Bellabox March 2013

bellabox

I finally cave in and got myself a Bellabox. It was for half price at $9.95 for the first time subscription. I got the March issue. It was theme Spring in your step. The box is so pretty with the cherry blossom stickers on the front. The box is pretty sturdy. A good box for recycling. Just a small box, that can probably fit 2 and a half iPhone 4 in width.

I cannot deny I was excited receiving this box, I was trying my best not to tear this open. Even though I already seen what the samples are. They had 2 shipping, earlier of the month and the 20th shipping, which I got. I just love receiving stuff in the mail or from anyone actually.

So this is what the inside looks like. Thin tissue paper covered the goodies held inside.

I know like usually, you will get like 4-5 samples per box. I got 6 samples. And one of them come in 3. I guess as first timer, they trying to hook me in by giving me more?

pure dkny
So first up, a perfume sample. This is the Pure DKNY a drop of rose. I actually was hoping for the Taylor Swift wonderstruck enchanted but oh well. I was kind of disappointed as I do not like roses at all. So I spritz this on, and found that the scent is not that strong. It is in fact quite pleasant. Strange.

· Sourced from local farms for sustainability
· A rose scent that smells fresh, just-picked rose
· Perfect for day or night


Fresh roses from the garden smell heady, potently feminine, divine. But it's not an easy essence to bottle. Many fragrances incorporate rose into a floral scent that feels stuffy and old fashioned. This is where Pure DKNY a drop of rose comes in. Using rose petals sourced from Anatolian flower fields in Turkey, they've been able to preserve the integrity of newness that virtually sings of just-picked petals. What's their secret? These roses are hand-picked in the earliest hours of the morning, carefully processed through 26 stills and infused into a fragrance that like the name promises feels pure; clean, and totally essential. Smell for yourself. The term English rose has nothing on DKNY's pure Damascene drop of the same floral family!

It really is a nice scent. Not so strong. Very girly, if you know what I mean. Usually roses smell so strong and adult and feminine and powerful. This one smell so sweet(nice sweet, not sweet sweet) and for a better lack of word, girly. Pure and clean.

lemongrass house
Lemongrass house shower gel. I love this. I love the smell. It is just so yummy and clean. Smell so peaceful and calming without it being a lavender smell. I wonder if it will be sticky as gel can sometime be. I hope not. I really like the smell. I wanna buy this.

dr.ci:labo
Dr.Ci:Labo bb perfect cream. Another BB cream. Another new brand.
· So many benefits, all in a waterproof formula
· Acts as foundation, base, and concealer
· Brightens and lightens skin
· Moisturizes, nourishes, protects expertly

Dr.Ci:Labo super cleansing ex is a makeup remover. You know, I am still confuse about cleanser as in makeup remover or cleanser as in the face wash. I guess face wash also usually for removing makeup and cleansing. Oh well, I will eventually learn.
· The ultimate in anti-aging and makeup removal
· Encapsulates and softens debris to lift it away
· Improves blood flow
· Introduces moisture and vitamins

vichy bi-white med
Vichy bi-white med whitening replumping gel cream is a really nice gel. The texture of it is nice. It is an all in one whitening, moisturising and anti-aging gel. It uses cutting edge technology for fast results, includes peony + 5 essential oils. Plus it provides protection and simply beautiful skin.
Price = $59/50ml
Sample = 15ml, so its $17.70.

vichy vichy
This is Vichy bi-white med deep corrective whitening essence. I guess this will be use to compliment the gel. Like this is the serum, and that is the moisturizer. So I will try that two together. We shall see.

So I have not really try any of the product except Pure DKNY. Maybe I will, one day. In the mean time, I am trying to finish more product, so I can finally proudly get rid of them.

I like getting random boxes, but the price can take a toll on you. Plus I prefer makeup product than skin care. So ya. I shall see if I actually want to spend $20 every month on samples.

These are the other version of March Bellabox:

  • Sungstar Dolly received 5 totally different items.

  • Yvettia another one with some different products.

  • Silverkis have the same box as me. Apparently those invited to Bellabox event received the same box as this one.

Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto Lip Balm

This is in the shade 201, creamy and a hint of light milky pink. I like that it is pretty, but the shade doesn't really suit me. What I like best is that they can engrave your name on the packaging. So it is pretty. 

Yves Rocher Organic Vanilla

Christmas set right here. Love the scent. It's like a perfume vanilla. Not like vanilla extract but still quite good. I don't know, there is just something about it that makes me like it. So this set comes with 3 item. The shower puff, gel and lotion.  Silky Lotion is quite a watery lotion. I so used to squeeze bottle from TBS that this feels weird. The plastic is harder, so can't really clamp between my fingers. But the lotion flow out nicely. It's liquid-like and easy to apply. Sometime it feels like pour out to much. I guess also cause the opening is quite big. Blends into the skin and absorb quickly. Doesn't makes the skin feels sticky. Really good. Really love. Shower Gel is also very watery. It's like a thick syrup. But easy to flow out of the bottle. It lathers quite well. But I find that with shower gels is that it is better to use with a loofah. A bit of goes a long way. It will foam up, makes lathering so much more fun and easier. I guess you can alway...
