August Bellabox and July Review

Hey Readers, 
Another month and another BB has landed on my door step!! Don't have much else to say so lets get into it!!!

July Review.


Model Co shadow stick in the shade Portofio

For me this was the most exciting product in last months box and I couldn't wait to use it. While this shadow is quite easy to use goes on smooth and blends well and pairs with other shadows. I was disappointed that the longevity just isn't there the colour faded on me after a few hours glad I got to try before I buy on this one.

Nuxe Rose Petals Cleansing Milk 

Was interested to try a different product from Nuxe this month after receiving their much loved body oil a couple of times it was nice to try something new. I enjoyed this one its a very smooth and soft cleanser that blends into the skin and washes off well. From time to time the rose scent did get slightly overpowering but feeling how soft and smooth my skin is post use is worth it. 

Essenza Fuss Free Naturals Facial Treatment Mask

As you know I usually say I will try these and then don't well this one was all set to be tried yes you read that right I was going to use this mask!! It was all ready sitting on my bathroom bench when my sister came over she saw it asked me what they where like I said I wasn't sure as I hadn't had a chance to try she said she was looking for something like that to try and I said well you can give it a go if you like. She liked it found it very moistursing and liked that it didn't have an over powering scent. 

Palmolive Body Polish in Acai Berry 

Its not a bad shower gel it cleans well and I was surprised by good the exfoliating polish worked. My only gripe with this one is I don't believe it actually contains Acai berry. If you read the ingredients list on the back of the bottle (Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Accrylates Cpolymer, Coccamidopropyl betaine, Sodium Chloride, Fragrance, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Seed Powder, DMDM Hydantoin, Actinidia Chineses (Kiwi) seeds, Tetrasodium EDTA, Benzopnenone-4, Fragaria Vesca (Strawberry) Extract, Prunus Persica (Peach) Juice, Fructose, C1 17200, CI 42090)  Euterpe oleracea is the botanical name given to Acai berry and it doesn't appear on this ingredients list.  It's not a big deal really but I just don't appreciate the false advertising on behalf of palmolive.

Neutrogena Towelettes 

As you know love these for travel they are so handy in this small pack. Great for makeup removal also good just for a freshen up whenever required. 

Laura Mercier Foundation primer.

Really enjoyed this one goes on smooth doesn't have a greasy or slippery feel. Moisturises and sinks into the skin easily it definitely increases the longevity of foundation. 

August Bellabox 

Ok don't mean to start on a down note but this month there has been so many spoiler alerts when from Bellabox that most of the products in this box weren't a surprise while usually I can avoid the posts from BB and I usually don't open any emails there has been so many that its been hard to avoid what was going to be included this month. I am ok with what I have received but its so much better opening these boxes every month when its a complete surprise.


Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara received a full size 
This mascara is said to deliver up to 400 percent volume with just one swipe giving volume, thickness and definition to every lash. Liking this inclusion to the box this month I enjoyed the last Max factor mascara I tried and interested to see if this one is as good as it says.



Pilaten Collagen Lip Mask received one mask full size is a pack of 3
This is a collagen lip masks that says it will restore moisture and plump lips after 20-30mins application. Not too sure about this one it looks very odd in the packaging and in pics on instagram and facebook. Not sure if I will try.



Dermasukin Daily Hydrating Wash received full size 250ml
This is a aloe vera and calendula based wash that says it will lock in moisture and cleans leaving the skin clean and hydrated. It also is fragrance and soap free. Interested to try this one see how it works.



Nip and Fab Glycolic Fix Pads received a pack of 5 full size is 60 pads.
These are exfoliating facial pads that are soaked in glycolic acid to help retexture and resurface the skin whilst including blue daisy to help moisturise and leave the skin brighter. Am interested to try I definitely have rough patches on my face that I would like to be smoother interested to see how they work.



Chapstick Night Repair received a full size tube (comes in a two pack with a day lip balm).
This is a lip treatment to help your lips repair themselves overnight. Have seen this a lot but never have picked up to try so happy to give a go always happy to try a new lip treatment.



Dermal Therapy Heel Balm Platinum
Not the most interesting bonus product for me personally but as dryness around the heels is something I battle from time to time happy to receive a sample of something to help.



So that ends this months box as I said while the products weren't a surprise I am interested in trying most of them and as usual I will tell you my thoughts next month. Until them happy reading and happy shopping!!

Everlynne.
