23.10.12 BellaBox | October 2012 • Birthday Box
I'm kinda late on this one because I've been trying something that I've been eyeing for but didn't convince myself to purchase it. You'll see! & my letter 'l' is not working on my Macbook Air so I'll have to copy and paste the letter 'l' each time I needed it but let's see what's in October's BellaBox!
9.9.12 BellaBox | September 2012
(Out with the Old...In with the New)
I woke up early today wanting to get this post up for everyone but I am not happy with this month's box and with what happened before I start this post. I went to look back at my old bellabox posts and realized that flickr ate up 2 months worth of pictures and I didn't have any back up. God damn. The old is not always the worst, I still prefer photobucket.
I didn't pay 20 bucks for a mini bean bag. ▲

18.8.12 BellaBox | August 2012 (I love Singapore)
I'm going to be completely honest with you, I'm not a HUGEEEE fan of Singapore but I do like that it is a SUPER strict country. I wouldn't call Singapore a safe country but it's definitely not chaotic. So I don't really like how this month's BellaBox is trying to have 'SG' printed all over. Not sure if it's only for Singapore's BellaBox or Australia's affected too. Nevertheless, I have no complains for this month's box except for the fact that they sent quite a number of skincare product which is what I always say I don't like about beauty boxes. Damn.
I'm terribly sorry, the pictures of this month's bellabox went missing and I have no backup.
Blame fkn flickr.
ENAVOSE PROBIOTICS EXFLOIANCE GOMMAGE
Enavose brings you a gentle and effective way to exfoliate your skin. This gommage leaves your skin feeling softer and helps improve the absorption of your serums and moisturizers. - I really need to start using enavose's stuff.
FACIAL FRESH TREATMENT MASK
Facial Fresh offers a revolution in facial skin care. Each mask delivers specific results in a serum saturated mask; each of which is individually packaged. - can't say much about this because I haven't use it yet.
CLIO PROFESSIONAL SMUDGEPROOF BRUSH LINER KILL SLIM
CLIO gives you the sleekest eyeliner imaginable. Beginners will appreciate the built-in precision of its super slim (0.05mm) and ultra-soft brush, while seasoned liquid eyeliner users will appreciate how quickly it can be applied with a practiced hand. With a water-resistant formula, you can be assured that it will last all day. - it is how it was described (super slim, ultra soft, quickly applied with a practiced hand) but I'm not sure about the lasting time because I only tested it on hand and I must say that I was quite impressed. It dries fairly quick but the downside is that it is not black enough. :/
SKIN79 BB CREAM
Skin79 is the first skincare brand to give Koreans a full range of BB creams. Part moisturizer, part foundation (and so much more), BB creams are taking the cosmetics world by storm and Skin79 has the widest range and variety to suit each age, skin type and skin concern. - I got the hot pink one and I LOVE IT. It smells quite nice for a BB cream, not as nice as Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Liquid Foundation, but it smells better than MOST of the liquid foundations! I would say it's very much like Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Liquid Foundation because it's light, just that this is BB cream and less pricey.
L'OREAL PARIS DERMO-EXPERTISE YOUTH CODE BOOSTING ESSENSE
With just one drop, your skin becomes smoother and softer instantly. Your skin is also able to better absorb the active ingredients in your skincare regime. In a week, your skin texture will improve. In a month, your skin will be rejuvenated, youthful and more radiant. For best results, use before your serum and/or moisturizer. - Smells nice at first then it slowly smelled like those watery glue we use for art during the olden days, the consistency is kinda watery and a bit oily.
CHINA GLAZE NAIL POLISH
It's a nail polish, what's different other than the quality and color? - I said that, the card didn't. Haha. I got the color flip flop fantasy and OMG I love it!!! It dries so damn fast and it's freaking neon pink!!!! I'm so amazed. Wow china glaze, wow.
ELIZABETH ARDEN VISIBLE DIFFERENCE SKINCARE
Leveraging on 100 years of skincare expertise, EA introduces Visible Difference, a spa-inspired, reimen-focused essential skincare line that helps balance skin to reveal its natural health and radiance. - nothing to say about this, haven't tried it!

19.7.12 BellaBox | July 2012 (Around The World)
London: Jimmy Choo Fragrance - Imagine femininity, luxury and style bottled. A floral fruity combination of green top notes with Tea Rose, exotic Tiger Orchid and Cedarwood.
California: Twistbands - Gentle on hair but slips off fairly easily. 3 sets for $6.50, worth? Yes kinda. For the neon and accessorizing!
Japan: SK-II - Not suitable for teenagers because it's too strong for on our skin but SK-II has been loved by many women so...
Korea: Skinmiso Pore Beauty Nose Pack - Get rid of black and whiteheads! In a simple three-step process.
