Bellabox - May 2012

"Pamper Yourself, Pamper Your Mum"

This month Bellabox has luxurious range of the skincare, haircare & makeup 
from around the world.

I'm very pleased with the products I got.
1 haircare, 2skincare & 2makeup items!!
A great mix of beauty selection :)

Beautiful, Beautiful Collection!
1) Seabastian Professinal Range
(Shampoo, Conditioner & Treatment - 10ml each)
*Full sized products from $34, avairable at salons
I'm not fan of satchel samples but these are generous 10ml sized ones.
I have never ever heard about this brand...so I'm excited to give it try.

2)Avene Eau Thermale
(Emulsion 5ml & Eye cream 2ml)
*Full size emulsion 30ml RRP $61.95
*Full size eye cream 15ml RRP $63.95
Avene was very popular in 90s, in Japan.
But I guess it is still popular as 
I've got Avene products from other beauty box...
I don't have sensitive skin but the Avene products work on every skin, in my opinion.
I'm happy to receive these samples.

3)A'kin
(Rose&Geranium Pure Creamy Cleanser & Toner in one - 30ml)
*Full size 225ml RRP $29.95
I've heard & seen A'kin before but I actually never had a chance to try.
When I searched for the best rosehip oil, I tested A'kin rosehip oil at shop
but it was too smelly like fish oil...so I had to go with Kosmea.
This item sounds interesting and has Shea Butter & Vitamin B5.
I will definitely try it and review sometime soon.

4)Silk Oil of Morocco
(Lip Gloss in Moroccan Ruby - up and coming - full size)
*Full size item RRP$29.95
the info card says "Argan oil is not just for you hair!..."
this gloss infused with Argan oil glides smoothly onto 
the lips to keep them soft and shining.
I looooove this Lovey Ruby Red shade!
I recently received another lip gloss from LHI which was pretty much nude shade,
so I'm glad to get RED one from bellabox.

5)BOBBI BROWN
(mini lash glamour extreme lengthening mascara - 3ml)
*Full seize RRP $48.00
I've got the same sample from Glossybox, back in the days.
I actually gave the last one to my friend but I might try it this time :) 
Always happy to receive luxurious brand item!

SEBASTIAN PROFESSIONAL from Germany
AVENE from France
A'kin from Sydney, Australia
SILK Oil of Morocco from QLD Australia
Bobbi Brown from USA

Over all, I'm very happy with bellabox :)

Lust Have It - May 2012

Wow!! 8 gorgeous products from 7 brands in LHI May 2012!
I couldn't stop smiling while I was unpacking the box :)

Only disappointment was 1/3 of the Bioderma spilled away
and LUST soap and info card was totally soaked...
but I guess this kind of thing happen from time to time.

Anyway, here is the items I got this month.
8 products + pouch + Mum's day card! Massive!!

evo - the therapist calming shampoo & conditioner 50ml each
I looooove evo!! I'm in love with evo hair mask back in days,
so I'm sure I will love these travel sized shampoo & conditioner duo.
Smells divine! and evo products do make my hair nourished.
RRP is $29.95 for 300ml bottle.
If you love Kérastase but think too expensive?
Then,I highly recommend to try evo!
*there are some print from info card stuck on the evo product :P

Caron Laboratories bump eRaiser Medi Paste 30ml
I'm not sure I ever needed this kind of products...but I might try.
This is good that I can share with my husband :)
RRP $16.75 for 30ml

Calvin Klen Sheer Beauty Perfume - sample size
I'm not fan of perfume samples...as I can get some from department stores if I want.
having said that, I appreciated they put this one
as I would never knew if LHI didn't put one in the box...
this is one of great things about beauty boxes! Discovering New Beauty Needs!
RRP $80.00 for 50ml

ModelCo Gloss (sugar plum) full size
Actually, I have never owned or used ModelCo items before.
the colour I've got is very subtle, feminine...Love it :)
Straight to go into my handbag!
*Avg RRP $22.00

BIODERMA Créaline H₂0
Crealine H₂O is soap-free, fragrance-free, alcohol-free and hypoallergenic.
It cleanses impurities and removes make-up without affecting the skin’s natural balance.
This is like a LANCOME Galatéis Douceur but I guess more gentle for the skin.
Made in France. RRP $39.95 for 250ml

it soaked with BIODERMA... so very strong smell in the box :P
"LUST SOAP" Orange-Pink Colour is very cute
As soon as I opened May pack, I could smell this one!
Great ylang ylang scent soap... called "LUST SOAP".
This scent could be bit too much for me.. I don't know if it because it has BIOCERMA on it..
I will definitely try it but I personally loved "Honey I Washed the Kids" more.
RRP $6.65 for 100g

