Unboxing my Bellabox #bbSummerFresh Prize


I'm just a happy girl today! Thanks Bellabox! Didn't expect I would received my prize so soon.

Here are the things I got:



LUXE

I'm not a traveler because I don't have the luxury to travel from places to places. But for some reason I was thrilled to received a Luxe City Guide to Phuket as one of the prizes I've won from Bellabox Asia #bbSummerFresh. I may not be familiar with Thailand's Cities but it is one of the places I've been wanting to visit outside Philippines. (Maybe someday my husband and I will be able to go there when the kids are old enough to leave them or bring them along with us.) 


The Luxe City Guide to Phuket however, gave me an idea on how, when and where to visit the Island. It also has the list of places like shopping malls, restos, hotels and all that are there in Phuket, as well as the list of what you need and what you don't. A great guide indeed for travelers/adventurers. So If you wish to travel to other places, Luxe is a very helpful tool to guide you on your journey to places you wish to visit.

Bellabox Pout Pencil in Pinky Promise

Product Details:
"A highly pigmented lip crayon in a stunning shade of hot pink, this is your go-to lip pencil for any lippie crisis! Enriched with vitamin E and beeswax, this nourishing formula hydrates your sugar lips, giving it a long-lasting pink finish."


I really really like the shade I got and the fact that it hydrates my lips. It is indeed great and cool to wear for summer because of its vibrant color. Although summer is over here in Philippines I would still want to wear this for everyday use not only because of its nourishing formula but because I love how good it looks on me. Haha.


Twistband

I've been wanting to get one of this ever since I saw this on one of Michelle Phan's videos, but I have no clues where to get one here in Philippines. That's why I'm so very happy and lucky to received this as one of the prizes I got! I wish Bellabox Philippines would open very soon and sell this stuff here so I could collect more of this.



Teaism

I love teas because of its soothing effect and how it relaxes my body. I have my favorite teas but I'm always willing to try new teas on my cup. Can't wait to try and dip-stir-enjoy this new kind of tea wand in Ginger Black Tea (for comfort) and Green Tea (for balance).

Product Details:
"Featuring delicious and healthy tea for people on the go. An epitome of convenience it is available in a disposable wand. All you need to do is drop the wand into a hot cup of water. Each disposable wand contains high-grade loose tea leaves and is made of FDA-approved aluminium wand." 

Available in:
- Ginger Black Tea (for comfort), 
- Green Tea (for balance), 
- Fancy Black Tea (for energy), 
- Blueberry Tea (for protection) and 
- Osmanthus Oolong Tea (for restoration).




Indio Spot Defy Pigmentation Serum

Of all the prizes included I think this is the most expensive one amongst them. It's not currently available in Bellabox Asia though so I'm not sure how much this is but in Bellabox.com.au this costs AU$78. I can't seem to find some reviews regarding this product but I'm still as excited as bee to try it on and see if it will do wonders on my dark spots, especially those dark circles under my eyes.

Product Details:
"Indio Spot Defy is a skin treatment formulated to even out skin tone, reduce the appearance of age spots and sun damage, while fighting free radical damage. The treatment has been formulated with chamomile flower and green tea extract to soothe the skin, while vitamins E and C act as natural antioxidants with skin-lightening effects."

Lemongrass House Shower Gel in Lemongrass

The fact that this is a paraben and sulfate-free, made with all natural ingredients and preservatives, and scented with essential oils not artificial fragrance this product is a plus for me. The smell however isn't as pleasing as I wish it could be, for me at least, maybe because of its all natural ingredients and no artificial fragrance.

Product Details:
"Pamper your skin and awaken the senses with Lemongrass House All-Natural Shower Gels. Made with infusions of skin-loving botanical extracts such as green tea and sea kelp to moisturize and soften, refreshing cucumber, and topped with softening aloe vera and glycerin, this vegetable-based concoction will cleanse your body without overdrying.

Lemongrass House Shower Gels produce tons of fun lather without the use of harming sulfates, and uses a gentle grapefruit based preservative for your safety. All shower gels are scented with fragrant essential oils such as Jasmine, Chamomile and Ylang Ylang to suit any personal taste. A little gel goes a long way!"

Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo

Whenever I have an early morning errands and know for sure that I won't be able to to do all the beauty stuff (make-up and hair) so early in the morning, I would just shower at night and blow dry my hair. That is so in the morning when I wake up I would just cleanse my body then Iron style my hair. Problem is, if I would take up the whole day without shampooing, my hair would get oily and sticky. This is when I would want to try this dry shampoo I got. This might be the answer to my problem. So excited over this product.

Product Details:
"Flip that gorgeous hair and radiate your best Caribbean goddess look with Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo! It contains a starch-based formulation that cleanses just like a shampoo, but without the water, the blow-dry hassle and more. It pumps up your hair and gives it visible texture, while its limited edition Coconut scent leaves you smelling like a tropical dream!"


Skinlite Intensive Nourish and Color Protect Hair Treatment

Product Details:
"An easy, two-step hair treatment that protects the vibrance of color-treated tresses

Step 1: Nourish & Color-Protect Hair Mask
- Restores radiance to hair weakened by coloring, bleaching, and perming
- Defines shape and spring of curls
- Enriched with a blend of lavender, rosemary, chamomile, and sage leaf extracts
Step 2: Hair Protecting Serum
- Controls frizz, increases shine, and prevents hair damage caused by styling
- Laced with camellia japonica seed oil, mineral oil, and Vitamin E"

And lastly...


Bellabox Tote Bag

All in all, the prizes makes me a really happy happy lady. I could see myself using all of them. That is why I just couldn't wait for Bellabox Philippines to open very soon so I could subscribe for their monthly box. I know for sure they give great surprises for their subscribers. Just can't wait for my first unboxing experience with their monthly subscriptions. Once again thanks Bellabox Asia and #bbSummerFresh. :)

Ravioli

Ravioli has been my all-time favorite restaurant since a friend brought me to this place back in 2010. I love Ravioli and every thing in the menu are my favorites. Although they offer only a number or limited meals (even at Ravioli Bistro) at least they made it sure that everything will be favorited by their customers. Everything were made fresh which made everything taste so good!

Below are three of their meals that you may want to try whenever you wish to visit Ravioli: Creamy Ceasar Salad, Grilled Foccacia with Spinach Dip, and Mozarella Mushroom Ravioli.
