Bellabox May 2014 Review

Hey Ladies,

Its been a while... but I'm back and better than ever. I have 3 boxes to review but to begin with I will be showing you my May Bellabox.

So I received Bellabox earlier this week and I have had a chance to use a few items already and have some positives and negatives. This months box was sponsored by Jetstar.



So.. what did I get???

1. Appelles Apothecary Body Bar - Eucalyptus,  Niaouli, Rosemary and Lemon Myrtle - RRP $5.95 Full Size 100g

The smell is a winner for sure. Even though I am not a fan of Eucalyptus this soap is so lemony that I had to try it. As far as a bar of soap goes it is nice but I was looking forward to being able to smell it on my skin all day. Unfortunately this was not the case. Even if it only smells great in the shower I am still loving the inclusion and it is something we all need :-)


2. Chapstick Lip Conditioner RRP $3.99 Full Size 4.2g

I am not loving the inclusion of the chapstick. I have so many Chapstick's that don't get used and get given to family or friends.  I am not impressed because I have seen what other people received in the Chapstick's place which was a Face of Australia Make up item which I would have much prefered ( ACTUAL MAKEUP) .
In regards to the chapstick it is SPF 15, available almost anywhere and smells like vanilla.


3. Timeless Truth Face Mask - Calming and Revitalization RRP $8.00 Full Size 30ml

I haven't had the opportunity to try a cloth mask before and was excited to see I have received not one but 2 this week.  This particular mask states that it Revitalizes the skins natural radiance and helps to regenerate tissue cells. It also claims to relax facial tension so I am super excited to try it. I'm not sure when I will have 20 minutes to try and relax but I should treat myself. I think this is a great travel must have so I may take one to Cambodia with me to relax after the flight.


4. Wen by Chaz Dean Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner RRP $34.99 for 480ml Sample Size 60ml

I have heard so many people raving about this product and when my mum seen it I nearly lost it. From what it says on the back you don't use shampoo but instead you repeat the process of application twice. I am very glad to see that even though it is a foil packet it is a decent size so I should get at least 2 uses out of it. I haven't opened it yet to smell it but I love mint in hair products :-)


5. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel in Clear RRP $39.00 for 7.93g Sample Size 2.5ml

The cult product that most people were hoping for is a bit of a let down to be honest. It feels like I have hair sprayed my eyebrows.  So many youtubers love it and I could understand how it would help if you have crazy eyebrows but I don't.  It is an expensive item that I wont purchase because this 2.5ml will probably last me forever.



6. BONUS Invisible Zinc Tinted Daywear SPF30+ - Light RRP $32.00 for 50g Sample Size 5g

Tiny foil packets normally don't get used and this one is no exception. So many friends have warned me about this product and how it made them break out in a horrible rash. So me and my sensitive skin will not be trying it. It is nice to see they sent me light as opposed to medium/dark this time.


So over all it is a better box than it has been... I would definitely have liked a colour make up product as it promises but it not that bad.

Over all value is $37.80 which is more than double the value but even taking this into consideration I'm still not sure how I feel about this box. I think its just not very usable and by that I mean that I wont use these items every day and I would love something where I just had to have more but it's just not there this month.



What did you think? Do you think Bellabox is improving?  What variation did you get?

I cant wait to hear from you all.

Lots of Love
