Bellabox Singapore: NOVEMBER 2013 BEAUTY RETREAT


Hi everyone! Before I start with the unboxing proper I want to vent out a little first...


I want to say that I was a bit disappointed with this month’s box and how it was delivered to me. Here’s how it all went down: I got an email from Bellabox on 13th Nov telling me that my box will be delivered on the 18th (the following Monday). I waited the whole day of 18th Nov but did not receive my box. I waited the next day and still did not get it. So the following day, 20th Nov, I decided to drop them an email about my box and it was only then that they told me it would be delivered on the 25th (another Monday). I just got a little bit annoyed that I had to even ask. Tsk. I let that go easily.

I then got an SMS from their shipping company informing me of the time schedule of the delivery. I was told it would be between 5PM-8PM. I thought that was fine because my hubby and I would already be home by that time. But NO! At around 12:20PM, I got a call from the delivery staff telling me they’re at our gate and asking if I was home. I said I was not so the girl offered to just leave the box at our gate and asked me to call her when I got it. I was stunned. I didn’t know what to say, so I just answered, “ok” and the line went dead. My hubby and I looked at each other with a “what will happen to the box?” kind of look. I had to check on my housemate to see if he could probably get the box for me. Agh. Hassle!

I mean what’s the point of the delivery time slot we chose on Bellabox website and the time schedule given by the shipping/delivery company if it won’t be followed anyway? Receiving this month’s box was a big hassle for me. I’m now thinking if I’m still gonna continue next month. Sigh.

Alright! Enough of the ranting and let’s start with the unboxing. Here are the items I got:

LYNCACARE MINERAL TRUE COLORS
5ml / S$29.90
Multipurpose cosmetics – our favorites! This silky smooth pigment is your all-in-one makeup color for your lips, eyes, cheeks, nails, hair or body. To be used individually or as an enhancer for other cosmetics.


Initial Reaction: It’s a very subtle highlight color in my opinion. It’s something I might use on (what I’d like to think as) my cheekbones (I really need to go on diet real soon, lol) and on my brow bone. I can also use it on my inner tear ducts to brighten up my eye look.

HEE ETERNITY HYDRO-GEL MASK 24K GOLD+SYN-AKE
3 per box / S$33
Pamper your skin – top to bottom – in 24K pure gold, Syn-Ake and the latest Korean patented beauty technology! Melt hydrogel mask into hot water after use, and sok your hands and feet for a holistic beauty experience!
Initial Reaction: Another mask. End of the story. Hahaha. Seriously, my mask stash is already full!

TWISTBAND HAIR TIES
Set of 3 / S$10.95

Initial Reaction: This is my third time receiving this. No comment.

BELLABOX POUT PENCIL
2.4g / S$17.80
This highly pigmented hot pink lip crayon is enriched with Vitamin E and Beeswax for a smooth and hydrated pout. Tis long-lasting shade is all you need for a classic bella fun time. Pinky promise!

Initial Reaction: I’m a lippie girl so, of course I like it. And I don’t have this color yet in my collection (or maybe I do? Ooops!). It glides on smoothly and it’s not drying on the lips. I need to tone it down though to be more suited for a daytime look.

LIERAC PREMIUM COMPLETE ANTI-AGING 
EXTREME REGENERATING SERUM
30ml / S$258
This extravagant anti-aging serum contains 10% pure hyaluronic acid solution that will help restore and condition your skin back to its former glory. Proven to improve overall skin complexion after 2 weeks with a 99% anti-aging effect after just 1 month.
Initial Reaction: It looks very promising and it is also very expensive for me, hahaha. I looked in the mirror and frowned -  my skin’s former glory? I can’t even remember the day my skin declared war, what more trying to remember how my skin looks in its former glory. I guess that’s how long my skin’s been acting up and I’m beginning to lose hope, hahaha. If this product will work, my pockets might go crazy. Oh well!

BONUS: LIERAC PREMIUM DAY & NIGHT VOLUPTUOUS CREAM
15ml / S$78
Battle aging round the clock with the premium cream! It helps to combat the nasty signs of aging with B-Relaxor complex while enriching your skin’s appearance as the same time with its enriching nutritive complex. Aging is officially a thing of the past! 
Initial Reaction: S$78 for 15 ml?! I will age faster just by looking at the price of this cream, LOL. I’ve tried a few anti-aging creams in the past and I can’t really remember exclaiming in happiness about the results. Or maybe all these anti-aging products are meant for preventive measures? Hmmm…
