Dear reader, you find me in something in a conundrum with this months box. On the one hand, I received a whopping 7 products this month. Three of which are actually full size! On the other hand, I can’t really say that this month’s box is a true ‘first impressions’. Why is that? Because I’ve literally been sent half of this box before!
So yeah, there are a ton of repeats in this month’s box. Luckily, that means I can add a bit more meat into this post. So, let’s chat about what I got.
BASIC BEAUTY BLUSH in BLUSHING BELLA – $18.00USD
We got a choice of two hero products this month. Both of which were hero products from previous month’s boxes. The first was a BellaPierre eye shadow palette that I ended up giving to my niece at the time. The other was this Basic Beauty blush. I ended up going with the blush because it is a gorgeous shade and I do use it often. But having said that, I probably won’t go through a blush in my lifetime. So, I’ll keep using the the blush I already have (pictured above). And I’ll save the one I got this month for a future giveaway.

MOOGOO BAKUCHIOL NATURAL RETINOL SUBSTITUTE ACTIVE SERUM – $36.95 for 25ml
One of the few non repeats (though having said that, I think we were meant to get this last month). I stand by what I said about MooGoo last month. With the addendum that if I wanted to use a retinol, I’d use an actual retinol.

DERMAL THERAPY HEEL BALM PLATINUM – $14.99 for 75g
Out of all of the repeats I got this month, this is the one that I’m the most happy to have gotten. This stuff is actually fabulous for my cracked heels. And I do use this in my routine already. Glad to have another one for the upcoming winter season.

NATIO DAILY DEFENSE FACE MOISTURISER SPF 50+ – $19.95 for 100ml
Yeah, there is no reality where I turn down sunscreen. And from what I remember, this one from Natio is actually lovely. It provides UVA and UVB protections and it’s so moisturising on the skin.

THE BODY SHOP GINGER SCALP CARE SHAMPOO – $18.00 for 250ml
This one should have appeared in my August 2022 empties! You see, I took it to Townsville with me and I forgot to take the empty bottle home. From what I remember, this was ok. I don’t usually have an issue with dryness with my scalp. Mostly because Mount Isa water is as hard as a rock. So build up is my bigger issue. I’ll use this again for sure.

STYLONDON HYDRATING MOUSSE MATTE LIPSTICK in PINK PEONY – $15.00
We got two bonus products this month! The first was this lipstick from StyLondon. That I got for the first time back in 2019! Yeah, I have since decluttered that one. I’ll probably hold onto this lippie for one of my nieces. The shade is lovely, but I’m just not into matte lipsticks anymore.

And finally, we got this little Bellabox pouch. It’s cute. But I’ll pass this along too because I need another little baggie like I need a hole in the head!.
And that is a wrap on my March Box. Sorry if I seem a little negative. But it is a little disheartening to get that many repeats in the same box. However, if the April sneak peek is anything to go by, it might be their way of apologizing. Because I am so freaking excited for it! As always, let me know what you got in you box down below!
Cheers and love
