BEAUTY SOS!
In case of emergency, put mascara on yourself before helping others.
I received a SUPER-SIZED bellabox this month, I could tell before I even opened the box it was going to be great, it was so darn heavy!
I loved just about everything this month, 7 fantastic products for the low price of $15 + free shipping. If you are wondering which beauty box you should subscribe too, my recommendation would be this one. Great value for money, they are the cheapest, offer fantastic customer service, free-shipping with orders from their shop with lots of extra samples thrown in, you can find out more about them here

Ok now on to the exciting bit what I received this month.
griffin + row ~ Hydrate ~ LUXE ~ full-size 100ml RRP$27.50 ~ this is a hydrating refreshing spray that you can use as toner, to set your makeup or just refresh and hydrate your skin during the day. Has a lovely botanical scent and I am really excited to receive this product as I love facial sprays.
BLOOM Lip Stain ~ Peach ~ COLOUR ~ full-size RRP$18.00. This is a buildable lip stain that you can wear on its own for long lasting colour or layer with lipstick or lip gloss.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo ~ CULT ~ sample size 3ml ~ RRP$29.95, 40ml. I am a little confused as to why I would have received this and the next sample for oily clogged skin as I have dry mature skin and have NEVER suffered oily skin in my life.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Foaming Gel ~ CULT ~ sample size 15ml ~ RRP$19.95, 200ml. Again I have very dry skin and this is specifically for oily skin, it even says "Goodbye Oil!" on the card, I NEED every drop I can get. I don't think they have matched these products very well to my profile at all. UPDATE: I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS GEL TO ANYONE WITH VERY DRY SKIN, I JUST USED THIS TO WASH MY FACE AND I HAVE THE WORST CASE OF SKIN BURN, I HAVE BLISTERS APPEARING, STINGS SOMETHING AWFUL AND MY FACE HAS GONE ALL PUFFY. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT FOR DRY MATURE SKIN. My poor husband is freaking and wants to take me up the hospital, YES it's that bad!
MANICARE DUO Mascara brushes ~ ON TREND TOOL ~ full-size RRP$4.99 pack of 10. Two different types of disposable mascara brushes, 5 for volume and 5 for curl.
SUKIN Facial Moisturiser ~ Essential ~ full-size 125ml RRP$9.95. Face moisturiser for all skin types, full of botanical goodies to quickly hydrate your skin. I have often seen SUKIN in Priceline and never picked any up, I am really happy to be able to try this brand.
NANOBLUR ~ sample 3ml ~ BONUS ~ RRP$29.99 30ml. I have seen this product in Priceline too but haven't read very good reviews. It is suppose to make you look 10 years younger in seconds. Refracts the light and I guess make everything look fuzzy! Yep huh huh, I'll let you know when I try it.

OK that's it from BB this month, a really good box, not everything matched my profile and I will ask why they sent me products for oily skin, but overall a really good selection of products.
What did you get this month were you as happy as I was? Let me know.
Oh, I have an epic case of box envy right now! I love any hydrating mists, and I so wanted to get the lip product! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it! Might pick it up from BB store if its good :P
ReplyDeleteHya Amy, I haven't tried the lip stain yet but I will let you know, I was really happy with the colour thought it looks more pink than peach.

I tried the lip stain on and it came up pink and then red the more I applied. I will swatch it in the daylight tomorrow. I am interested to see if the Nanoblur does what it claims, will let you know.

oh my gosh I hope your face is ok! that's why I'm so hesitant when it comes to face products, looks like a decent box! x
ReplyDeleteGreat box this month huh - I'm pretty impressed with mine - will put up my review soon I got a few different things to you. How is your skin after the cleansing gel? That sounded terrible - I'm very hesitant to use it now
ReplyDeleteHya Kayte, my face is better thanks, try testing it under your arm first to see if there is a reaction. I was very surprised it was that bad for me.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to reading your review.

Thanks Tania, my face is much better now, I have LUPUS and my skin is very sensitive but I have never had a reaction to a face product like that before.

Hya Tali, I was very happy with month's box, the gel just wasn't suitable for my skin and I wanted to warn others to be careful. I certainly will be swatching the lipstain and giving my thoughts on the Nanoblur. I would have loved the Emerald Eye liner you received xx
ReplyDeleteAwesome value! I hope your face is feeling better though... sucks that they gave you those samples - I've seen some that got sensitive skin ones . Let us know how to get on with the Nanoblur.
ReplyDeleteHave a random question for you too... was recently sent sample of Suigo Absolute Volume treatment alont with your blog review!! Product says "heat"... how exactly did you do that? My ensuit didn't come equipt with a salon dryer/heater ;P
What you can do is wrap your hair in glad wrap, put a dry towel in yourclothes dryer and heat it up, wrap around your head. When the towel cools down, heat it up again and repeat until you have heated your hair for about 30 minutes.

ReplyDeleteBest box I've seen yet!! I'm still waiting for mine! I love facial sprays too :) they make my face feel refreshed. I hope the lipstain goes well! I can't seem to use them due to my dry lips.
ReplyDeleteHya Lily, I find lip stains quite drying on my lips too. This one dried them out as well and for something that is suppose to be peach it built up to a very red colour..

This has to be the most amaing box I've seen!
ReplyDeleteI'm still yet to sign up for a beauty box but here in the UK, they are a bit of a hit and mis. JEALOUS!

Thanks Cj xx
ReplyDeleteI was planning to resubscribe to Bellabox after I cancelled my subscription with HFB. This month looks so worthy of value!!
ReplyDeleteBB certainly outdid themselves this month, fantastic box, $15 is much cheaper than what HFB offer for $40
