Bellabox - 2nd Birthday - October 2013 - What's in my box this month? ;)

It's that time of the month....Bellabox opening time ;)  October celebrates the second year of Bellabox. Happy Birthday!  They also teamed up with the stylish girls at They All Hate Us and included at least one of their five favourite beauty products in each Bellabox.   

Bellabox is a $15 monthly beauty subscription box and if you would like to sign up or know more visit here.

Alfaparf Semi Di Lino Moisture Shampoo & Mask - (Sample Size) - Full Size = $25.00-$29.00  

They smell lovely, are sulfate free and are said to control frizz so I'm happy to give them a whirl.  They are a generous 50/60ml size so there's definitely a few washes in here. 

Happy Skincare Cloud 9 Deep Cleansing Balm - (Sample Size) - Full Size = $34.10

I've been intrigued by cleansing balms for a while and I try to find skincare with more natural ingredients, it's also from an Australian skincare brand, so this ticks a few boxes.  I'm interested to try this as it's suppose to be cleansing and conditioning in one and due to all the natural oils in the ingredients, it will work well for removing makeup.  

Jacqueline Burchell Nail Lacquer Duo - (Sample Size) - Full Size = $17.95  

I didn't think they were anything special at first glance, but on closer inspection these nail polishes are gorgeous.  Magnetic Midnight has a purple base with iridescent multicoloured fine glitter, the photo doesn't really do them justice.  Don't Rush Me is a light copper with dark pink glitter and multicoloured hexagonal glitter chunks.  I love glitter polishes, even though they are a pain in the hoohah to remove, so I can't wait to try them on the nails. 

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream -  (Sample Size) Full Size - $15.95

I had a few of these already from a Maybelline Facebook promotion which I still haven't tried.  There is only 1ml in these sachets so I don't know how much of a trial you can get out of them.  

Chapstick Strawberry - Full Size $3.99

Uh yep, it's a lip balm...next... 

Beyonce Heat - (Sample Size) Full Size - $39.00

When I first saw this I thought it was a lolly because of the whole 2nd birthday thing.  Luckily I looked closer as I don't think it would taste all that great.  I found the scent a bit common, nothing really stands out and makes it unique.  I can smell the Vanilla, Peach and Neroli but it just blends together and smells like a cheap generic perfume scent to me.  I thought coming from Beyonce and with a name like Heat it would pack more punch and stand out.  I like the packaging of the bottle as it doesn't have your typical spray or dispenser, it has four small holes to disperse a small amount, which means it won't spill everywhere.  

Not going to lie I was expecting a bit more as the only full size product was a lip balm.  Considering last months box (my post here) and because it was their birthday I thought there may have been more.  After looking through the products though, there are a few that I am interested in trying and will pretty much use every product (except for the perfume).

I thought I'd do a price breakdown as I intend to do for all Bellabox reviews, so if you are interested you can see how much bang you get for your buck.
