Bellabox April 2012

This morning I received my Bellabox. I had seen some spoilers on blogs I read, but of course I got a slightly different box to keep me on my feet! The box is all about being "fashion forward" and celebrating the upcoming Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. 


Comvita Brightening Samples (3 x 1.5mls)
I received 3 different samples from their brightening range. Included was their Brightening Facial Exfoliant, Brightening Facial Serum and Brightening Protective Moisturiser with SPF15. Now, I've tried one of their cleansers before and had a very bad reaction! So I'm really hesitant to try them, even though they sound great. I'll probably try it on the back of my neck first to see if I also react to this. 


OP Therapy Summer Scrub (75mls)
This is a full size product and I received the Pineapple and Papaya Sea Salt Scrub. While the name sounds great, I was sad to find that it didn't smell the way I expected. I thought it would smell tropical, but instead it has a more oily smell (a bit like olive oil).


Ulta3 Nail Colour in "Enchanted" (13ml)
This is another full size product. The colour is a perfect for the cooler weather. It's a dark purple that has shimmer in it. I used to love these polishes when I was younger as they are only $2 and are good quality (not OPI quality, but amazing for the price!).


Pure DNKY Verbena Spray (1.5ml)
This is a really soft fragrance. It reminds me slightly of "Cool Water." It's probably more a summer fragrance, or great for someone that doesn't like a sweet in your face scent.


NAK Aroma Hair Oil (10mls)
Hair oils are big in the beauty world, but there are a lot of hits and misses. I really like this one because it smells amazing! It has a gorgeous sweet smell. You can either use this as a treatment or a styling oil. I haven't used Nak products before, but they are Australian made and don't test on animals which I love.  


Hollywood Feet Gel Cushions
An odd inclusion for a beauty box, but useful none the less. These are really great for your feet when you are wearing high heels. They are reusable and also have a lavender scent. 


Overall the box is much more than what you pay for it. The 3 full size products (salt scrub, nail polish and feet cushions) are $30.95. But sadly this box is missing the WOW factor. While it's a nice box, there isn't anything that I've fallen in love with. 


Some girls received a sample of Benefits new foundation instead of the hair oil. I would have loved to try it, but they don't seem to have a great colour range, so it was a blessing in disguise not receiving it. There is nothing more frustrating than the incorrect foundation colour.


Are you happy with you Bellabox? If you were sent the foundation, was the colour ok?
