Bellabox July 2012

Monday 16 July 2012



Bellabox has brought me so many new holy grail products. I've fallen in love with the OCC Lip Tars, the Nak Argan Oil and Pure Fiji products. I've also started using the Alpha H Skin Perfecting Kit, which I'll review in a couple of weeks.


So I'm so excited to get a new box every month. This months box is all about essential beauty buys. Usually essentials are boring, but not with Bellabox. Firstly, the box is really heavy, and FULL of items.


Let's see what's in the box...




You, Me & Everybody "Shady Lady Daily Face Milk" (75ml)
I've heard of this brand, but haven't tried anything from them before.This is a Broad Spectrum SPF 30+ moisturiser. I can't wait to try this as I really should use a separate sunscreen, rather than relying on make up that includes SPF. 


Carmex "Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm" (full size)
I love Carmex and have used it since I was a teen. The one thing I've always hated about it was it was only available in a pot (back in the day). I haven't tried the lip balm version, so I'm excited to try this. Lip balm is one of my essential products, and I can never have enough!


Neutrogena "Ageless Intensive Deep Wrinkle Eye Cream" (full size, 14gms)
This is one of the only Neutrogena products that I haven't tried. I love that Neutrogena is well priced and always great quality. I normally find that wrinkle creams are too heavy for my skin, so this will probably be used once or twice a week.


Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula "Night Renewal Cream" (sample size 15gms)
I actually already own this and use it every second night. It's really nice and thick without being heavy or greasy. Check out my review here for more details.


Ulta3 Nail Polish in "Mulberry" (full size, 13.5mls)
Ulta3 is a fantastic nail polish line that is inexpensive, but is still really great quality. I love this plummy colour for winter.


Almay "Get Up And Grow Mascara" (full size)
This has been on my to try list for ages. I actually already have one, so I might give this to my mum to try. I've heard some great reviews about it from bloggers. I like that it's gentle on the lashes to minimise damage and is safe on sensitive eyes.


Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub (sample size 15mls)
This is a great scrub that helps to gently exfoliate your skin without damage or being harsh. It's a great small sample, and I'll take it to Adelaide next week instead of bringing a full size exfoliator. 


Primaria  "Bath of Life Shampoo" and "Nourishing Silk Mask" (sample size 15mls each)
The name is a bit odd, but this is a shampoo that is supposed to make your hair stronger and silkier. There is also a sample of their Silk Mask. I love trying masks, and can't wait to try this out. 


Givenchy "Pi Neo" (sample size)
This is for the man in your life. Since Bellabox have a mens box, Bellobox, they are including a sample and also an information card about the mens box.


It also came with a cute mini make up bag.


So what did you think of the box? While I was sad there was not much make up, I think it was a great collection of different products.

    1. Have you tried the sunscreen yet? I really like it. Just make sure you don't apply too much or its really greasy and shiny.
