Bella Box August.. Go Green!

So it’s beauty sample box time again! Bella Box arrived in my mail thismorning and let me say, they have delivered the goods! The theme of this month’s box is “Go Green” highlighting a shift towards the natural approach for skincare and beauty. I was recently just talking about how I’m enjoying natural products more and more so there are some great ones I’m looking forward to try!

So what’s in the box…?

Lush Ro’s Argon Body Conditioner

I’ve been impatient and had seen a few others post about their boxes and was hoping I’d still get this product! It smells fabulous and I am a pretty big fan of Lush products!

Make sure you use this the right way though! Michaela from Lather Rinse Repeat did a post about it here – you use while IN the shower – just step out of the stream of water & massage into skin – then rinse off!

RRP $29.95 for 225g

Luk Beautifood Lip Nourish

I love the packaging of this lipgloss! It’s a brand new product and is 100% natural & edible. It has a vanilla smell about it and has a brown shimmery tinge when applied.

RRP $24.95

Wotnot Facial Wipes

Made entirely of natural fibres and enriched with aloe vera, almond and rosehip oil these feel pretty amazing on the skin, they also seem thicker than your average facial wipe as well.

RRP $7.95

USPA Wheatgrass Solar Energy Leave-In Serum

A leave in serum which preserves & protects colour treated hair. I’m a little bit confused as to what the “solar energy” in the name refers to but this also smells amazing, with green tea, Jojoba Oil, Grapefruit, Tangerine and other goodies inside!

RRP $32 for 150 ml

Be in Awe Clearing Serum

This product is to help prevent breakouts due to oily skin conditions. I will probably pass this on to someone else as my skin is ridiculously dry but I’ll give it a go, I’ve heard good things about their products

RRP $79 for 50ml

Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion

Probably not the most exciting product in the box, they recently did a huge household send out of these samples so I have used one of them previously. It’s a good everyday body moisturiser.

RRP $12.99 for 350ml

Sachets:

Be in Awe Calming Serum This is to relax this skin after trauma such as peels, microdermabrasion, sun exposure or for red or itchy skin. It contains a number of natural anti-inflammatories. There were two sachets of this included in this months box and this product is probably more suited to my skin than the clearing serum so I’m looking forward to testing it out! RRP $79 for 50ml

Phytocare Daily C For some internal wellbeing! Mix a sachet with juice or water RRP 17.80 (30 sachets)

EmerginC Phytocell Detox Mask I’ve tried this before so I’m pretty happy to see it again as it is an amazing face mask. Leaves skin clear and feeling beyond amazing. RRP $70 for 50ml

Overall, for me this was a pretty good box! I know some people will likely be disappointed due to the lack of makeup in this variation of the box – a few earlier had an eyeliner as well but I’d received that last month so it works out perfectly!

What did you think of this months Bella Box? And did you get the same as me?

April Lust Have It

What a fun week of mail so far! Today I got my lust have it box as I was heading out to my first exam which was great timing as I had something to look forward to when I got home!

The first thing I noticed was the box was almost double the size the previous one.. And inside all the contents were in a make up case!

It’s a nice, decent sized case with a zip! And the contents didn’t disappoint!

First up- De Lorenzo Elements Sea Salt Styling Spray
I think it’s a little embarrassing to admit I’ve never owned sea salt spray before but I’ve always seen how great it can make hair look! Certainly look forward to trying to get some nice beach hair!

Full size RRP $ 23.95

EmerginC Phytocell Detox Mask, Kombucha Cleanser and Phytocell Cream

These three 3ml sachets are a good sample size, and I am a huge fan of a good face mask so I look forward to trying this one out. It says it is a “French green clay mask” so sounds good!
The Phytocell Cream says it is a grape stem-cell based moisturizer (fancy) and I have no idea what Kombucha is!

RRP cleanser $44 120ml mask $65 50ml and moisturizer $105 50ml

True Solutions All Day Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 30

I have heard a lot about true solutions but never tried it, so look forward to giving this a go. It’s a great sample size too the only thing is its one shade fits all so see how me and my pale face goes!

RRP $60 100ml

Spa Fresh Blends Romantic Discovery

A bath “tonic” with Rose Petals, oils of Sweet Orange, Bergamot and Ylang Ylang. I love having nice bath salts for the rare occasions that I actually use the bath!
RRP $15.95

I Nuovi Glitteratti

Some cosmetic glitter! A lot of ladies were excited about this being in the box, It’s good because everyone likes a bit of sparkle by I don’t think i’ve ever really succesfully used cosmetic glitter before. I’ll keep my eye out for everyone else’s posts to try and get some inspiration!

RRP $19.95

And, not part of April’s Lust Have It pack but as an added extra to the March one I received a mirenesse Tight Liner in black caviar

Told you i’ve had a fun mail week! I haven’t tested this one out yet but once I do I’ll let you know!!
Now back to studying…. Also apologies if anyone got multiple notices of this post, i tried to write from my Ipad but had some issues and it kept publishing, one day I’ll learn!!

So what did you think of the Lust Have It pack for this month?? It’s one of my favourites so far!
