Bellabox

Hi I'm back! Fifty years older. Hahaha! How do I look??? Still as beautiful? It was fun playing dress up at godma's recently, we digged out all her wigs and I tried them on to see how I'll look like years down the road. My godma is stunning for her age. She works out every alternate day to keep her trim and fit, plays tennis in her leisure time and eats healthily on a daily basis, so you can imagine how she looks like, nothing like her age! But thinning hair has always been a problem for her, hence the wigs. I guess nobody's perfect? Nevertheless, she's a total inspiration to age gracefully. She always advised me to keep my hair healthy and so far I've kept my virgin hair free from any treatments and colouring cos I am really kiasu, in fear that anything will damage these "baby" tresses. Thus I have one tiny wish for later years, hair please don't go on a thinning strike!!! Another valuable takeaway from godma: As important as it is to protect and care for our hair, it is also important to take great care of our overall health and skin to look younger than our age! 

I loveeee trying new beauty products, but at the same time I'm also very skeptical! So what I'll do is to try samples before buying. But getting samples is embarrassing T_____T I used to talk to the salesgirls over the beauty counters and hopefully show enough interest so that they'll give me samples willingly before I realised you gotta deal with their moods and good and bad sale days too. On days a particular salesgirl is very enthusiastic, she'll give you so many different products to try but on days they are not, better not to even get near them cos they may just snap at you, irritated that you're not buying anything and yet asking for something FOC. But hey, how many percent of people actually listen to the beauty consultants rave about their products and decide to buy them on the spot? I know I don't belong to that percentage. So imagine my joy when I found out there's something called Bellabox! If you love trying and adding new products to your usual skincare routine without the hassle of getting samples over the counter, order Bellabox! Each month, you'll receive 5 of the latest prestige, boutique and cult products in the comfort of your own home as every box is lovingly hand delivered! Their delivery is superb, I was showering when my Bellabox arrived hence I didn't hear the doorbell ring, but the Bellabox delivery guy actually called up to double check so I managed to get my Bellabox right after the shower! Singpost should follow suit so I don't need to collect registered parcels at the post office anymore! >< 

This is how it looks like! The colour is peach pink, which doesn't show in this picture. Mm time to get a new cammy?

Excitement building up as the unwrapping begins!

Everything is pink! The envelope, wrapping paper and ribbon! I LOVE PINK (: It makes my Bellabox so dainty and sweet!

Actually, this part kinda kills the joy. If you're one to read any letter before unwrapping a gift, you're just like me! But opening the envelope is an anti-climax step sadly, cos all the brochures of the products you received are in it T______T So you already know what's inside before you even unwrap the "gift"! ):

Some brochures are really helpful, like this SKII one! It's a step-by-step guide to use the products in sequence and how to effectively get better skin by using the right techniques when you apply them!

There are also discounts when you purchase full size products. How awesome can this get?! You get to try the product, and if you love it, you can buy it at a discounted price!! 

Tadaaa! My July Bellabox items!!!

Guess what this is?

It's a really cute pen in the form of a Bellabox lipstick! Recently I've been going on a crazy stationery spree in preparation for school, pens, pencils, notebooks, paper, you name it, I've got it haha so this fits in well with the rest of my recent loots! (:

My very first SKII trial set (: SKII is such a raved about brand, it's a joy to finally be able to try it!! 

Healthy facial treatment skin conditioner and Platinum hologram illuminating hydro cream base from L'EGERE. I've never used their products before so this is also a first! After research I found out that these two are very popular in Asia, especially the skin conditioner! It is fragrance free and colour free "miracle water" that helps to calm troubled skin. So far I've been taking well to this new baby added into my skincare regime, and I love the moisturizing effect.

Jimmy Choo fragrance, described as "feminine yet empowering, with a lot of sensuality to it". I love love love this perfume!! So much so I'm nearly using it up within days. Considering buying a bigger bottle to add to my perfume arsenel.

A new product I've never heard of, Twistband! It works like a rubberband, with promises that there'll be no dent marks after use. I used this immediately. Haha and I tied it when my hair is semi dry. Most rubberbands will leave a dent after your hair has dried naturally especially when you tie it on semi dry hair, but guess what! Even after a night of partying there are no traces that I've tied my hair! Hello smooth sleek hair! And it looks yummy on the wrists as well, matchy matchy with colourful beads! But personally I find it kinda pricey, 3 bands for SGD$8. Plus the holding power is so-so if compared to my curly-wurly, so nope, I'll not buy this at original price. Nevertheless, thank you Bellabox for giving me one! And in such a pretty colour too!

Pangea Organics Lip Balm. Having tried all brands of lip balms in earlier days to treat chapped lips, I devoted myself to Vaseline for years as it was the ONLY thing that worked and got my lip shape back. Yeah my dry lips were so dry and chapped I can't make out my lip shape at all ): But all that was history after Vaseline. I'm still using the petroleum jelly up to today. But this pangea organics lip balm is surprisingly moisturizing! And the best part is it sits for a really long time! Plus, it's not sticky at all! I always have that something-is-on-my-lips feeling whenever I use commercial lip balms but this lip balm is so different! Love at first sight is all I can say! And it smells soooooo good! My flavour is lavender and it's reviving smelling it. Secretly ditching my Vaseline for this cos of the scent. :P

Last but not least, Skinmiso pore beauty nose pack! I've not tried this yet as I'm going for facial this thursday, saving this for later days. What's special about this nose pack is that there are two masks and an essence for you to apply after you're done getting rid of nasty black and whiteheads! Can't wait to try this and see if it works! (:

All these products for only SGD$15 a month! SUPER WORTH IT!! But they increased the price to SGD$20 recently if I'm not wrong. But still!! It's so worth it! So many products for this price! The best part is you can cancel the subscription anytime too, so it's pretty much a no strings attached, no obligations subscription! I feel that this is really thoughtful as you can cancel anytime you feel that you're overloaded with too many samples or if you're feeling particularly broke that month. Totally looking forward to my August Bellabox already!~ 

Ending off with a radiant 21 year old Jaslyn! (:

XOXO
