Hey Readers,
I hope this post finds you well!! I am sorry that there was no post last week but due to illness in the family I was away from home and my laptop. To make up for it I have not only today post but also a Sunday special post for tomorrow!! I hope you enjoy them both!!
OK so new year and a my first Bellabox for 2015 has arrived some interesting goodies have come my way but before I get into those I will review the last box from 2014.
December Review
Kora Organics By Miranda Kerr Purifying Day and Night Cream
I will be honest I have not been persistent enough with this one to really notice a difference. I haven't used it everyday for the last month like I anticipated so I am unsure whether I will ever have Miranda's glowing skin, Despite that though I have used it enough to know that its not a bad product. I have enjoyed how easily it is absorbed and how light it is on the skin. Will try harder to use it more often.
It's So Big Mascara
As you know I love mascara and this is a fairly good one. It does give great volume and I also find that I get good length as well. The only thing I don't love is that if you try a build the layers too quickly it does build excess product onto you lashes and one quite hot day here in QLD I did find it flaked a little. Overall though the wand allows for easy application and is slim enough to catch the bottom lashes as well.
Enbacci Pore Minimiser
Not sure what I feel about this cream. Initially I was impressed at how light it was on the skin and that it absorbed well but on the whole the tea tree smell was a little over powering and I don't really feel my pores where reduced.
Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash
Was surprised by this one. Its a really face wash its gentle, foams well, cleanses and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight. As an added bonus my face seems to have stayed quite clear. Very happy may buy the full size.
Kerestase Paris Nutrive Nectar Thermique
As I said in my original post I do not heat style my hair and thus this one didn't get used eventually I will most likely gift it to some one that can use it!!
So onto January's box now I have to say that BB did some big spoilers this month so I kinda knew some of the products that were coming having said that I am surprised that most of the products in those spoilers were included as I assumed with variation between boxes I would only get one or two. None the less they have included some great products.
Laqa and Co Lip Lube in the shade Beezlebub
This cute metallic pink tube is the home to a light but almost berry toned pink glossy lipstick. Combining peppermint and shea butter this is an easy to apply pop of colour. While I am still unsure if a pink lip really suits me its a great inclusion and I am happy to give this a try.
Exclusive Bellabox Makeup Pouch
This little plastic zip topped pouch is another cute inclusion to the box. Blue with white polka dots just like the boxes we've come to know and love and able to fit those few important essentials inside. Its clear so you can see whats inside and small enough to add to any handbag!!! Its a nice change from the usual box and I think this will be a great addition to my bag this month!!
SkinnyMint 28 Day Ultimate Teatox
SkinnyMint is a 6 day (9 tea bags) sample pouch of this 2 steap teatox program. Said to help cleanse and energise it contains ingredients that are powerful antioxidants, nurtients and metabolism boosters. This looks like an interesting product but I am not a tea drinker though so not sure what I will do with this on maybe I will have to try them anyway!!
Wen by Chaz Dean Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner
This cleansing conditioner is designed to hydrate and replenish hair. Moisturise, strengthen and add sheen. I have actually received this from BB before so I can already say its a decent product it really does leave your hair silky smooth so I am happy to use again.
Aveda Botanical Kinetics Purifying Gel Cleanser
A plant derived gel cleanser that says it will cleanse away impurities and help keep skin balanced. Not excited about this, products from Aveda samples really have been over done by beauty boxes of late and I am really over it, products are ok but I am starting to think they are just a filler product!!
Dermal Therapy Heel Balm Platinum
This is the bonus product for BB this month and I have to say more interested to try this than I am to see the aveda sample!! This cream says it will help hydrate dry cracked heels and feet with results in just one day. Interested to try.
So that ends BB for January a great start for BB this year, interested to try most items and will give my review next month. Until then happy reading and happy shopping.
Everlynne.
