The male version of BellaBox will apparently be sent out quarterly rather than monthly like the female version and costs $30 per box. I was super impressed with the first box which I actually received about a week ago and opened it ever so gently to sneak a peek prior to wrapping it for my husband. Of course I couldn't let you guys know about the contents until he'd opened it himself though so I had to keep it all hush hush until now.
The December BellaBox for me is a black box and is about double to size as the regular one. This is of course to cater for the fact there will be more samples included due to it being a quarterly rather than monthly box.
And here is the impressive amount of products that were included this month:
The list includes:
1) A'Kin Pureman Visibly Fit 24 Hour Moisturiser (50ml, RRP $24.95)
2) Kosmea Rescue Balm (50ml, RRP $29.95)
3) Milk Scrub & Cleansing Wipes (25 pack, RRP $14.95)
4) One Skin System Active C Scrub and Renewal Cleanse (Scrub 15gms, RRP $69.00 for 60gms, Renewal Cleanse 10ml, RRP $39.00 for 50mls)
5) Kenzo Power Fragrance and After Shave Balm (Fragrance 1.5ml sample, RRP $130.00 for 125ml, After Shave Balm 75ml, I'm unable to find a RRP for this anywhere)
6) Avene Shave Foam (50ml, RRP $22.95 for 200mls)
7) American Crew Citrus Mint Shampoo, Conditioner and Shave Gel (1 x 7.4ml sample sachet of each, RRP $22.95 for 250mls for Shampoo/Conditioner, RRP $24.95 for 150mls for the Shave Gel)
8) Sanctum Men's Shave Gel (5gm sachet, RRP $17.95 for 50mls)
9) Phytomer Globalpur Detoxifying Cleansing Gel (5mls sample, RRP $42.00 for 150mls)
10) Baxter of California Daily Face Wash (5ml sample, unsure of RRP)
11) Erborian Ginseng Infusion Total Eye Treatment (1.5ml sample, unsure of RRP)
So, as you can see it was a bumper first box which was well over the $30 price to subscribe.
My poor husband was a little overwhelmed when he opened it though as he has no idea how to use half of the products. I think he's also a bit scared and doesn't know where to start. So funny! I think I've got a bit of teaching to do over the next couple of months.
I'm definitely going to keep this subscription going and hope that the next box is just as good.
What does everyone think of the male version of BellaBox? Did anyone else subscribe to it too?
I have seen some impressive reviews for the various sample boxes from different companies that have been introduced here this year and I must admit they look tempting. Unfortunately my budget won't allow me to indulge in anything bar essentials so these luxuries are out for me atm :-/ Am interested to see if the boxes remain to be as impressive as time goes on and if they continue to be such good value :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I am venturing to your blog today to let you know that I have nominated you for a Liebster Blog Award, follow this link for the details - http://melmeko.blogspot.com/2011/12/liebster-blog-award.html :) :) :)
Wow, thanks for the nomination! I'll head over and check it out now!
ReplyDeleteI'm only really impressed with two of all the sample boxes, Lust Have It and BellaBox. None of the others have really grabbed me. I figure the $30 a month I'll spend on these is a lot less than what I'd waste on other products anyway so I'll stay subscribed for now. If they start to taper off on quality, then I'll cancel.
