Bellabox April and March Review

Hey Readers,
I hope this post finds you well. This week my Bellabox has finally arrived and while its a little bit later than normal I am happy with what I received and I cannot wait to dive in to try!! But before I get into Aprils box I will review March's box!!

March Bellabox Review

Colour Therapy Eye Pencil 
Was really happy to see this inclusion and I have to say for a pharmacy and cheaper priced product this product is really great quality. The pencil itself applied easily and colour pay off was reasonable and it did last all day. While it was great to use a colour that I do not usually I still don't think its my colour so will most likely pick this one up in a different shade!!

Nivea Sun Light Feel Face Veil 
Another product I was really excited to try this month and I have to say it didn't disappoint. Light on the skin, easy to apply and not sticky. I also have been liking having the 30 SPF particularly when I have been using a foundation that doesn't contain any SPF. 

Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Creamy Cleanser and Moisturising Day Cream. 
Both  great products that do a great job. To be honest I have used the cleanser more simply because I have multiple day creams on the go. Overall though the cleanser is soft, creamy, cleans well and smells great. The moisturiser is also light on the skin, absorbs well. 

Kerastas Resistance Bain Force Achitecte Shampoo
While I only got one try from this sachet I was impressed with how well it cleaned and how soft it left my hair. May have to investigate the full size.

Stabilo Neon Highlighter
Now I know I don't normally review the bonus products to the box but I just had to include a quick note about this one. Despite all the controversy about this inclusion it really has been my most used product of the box last month. I took it to work and it has really come in handy practically everyday and its small enough that it fits easily into my labcoat pocket!!! 

April Bellabox
April comes with the theme of Mindful Beauty and looking at the selection of products I received most are based on natural ingredients, predominately chemical free and are targeted at improving the skin or being good to the body in some way!!  



Nude by Nature Pressed Mineral Cover in the shade Medium received a 3g sample size full size is 10g 
I was quite surprised to see this in the box this month as this is the latest product from Nude by Nature and one that I have actually looked at buying. As you know I do prefer pressed products so when I saw that Nude by Nature where coming out with a pressed range I was eager to try. This however came out while I was on my no buy during Easter and even though Priceline had 40% off all cosmetics I still had to resist the urge. Now I am kinda happy I get to try before I buy. Its a medium to full coverage foundation is a light weight powder that says it gives a flawless semi matte finish that lasts up to 8 hours. It is also made with 100% naturally derived ingredients. Interested and excited to try!!



Swisse Bioactive Nature Oil received a full size 60ml bottle.
This is a naturally sourced face and body serum that says its easily absorbed into the skin and contains 100% naturally sourced ingredients to help improve the overall appearance of the skin. Able to be used on scars, ageing skin, dehydrated skin, uneven skin tone and sun damage. Interested to try this one love that it comes with a handy pump at the top cannot wait to see how it goes. 



 Joico Shampoo and Conditioner Color Endure received a 10ml sachet sample of both products full size is 300ml.
This shampoo and conditioner are both sulfate free and said to clean and nourish coloured hair whilst protecting vibrancy and longevity of colour. Usually I wouldn't be fussed about receiving a sample for coloured hair despite the fact that I don't colour my hair but I am disappointed about this one. The included product card says I could have received the K Pak version which is targeted for fine hair (which I have) helping repair, strengthen and protect so it would have been perfect for my hair type. Disappointed I did not receive the one for my hair type when it was available. Will give it a try any way.  



Dr Roebuck's Everyday After Wax received a 50ml full size 
This is a soothing moisturiser that helps repair skin after shaving and waxing whilst helping to prevent ingrown hairs. Interested to try this I do wax and sometimes suffer from in grown hairs so very happy to try and see how it goes. 



A'kin Revitalising Cellular Radiance Serum received a 5ml deluxe sample full size is 23ml.
This facial serum says it contains anti aging properties and ingredients that help to increase skins suppleness, elasticity leaving skin looking more radiant and youthful. Not usually a serum user but still interested to try and see how it works.



Original Source Shower Gel received a 7ml sample full size is 250ml
This is the bonus product for the month. I have used this shower gel before so I already know that it is good and a small sample of this will be handy for travel.



So that ends what was included in my April box. As I said before really excited to try what I have received and I will give you my thoughts when my May box arrives. Until next time Happy Reading and Happy Shopping.

Everlynne.
