Bellabox August 2014 review

Bellabox is an Australian beauty sample subscription box that costs $15 AUD a month. I have been with them for almost a year and I really enjoy getting my monthly surprise from them. The theme for this month's box is 'Sport your style' but to be honest I am just not feeling the connection between the theme and the items.

Unlike some other Australian subscription boxes Bellabox seem to have a huge variation between what some subscribers receive, and I am pretty sure that this month I have the 'awesome' box.

What was in my August box:

SALLY HANSEN Complete Salon Manicure Nail polish (RRP $14.95 AUD) Full size product
This nail polish is suppose to be a base coat, straightener, growth treatment and nail polish all in the one product. Mine came in the shade 'Ivory Coat 131' which to be honest I am not totally thrilled with, but I guess I can use it on my toe nail or as french polish tips so it will not go to waste.

AVEENO Daily Moisturising Lotion (RRP $12.99 for 354ml) Sample size 29ml
I have tried this sample before and I thought it was okay but nothing special as far as moisturising lotions go.

SAVOIR FAIRE Eyeshadow (RRP $24 AUD) Full size product
I was pretty impressed to receive a $24 eyeshadow this month. My product is a purple eyeshadow called 'Acid 011' which I like the look of. The packaging is a little bit fancy with it's pop up function and an imprint of the brand's logo on the eyeshadow. I am looking forward to giving this a go.

BURT'S BEE Radiance Day Cream (RRP $39.95 AUD for 55g) Sample size 7g
I like Burt's Bee product so I am happy to get a sample of this new day cream, it smells lovely.

OGX Nourishing Coconut Milk Shampoo & Conditioner ($17.99 AUD for 385ml each) Sample Sample size 60 ml each
These shampoo and conditioner samples smell great, I just love the scent of coconut. I have heard good things about this brand so I am looking forward to seeing what this will do for my hair.

PALMER"S Cocoa Body Butter (RRP $9.99 AUD for 400ml) Sample size 
I haven't used this body butter in ages. This was something I used all the time in my high school / early uni days, so it is a bit of an old favourite of mine. Love the chocolately smell.

Verdict:
I am pretty happy with my box from Bellabox this month. I received two full sized products the nail polish and eyeshadow, which combined together come to a retail price of $38.95. Considering I paid $15 for this box including shipping I am pretty happy. In saying that I do think I have the better version of the boxes this month, there are some subscribers who feel a bit duded this month but I guess that is just how subscription boxes are sometimes.
