JUNE 2015

LIMITED EDITION!

http://www.bellabox.com.au

Ah don't you just love subscription boxes? Fun little boxes filled with hours of play for us beauty lovers!

This month Bellabox are offering new members a very special limited edition box filled with
products from Aveda, Burt's Bees, Jean Patou, Original Source and Universal Beauty Cosmetics
for only $17.95 and includes 3 full size products! One of the full size products, the Original Source
was so large they had to ship it in a larger box! (The brown one. See pic below!) Normally Bellabox
ships their monthly goodies in the well known classic blue box. (Also pictured below.)

Having my own beauty blog, of course I must be obsessed with beauty and try a lot of new products
all the time. However I would be stone broke if it weren't for subscription boxes who make it so 
convenient to be able to try a variety of newbies each month in the comfort of my own home in both
sample and full size for such an affordable price. I am a firm believer in the 'try before you buy' philosophy!


I couldn't wait to tear open the tissue paper of this month's box and see what was inside!
Bellabox always seem to have useful as well as fun products inside which is great and the smaller
size products make perfect travelling companions because I can still pack everything without
weighing down my bag and making it heavy or bulky! Yay!


As you can see below this month's special limited edition box for new members only comes with
a total of 5 products! I am particularly excited to try the Original Source Skin Quench All In One
Moisturising Shower Gel in Blackcurrent & Moringa Oil. It smells so yum! :)

Let's get into the rest of the products! Squweeee!!


Aveda Damage Remedy Intensive Restructuring Treatment (SAMPLE)
I have used this and a few other Aveda products in sample form in the past and have always been
happy with them. This one is going to be great for my hair at the moment as it has had a bit of
damage done to it recently with my massive dose of blonde highlights! I am looking forward to
some hair care repair! (10ml)

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin E & Peppermint (FULL SIZE)
Straight away you can smell the peppermint in this product. You can also feel the minty sensation
on your lips once you have applied it and BOY can you taste it! haha What? I had to try it! ;)
It isn't unpleasant though and I actually think it could work well to help keep my breathe fresh as well! Win, win because it also moisturises and soothes your lips which has been great for my wind
chapped lips lately! (4.25g)

Jean Patou '1000' Eau De Parfum (SAMPLE)
Mmmm peeeeeerfumee! A luxury I rarely get to treat myself to since becoming a mummy.
I used to purchase a new fragrance about once a month back when my life was simple and I would
drown myself before heading out the door. These days I usually only get to try the odd sample here
and there which actually works great because I don't often do anything fancy enough to wear it!
This one's scent is lovely and mature and to me smells a little musky. It contains Chinese Osmanthus,
Rose & Jasmine from Grasse. (1.5ml)

Original Source Skin Quench All In One Moisturising Shower Gel in Blackcurrent & Moringa Oil (FULL SIZE)
Shower gels seem to be the main product I run out of the most. If the kids run out of bubble bath then
I just squirt whatever I have in the shower that I am using at that time to get them through and when
hubby runs out of his man soap he uses whatever I have. Usually cringing at the fancy scent! (Men!
Seriously why do you not love candy & cupcake scented things?) ;) 
This shower gel contains solf yellow oil beads and is 100% naturally fragranced. I can't wait for this
delicious blackcurrent scent to overtake my bathroom tonight! (250ml)

Universal Beauty Cosmetics Tint Stick in Siren (FULL SIZE)
I am mostly drawn to pink lip shades, however I have quite a few classic reds in my collection
which I have to admit probably suit my skintone and overall look more and I love how timeless
red lippy is. Now matter what red lips have and always will be in style. 
This lip product is actually a tint! You would never guess it though as from my swatch below the
shade is so pigmented and vibrant! This is the first time I have heard of this brand before and I am
so impressed! The formula does not smudge off or smear. It doesn't even fade throughout the day!!
The applicator is like a soft texta and the thin shape makes it so easy to apply neatly. I'm a fan! (1.4g)

 SWATCHED!

ON THE LIPS!

February 2015!


