Bellabox April and March Review

Hi Readers, Hope this post finds you well!! I have just received my April Bellabox so thought it was time to get writing on my thoughts on the last box I received.

BellaBox March Review.

Ocean Essence Coconut Body Milk
This is one product that I really have not reached from the march box primarily because I just didn't really enjoy the coconut scent. I did only really use it once so there is still a bit left I may re gift it to a family member at some point.

Simuolive Olive Hydrating Shower gel
I have been really impressed by this shower gel. It foams up beautifully, smells lovely and fresh and cleans really well. I have not only been using it as a shower gel but also as a face cleanser and it has not dried out my skin like most shower gels do. Will defietley try an get a full size of this one!!!

Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire
Really enjoyed this scent and its a shame you don't get more in the sample!! It lasts a long time and while it does soften it doesn't completley fade during the day. It is a bit on the expensive side so I may not purchase the full size but defietley enjoyed giving it a try.

Designer Brands Lip Pencil in the shade Nude
For me this is really a my lips but better shade and the colour blends in quite easily under so many lipsticks. Its so was so easy to apply, blend and the sharpener in the lid really handy for travelling. 

Yes to Carrots C Me Shine Lip Gloss in the shade Playful Nude.
This product I thought was a really great inclusion particularly when it came with a matching lip liner it really was a great lip duo that I didn't have to think about. With both colour being on the nude natural side they are a great everyday combo. Only downer was I did sometimes find the gloss a little sticky!!!

Swisse Active Energy Bar
I still feel this was an odd inclusion in the box, it was choclatey but very heavy and I didn't really enjoy it so will most likely no be buying more of these.

Bellabox April
This box comes with the theme of Innovative Beauty and is launching BB's new addition the bellabox store you can now not only go direct to their website and buy products but also sms or email direct using the codes on the card to get your products direct to your door. Its innovtive I've not heard of it before and might for future purchases give it a go!!!



Cellilux Glacial Mineral Gel received a 7g sample full size is 60g
This is a glacial mineral gel facial mask that says it is composed of negatively charged molecules to bring out positively charged bacteria and impurities applied for 15-20 minutes then rinsed off. The ingredients list glacial clay which is what will draw out impurites, lavender and orange oil and green tea so it will probably smell really good.




Lash Card received a deluxe sample of two cards full size pack is 10 cards.
Not to sure about these packaging says that they make your mascara work harder improving length, preventing smudging and clumping to me they will just really help prevent any mascara transfer when applying to the bottom lashes. But will give a try and see how they go.




Orofludio Beauty elixar recieved 5ml full size is 100ml
This product I have actually received from BB before and I am a little dissapointed that BB have written on the card that Orfludio is back with this stunning strand elixar, I thought it was something new but in reality identical to the product I have received before. Having said that I can already tell you that this is one product worth giving a try. The smell is amazing and it leaves the hair soft and silky but still managable and I have in the past enjoyed using it. 



Indigo Multi V Serum received 15ml which is full size.
This is a face serum infused with vitamins A H and F to help skin be healthy beautiful and strong is says it is good for reactive skin and those that suffer from rosacea. It comes out gel like goes on easily, there is no overwhelming smell and dries quite quickly. I only have used it once so will have to see what results a like after a few more tries. 



Eylure Naturalites Natural Volume Lashes 020 received on pair. 
This is the first time I've received a pair of false lashes in a beauty box that I actually thought I could wear they are very natural looking not too bold but just enough to give my eyes a little more definition I am really excited to give these a go despite the fact I've never worn false lashes before!!! 



Rimmel London BB cream recieved a 8ml sample in the shade medium full size is 30ml.
Hmmm don't want to be negative but this is a sample I cannot find a positive for!! I actually bought a full size tube of this product on special just after it had been released earlier in the year and was so dissapointed its not a BB cream and it isn't even a good tinted moisturiser. Application was really hard to get right with finger and even brushes it would streak in places and you have to work really quickly, coverage was terrible and I found that even when I set with powder it went patchy throughout the day. Dissapoined to see it included and dissapointed its my only colour product in the box.



Avene Micellar Lotion 3 in 1 received  ml full size is 200ml 
This a makeup remover that doesn't need rinsing and was surprised by how very simillar to the Bioderma one I have received in previous bellaboxes. They do remove all makeup including mascara and while not rinsing your face afterwards is a little odd at first they don't leave you skin feeling wet, sticky or tight. The only thing I find about these products is that I do seem to go through them quite quick and they are on the more expensive side!!!



Overall I think I will enjoy most of the products that have come in this box I have a few new items to try and hopefully will get some good results am hoping though that next months box has a few more makeup items in it.

Thanks for reading
Ever.
