Bellabox November-January Spoilers, Reviews, First impressions... AND MY HUGE SUPER-LONG FOLLOW-UP!

Hi everyone!

Long time no blog!

I actually have quite a massive backlog of blogging to do, but this is probably the most pressing because my view on Bellabox has been so rapidly changing ever since I first subscribed in November that I feel like I should write a substantial post.

My video on my first Bellabox in November was not uploaded because they were missing a spoiler item (the coastal scents palette) and I wanted to give them a chance for their customer service to send me the item. So I called them up, and the customer service person was very nice and said he'd send me the palette and some extra goodies too. Seemed like a good solution!

The contents of my November box!

However, shipping was very slow - about a week after the call I had to leave for Japan. When I came back, I had this from Bellabox..



Really not impressed! Whatever that tube was, it was punctured and had no product left, the blister really is extremely meh because I rarely ever get blisters (and it's not really a beauty item, so why would anyone be particularly interested tbh?), and the only thing that survived was the eye mask which I actually am sort of happy to get... But where is the palette?!

I DON'T KNOW. But the state of that envelope... I don't think the palette would have survived anyway...

Anyway, so I considered calling customer service again, but I came back from my trip in January and I would feel silly about calling about a December box - why would they have any palettes left anyway?

Soon after I unboxed my December Bellabox...






I felt quite meh about this box honestly - I wanted to try the Enbacci stuff but my backlog of moisturisers and essences (from memebox mostly) was so extensive that I still hadn't gotten around to it... So up until today I still have touched none of the products. At least the December box I tried out the Appelles set, Nuxe oil and Palmers oil!


THEN COMES JANUARY.

What a game-changing month for my Bellabox career!

I thought it marked the month I unsubscribed, but boy was I wrong.



Here was my first impressions - I thought I would use nothing from this box, the pouch was tacky, the lip colour was meh, the samples were meh... The only thing I would use was the tea which was $12 of value, and that doesn't make up for the $15 I paid for it...

And then I tried the tea. Wow. I loved the flavour, I loved how the morning tea made me feel energised in the morning and the night time tea made me feel relaxed and calm. I loved how it actually felt like it was motivating me to feel healthy.

I soon realised that six days of this stuff wouldn't be enough and I wanted more of it!

So then I went to the Bellabox Australian Swap community I joined back in November when I was (in denial about not getting a fuse nail kit) and posted up the items I had left from November-January to swap for more teatox... within a few hours, I have two swaps arranged for two items I wouldn't have used, and all I'm paying is $8 each in shipping for twelve more days of teatox! I think considering the 14 day is $29.90, I didn't get a bad deal at all :)

I've always been envious of those located in the US for this reason... It's so much easier for your subscription services to be worth it to you with just one product you like ^^ ~ And for this reason I'm going to be staying subscribed to Bellabox! At least for another month. I'm very bad at unsubscribing I know I've said it every month since I've first gotten the box...

But finally a huge wall of text that accurately summarises all the feelings I've ever had about Bellabox. :)

And about the SkinnyMint Teatox... I will post a full review on that once I've finished the full 28 days (which I should be getting no problem at the rate my trades are going! Hoorah!) I don't really care for the detox part, I honestly just enjoy the taste a lot more than other teas I've tried, but I weighed in because I know people will be curious about the results! I honestly don't expect the tea to do anything though.

Happy to answer any more questions you guys have about Bellabox! Hopefully February marks the month where my opinions on Bellabox get a bit more stable, :)

MEMEBOX POSTS WILL COME SOON I SWEAR sorry guys!

xoxo

athy ~ ^^