Nicole by OPI 3.75ml
Beautiful lilac purple shade lacquer
I've received 2 Nicole by OPI lacquer last years box(purple&silver glitter lacquer)
This one is Plain Lilac purple. I love it!
Maybe not for hand nails but use it for pedicure will be much better and fun :)

All items were packed in this hot pink pouch
Over all, I'm very impressed AGAIN!!!

More importantly, LHI info card is always really easy to understand about products
and the message from Nicci & LHI team is really thoughtful.
Also, when the delivery didn't go smoothly last month,
they kept inform the situation to the customers, so we got a bit of ideas what was going.
I don't think not many companies would do that...
I personally believe they have the best customer service in Australia.

I know I say this every month...but
I'm so looking forward to JUNE box!

*Review* 1Skin Solution Vanilla Lip Balm

The best vanilla Lip Balm I have ever tried!


I got this one from lust have it  monthly subscription.
As I have received too many lip balm before from other beauty box merchants,
I was not so excited to see it in the box first.
Also, I'm usually go for citrus scent not sweet one like vanilla.
I thought I won't use it and even thinking to give it to my friend...

HOWEVER, one day I couldn't fine my regular lip balm and 
my lips were desperately needed a lip balm, 
so used this 1Skin Solution Vanilla Balm for first time...

I was so pleased with this lip balm!
It is kinda surprising because I'm not a huge fan of the scent.
1skin solution's vanilla is very subtle and not smell too artificially.
It also fits on my lips very well and gives instant moisture that I needed.
I've found my lips stayed nice & soft for a relatively long time.

Well, if you are looking for a vanilla lip balm, I recommend this 
1Skin Solution Vanilla Lip Balm :)

Only one negative...as you can see in the photos,
there was a huge hole in the middle of balm
(believe to be a bubble went in when it was manufactured...)
but I'm not disappointed much as I'm very happy, beside that.

a hole in the balm
a hole made uneven surface but quality of balm  is still great
 Petroleum, cocoa butter, Candelilla wax, beeswax, capric/ caprylic triglyceride, 
vitamin e, sweetener, vanilla flavour   Pack Size: 5g

Bellabox - APRIL 2012

My first Bellabox has arrived!!

I'm sooooooooooooo excited :)

Here is what I got in April box...
"be fashion forward with bellabox"
Love this teal blue package
Full of stuff in the box
OP THERAPY SUMMER SCRUB 75ml(full size) $19
Benefit 'Hello Flawless' foundation 5ml
pure DKNY verbena 1.5ml
Hollywood Feet heel cushions 2 pairs $9.95
ULTA3 Nail Polish (cocoa) 13ml full size $2
COMVITA  brightening range( exfoliant, serum & moisturiser) 1.5ml each
reusable box. nice size!

I'm very surprised that I love EVERYTHING in the box
as I usually find a couple of useless items in beauty boxes.
First of all, I'm pleased to receive OP THERAPY Summer Glow Scrub.
I have heard about the brand but never had a chance to try before, so this is fantastic!
"Pineapple & Papaya" sounds yummy!

Also, I love Benefit 'Hello Flawless' foundation.
Benefit is the one of the reasons I have signed up with bellabox.
I often get samples at my nearest Benefit counter in Myer
as I regularly buy something from them :)
BUT as I'm so addicted to Benefit products, 
I'm more than happy to receive their items in beauty subscription,too!
Very happy!
Just not sure the PETAL shade is right for my skin tone. I'm usually around "Beige" shade.
Having said that, sometimes I use lighter foundation base, 
so will see if it works on me :)

Nice to have heel cushions, loved cocoa nail polish, 
DKNY verbena spray smells devine...
I'm very new to COMVITA products and excited to try...
All of the items in this APRIL box gives me HUGE SMILE!

Oh, I must mention this... 
bellabox's customer service is faaaaantastic.
very prompt reply...gave me straight answer...
I didn't need to wonder as much as I did for other merchants... :P

Anyway, I'm already looking forward to May box!
