Like Lust Have It!, Bella Box is $15/month and you get five 'prestige, boutique and cult beauty products from around the world'.
Now unlike Lust Have It!, the packaging of the Bella Box was exquisite.
This is how it arrived in my mail box:
Gorgeous.
Then inside was another, equally gorgeous box.
For the box alone, I would get this subscription, lol. I already have ideas of what to store in this box and future boxes.
But, alas, this subscription does not just get you a pretty box. Like Lust Have It!, here is a list of what may have been in the December box with more details on the products themselves.
All so delicately wrapped in tissue paper.
John Frieda Frizz-Ease Finishing Creme - I am pretty excited about this product. I totally forgot it was in the box and actually went to the hairdresser the other day asking for a product to do very similar things. I suffer from the dreaded 'sticky-uppy-frizzy-bits', especially more so now that I am using my AWESOME (yet uber powerful) Christmas present of a ghd Hair dryer. I'm new to the whole hair dryer scene, so I'm an yet to discover the must-have products to make my hair look salon styled. I can't wait to see if this product really will tame my frizzy tendrils.
emerginC Cleanser and Cream - As I mentioned in my previous post, I am a devout Clinique skincare follower. But I will try these lovelies and see whether they do what they claim to do which is 'turn back the hands of time'. Let's face it, I'm no longer a spring chicken and if I take care of my skin now, I may just look younger for longer...
Compeed Blister Patches - just what every girl needs. We all know the pain and agony of breaking in new shoes, and these bad boys are supposed to act like a second skin to help prevent new blisters from forming while soothing and healing the blisters that already exist. I don't have any blisters right now, but when I do, I'll be sure to give these a whirl.
Allegra Rhodes Hand and Nail Cream - I love hand creams and this little beauty is so tiny, it will fit easily in my handbag. Obviously there is only a few uses, but it smells heavenly.
And now for the big ticket item Bella Box was raving about in their emails. As you can see, most of their box products are sample size. But this next item is 'real size' and according to their website, worth $110. So either they are over-exagerating to the extreme (come on, the whole box only cost $15, how can they justify a product worth over $100?!) or I chose the perfect time to join.
Savoir Faire Limited Edition Kit "C'est le ton qui fait la musique" - This was a surprise. I am always looking for new make-up to add to my collection, and while I don't tend to lean towards make-up kits, the eye shadows in this have me hypnotised. They are full of sparkle and shimmer and I can't wait to use them. The eye-liner, mascara and blusher will also most likely get a go, but I can't see myself using the lipgloss.
So that was my first Bella Box. All in all, I'm fairly impressed, though I do believe there is more value in the Lust Have It! box (not including the allegedly $110 make-up kit...). I am unsure as to whether they have big ticket items in all of their boxes, or whether this was just a Christmas treat.
Another notable aspect of Bella Box is that you can purchase most of the box products in full-size on their website. Which is great, as there is nothing worse than liking a sample product but then having no idea how or where to purchase it (I think Lust Have It! may have something similar, where you can purchase box products in their 'shop').
I look forward to receiving my next box.
Hopefully some nail polish will make its way in to one (or both) of these great beauty box subscriptions.
