Beauty: November Bellabox

The concept of a monthly subscription box filled with the latest samples in the beauty world is more than overdue on our sunny island. I've been watching Birchbox reviews by missglamorazzi (aka Ingrid) for far too long, wishing that somehow, someway it would grace our shores. And it finally has! Bellabox.sg launched their first box of goodies in October 2011. 

Being apprehensive of the quality of products in the box, I wasn't ready to part with SGD15 in October so I held back, waited for reviews and was sold the minute I saw OCC Lip Tars on the Bellabox.sg FB page (the reviews still didn't phase me much, I don't regret not having the October Bellabox).

What is Bellabox?

For SGD15 a month, you get 5 samples from cult favorite/up and coming/established brands. You pay the $15 as a monthly subscription on PayPal (you don't need an account, just a credit card) and you can cancel anytime before they bill you for your next box.

Pros 

You get to try some pretty cool products and you can buy them on their website if you really love 'em. You get reward points for writing product reviews and sharing your opinion.

Cons

This being my first box and all, I can't say that I'm disappointed with it. But I'm pretty sure you'll get to a point where you won't want some of the stuff in the box. 

So now that that's out of the way, here's the November Bellabox!

The November Bellabox

The theme for this month's box is Beauty by Nature featuring beauty products that are made from some top notch natural ingredients. 

Skinfactory Eye Dream Honey Patches

Retails on Bellabox.sg for $15 for a pack of 4 masks

This is supposed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and puffiness. I haven't really experienced any of these things so I might pass this off to me mum to give it a try. 

Korres Body Butter - Guava
Retails on Bellabox.sg for $37.00 for 150ml
 

Who doesn't love Korres? But I wasn't too fazed by the body butter sample I received. Yes it's amazeballs but I'd have preferred getting a sample of their organic and natural makeup. Some eyeshadow, primer, whatever.

Davines MELU Anti-Breakage Lustrous Shampoo & Conditioner 
Retails on Bellabox.sg for $28 and $29 for 250ml respectively
 

I love love l o v eeeee the smell of this stuff. Just smells so clean! I am definitely going to be using this til the containers are emptied!

Duchess Marden Damascena Anti-Wrinkle Serum
Retails on Bellabox.sg for $89.90 for 30ml

Yet another thing I'll probably be passing off to me mum to try. It smells divine though and I'm tempted to try it myself. The sample I received is 1.8ml and I'm probably guessing that the 30ml you get if you were to pay the full price might last you a long while. Maybe both me and mum and the sisters will be giving this a try. :P

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC) Lip Tar in Pageant
Retails on Bellabox.sg for $18.90 

Alas, this was the reason I spent $15 on the box. The color I got is Pageant, a bright hot pink color that when worn, reminds me of something Nicki Minaj wore in her Super Bass video (although minus all the frost). I absolutely love the minty smell of the lip tar and after seeing that loads of other peoples got different colors, I think I might be buying me some from the website. I hope the tube you get is bigger though, I can't help but think this is a sample size.


So that was this month's Bellabox! 

I'll try to do up a review of the stuff that I'm interested in and if I buy anything I'll be sure to post up a haul video.

Anyhoo


Peace lovies.


Til the next post.
