This is my second Bellabox and thanks to the cruelty-free brands included, I (mainly) avoided the downward spiral of despair I experienced when I opened this month’s Lust Have It box (The only product I’m not sure about is the Star & Rose Confetti Soap Rose, because I couldn’t find any information about the brand’s animal testing status online.)

Weighing in at just over twenty dollars value, this month’s box has the lowest dollar value of any box I’ve received from any company so far. I’m not particularly disappointed, though: I’ve already got a small sample of the Sasy N Savy Hand N Nail Repair Creme in Rose Lavender and I like it (rose phase, remember), I’m super-interested in the Emergen-C Vitality Mask, and on first swatch I like the sheer, shimmery rose-champagne and olive-khaki B by Bloom Col.lecta Colour Eyeshadow Duo in Waikiki.

The Sanctum Body Soothe is quite literally a hotel toiletry, though. I distinctly remember stuffing an identical tube into my carry-on before I checked out of a hotel in Melbourne late last year. Not so good. And the Star & Rose Confetti Soap Rose is sort of… nineties, somehow. What I even mean by that, I don’t know.
