Belleza box - massage kit discontinued by Principessa Beauty - review by Jul!a

What is it, and what comes with it?

This is the Belleza Box from Principessa Beauty. In it, you'll receive sample sizes of their body wash, whipped lotion, hand cream, shampoo, and conditioner. You'll also receive a full size bath pouf and a candle. The kit itself is a nice way to pamper a loved one or even yourself, provided you know they (or you) enjoy the scent.

That's nice. What does the packaging look like?

The box itself will be a nice sturdy pink cardboard that holds everything inside nicely. The bottles themselves are also pink, but soft and easy to squish, squeeze, and anything else you might want to do with them. Well, they probably won't be good jack stands, but anything you'd expect of a squishy pink bottle it'll do.

Cool! Can you tell me more about everything that's inside of the box?

I sure can! I do have longer reviews of everything but the candle, so the summaries will be here and you can click through to read the more detailed versions, pictures and ingredients included.

The Pouf: Is actually a really nice little loofah. It's soft but still exfoliates well.

Bellocia

The Whipped Lotion: This will come in a 2 ounce bottle. It's nice and creamy and you don't need a ton of it, seriously, I was able to use just over a quarter sized dollop to get like, my whole body. It also didn't leave me feeling like I had just put on a ton of lotion.

The Hand Cream: The only container that isn't 2 ounces, this one is .85. But don't let the small size fool you, it's perfect for keeping in your purse and you only need a tiny dollop to get your hands and even up to your elbows. It doesn't leave you feeling greasy or anything like that.

The Candle: There's not a lot of info listed on the candle. It's small, 2 ounces, and doesn't list a burn time that I can see. I've gotten about 10 hours out of it so far and still have about 1/4 of it left. It doesn't have any real special properties other than being hand poured with no dyes, lead, or paraffin and pure soy wax. Like most candles, the wick on this should be trimmed to 1/4", but it's difficult to keep it trimmed without knocking a bunch of burned wick into the candle.

Isolina

The Body Wash: Another 2 ounce bottle here. It's a bit runnier than everything else, but it's still nice and creamy. I found that I didn't need more than a dime size amount to get a nice lather that covered my whole body.

The Shampoo: This 2 ounce container gives you a shampoo that some will love and some will hate. It doesn't lather like a lot of shampoos, but it does leave the hair very clean in my experience.

The Conditioner: In this 2 ounce bottle you'll get a very luxurious conditioner. It's thick and spreads around nicely, and leaves my hair feeling soft and silky and dare I say it even seems to cut down on the potential dandruff.

I see you listed a few scents there, can you tell me more about them?

I can sure try. The Bellocia scent has been described as "what pink would smell like." It's got top notes of peach and vanilla flower, middle notes of night blooming jasmine and ylang ylang, and bottom notes of sandalwood and warm amber. Isolina has top notes are listed as violet leaves and mimosa with neroli as the middle scent and precious woods and heliotrope as its base. I'm bad, but I can't really tell the difference between them. They both smell like floral powder to me, and I enjoy that.

The scents all pair nicely with each other, and don't seem to last terribly long. With most of them, the scent was still subtly there a few hours later, but completely gone the next morning.

Got any pictures?

For pictures of everything but the candle (and ingredient lists too), please click on the highlighted names above. But I've got one of the candle burning right here for you.

I want to thank Hot 'N Sexy TexasMama for sending me the contents of this kit. Well, minus the loofah, that I picked up on my own because I needed a new one. I'm really glad that I was able to have the chance to experience Principessa's products because I'm a big fan. I know the scent isn't going to be for everybody but for those who like flowery powdery scents, everything in this kit will be a big hit.

I'm still working my way through the shampoo and conditioner, and I keep the little hand cream in my purse as my new purse lotion. I use the loofah every time I use a body wash, and I use the body wash in here in rotation with the other body washes that I have. I think that for the price and everything you get in this kit, you're getting a great buy.
