Bellabox August 2012 Review


I always get a tiny thrill when I see the courier man has left that little blue box at my front door! Bellabox is by far my most favourite of all the beauty boxes, every month is always great. This month was no exception so lets dive in and see what we have! This months theme was all about keeping it green with natural products free from any nasty chemicals you find in everything nowadays. 

1) Aurora Spa Rituals Shampoo and Conditioner RRP $40 each for 500ml Sample size: 50ml each.
This shampoo & especially the conditioner smell absolutely divine!!! I was immediately reminded of a little luxury tree-house my husband & I often stay at in Montville, it smells exactly like it. I found the shampoo lovely with minimal lather but it does a great job anyway and the conditioner made my hair super soft and shiny. I rate these a 5/5- just divine! 

2) Emerginc Skincare Kombucha Cleanser & Phytocell Cream RRP $44 for 120mls (cleanser) & $105 for 50ml (cream) Sample size: 3mls each.
I have tried Emerginc skincare before and its not too bad. It is very potent stuff and feels very concentrated and lovely. I wouldn't use it everyday as it is quite expensive but as a treat to the skin it is wonderful. I rate these a 4/5. 

3) Aveeno Daily Moisterising Lotion RRP $12.99 for 354ml Sample size: 29ml.
I love the little bottle its so cute. Aveeno is a great cheaper brand for everyday skincare and this moisturizer is great. Super quick absorbing and fragrance free. I use a lot of moisturizer on my hands for my job so this will work great as a hand cream for me. I rate this a 5/5 (you just cant go past the cheap price!) 

4) Lush Ro's Argan Body Conditioner RRP $29.95 for 225g Sample size: 45g.
My heart always skips a beat when I see a Lush product! I am obsessed with Lush (my husband has banned me from buying anything from there at the moment haha!) so I was very happy to get my fix this month! This all over body conditioner smells like a big bunch of flowers and is super creamy and super yum like everything Lush make! I rate this a 5/5 (duh).

5) Luk Beautifeed Lip Nourish RRP $24.95 for 3g Sample size: Full-size.
This product isn't even available to buy yet. Its made of 100% natural and edible products and has a nice lemon & mint flavour for people like me who end up eating their lipsticks half the time! It looks very dark but once you put it on its a very natural shade and is very soothing and lovely to wear. I rate this product a 4/5. 

6) Phytocare Daily C Vitamin C Powders RRP $17.80 for 30 sachets Sample size: 2 sachets.
I thought this was a cute little sample to include, especially on the tail end of winter and during the flu season here in Australia! Little individual sachets of vitamin C (1000mg) to mix up with your breakfast each morning and they are free from all the nasty sugars & artificial colours & flavours. 

Overall I think Bellabox have done another wonderful job this month and I got to try some new brands I have never heard of before which is always fun. Bellabox is most definitely value for money and they always have a great variety of products to sample. If you don't already subscribe to Bellabox I highly recommend you do! They are, in my honest opinion, the top beauty sample box service in the country.
