Bellabox 'Beauty Snap' July Box!




Hi guys! Recently I was sent a Bellabox, which is very exciting! Despite my interest in YouTube 'unboxing' videos and reading blog posts about beauty boxes, I've never subscribed to any of these services myself. I think the last time I received a Bellabox was many years ago, so I was keen to get this baby open and see what it contained!





This is the July 2019 Box, called 'Beauty Snap'. Inside the blue spotty Bellabox, there's a product card detailing the contents, plus an ingredients card which is helpful for those with allergies, a preference for natural products or just those of us who are curious! You can also visit the Bellabox website for more information on the products included in your box. Let's have a look inside!

Contents
~ Luna By Luna Eyeshadow in Miracle (1.5g)
~ Coco & Eve Like A Virgin Coconut & Fig Hair Masque (38ml)
~ Liar Wrinkle Cheater Eye Roller (12ml)
~ Model Co Highlighting Shimmer Whip in Champagne (7ml)
~ Yes To Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Mud Mask (10ml)
~ Plunketts Nutri-Synergy Intensive Working Hands (4g)





I'm loving the range of products in this box. There's makeup and skincare and even a haircare product, so there's enough variety to please most beauty lovers. Apart from the single use face mask and the sachet of hand moisturiser (a bonus product in this box), the remaining products are a generous size, and will take quite some time to use up. The Luna By Luna eyeshadow and Liar Wrinkle Cheater eye serum are in fact full sized products!

I'm really impressed with the Luna By Luna eyeshadow, especially since I've never heard of the brand! It's soft, smooth and easy to work with, blending out well. It's very pigmented too and can be built up for a more intense look. I'm loving it all over the lid with winged liner for when I don't have time to apply five different shades! {cruelty-free and gluten-free}

The Coco & Eve Like A Virgin Coconut & Fig Hair Masque smells ah-mazing! It's enriched with raw virgin coconut from Bali and fig essence. Having fine, thin hair that goes limp quite easily I was concerned this would smooth my hair into non-existence, but I needn't have worried. It resulted in smooth, soft, nourished, healthy looking hair, but not a lack of volume. I still used my root-lifting spray and volume mousse as well as volume dry shampoo at the roots, because my stupid hair needs all this just to look decent, but I had added shine and extra hydration as a bonus! {cruelty-free, gluten-free, sulphate and paraben-free, vegan}





The Liar Wrinkle Cheater Eye Serum comes in a handy eye roller and is 100% natural, containing Hyoxinol to boost cell renewal, Hyaluronic Acid to deeply hydrate and copper to heal and smooth the skin. I love that the roller ball cools upon application as this is always a lovely feeling. The formula is a thin clear serum which absorbs easily. I haven't noticed that much of a difference in terms of wrinkle reduction yet, but will continue using it and see what happens. {cruelty-free, vegan, safe to use whilst pregnant and breastfeeding}

The Model Co Highlighting Shimmer Whip really surprised me! I'm not usually a fan of cream highlights, normally opting for powder highlighters, but this shimmer whip is really pretty and super flattering! It applies and blends well and can be built up for more of a pop of radiance if that's what you desire. I also applied a tiny bit down the bridge of my nose and on my cupid's bow for that finishing touch to my look. I enjoyed getting my glow on with this Champagne shade!

I'm always eager to try more products from the Yes To range, and I much prefer these types of masks over the increasingly popular sheet masks. The Yes To Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Mud Mask contains 96% natural ingredients including charcoal to draw out impurities, salicylic acid to treat and prevent acne breakouts and a botanical blend of tomato, watermelon and pumpkin to condition the skin. The consistency of this mask is super thick, so much so that it was difficult getting it out of the packet and applying it to the skin! I could also feel it sitting heavily on my face. However it was worth the effort, because I experienced tighter pores, more even skin tone and brighter skin. Overall a vast improvement!

I love the John Plunkett Cosmeceuticals range of skincare! One of my favourite ever eye creams is the John Plunkett Collagen Eye Lift Firming Eye Cream which I've blogged about here so I was keen to try the Plunkett's NS Intensive Working Hands cream from their Nutri-Synergy range. This is an intensive repair treatment that provides relief for dry, cracked skin, rough patches, sensitive skin and frequently washed hands. I found it to be hydrating, nourishing and great to smooth out dry skin on my cuticles. A really lovely hand cream which I also enjoy using on my elbows!

The Limited Edition Christmas Bellabox!




Merry Christmas, guys! I hope you all had a fabulous day and were spoiled with pressies! This post is all about a Christmas present I won for myself :)

I don't have much experience with subscription boxes. I've never felt the desire to sign up, because I seem to be constantly swimming in samples, and have enough products around the house to use up, without having to pay each month for a box containing more! However, I have on the odd occasion won a box, including the special Limited Edition Christmas Bellabox recently. I have nothing to compare this to, so I don't know if it's good, bad or otherwise in the world of subscription boxes, but I'm pretty impressed with it. I feel like there's a lot of goodies in there, and they don't look at all cheap and/or nasty. Let's see what I got in the Limited Edition Christmas Bellabox.....




Contents
~ QVS Concealer Brush
~ Coastal Scents Dome Shadow Brush
~ Burts Bees Nourishing Facial Wash (29.5 ml)
~ BIODERMA Sensibio H2O (20ml)
~ Max Factor Masterpiece Max High Volume & Definition Mascara (full size)

~ ASPAR Rose & Shea Hand Cream (10ml)
~ Chapstick Night Repair Lip Treatment (7g)
~ Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter (full size)
~ UB Tint Stick in Siren (full size)
~ LAQA & CO Lip Lube in Bees Knees (full size)
~ LAQA & CO Cheeky Lip Pencil in Humble Brag (1g)








Upon checking the website today it seems the box is valued at $49.95, then Bellabox were selling them at 40% off, for $29.95 (they are no longer available). There was supposed to be a pack of 5 NIP+FAB SKIN Glycolic Fix Exfoliating Facial Pads in my box, but I guess I missed out on those!  I'm excited to try the Bioderma, as it's a step up from my usual Garnier Micellar Water, and the Laqa & Co lip products look interesting, too. I'm also impressed that makeup-wise, I got four full-sized products. The box is lip product-heavy, but that's a plus in my book! I do love the cute spotty yellow box everything came in, so I'll keep that for storing shit in. Overall, I think this is an awesome box, and I'm happy to have won it! Speaking of competitions, stay tuned for a post towards the end of January, where I'll feature all the prizes I won this December!

What do you think of this box? Do they often miss an item out? Do you get your Bellabox on time every month? Do you normally get this many products, or is this a big box because it's a special Christmas one? I have so many questions! Help me out in the comments below.
