Wow the beauty boxes just keeps coming! It’s been an awesome week! Since I moved to Belgium with just my husband and I don’t know anyone here, I don’t have any friends here at the moment, complicated by the fact that I don’t speak French, so my favourite person here in Belgium right now is my postman. A bit sad but I’m kind of still enjoying the peace and quiet at the moment. Anyway let’s check out what’s in the box!
Elle Magazine*
Another free Elle Magazine! This is so awesome! I hope they keep on giving this magazine – this makes my day because English magazines are so overpriced here in Belgium.
Item 1. Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil | 0.11g
RRP: €23.95/0.34g
Finally there’s a makeup item and from a reputable brand; I rarely purchase Benefit’s products even though I find them ridiculously cute so I am super excited to give this a go.
Item 2. ThisWorks In Transit Camera Close-Up | 20ml
RRP: €38.45/40ml
This is supposed to be a mask, moisturiser and primer in one, with Hyaluronic acid and Starflower oils… not sure how that works, but it will be interesting to try!
Item 3. MiTi Bobbles | 3pcs
RRP: €6.45/3pcs
This came at a perfect time – I’m always in need of more hair ties because I keep leaving them everywhere. This is supposed to not leave a dent and reduce head stress.
Item 4. Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or | 10ml
RRP: €24.45/50ml
A multipurpose dry oil for face, body and hair; I’ve received this tons of times before but I’m always happy to get another bottle. This is one of my favourite body oils, especially in the summer because it leaves behind a really gorgeous glow to the skin.
Item 5. BellaPierre Lip and Cheek Stain in Pink | 5g
RRP: €16.95/5g
As someone who has subscribed to beauty boxes for a long time, I’m really tired of receiving BellaPiere’s products! They’re too overpriced, for both their brand level and product quality. I haven’t tried this out yet as I think I might give it away, but the colour is quite pretty.
Item 6. Kebelo Silk Anti-Frizz Cream Serum | 15ml
RRP: €14.45/30ml
This cream claims to not only smooth hair, but also reduce drying time – I’ll definitely give it a test and see if it’s true as I’m always too lazy to fully blow dry my hair!
I’m pretty happy with this month’s box – finally a good amount of makeup items, with good brands and a nice variety in terms of the product type. If every month was like this, I would totally continue subscribing for a long time.
I only have 2 beauty box subscriptions running at the moment, and right now I have another 2 subscriptions that I’m eyeing and really yearning to get – I’m just not sure if it will be a little too much. What do you think – should I get more?
