Bellabox August 2013



The theme of this month's box is Get Active!

matillysthisnthat.blogspot.com.au
This month we are being introduced to all these products we can use as part of an active lifestyle.  I am fortunate to work outside and already have a pretty good routine going so, I am really interested to see what new products BB can introduce me too that I would want to add to my daily routine.

1.  Pevonia Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser - 5ml sample - made with jojoba beads and chamomile.

2.  ASAP Ultimate Hydration - 15ml sample - facial moisturising cream

3.  Ultra Ceuticals Ultra CC Cream Mineral Tint - 5ml sample - Light - This is interesting, contains B5 & B3, Hyaluronic acid and SPF30.

4.  Talavou Naturals Illuminisor Lustre - sample size - golden glow mineral powder illuminiser, no sparkles yay!  Great for highlighting or mixing with body lotion for an all over glow.

5.  L'Oreal Base Magique Primer - 5ml sample - this is a face primer which helps mattify the skin and control oil.

6.  Banana Boat Mineral Protect Sensitive SPF30+ - this is a really big tube but is only about a 1/4 full. Suppose to 120mls but I think I may have received a dud tube.  It is a very very thick cream that I had trouble squeezing out of the tube and it looks just like Zinc (duh main ingredient).

7.  Tom Organic Tampons ~ I don't use tampons but they make seriously good sterile bandages for your first aid kit, any kind of wound with heavy bleeding, from nose bleeds, mouth injuries and puncture wounds. You never know when they might come in handy.

Good selection of samples for $15 nothing I would jump out and purchase straight away or change in my daily routine but pretty good value.  I am really interested in the CC cream and the Hydration moisturiser, my skin is so dry eek!!

If you are interested in trying Bellabox for yourself you can find out more here.

What did you receive this month?  Please leave a comment below, I would love to hear from you.

    I received the same box you did, and while I'm quite happy with the contents, I can't claim to be really excited about it. I was lucky to receive the CC Cream in the Light shade. I've heard the Banana Boat Sunscreen takes a lot of rubbing into the skin as it's thick and white, which turns me off a bit. The tampons will go to one of my daughters as I don't need them at the age of fifty three. I'm looking forward to trying the other products though.

    I am fairly happy with the contents too and I was really happy to receive the CC cream in Light :o)


    I've used other Zinc products and I don't like them myself but I will use this on my boys when they go swimming, good for their noses.

    Quite a few products there - bummer about the 1/4ths-full tube though I don't like Banana Boat, as it takes forever to absorb/blend. The L'Oreal primer is good!

    I really like Banana Boat's FACE Sunscreen it's the only one that doesn't make my eyes sting. I have never tried the L'Oreal Primer before so look forward to giving it a go.

    I'd never heard of the Bellabox before but it seems like a cook concept ! Do you get to choose shades when it comes to makeup or is it random ? xx

    I received the same box today! I'm glad I got this box and the sunscreen as opposed to the conditioner for coloured hair. Ohhh.. I'll check my tube to see if it's 1/4 full, it felt quite heavy though. Glad this box is good for us dry skinned people!

I'll be putting mine straight in the first aid kit as I have no lady-use for them! thanks for the tip Jac! :) pretty good box, I'm still waiting for mine.. if I get the sunscreen I'll be sure to check how full it is.. maybe yours is a dud? Fingers crossed it's in the post tomorrow!

    Lol I think I would have a hard time convincing my boys to let me stick one up their nose too. Hope your box gets here soon and I'd appreciate it if you could let me know how much sunscreen if you get one
