June Bellabox and May Review

Hey Readers, 
I hope this post finds you well. My June Bella box has arrived and I have received some great products!! But before I get in it I will review the box that was May!! 

Applelless Rosemary Body Bar 
As I spoke about in my original post I am not generally a soap user so I found a use for this that was other than getting clean. Given the beautiful smell that permeates from this product I have added it to my clothes draws as a draw scent. It works beautifully and gives me the option to use it in the shower later on!!!

Australian Bush Flower Essence Travel Skin and Space Mist

This was the only product that I did not use this month. I have not traveled this month so have not had the need give it a try. 

Boots Laboratories Optiva Aqua Capture Serum 
I was really excited when I pulled this out of the box this month. It has been such a wonderful addition to me skin routine and I really do feel its added hydration to my skin. Just a small amount all over and it absorbs instantly so great even when your in a rush.

Wen by Chaz Dean Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner 

This was an amazing product this month. This multi-tasking conditioner left my hair feeling gorgeous and from the 40ml deluxe sample I got 3 tries out of it. Am really interested in trying other things from this line.

Anastasia Beverley Hills Brow Gel

This is a premium brand that definitely lives up to its name. This is such a quick and easy brow product, that quickly brushed through not only tames them in seconds but lasts all day!! I am continuing to enjoy!!! 


OK so onto what I received for June. Sadly I was not lucky enough to receive the Kora hydrating face mask or the grown alchemist hand cream. But I still have received some great products that I am interested to try and most I have not tried before.






Herbal Essences Naked Shine Shampoo and Conditioner received a 40ml sample of each full size is 300ml

This brand new shampoo and conditioner that is silicone, paraben and dye free leaving your hair feeling clean and soft without all the nasties and it includes white tea and mint. Like most herbal essences products it smells lovely and I am interested to see how well it cleans. 



Innoxa Super Smooth Lip Liner in the shade Dusky Rose 

This is a long lasting waterproof lip liner, with a smooth formula to prevent pulling and tugging. This is an automatic pencil and the shade is a deep nude pink that I think will complement most lipsticks I own. 




Olay Regenerist Revitalising Hydration Cream recieved 14g deluxe sample full size is 50g.

This is a daytime hydration cream that says it will renew and revitalise the surface of the skin for a more hydrated apperance. Containing an amino peptide that exfoliates and smooths. At first I wasn't too fussed on this product but given the price point it is nice to try a higher priced day cream before paying the high price. I have been mixing up what moisturisers I use on my face so am happy to give this a go.




Cedel Blow Dry Faster Heat Protector Spray recieved a 45ml deluxe sample full size is 165ml
This is not only a heat protection spray but also contains ingredients to help dry your hair faster whilst blow drying and heat styling. I will say now that I am most likely to give this one away I don't blow dry my hair as a general rule and don't own any heat styling appliances to be able to heat style either.




La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo recieved a 3ml sample full size is 40ml 
This is a hydration cream that also helps to remove excess oil and unclog any pores  said to help reduce imperfection build up in 30days. This is the only product in the box that I have used before I have received this from not only BB but LHI. From memory its an OK product would like to have received something different given a face moisturiser was already in the box. 



Nutrimetics Nutri Rich Instant Radiance Beauty Balm recieved a 2ml sample full size is 50ml.
This is the first of two bonus products this month and I am really excited to try this one I always love a good BB and while a 2ml sachet won't go that far I am interested to see how it looks and feels. 




Instyle Australia Magazine received the June issue
The second bonus product for BB this month!!! Love the inclusion of a magazine with these boxes it was nice to come home and sit with a coffee and have a flick through.




OK so a good box overall for June. Whilst I am wishing BB would stop putting up spoiler alerts or sneak peeks on their social media pages of what we could receive and subsequently don't. I am interested to try most of these products and I am happy that most of them are new to me and I guess that is the luck of the draw. I can only hope I get to try a few of them in the future. 

Until next month Happy reading and Happy shopping

Everlynne.
