Bellabox is an Australian beauty sample subscription
service, that for the price of $15 a month will send subscribers at least 5
samples.
First off I got my box in a very timely manner this
month, unlike the June box so that made me really happy. The theme for the July
box was American beauty, but when I opened my box I could see a product from
Japan and another one from Australia which does not really fit in with the theme.
What was in my July Bellabox:
ANASTASIA Lash Genius Waterproof Topcoat (RRP $39 AUD for
5.3g) Sample size 3.2g
This is a decent sized sample of a product which I am not
sure if I would have gone out and brought for myself. I try to purchase
waterproof mascaras because I really dislike having smudged mascara. However I
do have a couple of non-waterproof mascaras mainly from other beauty subscription
boxes, so I think this will encourage me to use those mascaras up. I think the
concept behind this product is a good one, so hopefully it will work well.
URBAN RITUELLE Body Soap (RRP $4.95 AUD for 100g) Full size
product
I mainly use shower gels but I do use body soaps occasionally.
This soap is made in Australia which I think is great. This particular soap
does not have of a scent to it.
ORLY Nail Lacquer (RRP $18.95 AUD for 18ml) Sample size 5.3ml
My nail polish came in the colour ‘Beach Cruiser’ which is a
bright neon pink, which I quite like the look of. I am starting to get back into wearing nail
polishes so I am happy that I got a nail polish.
YU-BE Moisturizing Skin Cream (RRP $34.95 AUD for 70ml)
Sample size 3ml
This is a multi-use cream from Japan which is perhaps a bit
strange to get in an American themed box. The information that came with this
sample and Bellabox’s description of it makes the Yu-Be cream sounds very promising,
since it is a cult favourite in Japan.
DESIGNER BRANDS Lip Butter (RRP $4.99 AUD for 10ml) Full
sized product
I love lip products so I am definitely going to try this
product out and use it. I am a bit obsessed with lip balms and a have a few on
the go at any one time. This one is in the coconut flavour, and I think it
smells quite nice.
MARY KAY Botanical Effects Mask (RRP $37 AUD for 113g)
Sample size 3g
I try to give myself a facial mask treatment two times a
week, so I like getting these types of samples. I do think this is a small
sample for what it is, but hopefully there will be enough for me to fully cover
my face with it.
I also received a discount code to get 10% off online orders
with Designer Brands. I might have a look on their site and see if anything
takes my fancy.
Overall I am pleased with the July Bellabox, and for $15 I
feel like I got my money’s worth. I think I will use everything in the box and
it has exposed me to a couple of products that I had never been exposed to
before like the Yu-Be cream and the waterproof topcoat for mascaras.

therefore my opinions are my own
