Hello Everybody!
I believe some of you would have heard of beauty boxes where you pay a subscription fee and they would send you a box of samples every month. Some of the samples are even the newest in the market which you get to try it out at a lower price!!! Pretty good deal for many gurus to get updated and bring the best to our pretty friends :)
Many countries have many different companies providing such services and what we have in Singapore is BellaBox Asia!
I love it that not only do you have to just pay $19.95/mth or $219.45/12mnths you get quite a decent amount of beauty samples in such a pretty and good quality box!!! Its not like other products where you buy online and only get to use what you buy, the box that the goodies come in can also be used on a long term basis! Totally awesome. I guess my storage is going to be filled with BellaBox boxes!
The theme for July is La-Petite Parisienne. So excited to see whats inside!!! (I know its August already but i only recently decided to get it so my July box came slightly late...^^)
Look what i got in my Bella Box! I have so much to try out and share with you all. But first lets see what each items are. The box also comes with a description card :)
L'oreal Paris Hair Expertise Eversleek Shampoo & Conditioner (in stores: 250ml / $14.90)
100% free of drying sulfates and harsh parabens, get ready for sleek and seriously smooth hair without the harmful chemicals!
Hair Expertise Eversleek is infused with natural oils and flower extracts. It claims to give you a wonderfully sensorial hair care experience and undeniably beautiful hair with frizz control for up to 48 hours!
I have seen the effect it has when it was tried on "Tried and Tested" show. Can't wait to feel it for myself!
Givenchy Dahlia Noir EDP (in stores: 75ml / $175)
Concocted with pink pepper, mandarin, cedrat, rose, peach, cedarwood, sandalwood, vanilla and amber, this structured yet delicate scent fully embraces the brand's identity of a woman's enthralling elegance.
I have always had this impression that Givenchy has like very unisex scents and caters more to guys. No doubt, when i sprayed in on my arm, the pepper smell is quite rich and it smelt very powder. I always think if i want the smell of powder, a bottle of baby powder will do the trick.
Not that it doesn't smell good, but i prefer more floral and sweet scents :)
L'oreal Paris UV Perfect Anti-Dullness UV Protector (in stores: 30ml / $22.90)
A silky smooth sunscreen that offers lasting UV protection, its lightweight texture offers sun-shielding properties of SPF 50+ UVB, UVA PA+++ for up to 12 hours long.
Pretties, if you would like to have fair smooth skin, please protect your skin with sunblocks. It's very important and UV rays are very harmful and it darkens and brings out ugly pigmentation. No matter which brand you like to use, PLEASE USE SUNSCREEN! I cannot emphasize it more.
Many sunscreens that i tried are very thick in consistency which i don't really like. Since it claims to be lightweight, i shall try. As i try out this product, i would recommend Biore Sunscreen if you are looking for one and like lightweight textures at the mean time. ^^
Dr. Ci:Labo SUPER Cleansing EX (in stores: 120g / $50)
This cleanser is know to provide umpteen benefits in one special formulated product that's designed right down to its feel, look and use. It is formulated for anti-aging and makeup removal as it encapsulates and softens debris to lift it away. It is said to be able to improve blood flow and introduces moisture and vitamins for skin radiance and health.
The product comes in a tube form and in a gel consistency. However, when comes in contact with the skin, i can feel that it turns a little oily and warm. It is mentioned on their website that the gel deeply penetrates into the skin, warming on its own to improve blood circulation which helps in anti-aging. The oil helps softens debris and dead skin cells for easy removal with rinsing.
Who wouldn't like to have smooth wrinkle-less, clean and healthy skin? For people like me who puts on make-up, being able to clean off everything at the end of the day is very important and the chemicals and particles in make-up are not good for the skin as it clogs pores resulting in pimples and acne. So it's important to have a good base before putting on make-up and a good cleanser to remove everything. Definitely will give this product a try and share after my experience :)
Lollipops Glossy Liptick in Fatal Cocktail (in stores: $27)
Description: An ultra-nourishing lipstick with a shiny, shimmery finish, its coral shade will transform your lips into an alluring cocktail concoction that is deliciously glossy. It is paraben, preservative and lanoline free.
I did a quick swatch on my hands earlier and think that it feels more like a tinted lip-balm then a lipstick as the pigment is very sheer (i accidentally deleted the photo -.-") I'll try it on my lips and do another swatch again soon :)
For girls who like sheer and moisturizing look, this could be the product to go for :)
This is the product that came in full-size in the box though :) Not too sure how long the case can last though as it feels rubbery and rubber cant that heat very well - they tend to turn sticky~
Last but not least
L'oreal Paris Revitalift Laser X3 Cream and Serum (in stores: Cream @ 50ml / $39.90, Serum @ 30ml / $49.90)
A triple-action cream and serum that claims to give laser procedures a run for its money - it resurfaces, corrects wrinkles and re-plumps skin for youthful, radiant skin.
I have always wanted to try L'oreal's recent skin care products such as the above product and the Youth Code Boosting Serum and Luminizing Essence. But i have pretty sensitive and dehydrated skin which makes me think twice. I ever used L'oreals skincare day and night cream before but it made me breakout. it was a while back though. probably my skin was still young at that time. Now that i am 22, its the time where skin aging starts and so i would give them the benefit of the doubt and give them a try again.
I always believe, you don't have to spend tons if you can find and choose the right products :)
I'm very very careful at what i am using now as the New York Skin treatment has already caused me a bomb (no choice as my skin was in a drastic stage. It has really gotten better already, no worries :) i have my smooth skin back with some scars to take care of now) Facial treatments do help to speed up healing process but it is not a long-term solution cause they are mega expensive.
I am not recommending super cheap skincare here, don't get me wrong. Quality is still very important. You pay for what you get. I suggest to spend a little more to take care of your skin (which is worth it). At least middle range products are recommended :)
That's all in the box!!! There's so much for me to try and review!!! So do look out for my review posts!!! :D
I cant wait for my next BellaBox too!!

Stay pretty Beauties! ^^
