October Bellabox Review and November Bellabox

October Bellabox Review

WOW another month gone and I have been extremely busy so I have to say I'm happy to be sitting down to write this post. I really enjoyed the October Bella box and as my November box has arrived I thought it time I shared my thoughts.

Estee Lauder Resilience Lift Instant Action Lift Treatment.
Easy to apply and very light on the skin but don't really feel that I personally got any true benefit out of it, given I'm late twenties my skin is still taut and terrific (and yes I am bias) so lifting and firming just really isn't warranted.

Clinique Turnaround Concentrate Extra Radiance Renewer.
I really enjoyed using this one and a little bit went along way. So easy to smooth over and go, no wait to dry. My skin does feel smoother and rough patches around my nose have been minimised. I have not use this twice daily as directed so I still have product left and will continue to use.

Sally Hansen Insta-dri Fast Dry Nail Colour.
I already owned this colour when I recieved this last month but I have to say its still impressive. This soft pale pink is the perfect colour when you want to wear polish but don't really want the colour. It also makes the perfect base to a french manicure or when you want to support colour tips but not have the base colour overshadow. These also come with a wide applicating brush and fast dry is perfect for someone as impatient as I am.

Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Balm-Sheer Pink Tint.
To be honest not a fan. I love the original and use it all the time. So was excited that I would be able to give this ago even before I'd seen it in store. The colour is a really sheer despite looking so vibrant in the tube. It still is as moisturising as the original but it doesn't last as long I found I'd apply and 10 mins later feel I needed to reapply bit disappointing.

DKNY Fresh Blossom Eau So Intense.
Sadly the vial of perfume broke while in transit so I never got to try on the skin. But my box still smells pretty and I've been keeping hairbands in it for storage.

NAK Care 4 Ends Leave in Moisturiser.
Another product from the box I have really enjoyed. Easy application and beautiful smell it gives moisture without leaving my hair overly fluffy and unmanageable. Its so easy to put in comb through and style no fuss. I'm a fan!!! 

So overall a really great box for the month of October but we must say good bye to the October box and HELLO to the November box!!! As usual Bellabox haven't slowed down  sending a box that gets us in the mood and ready for the party season.

November Bellabox

Soiree Season Staples is the theme for Novembers box getting us preped for summer and the christmas party scene. And BellaBox have covered us from head to toe!!!

Palmolive Luscious Mango Body Butter Body Wash
Not the most excited about this inclusion but then I realised that this would make the perfect addition to my travel toiletries I've recently decided to down size my travel pack and this will slip in just nicely!!! It also smells really nice so bonus there.

Organic Spa Face Exfoliant
I'm a face scrub fan so I'm interested to give this one a try. I have roughness around my nose and flaky patch in between my brows so challenge is set for this one!! It includes natural ingredients including luffa, walnut shell and rice bran but also creamy. I'm hoping its not overly rough but also not too soft so it gets the job done.

Ocean Essence Gold Eye Cream

This is the first of the full sized products included in the box. Infused with 18K gold, pearl essence and shea butter. Although I'm not into eye creams reading the packaging I was prompted me to try!!! I've only used it once but I'm happy with the results my skin is softer and does seem to have a slight glow so I'm happy to keep using and see longer term results. Also remember to apply eye creams not directly to the lids or under the eyes like you would concealer. Apply onto the brow bone and below almost at the eye socket level seems low but natural capillary action will carry the cream upwards were it does the job without puffiness and irritation. 

Bloom Glitter Liquid Eyeliner
Again a full size product and I received the shade Star Struck which is a purple glitter. While I love makeup I don't feel I suit glitter on my eyes having said that I have seen this used on the nails to create a giltter tip and nail decorations so I'm going to give that a go.

Bioderma Sebium H2O Cleansing Water.
Initally I was not excited to see this after recieving the Crealine version of this product in another box (not sure if it was Bellabox or Lust have it) I wasn't that impressed. I am a long term user of make up wipes due to the convience factor but I've recently read a common preservative used in the wipes can be harmful to your health at the same time I also have been questioning there efficiency particularly when it comes to mascara and eyeliner. Well I can now say I stand corrected. This stuff is gold a simple cotton pad soaked in this product and my make up is gone it makes short work of eyeliner and mascara too. I have also compared it with the other version (hiding in the back of the bathroom cabinet) and this one is so much better my skin is cleaner and I will have to investigate the full size!!!

Swisse Hand Cream with Vitamin D and Pomegrante.
Was a little excited to see this as I have been wanting to try out the Swisse range since seeing it in priceline it is a little expensive which is why I've held off so very happy to be able to try before I buy. I'm a bit lazy when it comes to applying hand creams but I intend to carry this tube with me so I can apply at anytime. I wash my hands a lot at work and soap does dry them out quite a bit.

4me Nail Polish Remover Pads
Bellabox has read my mind with these ones I have been looking for something like these for ages I used to use a swisspers version but can't seem to find them. These are great for travel but also good for being able to take your nail polish off where ever and whenever you want!!!

So that wraps it for Bellabox November with three full size products and decent sample sizes this is a box that value for money. can't wait to try all the products and will review next month!! Enjoy the party season everybody and I'll talk to you all soon.
