Bellabox - April

April 2013

What I was excited about:

Everything, I wanted to try it all as soon as I opened the box. I had not experienced that much excitement in a long time. 

What surprised me:

Lady Gaga - Fame. I don't like a lot of the perfumes endorsed by singers/actors, I find that they're pretty to look at but the quality is nothing special and the fragrances are so so. I loved this fragrance. I put some on in the morning before work and its still lasting 8hrs later. The fragrance is lovely. 

What I liked:

Cellilux, it was a strange sensation as it dried, almost burning but it made my skin feel great. I thought it might become dusty when dry  but it sets to the face really well, no mess when dry and it washes away with ease. Loved it. I'm not sure if I could justify the $69.00 price tag for 60g. It would want to last a long time... Maybe...

Indigo Facial Scrub: I love scrubs with fine particles, to me it feels like its getting into the smaller pores. I may be wrong but I love how it feels on the skin, like a light sanding.  $56.00 is pretty pricey though and these days you can make your own scrubs for a fraction of the price...

Jacquline Evans Argan & Rosehip Moisturizing Cream: It is advertised more for dry and mature skin types but I love using under the eye area. The skin under my eyes is a lot softer and it helps with any fine lines, not that I have much but it makes me look alive when I'm tired. Which is a lot. I am not a morning person and have to start work early. - Life saver. Using it as an eye cream the product would last forever... Ok not forever ever but a long time. $46:00 may just be worth it...

Averne Micellar Lotion 3 in 1: I love cutting corners and having the best outcome, This product does just that. It removed all makeup and cleansed my skin. Love! - $32.95 Worth it. It would last a long time too. 

What I didn't care for:

Rimmel BB Cream, It was thick, wouldn't blend and looked cakey, I had high hopes for this product but I hated it, I felt like I was wearing a mask and it felt oily too touch. 

I wore it to work to give it a full day workout and my boss noticed how bad it was and commented, how embarrassing. Maybe its not suitable to my skin type but it definitely was a no go for me.   

Australian Bush Flower Essence Body Love Moisturizer the smell, while sweet was too much for me. I prefer lotions with subtle smells or not at all. Fragrance can be a real problem in cosmetics. It's a no go for me. 

Overall thoughts for the box this month:

I loved the box for April. This was my first Bella Box and to be honest I didn't have high hopes for it. I saw some past reviews of others customers and it didn't seem that interesting but for $15:00, cancel any time it was worth giving it a go and I am so glad I did.
