Bella Box July… Essential Beauty Buys

21 Jul

First thing Friday I received my July Bella Box in the mail, I felt like i’d been waiting for ever because it was one of the last shipped!! It was however, most definitely worth the wait- with 6 full sized products!

So what was in the box..

Neutrogena Deep Clean Foaming Cleanser & Sample Gentle Scrub

This foaming cleanser is incredibly refreshing, with a tingly cool boost! It’s a pretty good morning wake-me-up! The scrub is also great especially if you have dry or sensitive skin as it is very gentle.

Cleanser RRP $13.99

Mode Glitter Nail Enamel

Perfect for a little bit of sparkle on the nails, I remember using mode products years ago when I think they were sold in Kmart? The colour is great but as usual a pain to get off! I had a bit of a play with it over my L’oreal polish

The RRP for this baby is just $2.45 so you can afford to snatch up a few!

Bourjois Smoky Eye Pencil in Dark Purple

Certainly not a colour I would normally pick but it’s been great to try out as I haven’t used many Bourjois products in the past. It is a very dark purple so I think it would look great if you want a vibrant make-up look. I’m not sure how “Smoky” the effect of this could be however, as when I swatched it and used the applicator it didn’t budge too much.

RRP $20

Carmex Moisturing Lip Balm

Perfect timing as the lipbalm I normally keep in my bag had just run out! Carmex is a classic brand and for anyone who hasn’t tried it, I think you’ll love it!

RRP $5.99

Almay Get Up & Grow Mascara

Another brand I haven’t tried much before, this is a black/brown mascara that promises to strengthen and lengthen lashes! I’ll have to report back once i’ve given it a bit of a test.

RRP $19.95

You, Me & Everybody Shady Lady Daily Face Milk

This is something I’m going to try really hard to fit into my daily routine, I love primer but it doesn’t normally contain and SPF rating so this face milk will be great to apply in summer before makeup! It’s also a brand I haven’t heard of before and I love it’s packaging so lets see how we go!

RRP $9.99

The body Shop Chocomania Body Butter & Givenchy Pi Neo Samples

This Body Butter reminds me that I haven’t eaten chocolate in almost two weeks.. It smells define and is nourishing and pretty much everything you expect for a Body Shop Body Butter, they have just always seemed to do them so well! They also included a little sample for the man in your live with this Givenchy scent.

SO MUCH in this months box with the full size product value over $70 and a tonne of fun new things to try. Bella Box has definitely raised the bar!! Can’t wait for next months!
