This box was the most wonderful Christmas surprise in my mailbox! I love beauty boxes and I couldn’t wait to see what was inside this Terra Bella Box.

Each Terra Bella Box comes with an information card detailing each item in your box for that month, as well as the retail value and a website link is provided for additional purchases or information about each product.

GLOW for a Cause – Perfume in Wish

$18.00

GLOW’s best seller roll on perfume. It is a mixture of floral, white tea and bergamont with a hint of musk. I love the roller perfume, I can put it where I want it with ease. It is a nice smell and I will definitely use it. A great larger sized perfume for a beauty box, not a sample size.

Jersey Shore Cosmetics – Whole Body Balm

$45.00

An organic all over body balm. This product seems like a miracle balm. It is great for face, lips, hands, eyes, elbows, feet and any other area you need nourished. It can also smooth hair flyaways, condition cuticles and removes makeup smudges. It does everything! I cannot wait to try this tonight on my face. It is a decent size and a little will go a long way, it will last a long time.

Indigo Wild – Peppermint-Almond Bah Hum Zum Mini Bar Soap

$3.10

An all natural handmade goat’s milk soap with essential oils. The perfect soap for the Christmas holiday guests! I love the mint smell and fun colours!

Artistic Solutions Ink – Soy Lotion Candle in Sugar Plum Spice

$9.00

A candle tin filled with 100% soy wax plus skin softening olive oil. The candle smells lovely and is pink… my favorite colour. 🙂 I cannot wait for my husband to give me a foot massage tonight to try it out!

Save 15% off your moisturizing lotion candle at Artistic Solutions Ink, promo code TERRABELLA

Verdict: This bath and beauty box is fabulous! I love the mixture of beauty related products and other useful pamper me products. There are some great items that most people haven’t heard about before and the best part is they are all full-sized products… no sample sizes. For ladies who love beauty products, this box is a great value! The items total over double the price of the box and you get to have an amazing surprise each month delivered for you in the mail. That really is the true fun of the Terra Bella Subscription Box. It is the best gift that keeps on giving each month! 🙂

As a women and a mom I was super excited to be treated with the Mommy Mailbox. Pampering products just for me!

Each Mommy Mailbox comes with an information card telling you about each of the products inside your box.

The theme for November’s box is Pamper. It has an extra special touch, as everything was handpicked by Beverley Mitchell

Rifle Paper Co. – Jardin de Paris Notepad $8

A beautiful, bright colored tear-off notepad. Perfect for the holiday season shopping lists or quick notes to my loved ones!

San Francisco Salt Co. – Himalayan Bath Salt $4.99

Medium grain bath, spa, shower, and feet salts. Great for re-mineralizing the body with minerals and trace elements, soothe muscle aches and pains, and softens skin. I do not know much about these Himalayan bath salts, so I am curious to try them out and see how my body feels after… a great reason to have a relaxing bath!

Wild Ophelia – Peanut Butter Cups

Made with Maine sea salt, roasted peanut butter, 70% cacao dark chocolate. I love chocolate and peanut butter! Cannot wait to try these with sea salt, I know they will not last long!

Wrenn Jewelry – Earrings $28

Beautiful sparkly, rose gold, petite druzy stud earrings. These 6mm round druzy earrings have a rainbow sparkle. They are lovely! One of my earrings has an imperfection and is not flat across the top. It is not noticeable when while wearing it, but I am still a bit disappointed. 🙁

Save 15% off, use code MommyMail

Ofra Cosmetics – Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Santa Ana $19.90

A long lasting liquid lipstick that goes on smooth without any of the stickiness usually found in lip glosses. The color looks like it would be amazing for everyone! I cannot wait to get all dolled up and try out this non-sticky lipstick!

Verdict: A box just for women and moms, I love that! Often we work too hard and forget to relax and treat ourselves. This box does just that! Pampering products for me and only me. Thanks to this box I will have a long deserved bath tonight, with the door locked! 🙂 I sampled the yummy peanut butter chocolate and my daughter asked for one…no, its for me…it says so on the box! 🙂 I love how this box is a mix of some well known brands and some small businesses. It has a unique twist in that Mommy Mailbox boxes are curated by different bloggers each month. The value inside the box is okay, the box costs slightly less than if you were to buy each item separately, but more importantly the purpose of this box is to treat women and moms. I think this box is a great splurge gift and a wonderful surprise to look forward to each month in your mailbox.

I absolutely love beauty subscription boxes, they give me that happy feeling inside. And when my Terra Bella Box arrived, I fell immediately in love!!! For starters the box was covered in an amazing leaf design, it looked beautiful! Once I opened the box I knew I would love my Terra Bella Box, they really focus on attention to detail, even in their packaging.

Each Terra Bella Box comes with a double sided information card detailing each item in your box for that month.

Purelygreat – Cream Deodorant in Lavender

$15

A natural deodorant for women. It is scented with essential oils, offers long-lasting protection, and is stain free. I have recently began really looking at the ingredients I put on my skin, and a natural deodorant is top on my list. I currently use a different brand I got in another sub box, but cannot wait to try this brand! 🙂

Woolin & Co. – Handcrafted Soap in Ylang Ylang & Geranium

$7

This scent was especially created for Terra Bella Box…how special! It uses the finest essential oils and a triple butter blend, and is great for moisturizing. My kids love handmade soaps, I don’t need to remind them to wash their hands now, they jump at the chance to this soap! Score 1 for Mommy, thanks Woolin & Co.!

Meraki Botanicals – Rose Lemongrass Toning Mist

$20

Rose lemongrass toning mist shrinks pores and revitalizes tired skin with witch hazel and it helps sooth and heal inflamed skin. Antibacterial rose hydrosol clears skin irritations, hydrates skin and improves skin tone. Lemongrass essential oil is an astringent and anti-fungal, making it perfect for clearing up acne and brightening dull skin. Wow! Doesn’t this sound absolutely amazing!? I cannot wait to try it! And it contains all natural ingredients!

Klen – Shower Steamer in Happy

$3.99

Treat yourself to a spa experience with aromatherapy in your shower. Place the steamer near the direct steam of the water and splash a small amount of water onto it throughout the shower to activate. Jasmine essential oil provides anti-depressant, anti-septic and aphrodisiac benefits. Stimulates healthy skin, helps congestion and aids in a calm sleep. I have seen these around, but never actually tried one…now I can… yippee!

Orglamix – Blacquer Shadow + liner

$18

An all natural three-in-1 creme primer, shadow and liner that glides on easily and stays put.

Orglamix – Eco Chic Bent Eyeliner Makeup Brush

$7.50

This vegan and cruelty-free make-up brush is unique with its bent shaft for easy precise application. With this fine eyeliner brush you have better control and are able to conform to the shape of your eye with one easy stroke.

Okay…I must say I am a little scared to try this product. I do not have the steadiest of hands and often wonder how people with eyeliner do it so beautifully. On the other hand I am really super excited to try it…maybe I too will have those beautifully lined eyes I dream about! 🙂 What a great and unique idea, so excited that it is in my box this month!

Spoiler Alert… June Sneak Peek!

Dermodeli – Invigorating Vitamin C Serum

Verdict: I knew from the second I saw this box in my mailbox I would love it. It brought a smile to my face instantly! This box encompasses so many positive, healthy ideas within one subscription box. The products are all natural, cruelty-free and handmade by small businesses and these products are amazing! For myself, I love the mix of essential products I would have bought anyway and a special treat just for myself. I don’t even know which products to try out first, they all look so good!
