BellaBox September 2012


I love coming home to find a little blue parcel waiting at the door for me! Always makes me smile after a bad week at work! 

1) Savoir Faire Concealer Kit RRP $35 for a full size dual concealer kit Sample size: 4 concealers & 2 finishing powders about the size of a 5c piece.

What a cute little sample kit! 4 different shades to play with from concealing to contouring and 2 finishing powders to set the look. The concealers are deliciously creamy and a dream to apply with amazing coverage and the powders are light and not heavy. I will definitely be buying the full sized product and its great to know what shades suit me from this sampler before spending my money on the full sized product. I rate this product a 5/5. 

2) Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel RRP $24.95 for 200ml Sample size: 10ml.

I'm pretty set in my ways when it comes to a daily skincare product and am yet to find anything to impress me enough to replace my current regime but this one comes close! This is a really nice daily cleanser and left my skin feeling very clean & purified. And the price tempts me... for a cheaper skincare line it certainly doesn't feel cheap! I am very tempted to give this a proper long trial after my current regime has run out. I rate this product a 5/5. 

3) You, Me & Everybody Sumptuos Skin Mousse RRP $13.99 for 75ml Sample size: 75ml Full sized product.

I don't think I have ever used a skin mousse for the body before! This was fun to use and it absorbs really fast and is non greasy which I love and my skin did feel well moisturised after using this. I do however have to argue the 'fragrance free' promise. Maybe I just have a sensitive nose to smells but this definitely had a smell to me and its not very nice. Even after washing my hands I can still smell it. Pity. I rate this product a 3/5. 

4) Bioderma Sebium AKN Purifying Corrective Care RRP $24.95 for 30ml Sample size: 5ml.

Another nice Bioderma product to try. I don't know how other people feel but I really like getting more then 1 skincare product in a range to try out, especially when I am so impressed with one product. Usually the second product seals the deal for me to buy the full sized product! And guess what, this one certainly does that! My skin feels amazing after using this cream! No wonder it was the winner of an Australian Beauty Award. I rate this product a 5/5 and am off to buy this range now! Wow! 

5) Benefit Its Potent! Eye Cream RRP $32 for 14g Sample size: 3g.

We all know I am a big Benefit fan so I am always super happy to get their products to try! This eye cream comes in the sweetest little pot and feels very creamy and luxurious! I have a lot of problems with dark circles under my eyes so I am excited to use this product over the next few weeks and see how it goes. Thanks Bellabox for supplying a generous sized sample to do so! I will come back & rate this product after a proper testing!

6) USPA Beehold RRP $32 for 150ml Sample size: 30ml.

I really liked this product. I have unruly wavy hair which I normally straighten and am always on the lookout for products to help work with my natural curl then against it. I used some of this after washing then put my hair in plaits and slept in it overnight and this morning I have a lovely curl which is full of body and has worked wonders on my split ends. Will definitely be buying! I rate this product a 5/5. 

Overall I really enjoyed this months Bellabox. They also threw in a $15 voucher to use for The Iconic on a minimum spend of $69 and it doesn't expire til the end of December so I will definitely hang onto that one to use when I'm shopping for Xmas gifts! I was particularly impressed with the Bioderma skincare products and the Savoir Faire sample concealer kit. Another awesome month from Bellabox!
