May Bellabox

May BellaBox had a 'Come Fly With Me' theme. It came in its signature blue box with a cardboard wrap, around it with the theme on it. As soon as I opened the box I was provided with a strong scent which I believe comes from the Appelles Rosemary Bodybar, it was a nice smell, but quite overwhelming (even the product card smells like it!).

The Invisible Zinc didn't have a blurb. It is something I've tried before and didn't like as it was too thick and just blocked my pores

Conclusion

The Appelles Rosemary Bodybar smell is quite overpowering with lemon myrtle and blue mallee eucalyptus. I don't think I'll be using this for a while as we already have a lot of soap in the house. It's not tested on animals, the ingredients are certified organic and it's paraben free. 

It was a bit of a disappointment to receive a Chapstick in the box. Most people have already tried Chapstick at some point in their lives and it's such an easy thing to pick up at the supermarket. Either way, I already have one so will be giving this to a friend.

I enjoyed the Timeless Truth Face Mask. My mother and I had a girls night where I used this mask and she use the other Timeless Trends mask I reviewed in another box (and promptly started laughing at other) The one I received in the BellaBox was the 'Stem Cell Extract Mask'. The name sounds a little odd, but it felt really nice on my skin, but cold to first apply! 

I'll type what it says on the pack "Employ an exclusive formula by incorporating precious stem cells as the main ingredients. Combining both the serum and the uniquely designed elastic cloth allows the essences to be fully absorbed at the cellular level, where aging begins. It goes right to the heart of the skin-aging problem by supporting the skins natural regeneration process helping to maintain healthy skin. The prolonged de-aging action prevents the loss of moisture and elasticity, helps to reduce skin damage , restore and maintain the skins vital condition." Something I will look at buying again.

WEN by Chaz Dean Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner is something I have been thinking about trying before. I haven't because I saw so many mixed results online. A ladies hair is not something to mess around with! Hahaha. I haven't tried this, I'm a little sceptical to try it as I'm currently using a shampoo and conditioner with argan oil to help my super dry bleach damages hair.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel did make my eyebrows feel stiff when I first tried it, and when it just tried it on my eyebrow then, it's a little sticky until its dry. It makes the skin under it a little shiny and I guess it doesn't feel natural to me; the gel restricting the skins natural movement. The application is a mascara brush which is easy to use, but it may be a little difficult to get a precise application if the gel was colored. I'm not sold on it. I guess it would be great if someone did have terribly unruly eyebrows, but for most people if you keep them manicured then you'll have no need for this gel at all. Not something I would spend $39 dollars to buy.

Overall I think this box was a bit of a dud. If I'm only counting full sized products I only have $17.94.  Bellabox costs $15 a month, so while I am getting my monies worth, there have been better months :)

The next box has a theme of 'Classic Icons'. I look forward to the June box!