Bonus: BellaBox Lipstick Pen - Bellabox sure is sweet enough to send us a bonus! Without reading the card where they have details about the products they sent, I manage to figure it out that it's a pen after awhile. A lipstick pen that feels smooth when you write and that you can't buy even when you have lots of money? I say yes!
So this is the end of July 2012 BB! Their rate just increased to $18 per month. But so far, looking at this box, I'll say that it's worth. Do leave a comment if you'd like to see any reviews on whichever products from this bellabox post or my 2 previous bellabox posts! Thanks for reading x
7.6.12 BellaBox | June 2012 (Summer Upgrade)
Starting from the top left, to bottom left, jumping to most right. Lastly would be the one in the center.
1. Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate - This multi-award winning, 99.8% naturally derived botanical elixir was formulated to biologically replicate kin's natural lipids for optimal skin repair during the night, waking up to healthier and younger-looking skin.
2. Lancôme Génifique Youth Activator - First Lancôme skincare that revives genes' activity and stimulates the production of youth proteins. It is now clinically proven that the more you use Génifique, the better the results. Takes 7 days to see the results.
3. Lancôme Blanc Expert Derm-crystal - Empowered with Dermactyl complex, dermal cells are stimulated to produce bright new collagen, preventing darkening and reducing melanin production. Skill will be more translucent, luminous and brighter from within.
4. Biotherm Lait Corporel Body Moisturizer - Achieve soft, supple skin with high quality ingredients that prevent dryness and hydrate your skin. Glycerin, olive oil, vitamin E and Pure Thermal Plankton combine for outstanding results.
5. Biotherm White D-Tox BB Cream - 24 hour coverage, unified skin tone, maintains hydration all day long and lets the natural pink undertones of skin shin. With repeated use, dark spots fade and skin simply radiates. Suitable for all skin tones. Bio essence BB cream let me down, definitely going to give this one a try though this smell isn't as nice but it's not as strong as bio essence's.
6. Ralph Lauren Romance - A timeless interpretation of the classic love story; romance embodies the pure and refined feelings of a woman in love. It really smells as described.
7. Shu Uemura White Efficient Gentle Cleansing Oil - Contains natural mito-white complex and vitamin C to help prevent the accumulation of melanin deep within.
8. Kiehl's Calendula Herbal-extract Toner - Made with real Marigold whole flowers and still to this day, hand-picked and placed in each bottle by hand, the Calendula toner remains a customer favorite 5 decades since it was first formulated.
As I said, I'm not a fan of skincare stuff but since BellaBox keep sending me god damn skincare stuff, I guess I got to start using them before they all expire. Have you sign up for BellaBox yet? :)
14.5.12 BellaBox | May 2012
Surprisingly, it is actually not a box this month but a bag with a very nice scent to it, which makes me extremely excited after opening the delivery box! So before I get into details of the things inside, I really want to let everyone know that I am so much happier with the things given this month because I'm not a fan of skincare products, especially when they are not full size. Last month, BellaBox sent me things that I don't use at all (which was quite a waste) but I will get on to using them someday! The best thing in the box last month was J'PAN BEAUTY DRINK (click here for last month's BellaBox) that was super delicious!
1. Enavose Cellogist Youth Guard Cream - A luxurious treatment is what I love. It nourish your skin cells from deep within, boost its natural restorative processes and fight the numerous causes of premature aging and maybe I do not need it now but I'm sure I'll need it someday.
2. Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules - Totally what I am looking for although it is to restore youthful cushion and ageless skin BUT it fades age spots and the look of fine wrinkles. Not that I have scary wrinkles but you know what I mean! These potent and purely intensive single dose capsules deliver breakthrough retexturing results you can see.
3. Essential Damage Care Nuance Airy Shampoo and Conditioner - I can't believe I only know this brand of shampoo and conditioner after so long because this is such a good deal in terms of the pricing! They repair your hair and restore lost shine. Do I have to say more?
4. Macadamia Natural Oil - Again, this is for the most important part of my life, hair. This natural oil is to nourish and rejuvenate for ultra-smooth, manageable and shiny hair! I usually take an hour or at least half an hour to dry my hair but this treatment reduces the drying time by 40-50%.
5. CandyDoll Powder Foundation, Liquid Foundation and Makeup Base - Did I mention that I just don't like Japan makeup brands? Have yet to try any Japan makeup brands' products although I heard a lot of good reviews about them. And now, I heard that CandyDoll's foundation is really good but I've never planned to purchase it to give it a try, and now that I have some of them, I will of course give it a go and I might like them... Who knows? :)
My BellaBox always arrive between the 10th-20th unless of any delays which I will inform everyone through twitter so be sure to follow me there and be sure to check back around middle-ish of each month if you're interested in this monthly subscription beauty box!
