Don’t you hate it when you buy into the marketing of a new product, only to get it home, open it and find it doesn’t suit your skin tone? Or maybe you buy a whole box of something, use it once and discover that the shade really doesn’t go with your colouring. Money wasted trying things you think you like is one of a woman’s biggest beauty problems and causes a bathroom cupboard full of once used products all past their expiry date.
The answer to this modern day conundrum is BellaBox, a selection of beauty products sent to your door monthly that allows you to test a variety of products for the small fee of $15 and discover the hottest new products in the market.
They have done deals with the big names – Clinique, Estée Lauder and Avène among them, and cover all bases such as skincare, haircare, makeup and fragrance.
The five trial size products in each box allow you to test the waters and see which ones you like best, before you head to their online store to pick up the full size product. You could even pass the ones you are not so keen on to a friend. Wins for everyone!!
The twin sisters who launched BellaBox a year ago, Sarah and Emily Hamilton, have since branched out into BelloBox, a quarterly service for men, and BellaBaby – self explanatory really!
Buy for yourself or a gift subscription for a friend (available in 3, 6 and 12 month deductions) or WIN one right here! I have four BellaBoxes to give away to the first four comments on this post, who let me know what their most recent fave beauty buy was. Enjoy!
I recently got some super sparkly nail polish from Sportsgirl. You need to put 3 or 4 coats on but it looks awesome!
whilst not a new product, i’m obsessed with Bobbi Brown ‘Slopes’ lippie – its the perfect ‘blush nude’. obsessed!
The most recent addition to my faves list is Revlon’s Just Bitten Kissable balm stain in ‘Charm’. It’s a goodie!
what a brilliant idea – cosmetics are just too dear here in Australia to take a chance on an unknown. My most recent favourite purchase is a bottle of Sukin rosehip oil that I use only at night – it makes my skin so smooth and soft that my makeup during the day looks so much better
