BELLABOX APRIL 2018 // PRODUCT REVIEW




And just like that another month has passed, which means that its time for another Bellabox, which is always exciting, and even more so, as lately, the monthly boxes have only gotten better and better. But let’s dive straight in, and see what is in the April edition of the Bellabox..

NYX The Go-To Palette in Wanderlust - $34.95
Needless to say that this palette is the item in this box which excites me the most. I also had the opportunity to select the palette, from a selection of a few, that I preferred, and this is the one I picked. How gorgeous is it, plus who doesn’t love NYX! It contains six eye shadows, along with a highligher, contour and blush, all in very beautiful muted earth tones, the sort of shades that I tend to reach for, so absolutely cannot wait to try this one out. 



PIXI by Petra Shea Butter Tinted Balm - RRP: $14.95
Everyone is raving about the PIXI products, but I am yet to try them out, so I’m very excited about the inclusion of this lip balm. I got the shade Ripe Raspberry, which appears as a bright fuchsia pink shade, but goes on the lips as a sheer pink. Absolutely gorgeous, so can’t wait to try that one too.

Blaq Eye Mask - 1 pack - RRP: $29 / 5 packs
I’ve only tried a small sample tube of a mask from Blaq, which I really liked, so also excited about this eye mask. It promises the leave the evidence of last night behind and leave the eyes look fresh, hydrated, refined , deputed and revived. It contains hyaluronic acid along with activated charcoal, and really does sound quite amazing. Cant wait to try this, with two little kids, my tired looking eyes are in dire need of some TLC.

Sun Bum Premium Moisturising Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+ - RRP: $17.99 / 177ml

I have tried a few of the products from Sun Bum and really liked them, so very happy with the inclusion of this SPF. I would, ideally, have loved to see this included in a box during one of the summer months where it would have been even more useful. But at least it has a ‘long life’ so I know it’ll still be good next summer if I don’t get to use it.

A’Kin Hydrating Antioxidant Day Cream and Replenishing Antioxidant Night Cream - Sample sachets, 2 x 3ml - RRP: $39.99 / 50ml, each
I have never really tried the facial care from A’Kin so do look forward to trying these. I love that they are made with botanical and organic ingredients, and are free from the chemical nasties including parabens, sulfates, and artificial colours or fragrances.

BONUS - Elastoplast Don’t Worry Plasters - two plasters
I love the idea of these brightly coloured and patterned plasters. I actually featured them a few months ago, and really liked the change from the usual boring skin-toned ones, that I made sure to grab an additional pack while I could, as they are limited edition.

So there you go, the contents of the April Bellabox. And yet again I am very excited. The NYX palette alone, makes this box incredible value, both money wise, but also as you got to pick the one you wanted, so you actually know you’ll use it. And secondly, the addition of the full sized PIXI lip balm and Sun Bum products, really means that it has an exceptional monetary value. Those three full sized products alone are worth almost $68! And then you can add the couple of sample sized products on top. Pretty amazing if you ask me,
