April Bellabox and March Review.

Hey Readers,

Hope this post finds you well. I am sorry that I have not posted much on my blog or Instagram this month, but the later half of the month has turned out to be incredibly busy. I have not only been busy with work, away for Easter holidays but I have also moved house spending most a lot of my free time packing!!! Its been crazy but in amongst it all my April Bellabox has arrived and so I am sitting down in between unpacking boxes to write this post and I will start with quickly reviewing March BB.

Model Co Party Proof Cream Matte Lipstick
I really enjoyed this on this month the colour was just enough to pep up any natural day time/work look, it lasts a long time and it wasn't too drying on the lips.

Metta Skin care Body Oil 
Wasn't to sure about this at first but a couple of drops rubbed into my legs post shaving has seemed to keep the dryness away, its light and not too greasy. I think I will probably use this a bit more as we get into winter.

Australian Bush Flower Hand Cream
Did not pull this on out this month it has literally been at the bottom of my handbag most of the month most likely when it gets colder this will get a turn.

WOW Romy Mandarin and Lime Bath Gel 
Did enjoy this this month and I was right it never made it into my travel bag!!! It does foam well and clean well so I am happy!!

Pantene Aqua Light
Loved the travel size of these and I took them away camping with me this month which really put this to the test!!! Getting rid of all the dirt, grim, salt and sand that comes with camping at the beach!! Loved that my hair felt clean and light will pick this up next time!!

OK onto April's Box this month BB has themed the box Autumn Winter Style. So as you can imagine the products we have received are definitely inspired by the cooler weather coming our way!!! 




Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream received an 8.5g deluxe sample full size is 17g 
I have received this before in a beauty box (not sure which one) from memory it was really good so I am happy to try again.





Gatineu Refreshing Melting scrub received a 15ml deluxe sample full size is 75ml
As you have probably read in my posts a million times before I really enjoy trying a new face scrub. This one is suitable for all skin types and says it will help even out skin tone and refine texture. I am interested to try!!




Dirty Works You Soft Touch Hand Cream received a full size 100ml.
My first thoughts when I saw this was oh great another hand cream I don't really need another particularly when I didn't even use last months!! But after realising that this is a part of the brand I'd just seen in coles recently with cute packaging, I was interested to try and I guess with the cooler weather around the corner hand cream is a must have.




Colour Therapy Eyeshadow Duo in the shade Berrylicious full size 4.2g 
This is probably the most exciting product in the box for me and these berry toned shadows are quite on trend. Swatching they seem quite soft and pigmented I cannot wait to use them on their own or pair them with other shades.




Indio Eye Rise 5ml sample full size is 15ml.
This is an anti aging eye cream that not only includes sunscreen but has a light tint for concealing properties. Swatching it feels quite light and soft to touch. Said to draw moisture plumping out fine lines around the eyes. Usually I am not into eye creams or anti aging products but this has caught my attention and I am interested to see how it goes.




Revlon Nearly Naked four shade sample card 
This is the bonus product for the box this month and while this is a reasonable foundation I think I have received this once if not twice before not that exciting any more!!

Overall a reasonable box for the month of April I am interested to try most of these products and cannot wait to share my thoughts next month until then Happy reading and Happy shopping.

Ever.
