I’m always excited when I receive beauty boxes like these. You never know what’s inside till you open it!
In this month’s trove, we have goodies from Elizabeth Arden and Dr.Ci:Labo! I am also pleasantly surprised to see an issue of Vanity in the box!

I think it’s a great idea to have a mini beauty magazine to update subscribers about the latest trends and it’s the perfect size for the handbag! Also, information about the products on the Trove can be found in the mini mag too!

From Elizabeth Arden, there’s samples from the Visible Whitening range! We have the Smoothing Cleanser(center), Multi-targeted UV Shield BB Cream(left) and the Melanin Control Night Capsules(right). Can’t wait to try these out as I’ve recently got darker from my trips to Legoland and the Adventure Cove Water Park. Best timing to try out this range to see of it works! :p

Then we have Dr.Ci:Labo where we have the improved Aqua-Collagen-Gel(round tub), Super Washing Foam EX, Super Cleansing EX and the BB Perfect Cream White377+. All products are made in Japan and the Aqua-Collagen-Gel is pretty raved in the beauty community. Can’t wait to see what this baby can do to improve my skin!

January and Febuary BellaBox

Today I’m going to show you what I’ve gotten in the Bellabox that I’ve received in Jan and Feb.

It had been a year since I received my very first BellaBox from the kind people there. There have been hits and misses but still, I’m pretty satisfied with the products I’ve received over the time.

Alright, on to the boxes now!
Here’s the content card for Jan box!

And here’s the actual items!

Personally, I like the items in Jan Box. It comes with a variety of items from haircare, skincare, fragrance and beauty tool.

Onto Feb box now!

I’m actually a little disappointed with Feb box. But I’m glad to see a new fragrance sample in the box as I love testing new fragrances.

I think it’s unavoidable that some boxes might not be up to satisfaction but Bellabox do have some awesome boxes. Hopefully March Box would be a better box!

September BellaBox: Out with the Old… In with the New

Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift Sample Vial, Eau de Parfum Spray. Available in 3 sizes from $69 to $109.

L’oreal White Perfect Laser Anti-Spot Brightening Essence. 30ml for $39.90.

Vichy Bi-White Med Deep Corrective Whitening Lotion. 200ml for $49.

OPI Top Coat. 15ml, $22.50.

Rimmel The Max Volume Flash Mascara at $16.90.

The theme behind BellaBox this month is to encourage us to try out new products, new brands. I’m pretty sure most of us will tend to stick to a particular product and not change it. But we all know that our skin condition will change over time? For example, if we are using acne products, it’s time to stop when the acne have stop appearing and maybe switch to whitening or hydrating products. Even for hair products, it’s encourage to change your type of shampoo every three months. XD

So here’s where BellaBox come in, allowing us to try out new products in samples sizes before committing to the full size.

Check out http://bellabox.sg/ now for more information!

P.S: I did note that the Rimmel Mascara that I’ve received was manufactured in July’10 which I believed most had the same problem with the Rimmel products that they have received. In my opinion, it might be error with the distributor side?

This month’s Bellabox might not be spectacular but hopefully it will be better for the coming months! XD Simply because the idea of beauty boxes is really great. :)

Vanity Trove – Watson’s Limited Edition

I love to come out of the room to find parcels that I’m not expecting of the living room table. And indeed a beauty surprise when I saw that it’s a Vanity Trove on the table.

Pulled out the drawer to find a whole lot of samples plus one full sized BB Cream in the trove which is nicely laid with decorative grass.

And I mean it when I said a whole lot. All the samples of products that can be found in Watsons. If I’m not wrong this is the trove that you can get by spending min $60 for members and $80 for non-members at Watsons. And I am told that it’s already sold out, so thanks Vanity Trove for sending me this trove!

As there are way too many products for me to take photos one by one, I decided to just do a short video! Enjoy watching! No you won’t see my face in the video cause I’m too lazy to change out of my Pjs.

XOXO,
Joyce.Forensia
