I actually received my Bellabox before Christmas but in the crazy rush of things I hadn't had time to post about it. So sorry that this is a bit late, but here's what I got in my December Bellabox.
Another month, another Bellabox
1. Savior Faire Palette in Winter - Full Size Product
2. Allegra Rhodes Hand and Nail Cream in Red Lychee - Sample 5ml
3. Anumi Miracle Recovery - Sample
4. Zipettes - Full size
5. John Frieda Frizz Ease - Sample 30ml
6. Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna - Sample Sachets
Now I usually leave the reviews of the products I receive until the following months, but I was playing around with the palette the other day and thought it would be worth giving you some swatches and first impressions.
Blush - Devoted, Eye shadows - Devout, Spicy, Kinetic, Liberating, Vivacious, Immortal,
Lipgloss - Je t'amie, Eyeliner - Onyx
Lipgloss - Je t'amie, Eyeliner - Onyx, Mascara - Noir Black
The thing that kind of annoys me about this palette is that it retails for $110. This seems grossly overpriced. It would take amazing quality and value for me to drop $110 on one makeup item. The blush is lovely and very pigmented. The eye shadows are nice and soft, and the pigmentation is good. However they do not have the amazing, luxurious, buttery texture of other high end eye shadows I own (cough cough Urban Decay, bareMinerals). The lipgloss formula is really lovely. The shade is quite a translucent nude shade and it tastes lovely. I would certainly buy a full size lip gloss in this formula if it wasn't too overpriced. The mascara is my least favourite wand shape ever but I haven't used it yet. The eye liner is rather crap. I need something with staying power, and after I had let this eyeliner set on my arm for 10 minutes, I was still able to smudge is easily with my finger, as seen below.
Nope.
Overall I applaud Bellabox for including a palette as a Christmas gift to their subscribers, I am just skeptical over whether anyone should or would pay $110 for this palette.
Now for the November reviews!
1. Skinmiso Nose Pore Pack - Didn't see much being done here, would not repurchase.
2. Palmolive Strawberry Smoother Exfoliating Body Wash - Delicous smelling, lovely stuff. Would buy!
3. Bioderma Crealine H20 - Oh my goodness, new holy grail makeup remover. I don't think I can ever go back! LOVE!!!!! Will repurchase till the end of time.
4. 4me Nail Polish Remover Pads - Amazing little product, I have already repurchased 2 more packs off the Bellabox store. Wish we could get them in stores.
5. Bloom Glitter Liquid Eyeliner - I thought this looked really nice but when I applied it it went all over my eyelid and made a huge mess. Was not a fan, would not repurchase.
6. John Plunkett Essentials Anti Aging Moisturiser - Would not use, contains mineral oil.
7. Swisse Hand Cream - For me hand cream is all about the smell and this just didn't do it for me.

I got the same winter palette! I love it and I was happy to receive something worth $110 in my bellabox but yes, I too ponder over why it's actually even priced at $110 in the first place!
ReplyDeleteYep it was a wonderful gift to receive, I love Bellabox!

wow that palette sure is generous to give away, especially at that price! There are plenty of other similar palettes on the market for a better price so it doesn't really make sense haha.
ReplyDelete$110 is too much. Maybe for Chanel or something but anyone else I don't think the luxury or quality is there for me.
DeleteYeah I agree, I have the summer palette and its a good gift in a samples box, but I wouldn't pay much for it. Most shades I won't wear, the blush is brown, and the lipgloss and eyeliner seem a bit cheap... And I haven't tried the mascara. Great bonus, but it doesn't sell the brand for me.
ReplyDeleteYep, pretty much my thoughts exactly.
DeleteIt's great that you got such an expensive palette in the box (though it does sound overpriced!)... the lip gloss looks amazing! I love Bioderma too!!
ReplyDeleteBioderma is amazingggg but it's so hard to get here!
Deletex
Looks like a nice palette but after converting it into pounds, not £110 worth. I'm in France until Sunday where bioderma is pretty cheap. Do you want me to pick you up a couple of bottles and ship them? Let me know lipstickergosum@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteThat would be amazing Gaelle! I have emailed you x
DeleteLove the eyeshadow palette... the shades are fab!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and love it :) Following you now! Follow back if you like my blog!

I cannot agree with you more about the palette! It is a lovely palette, but to retail for $110 is a little steep. I probably won't even be able to drop $110 on Chanel make-up let alone this palette. Oh and I LOVED what you said about Bioderma, haha made me giggle a little and I agree with you as well definitely HG material :) x
ReplyDeleteYep yep yep!!!
Deletex
Yeah, I wouldn't pay $110 either. I got the other palette. It's a nice box with a lovely big mirror... but not worth $110. Still, all that for $15, who is complaining!
ReplyDeleteExactly ;)
Deletex
oh the palette looks great!! but I agree, I don't think it's worth the $110.. T.T
ReplyDeletebut $15 for the box is a good price!! :D
I think bellabox is fantastic value!
DeleteI unsubscribed from Bellabox a couple of months ago and thought I would feel like I was missing out, but after seeing what's in the last two boxes I can't say I'm too disappointed...
ReplyDeleteI concur with that sentiment hun!

Thanks Kat!

Glad you're converted to Bioderma - welcome to the fan club! ;) I agree with what you and other bloggers have said about the palette being "worth" $110 - that just seems outright ridiculous! The shadows look nicely pigmented and soft though.
ReplyDeleteI know right! And bioderma is freaking amazing!
Deletex
Got the same stuff as you in my Bellabox. I would not pay $110 for the palette. I think savoir faire is grossly overpriced to begin with.
ReplyDeleteYep I hear you there!
Deletex
That's a very nice palette! But $110 for that is way too much ahahaha, I'd rather stick to paying for a nice Urban Decay palette.

Lúc này, đế quốc cửu cấp ma thú Khố Lạp Kì từ bên ngoài đi vào,
- Buổi tối khi bệ hạ bị Bố Khoa Duy Kì bắt giữ, bệ hạ từng nói với ta
đây là nếu bệ hạ có phát sinh gì ngoài ý muốn, mà ta đây chạy thoát ra
ngoài, kêu ta đây đi tìm Đoạn Vân đại nhân, cũng bảo ta đây ủng hộ hắn
đăng thượng đế vị. Ta đây có thể dùng sinh mạng cam đoan, việc này tuyệt
đối là thật.
Khố Lạp Kì nói, giống như quả bom nổ tung giữa các đại thần đế quốc. Sự
tình như vậy thì Đoạn Vân cũng quả thật không ngờ tới. Tra Lí cho mình
làm Thiên Long hoàng đế? Nếu việc này do người khác nói ra thì hắn tuyệt
đối không tin, nhưng Khố Lạp Kì là một ma thú vô cùng trung thực. Đã hắn
nói như vậy thì việc đó hẳn phải như vậy. Xem ra Tra Lí cũng xem trọng
mình ra phết.
- Bất quá bệ hạ có một điều kiện, hắn nói Đoạn Vân đại nhân sau khi nhận
chức quốc chủ, nhất định phải lấy vài vị công chúa.
Khố Lạp Kì nói tiếp.
- Vài vị công chúa?
Đoạn Vân hỏi nghi hoặc.
