Bellabox July 2014 Review

After delivery delays last month, I'm actually quite pleased and surprised that my Bellabox was delivered with the first shipment! Bellabox definitely listened to their members and made extra effort to improve this month's delivery and sneak peak items inclusion.

For those that's asking what's a Bellabox?

I'ts a monthly beauty box subscription for $15 wherein you get 5+ surprise products that you can try and enjoy. Most of the products are newly released or brands that are not easily available in Australia.


What did I get?

Info Card

Designer Brands 10% off voucher

Cuccio Body Butter in Honey & Soy Milk sample

ModelCo Eye Define Eye Pencil in Black

Anastasia Lash Genius Waterproof Topcoat luxe sample

Designer Brands Lip Butter in Mango

Urban Rituelle Body Soap

June Empties

I know it's already July but it's only now I have the time to post my June empties. It's still better late than never and that has been my motto when I was still in school! haha



Here's my empties for June:

Organic Care Conditioners in Nourish & Balance  $3.75

- This is my go to conditioner if I can't afford my usual organic conditioner. You can easily buy this at supermarkets and so affordable compared to regular conditioners. I also love that this is organic and even the bottles are made from recycled materials. I'm also a supporter for local products so this is a big plus for me. It has a nice smell and what's great about this product is that it doesn't weigh your hair down and leaves you with a clean and soft hair.

Aveda Thickening Conditioner sample    $49.95 200ml

- I got this very small sample when I bought one product from Aveda and they were offering free shipping and 6 samples for free as well. It's recommended for those who have fine and falling hair which best describes my hair. It has a nice sweet smell and it does leave your hair soft and smelling nice all day but the container is too small. I was able to stretch it to 2 uses and 2 days of use will definitely not show any results yet if it's effective or not. Sadly, the small sample has not convinced me to buy the expensive full size bottle.

Bellabox June 2014 Review

My June Bellabox came 1st day of July but I must say it's worth the wait. I'm one of those lucky ones who got a good box and I'm not complaining. Although some members are complaining because of the discrepancy of the items when you compare boxes, personally, I will be happy as long as the items I get are worth more than the $15 that I paid for the box.

But, I guess I have a beautiful fairy godmother and I got 2 of the sneak peak items for the June box. I couldn't be any happier!

So, what did I get?

I didn't expect to get a good box as I'm one of those people who got their box quite late so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw what's inside. Patience is a virtue they say!


What are the items I got?

The front of the Info Card showing the June theme: Iconic Beauty.  Love the bright red lippie!

The back of the Info Card where it gives you description of the items you have in your box.

InStyle Magazine $9.95

This magazine looks interesting but to be honest I just browsed a little bit but haven't had the time to really look through the pages. Maybe on the weekend!

Mary Kay at Play Baked Eye Trio in Ocean View $18

Red Pawpaw June 2014 Review

After seeing a post about Red Pawpaw I knew I have to subscribe!

If you haven't heard Red Pawpaw yet then you are missing out on one of the best subscription boxes here in Oz!

What is it?

It's a subscription box for $5 or $10 a month and you get over $30 worth of household items!

There's 2 options:

$5/month where you trial the products and give a feedback after

$10/month if you only want to trial it 

https://www.redpawpaw.com.au/

They're actually quite new and just 3 months old and I was lucky enough to get a membership and be part of their 10,000 customers. They currently stopped taking new members but you can sign up to be in their waiting list and I believe they will soon reopen membership. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed! For just $5 it's definitely worth it!

So, what did I get?

It comes in a medium size white and red box that you can reuse.

Isn't this just amazing? I was giddy with excitement!

We already use most of these items and  I'm happy to get items we already love and new ones to try. There should have been a catalogue included but unfortunately I didn't get one so I'll try to describe the products as much as I can.
