It’s likely you’ve heard of BellaBox, the once a month subscription box that’s delivered to your door and filled with the latest and greatest beauty products. BellaBox have recently introduced their Welcome to Wellness box to New Zealand, and they kindly asked if I would like to review one.
The Welcome to Wellness Box uses the same subscription method, but comes out four times a year rather than once a month. It’s packed full of a mixture of beauty, lifestyle and health products, all which are designed to enrich your life and health. The current box is available to order until the end of August, and contains over $200 worth of product for only $59.95. This price does come down, the more months you choose to subscribe for.
When I opened the box, I have to say I was very impressed with the number of full sized products. Some of the subscription boxes on the market are full of tiny samples, but Welcome to Wellness is packed full of actual sized products. The products that you get make up the $59.99 value right away.
So here’s what’s in the August box…..
KOHLE CHARCOAL AND COCONUT FACE MASK 100ml, full size
This charcoal and coconut face mask is designed to deep clean the skin, and is packed full of natural ingredients to balance and cleanse the skin. I love charcoal masks and this one didn’t disappoint! My skin felt fresh, clear and clean. Charcoal masks can be used by anyone, but are especially beneficial for those who have acne prone skin, or often get blackheads or other congestion. The charcoal is amazing at expelling impurities from the skin. RRP $36.95 AUD
KOHLE CHARCOAL KONJAC SPONGE, full size
I used to use a Konjac Sponge all of the time and found them really good, so was really excited to try this sponge out, and I forgot how amazing they make your skin feel. This can either be used as a facial sponge or used to remove the Kohle Mask. Konjac Sponges are designed to gently exfoliate the skin and promote skin cell renewal, and can be used on many different skin types. Charcoal infused masks also help to remove toxins while you cleanse. RRP $17 AUD

BLUE DINOSAUR PASSIONFRUIT SUPER BITES – 30grams, full size
I have been a fan of Blue Dinosaur bars for ages now, but this was the first time I’ve tried the super bites and they are DELICIOUS! The passionfruit flavour is yummy and I love how they are packed with healthy ingredients. They are also all natural, vegan, and gluten free, making them a healthy and delicious treat. RRP $3.90 NZD.
MEGRHYTHM STEAM EYE MASK – 2 pack, sample pack
I was quite intrigued by these masks as the packaging is all in Japanese and I had no clue what they actually were! Turns out they are self-heating steam eye masks, designed to gently cover the eye area with warm steam. A packet of 5 masks retails for $7.50 AUD
TSUNO NATURAL BAMBOO SAMPLER PACK, sample pack
I’ve opted for organic sanitary products for quite a few years now, but have never tried the Tsuno brand. This sampler pack comes with one regular pad and one liner and allows your to trial the brand. The pads are all sustainable and are made from natural bamboo and corn fibre, plus every box sold sees 50% of profits donated to the brands partner charity, One Girl. A packet of Tsuno Regular Pads cost $6.40 AUD and Panty Liners are $5.80 AUD.
SCENTERED SLEEP WELL THERAPY BALM – 1.5grams, sample size
This is a natural balm designed to help you sleep better. I love stuff like this, so was really excited to try this sample sized product. With a blend of oriental lavender, and other sleep-inducing natural oils, this balm smells amazing and makes you feel nice and relaxed. Unfortunately the full size of this product isn’t available for purchase in NZ which is disappointing as I love this one! RRP $29.95 for the full size
BELLABOX REUSABLE BAMBOO TRAVEL CUP, full size
I don’t actually own a reusable coffee cup, so was thrilled to get this one in the box. I love the colours of it, it’s really beautiful, and it’s also a decent size. The BellaBox travel cups are reusable and are made from bamboo fibre. They are also super easy to take apart and clean, which is a must have. RRP $30 AUD.

A must have in every girls shoe collection is a comfy pack of gel cushions. These cushion the balls of your feet and are great for wearing in heels, if you get sore feet like me.

This is a blend of apple cider vinegar and ginger and is designed to be a delicious, yet nutritious alternative to your regular fizzy drink. These super ingredients deliver health benefits including regulating blood sugar levels, aiding digestion, and balancing pH levels. I’ll be honest I wasn’t a huge fan of this one, it tasted like Fanta but had an apple cider aftertaste, and as much as I try to like it, I really don’t like the taste of ACV. RRP $5 NZD
GLOBAL NATURE PURE NATURAL COLLAGEN BOOSTER – 30grams, full size
It’s no secret I love my collagen powders, and I was excited to try out this booster from Global Nature. Collagen supplements help to promote healthy skin, nails and hair, and also assists with gut health. This booster is made from 99% purity mineral rich Diatom Fossil Powder, so is a little different to the usual marine or bovine collagen powders on the market. Diatom Fossil Powder (Silica) is essential for collagen production, and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. This brand is awesome as the product contains no fillers – just 100% amorphous silica. It also has no taste, so can be added to water, juice, tea or coffee and is extremely easy to consume. RRP $39.95 AUD
