Bella Box Feb 2013
14 Feb
Well it looks as though Bella Box is my Valentine, because this little treat arrived on my doorstop thisafternoon!
So what’s in the box..
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Polish in “Shoot the Moon”
This was my favourite item this month, I LOVE Sally Hansen polishes, their formula is great & it dries quickly. They are also a very generous size so you don’t need to worry about running out for a longg time! I don’t normally wear a lot of metallic colours but this one is gorgeous, it’s a striking pewter grey metallic shade with a hint of gold to it.
RRP $14.95
Naturalus Natural Paw Paw Ointment
It looks like there is a new Paw Paw cream on the market, I have just applied this too much lips and it’s very hydrating and has a bit of a scent to it which you don’t normally get with Paw Paw ointments.
RRP $5.95 30g (7 g sample)
John Frieda Sheer Blonde Colour Renew
Hmm… I don’t have a problem with John Frieda but I also don’t have blonde hair. Bella Box does ask you questions about hair type/colour when signing up so it’s a little bit odd that they would send this product out to those with dark hair. Maybe one day I’ll decide to go blonde?
RRP $17.99 for 250ml (samples are 45ml)
U Skin Solutions Nourishing Cleansing Milk
This product smells amazing, it’s a mix of sandalwood & lilly pilly & it looks interesting! I haven’t tried U Skin Solutions before so I am keen to give it a go!
RRP $32.95 for 125ml
Batiste Dry Shampoo
I saw this in the box & was actually hoping it may of been one of their new scents – they just released a cherry one! I love this dry shampoo & it is a good size to keep stashed away for emergencies (I have one in the glovebox of my car!)
RRP $9.95
Gatineau Aquamemory Moisture Replenishing Cream
Lastly we have this Moisturiser from Gatineau is super hydrating, with a lovely fresh scent to it. Suitable for dehydrated skin I’ll certainly put it to the test!
RRP $104 50ml
SO that was the Valentines Bella Box! What did you think of the products? Apart from the blonde products which were a bit of a fumble on the part of BB the rest was pretty good and i can’t wait to get stuck into the nailpolish!
Nice bunch of goodies you got there in your Bellabox! I think the Sally Hansen nail polish in Shoot the Moon looks the most enticing to me! I’m no longer a Bellabox subscriber unfortunately…
I know.. I feel like I could possibly see all the boxes, pick out my favourite product if I see something new & interesting and buy it and i’d possibly save money in the long run.. ahh too many choices! Are you signed up to any other boxes now? x
I got the exact same box and although I’m not keeping my subscription, I was happy with what I got this month. As for the blonde shampoo, this stuff has very little pigment so you can use it on brown hair if you wish (I have before).

I’m thinking I may need to cancel it soon.. I have too many things & just signed up to her fashion box!! Thanks for the tip on the blonde shampoo, but my hair is dyed red so I need to use a colour depositing shampoo for it to keep it vibrant and I think this would possibly defeat the purpose!

I received the very same box. I do have (fake) blonde so its perfect for me. I gave away the dry shampoo – I find that stuff a bit freaky. I prefer this box to the other one I have seen (with the eyeliner and nail stickers) — we did well this month. I do hate how we dont all receive the same thing though.
Mine box was a little different…I got a pretty Sally Hansen glitter polish instead, called Mermaid’s Tale, and instead of the John Frieda stuff, paw paw ointment & Gatineau products, I got John Frieda Frizz-Ease & Nuxe Huike Prodigeuse which is a French ‘Multi-purpose’ product for face, body & hair..it’s some kind of oil…not sure how to use it really.
Does anyone know if you can use the Batiste on dark/black hair?
Hi Megs! I have seen the shade Mermaid’s Tale it is one of the brand new ones and I quite like it – although I don’t usually wear those chunky glitter polishes.
Nuxe is a fabulous brand, it is an oil which is similar to a moisturiser on skin leaving a smooth glowy look (they have a shimmer version as well) but can also work to soften your face, or in the hair as something similar to a leave in treatment. Think similar to Argan oil which can be used in hair and on skin.
The Bastiste that came in your BB I probably would not recommend for dark hair, it comes out very white (there is a dark version available) so in black hair could leave a bit of residue – Maybe try it right before washing your hair to see how you go with it and you can always wash it out if it’s no good! Hope this helps & thanks so much for reading xx
