Bellabox Singapore: NOVEMBER 2013 BEAUTY RETREAT
1:00 AM
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…

There you have it girls! Did you like any of the items I got? I like the
lippie and I’m interested to try the expensive serum. How about you? Let me
know in the comments

ReplyDeleteYou mentioned that you were intrested in the revlon lipsticks/stain on my blog and I wanted to tell you that the bella box lip pencil looks kinda similar to the revlon lip product!
I personally really want to try the anti aging product!!

I think the anti-aging products are better if they are used as preventative measure. That's just my opinion though. I believe, wrinkles, esp those smile lines, are actually good. haha. They are the proofs that you've lived a good happy joyful life. :)
ReplyDeleteI like it when you put it that way, hahaha. <3
Deletei think they should betterv improve their delivery system so that recipients will receive their package without hassles

I've tried several times already but it still doesn't allow me. I went back to your blog thrice already but still the same thing. I'll try again later or tomorrow. Thanks! <3
