Question. Did July feel especially long to anyone else? Or is it just me? Because I truly think that this month has dragged on. And I am so ready for August. Before that though, we have a Bellabox to get through first. And this month’s box is something of a mixed bag. Let’s get into it.
AHC LUMINOUS GLOW REAL EYE CREAM FOR FACE – $25.00 for 30ml
AHC is one of Korea’s best selling skincare brands. And a favourite amongst many of my friends. I remember a ton of those friends losing their shit when AHC launched at Priceline a little while ago. And it’s been on my radar for a hot minute. So I’m pretty excited to try this. Especially because I just finished my night eye serum. I shall keep you posted!
YOU CAN GET AHC FROM – Priceline, Look Fantastic, Terry White Chemists
DERMAL THERAPY SENSITIVE SKIN LOTION – $11.99 for 250ml
Allow me to share a fun little anecdote with you all. Every year, around this time of year in Mount Isa, we experience an phenomena called Rodeo Winds. It’s basically a two week period before our town’s rodeo where the temperature plummets and the wind gets very gusty and strong. As you can imagine, my skin is bone dry right now. So, when I saw this in my box, it got cracked open immediately and used by both my mother and myself! This will probably go straight back to work as well.
YOU CAN FIND DERMAL THERAPY AT – Chemist Warehouse
DERMAL THERAPY SENSITIVE SKIN WASH – $11.99 for 250ml
This one, on the other hand, will get used. Just maybe not right now. I have a couple of holidays in the pipeline over the next six months (get excited). So, this will get chucked into my toiletries.

ALLSAINTS LEATHER SKIES EDP – $125.00 for 100ml
AllSaints, we meet again. I do kinda wish I either got a different one that I haven’t already tried. Or Sunset Riot (the Baccarat dupe). Leather Skies is a little too close to Santal 33 for my liking. Which I have since tried and know I do not like. But if you’re a fan of that woodsy, leather forward scent, you may enjoy this.
YOU CAN FIND ALLSAINTS AT – Priceline, The Iconic
CARGO COSMETICS SWIMMABLES EYESHADOW STICK in MORRO BAY – $26.49
I don’t really know where to start with this one. The Swimmables Eyeshadow Sticks was our hero product back in April of 2021. And I’m 99% certain that Cargo, as a brand, doesn’t exist anymore. But considering some of the options I could of had in it’s place, this was the best of a bad bunch. It’s a pretty enough shade. And lord knows I put makeup of a questionable age on my face all the time. But I gotta say, this was a letdown for me.
YOU CAN FIND CARGO COSMETICS AT – I have no idea.
Well, that is a wrap on my July Bellabox. And I am once again asking the question as to whether or not I should keep this subscription going. These boxes are $22.95 per month now. And sure, it’s good content. But for me, it’s becoming too high a price to pay when the products are of dubious age (let’s just say that Cargo’s inclusion wasn’t the only one I was side eyeing). I hope August’s box is an improvement. Because these are getting tough to justify every month. What did you get in your box? Let me know in the comments.
Cheers and love