Featuring:
#harpersbazaar #essieaustralia #zkinorganicsau #transformulas #burtsbeesau #soakskin #aveda

This months Bellabox was quite a treat in general and for myself especially!!
 As someone who used to buy way too many and hold on to a rediculous amount of beauty mags,
I no longer purchase them, but still secretly LOVE to read them and drool all over the pages! ;)

I did have the opportunity to choose between Cosmo, Elle or Harpers but decided I wanted it to be
a complete surprise as I knew I'd be happy with any one of them. So when my parcel arrived
 with Harpers Bazaar written all over the satchel I couldn't wait to rip it open and delve inside!

I have always admired and had a mega girl crush on Miranda Kerr. Just look at her!
She is perfect. I am so happy with this issue and have already spent hours reading it!


Onto the contents of the box!
I still miss the nice sturdy blue spotted box which Bellabox used to house their samples in
as it is perfect to store beauty samples and other odds and ends in. This yellow box is still cute,
however, I don't see myself keeping and re-using it. Bummer!


Not a shade I would reach out to purchase. However greys are very much the trend right now
so I will give this a go.... with glitter!

Not a huge fan of the scent, however the formula is gorgeous and I'm already addicted to it!

Soak Superfood Skincare Skin Booster Body Lotion
This brand is completely new to me so I am looking forward to learning more about them!

These tiny little sample tubes are adorable and this smells really natural and fresh.
Can't wait to lather this all over my face! :)

As you will see in my February Empties post coming very soon, I have been very much into
masks this month, so I won't need to stock up now that I have this on to try! Yay!

Zk'in Certified Organic Line Smoothing Serum
Bellabox must think I'm old.... but that's ok, the truth is what it is. MEAN! haha!
No not really, I love anti-ageing skincare. I'll try anything to stop the clock. So these will be great!

I've heard lots about this brand and this product in-particular. I don't care too much about the
size of my lips, however I'll give anything a go for fun!

(Or satchet in this case!)
I have never had a face lift before, so this should be interesting. I wonder if I'll look any
different after using this?

April Empties!



Products!
Schick Hydro Silk Razor Refill Blade
-
As mentioned in last month's empties post
I'm going through my razor blades more regularly
and loving this particular brand as it leaves my skin
feeling moisturised and really smooth.

Maybelline NY Super Stay 24hr Foundation
-
This is my favourite foundation at the moment. So I'm a bit sad to
see it go, but I have so many others all competing for their turn on
my face. I would repurchase this again and I look forward to using it in the 
future as it is such a fantastic product!

Burts Bees Radiance Facial Cleanser
-
 I've really enjoyed using this.
See my dedicated blog post on this product here. :)

Johnsons Holiday Skin Daily Facial Moisturiser
-
 I recently found this amongst my stash of endless moisturisers and thought since it's a relatively small sized product, I'd probably be successful is using it up quickly. So I'm not sure how old it is or if it's even still available to buy.
It is a gradual tanning moisturiser that I quite liked.  I haven't noticed 
much of a difference in my skins shade becomming darker though.

Pantene Pro-V Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo
-
My hair is often dry, especially toward the ends, so this has been nice
at adding some of that moisture back in. Has a pleasant smell as well.

Colgate Total Toothpaste
 - 
Good flavour and very affordable. 


Samples!

Avon Baby Moisturiser
Curash Soothing Oatmeal Moisturiser
Baby Organics Baby Moisturiser

Burts Bees Facial Cleanser! ♡

-
I have been a fan of Burts Bees products for a long time and when I recently received this sample tube of their facial cleanser in the mail I couldn't wait to try it! 
-

This swatch of the cleanser shows it to be a clear light lemon colour consistency with small white exfoliating jojoba beads in it. These beads are very sparse which makes this super gentle on the skin. The cleanser also contains Royal jelly which helps skin appear younger. 
-
All ingredients are 99% natural which is great for your skin and the environment. Whenever I think of any Burts Bees product, I think of them smelling like honey. It must be because of the classic yellow packaging or the cute little bee mascot. Either way, this cleanser does not smell like honey. It has quite a pleasant, natural smelling scent that I quite enjoy as it makes me feel relaxed as I am cleansing my face. 
-
I know warm water is best at opening up your pores for a better cleanse, however,  in the mornings I just have to wash my face with freezing cold water or else I don't wake up. I feel like it gets the blood flowing and totally shocks me into being awake. At night though I like to do the opposite and cleanser with super warm water as it relaxes me after a long hard day.
