Bellabox June 2015
Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm Tube
While I've tried face masks and nail treatments from Burt's Bees, I have never actually tried any of their famous lip treatments. 100% natural, cruelty free and packed full of Vitamin E and Peppermint Oil this lip balm is incredibly thick and soothing on the lips. When Bellabox arrived on my doorstep this morning, I applied this balm to my lips immediately before leaving to run errands for the day (hello post office) and it lasted ALL DAY. Even when I was outside going for a walk, this stayed on and protected against the harsh winter winds. I get really dry and flaky lips in winter and this completed combatted that and kept my lips plump and hydrated for the entire day. This is definitely a must have for any person at any age. My cat also really liked this lip balm and tried to bite the top off when I was winding it. So cats also approve. 10 out of 10 tins of Fancy Feast. Full Size $6.95
Universal Beauty Cosmetics Tint Stick
I've never heard of this brand before but thanks to Bellabox I'm now completely obsessed! I received the bright fuchsia pink shade and the colour pay off on it is amazing, so pigmented and really long lasting. Universal Beauty are also cruelty free which really excites me. I'm loving all the amazing cruelty free beauty brands at the moment, the beauty industry is finally embracing and respecting our furry friends. Full Size $19.99
Original Source Skin Quench in Watermelon and Jojoba Oil
Original Source is my favourite brand for body washes and there is always one in my shower. At the moment I'm using the Raspberry and Vanilla scent but I can see this one becoming my new favourite. This smells exactly like fresh summer watermelon and with nourishing Jojoba oil it is perfect for use in the winter time. Original Source are cruelty free, vegan, budget friendly and something that should be in your shower too! Full Size $4.99
Ivadore Tanning Treatment
This tan is organic and packed full of antioxidants and other nourishing wonders to deliver a tan that keeps skin happy and healthy while still glowing. Ivadore is also vegan and cruelty free. I don't tan so I will pass this along to a friend who does because even though this is a sample, at full size the Ivadore Tanning Treatment retails at $55. So it's a great thing to try without a heavy price commitment. Sample Size
ModelCo Exfoliating and Cleansing All Natural Facial Wipes
This is such an interesting concept that I was really excited to try. I used these when I got home to remove my makeup and was so impressed. One side of the wipe is a smooth cleanser to get rid of makeup, while the other has gentle little bumps to buff away dead skin and unclog pores to get rid of any leftover makeup. I was actually surprised at how much I actually loved these, especially the exfoliating side which I was initially really wary of. After my skin was left feeling soft smooth and incredibly clean. These did an amazing job, I'm so impressed. ModelCo is also cruelty free, so if you're after some great wipes that are also cruelty free and can multitask these are the ones you should pick up.

BONUS
Palmolive Naturals Active Nourishment Shampoo & Conditioner
Oh Bellabox you almost had a perfect box full of great cruelty free products until you popped these shampoo and conditioner samples in. Even though Palmolive states this is their 'Naturals' collection and is packed full of ingredients like coco cream, keratin extract, argan oil and shea butter extract, but Palmolive still test on animals which is a no go for me. I'll still use these up so I'm not wasteful but I wont be purchasing this full size. Sample Size
OUT TAKES
This is what happens when you try to take photos for your blog when your kitten is hanging around. #catladyprobz
