Bellabox January
Scandalous Rock Chick Spray
Was interested to give this a try this month. I was really looking for something to change up my hair style and as a general rule I don't use styling products at all I just put my hair up in a pony tail and go!!!! Now Iv'e only used it a couple of times but I have to say its a lot of work!!! You apply to towel dried hair which is fairly simple and the spray does disperse evenly and the scent is nice. But then you have to blow dry your hair scrunching upwards to create the wave effect of your liking and if you wish for this to hold all day you require hair spray on top. It does what it says don't get me wrong I just don't have that much time on my hands to style my hair in the morning. I would probably be suited more to something that applies to dry hair and that I don't need an extra product on top for.
Avene Samples
OK despite being excited that I'd finally received two different samples from this range neither of them got used!! It was a time thing more than anything so maybe when I haven't received any Avene in a while I will pull them out and give them a try!!!
INM Natural Manicure Pedicure File
This was a great addition to my handbag this month I always have to take out my small sapphire file out every time I fly and it takes me forever to remember to put it back ie. I flew to Sydney before Christmas and I still hadn't put it back!!! So this was not only a welcome addition to my handbag but its airplane friendly as well!!! As a nail file it does the job well and always handy!!!
Vaseline Aloe Lotion
Have used this a bit this month despite the heat we've been experiencing it seems my legs are still dry and being so light it doesn't feel heavy or sticky on your skin, it also absorbs really easily great post shaving would definitely by a full size of this one.
Model Co Fat Lash Mascara
Was definitely the most welcomed item in the box this month I always enjoy a makeup inclusion and I love being sent a brand that I haven't used any products from before. I have to say if I hear or see model co I usually think self tanning an area of product I don't really use so I have never gone looking for what else they do. So was interested to see how their makeup range faired this is a reasonable mascara and with a price point of $20 I was looking for wow factor!!! The wand with the spikes at the end is a little tricky to get used to at first but overall you get length and volume in one and the formula is quite light so your lashes don't feel heavy or crunchy once its sets but I did find if your not careful with your application this one can clump your lashes slightly. Overall though a good mascara that gives length and volume in one!!! I will also include this in my next mascara maddness as I now have a few mascaras I want to tell you about!!!
OK so onto February's box and I have to say I have been impressed by Bellabox this month not only does their theme and items match even the bonus one!!! They've sent some really nice products and I am excited to try every one!!! The theme for BB this month is Red carpet ready and so they have included items to make your skin, hair and nails look flawless and ready for any coloured carpet walk!!! It is heavy on the skin care but they have included products that I am really interested to try from a brand that I haven't used a lot of products from before and evened the box out by including something nice for your hair and nails the only thing that has puzzled me is that if you look at the description card that came with my box I should have received two face lotions and a face scrub but instead I have received one lotion and two scrubs!! So either BB have read my posts on how much I like face scrubs or the wrong card got put in my box or the wrong sample!! Not sure either way I am happy with what I received!!!
Om She aromatherapy Buff Away Polish received a 30ml deluxe sample full size 125ml.
This was the product that on my card says its meant to be a face lotion as I said I am happy and I really enjoy trying out new face scrubs this one is oatmeal based and has natural fruit AHA's to reveal a more youthful complexion it smells lovely so cannot wait to try!!!
Om she Aromatherapy Red-Rice Mattifying Lotion SPF 15 recieved a 30ml deluxe sample full size is 60ml
This is the product for me this month!! And I feel BB have finally noticed I have combination skin despite all the products they send me that a tailored to dry!! I also have been having issues with the shiny T zone at the moment the weather has gotten so hot that even using my rimmel stay matte isn't helping reduce the shine, I have recently turned to adding a primer to my routine to help increase the longevity of my makeup as well!!! So this is a welcomed product that I am excited to try!! Based on a formulation that includes red rice. Which is meant to help balance the skin and mattify it also has an SPF of 15 so hopefully will be good under makeup as well!!! Also loving that this is produced by an Aussie company.
Palmer Cocoa Butter Gentle Exfoliating Facial Scrub recieved 15g full size is 150ml
Despite my excitement with this box this is probably the least exciting inclusion simply because I have received this before in my November from LHI box. Having used it before though I can say that it does have a nice scent and all round is a good scrub!!!
Aveda Smooth Infusion Style Prep Smoother received a 40ml deluxe sample and full size is 100ml
This is a styling liquid that said to help prepare and protect the hair as well as help improve styling speed. I don't heat style my hair as a general rule but I am interested to see if it helps with the fly aways and that I have been getting post washing my hair!!!
Pret a Polish Luxury Laquer recieved a full size 11ml in the shade Mademoiselle
This is non toxic nail polish that says its high voltage and colour saturating!! mademoiselle is a neutral pink that is really wearable and I am really excited to try!!!!
Swisspers Naturals Aloe Daily Moituriser with SPF15 recieved a 5ml sachet sample full size is 100ml
This is the bonus product for this months box and one again I am excited to try. I have not used any of the Swisspers naturals skin care and I am very interested to see how it goes. The lotion includes Aloe, Vitamin A and E, is paraben and sulphate free. It also has SPF15 which is always a bonus. I will decant this one out of its sachet and give it a try!!!
Loving all these products and cannot wait to dive in!! Really excited for this month and cannot wait to try some new products!!! :) Hope you too have received a good BB this month and until next month Happy Reading and Happy Shopping!!!
Ever.
