Lust Have It Box August

 

Hello Lovelies!

I have to say that I am actually impressed with the Lust Have It Box for this month! Well last month’s really since I got these really late! It’s a bit like the beauty goddess knew what I was missing! Ok slight exaggeration, but I am still happy with it all. Especially since this month is the “birthday box” and August is my birthday month so hooray!

Ok, lets get down to business! ( To defeat the huns…. anyone else? No just me? ok..)

BioElixia BodyShaper Stretch Mark Diminishing Cream (RRP: $39/125ml)

“Improve the visible appearance of stretchmark’s, skin texture and discoloration with the feeling of enhanced skin smoothness and softness” 

This is a full sized product and I know it is not perhaps the most exciting thing to receive.   However I am looking forward to trying it out (and hopefully getting rid of a few stretch marks….) and seeing how it compares to Bio Oil. Which is much cheaper and works quite well.

 

Eleven Australia Miracle Hair Treatment (RRP: $24.95/125ml)

Another full sized product so can’t complain about that. I have a bit of a thing for hair treatments at the moment, so I am looking forward to trying this out. Especially since I have just dramatically changed the colour of my hair, so it is in need of a little extra love.

To me this sounds a lot like the Moroccan Oil type products that are so readily available now for hair. It is meant to add shine, smoothness and softness as well as strengthening hair and preventing spilt ends. I do love my Moroccan Oil, so I will be interested to see if this is as good or better.

 

Essenzza Fuss Free Naturals Facial Cleansing Wipes (RRP:$6.95)

I have seen these cleansing wipes around and I do really like the almost retro design of the packaging. This is another full sized product with a bonus travel size pack. I have run out of cleansing wipes, so it’s great to have some new ones to try out.

Bioderma Crealine H2O (RRP:$29.99/250ml)

“A micellar solution that cleanses impurites and removes makeup while respecting the skin’s natural balance”

I have seen this particular product on a few blogs so I am looking forward to trying it out. I did like the Garnier Micellar Water, so hopefully this will be as good or better. This is only a 20ml sample size.

 

Mask Eyeshadow Brush Pro-Liner (RRP: $28.95)

Not going to say no to an eyeshadow brush! It seems like a reasonable brush too. However my Body Shop brush is still my favourite! It just seems to be the right size.

There were also a few vouchers included with this months box. I will be honest and say I probably won’t use most of them, but the QuickFlix voucher will definitely get some use.

 

That’s all for this month! I don’t think it is a bad bunch of samples to be honest and quite a few full sized samples. I will write proper reviews as I finish each product.

 

Hope you are having an amazing day!!

 

Xx.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lust Have It FAB Box for June

Hello Lovelies 🙂

Well I got my first Fashion and Beauty (FAB) Box  from Lust Have It yesterday. I used the discount I got in my last Lust Have It box to try this one out and see if it was worth the extra money compared to the regular Lust Have It Box. I didn’t get Bellabox this month and I’m a little disappointed since it actually looked like a good box! Oh well.

Here is what was in the FAB Box for June:

 

Mysterious Crystal Eyeliner (RRP:$28) from Teeez Trend Cosmetics.

This is a full sized product and I have to say my favourite from the box. It is a nice eyeliner and goes on pretty smoothly. It is a nice metallic black too and there is a little sponge on one end to create a smoky eye with. The packing is a little too busy for my liking but it is colourful. I would not have trouble finding this in my make up bag, so I guess that is a good thing.

 

Paradise Perfect Lip-gloss ($25) from Teeez Trend Cosmetics.

This is a gold shimmer lip-gloss but the gold is pretty subtle and just gives lips a shimmer to them. You can wear it on it’s own or as a top coat over you lipstick. I would be inclined to wear it over my lipstick. It is a little sticky, but not too bad. It is meant to plump up your lips a bit as well, but I can’t say I noticed too much difference. It is paraben free and a full sized product.  I don’t use lip-gloss that much, as I prefer a more matt lip look, but this is a nice enough product. I don’t think I would go out and buy it though.

