Beauty Box Subscriptions!

Before I started to learn about all this here beauty stuff I knew nothing about these great little subscriptions which showcase new or existing products by sending a small batch of sample (or full-sized!!) products to your door each month.

Wow what a great idea!  So I subscribed to two Australian ones.

Bellabox and Lust Have It.

November was when I received my first boxes.  LHI managed to squeak in on the 28th November and Bellabox got to me on I think the 3rd December.  Anyway here's what I got!

Bellabox



So BB came in a blue outer box (I threw it out before these pics) and inside had the items in a yellow pillow style box.   The packaging was kind of flimsy and feedback on their Facebook page indicated a lot of people had missing items as they fell out of the packaging (or the packaging was ripped open easily).  Fortunately my package arrived unscathed and in good condition.

I put a picture of the insert card above for you all to have a read.  So far I have only used the eye makeup mistake eraser pen from this box, it works SO well.  I will use the other items and feedback as I go along.

This box is AU$15 per month including postage and handling.  I think it was a reasonable effort for products, I never would have bought any of the included items on my own.

Lust Have It







So the LHI box came in a plastic Australia Post satchel.  The box itself is beautiful.  Reusable with magnetic closure and thick cardboard construction.  Very nice!

When I opened it there was black tissue paper wrapping!  Nice touch!  The box was stacked FULL of items.  A lot of them from Mary Kay, they must have been the main contributor this month.  The Toiletry/Makeup bag is pretty.  There also was a pumice stone/scrub brush for feet, mascara, perfume samples etc etc.  You can read the card.   :)  I haven't used any of these items yet but will feedback when I do.  This box is AU$25 per month including postage and handling.

I think that I will get use out of all of these items, and for a first box I am happy with what I received.  Do you subscribe to beauty boxes?  How does LHI and BB compare to yours?
