES Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme (RRP $19.95 AUD for 57g) Sample size 7g
I have a toddler and have been caring for my father so I have to wash my hands all the time, and my hands have been getting very dry so I was happy to get a hand cream. I really enjoy Burt's Bee product and after trying this for a couple of days I am very happy with this cream. I like the almond scent and the fact that it is not too greasey on your hands afterwards.
ST TROPEZ Self Tan Bronzing Face Lotion (RRP $49.95 AUD for 50ml) Sample size 5ml
I don't use tanners because I have olive skin so I will not be using this sample. I will be passing this on to a friend instead.
NUTRIMETICS Nutri-Rich Instant Radiance Beauty Balm (RRP $50 AUD for 50ml) Sample size 2ml.
When I first saw this sachet sample I thought it was another BB cream because BB means Beauty Balm. However the directions on the back make it sound like a treatment cream. I am a bit confused and will need to check out exactly what this cream is designed for.
INSTYLE AUSTRALIA Magazine (RRP $9.95 AUD)
I don't normally buy magazines (unless they have freebies with them) but I do enjoy reading them. I was actually in hospital last week so I was grateful that I had something to read.
Overall I am happy with my June Bellabox, I was not amazed by the samples inside but with the exception of the tanning lotion I will be using everything in this box. I think for $15 (including postage) that Bellabox is great value, especially with the full size BB cream.
Disclaimer: I brought this box with my own money. My thoughts are my own and not influenced by anyone else.
Someone actually asked how to use the Nutrimetics BB and someone from Bellabox replied that you can use it refresh your make up! They said just lightly tap it on top your make up. I haven't used it like that as I hate the smell! It reminds me of a cough syrup! LOL
ReplyDeleteI do find it nice as a serum before applying a primer. Have you used it already? What do you think of it?
Thanks for letting me know I was a bit clueless.
DeleteNo I haven't tried it yet, I might try it tomorrow.
I love the Burt's Bees hand cream too. Nice and rich!
ReplyDeleteI am really loving the Burt's Bee hand cream, but I think the full size product might be a bit dear.
