Well, Valentine’s Day was over a week ago. Fortunately, Bellabox remembered my gift! That’s right, it’s Bellabox time once again. This month is all about love. So, let’s see if I love what I got!
LARUCE SHADOW LR110 BRUSH – $28.00USD
Our hero product for this month’s box, we all got to choose from one of three makeup brushes from the brand Laruce (yes, it’s new to me too). Out of the three that were available, I went with the shadow brush. And now having held it and felt it, I do not regret a thing. First of all, super soft! Just so soft. But the other thing I like about it is how dense it is. With the mask mandates still in place, I’ve really been loving just using a single shadow on my lid (stay tuned to my favourites next week to find out which one). And a brush like this is excellent for packing that colour on. I was taken aback somewhat when I saw the price ($40ish in Australian currency). So, here’s hoping it’s worth it.

EYE OF HORUS SEVEN SEED SACRED OIL – $85.00
I saw a few of my fellow bloggers get this in PR recently and it’s been getting a ton of positive buzz. It’s a blend of several different types of ancient seeds like Moringa, Nigella, Marula, Hemp. Very excited to try it!

CERAVE HYDRATING CREAM-TO-FOAM CLEANSER – $19.99
By far, the product I’m most excited for. My affection for the OG Hydrating cleanser is well documented here on emmiesbeautylife.com. But I have never gotten around to trying the cream to foam version. This has all of the good ceramides that my skin loves, but it won’t leave my skin super stripped like a lot of old school foaming cleansers can do. I have also heard that this is slightly better for oilier skin, so I might have to try it before winter sets in.
YOU CAN FIND CERAVE AT – Chemist Warehouse
KLORANE PEONY SHAMPOO – $14.99-$19.99
I’ve so far had mixed success with Klorane as a brand. Their dry shampoo is ok, I do enjoy it. But their shampoo’s and conditioner’s have left me underwhelmed at best. The main thing this has going for it is that it does smell amazing (Peonies are my favourite flower). But I suspect that this will get used as a body wash.

ESSENCE DRAW THE LINE! INSTANT COLOUR EYELINER in CATCH UP RED – $3.00
We all also got a lip liner from Essence in this month’s box! I haven’t used a lip liner from Essence in years. But I was there back in 2015 when Tati Westbrook was praising the old school pencil version. So, naturally, I’ve tried almost all of them. I believe this is a newer formula to their line and lord knows I could use a new red liner. So, stay tuned for my thoughts.
YOU CAN FIND ESSENCE AT – Target Australia
L’OREAL AGE PERFECT MIDNIGHT SERUM – $59.95
Finally, another month, another L’Oreal sample. I really should get around to using all of these. I haven’t heard much about this. I think it’s new. But I shall try it!
YOU CAN FIND L’OREAL AT – Priceline, Chemist Wasrehouse, Woolworths, Coles
And that is that for my February Bellabox! Again, this was a really good month with all of the products being ones that I will use in one way or another. What did you get in your box? I saw that there were a few options going around.
Cheers and love
