Bellabox is a $15 monthly subscription service that delivers 5-7 beauty treats. It's awesome in my opinion! I love getting my little blue package each month!
This months Bellabox is 'sport your style'. Nothing in this box speaks sporty to me but hey it's still a lovely monthly surprise.
The card:
The big reveal:
1. Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion. I think this is for body... It doesn't say on card or bottle whether it's for face or body. I'm leaning towards face because all body creams I would imagine you can use daily where as a face cream is often day or night etc. Will have to look it up. All other Aveeno products I've tried have been quite gentle and have a great texture/ result-I'm optimistic this will be the same.
2. Sleek kajal eyeliner- (full size) firstly this is the shittiest quality. (Sorry not sorry) See patchy no pigment swatch. I left the swatch ten mins and it wiped off my hand completely- no setting power at all. This seems like the 'play makeup' you give to kids...Also as it wears down it's going to get chunky and thick- bit of a design flaw. You could use it as an smokey eye product with a powder on top to try and set it. Maybe.
3. Avene extremely gentle cleanser- this is a tissue off formula. Having combo skin I prefer to rinse off especially after a workout. Being for sensitive irritated skin this might be good for the pool bag as opposed to the gym bag. I love Avene Clearance gel creme exfoliating hydrator so again I trust this brands sample to be good.
4. OGX Moroccan oil shampoo & conditioner- I seem to get hair products in every bellabox- I noticed some subscribers getting peeved about this. Bellabox is how I discovered my current shampoo so I say don't knock it til you try it. This shampoo & conditioner smells AMAZING! I look forward to seeing how it goes.
5. Maybeline colour show nail lacquer- (full size) f/s products really amp up the value of a subscription box. It's always hard to get a colour you love in a random box- I don't mind this in the spirit of trying something new. I must say I was dubious about texture but it's not too bad and leaves a beautiful glossy finish. In the light it has lots of micro sparkles- see attempt to show you this in swatch.
Bonus: Palmers coccoa butter formula sachet- If you've ever used this you know it makes you smell delicious & feel hydrated but not sticky. Always nice to be reminded of a cult classic.
So that's Bellabox August 2014. All in all the eyeliner let it down- had it been good, the overall box would have felt much more exciting and better value.
Highlight: shampoo & conditioner
Lowlight: eyeliner
What did you think if this box?
