BELLABOX DEC


~ BELLABOX ~

December 2014 Box!

Sign up here to get $5 off your first box!


A few months ago I had a voucher to spend on http://www.isubscribe.com.au
and whilst browsing around I stumbled across BellaBox subscriptions so I thought
why not? I'm not a big fan of accumulating countless magazines, I'd rather a surprise
box each month with actual products I can use and enjoy, rather than just reading about them!

So I purchased a 3 month subscription and then waited and waited....and waited!
More than 3 months passed by. (They say to wait up to 8 weeks for your first delivery.)
So I was more than patient in my opinion, and sick of waiting, I figured something wasn't quite
right and I would probably be waiting forever. So I contacted BellaBox to chase it up.

Not 100% sure what went wrong. But it seems to me there must have been a glitch in the
system somewhere along the lines and they either never received my order from iSubscribe
or it just got missed.

Anyhow, a few days later it was all sorted and my first box was finally on the way!
YAY!

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has done a bit of sticky beeking around the social network
and seen a lot of mixed reviews and feelings about this months box as there was a bit of
variety of products which were sent out. I was very fortunate to receive a Kora Organics
product. Other boxes I have seen received the Kora Organics Hydrating Mask. If I'd have had
the luxury to have chosen, I would have picked that as I already have this Kora Organics
Day & Night Cream. However, it is a lovely product, so am also very happy to have a
back up as it is quite pricey.  Some others received a Fuse Gelnamel Starter Kit which I am
glad to have missed as I already have it and have no need for a second one.

It has me wondering what the following 2 boxes will hold as there have been a lot of
people receive boxes containing just sample satchets which is quite disheartening and I feel
bad for those people as I feel that that is quite unfair for the price you pay. 

RRP: $ (50ml)

SWATCHES!
I really love these shades and will get a lot of use out of this sampler quad.
I would be interested in purchasing the full sized palette based on these shades so far as they
as quite pigmented and the shimmery ones are so so pretty and I love that it's mixed with some
basic wearable everyday mattes as well.

MAYBELLINE


~ Maybelline New York ~



SuperStay Better Skin
Flawless Finish Foundation

#005 Light Beige




I have been trialling this in the shade #005 Light Beige
 which is a perfect match for my skin's colour which is olive but
 very white with no tan at all.
Initially when I first pumped a bit of the product out
 onto my hand I thought it appeared to be too light, 
My hands must be a darker shade to my face though
 because it just blended right into the exact shade of my

 cheek and the rest of my face.
Yay! Will need to remember that in future!
The bottle is quite a solid, weighty and made from glass which I like,
But will need to be careful not to break! 

The lid and pump are plastic though so not all super fragile or anything.
 I like that I can see the product and how
much I've used because it is a clear glass.
I like that this product is unique in the way 
that it claims to give you better looking skin in three weeks 
because of it's vitamin enriched formula.
Pretty clever and I think my skin is agreeing.
I noticed my skin instantly appearing more even in colour
 and smoother once applied and my husband even commented 
the following morning after I'd used for the first time the day 
before that he thought my skin looked better like
 I was wearing some kind of foundation, even though 

I'd thoroughly removed it all the night before!
Not much of a scent to the product at all, 
Which doesn't really bother me either way.
Overall, I have honestly been loving this and think 
it is one of the better ones I have ever used.
It felt light on my skin and didn't dry out or look greasy 

by the end of the day.
Just looked like my own skin, only hiding all of my little flaws!! ;)
Will continue to use and would purchase in the future,
 it's a great price and a brand
 I love and have always used anyway, 

so I can see myself keeping one of
these on hand in my collection for continued future use.
Shop This Product!

Love Candy!