 

Fabulous Foundation Brush (RRP:$35) from Teeez Trend Cosmetics.

“Made with natural goat hair, this brush applies foundation evenly” – Lust Have It.

Another full sized product. I already have a Real Techniques foundation brush, so I’m not overly excited about this product. It seems nice enough and it’s good to have another brush, but I don’t use mine often enough to need heaps of them.

 

Lethal Lips Temporary Lip Tattoo (RRP $8)

These are a bonus product and I’m not sure about them. I will test one out, but I think I prefer lipstick etc. It’s a bit of a weird product for me. There is 3 in the pack and it says they are supposed to last up to 8hrs and are enhanced with vitamins for a smooth glossy finish.

 

LHI Accessories – Crystal Love Bracelet (RRP$29.95) and Drop Earrings(RR$19.95).

These are definitely my least favourite items in the box. They look even more cheap and tacky in real life than they do in the photo. Sorry, but they do. There is no way I would pay the RRP for these. For the price, they look very cosmetic and cheap. I think you would find much nicer jewelry from places like Diva, Louisa etc. for the same price. One of the earrings has already bent and I can’t put it on properly so I think that says a lot! They are too gaudy for me anyway, but the quality is really lacking.

Overall I thought the box was ok. I think I will try it for another month as I feel the accessories really let the whole box down. I like the fact that the products are full size, but I’m not convinced yet if it is better than the normal box. I’ll see how next month goes!

 

Xx.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lust Have it Box May

Lust Have it May Box and Mini Review.

Hello Lovelies,

This is my first ever Lust Have It box and I have to say I’m pretty happy with this. The packaging wasn’t anything special, but I understand that this isn’t the normal packaging for Lust Have It. Normally you get a cosmetic bag. I’m not super fussed about getting (another) cosmetic bag, that I may or may not use. I am happy with the $20 voucher to put towards one of their other boxes. Which I will be doing as I would like to try one of the more ‘higher end’ boxes to see what they are like.

Anyway on to the products:

 Appelles Rosemary Body Bar (RRP$4.95/100g)

I was excited about this product when Bellabox announced that it would be in their box (as well). I know being excited about soap sounds a bit lame, but I really like rosemary smelling products and there aren’t too many around. However, it also has Lemon Myrtle in it and this over powers the Rosemary. Maybe this makes me “UnAustralian” but I am not a big fan of the native plant scents. This is a fresh lemony smelling soap and the packaging is cute. It is also paraban free and not tested on animals.

 The Cosmetic Kitchen Pure Mineral Blush in Strawberry. (RRP: 34.95)

For some one who doesn’t use a lot of blush I am starting to get a bit of a collection! This is a full sized product which is good. I like the packaging and the colour looks good too. I am looking forward to trying this product out as I haven’t used any Cosmetic Kitchen products before.

 Sasy n Savy Vitamin Enriched Facial Recovery Masque (RRP: $50/100ml)

In theory this mask should suit my skin. In theory. If you have read my blog before you know already that I have trouble finding face masks that don’t irritate my skin. Because of that I am always a little wary whenever I get a sample like this. Saying that, it is a good size sample at 20ml. It has Aloe Vera and Jojo oils in it to deeply cleanse the skin. We shall see how this goes…

 Coral Colour Eyebrow Definer Pencil (RRP: $7.95)

I don’t do much with my eyebrows so I probably won’t really use this. It is a full size sample though. I can tell already that it is going to be to dark for my brows.

 Mary Kay Lip-Lacquer in Chai Latte (RRP: $22/4g)

I was excited about this product and I liked how you could choose which colour you wanted. Which you did via a link on the Lust Have It facebook page. It is a nice colour the Chai Latte and would suit a natural look. It come with a retractable Mini lip brush. This is a full sized item as well. Quite a few in the Lust Have It box which is good.

Overall. I am happy with this month’s box. I’m looking forward to next months as well as trying out another of the Lust Have It box’s and see how it compares to the basic one.

That’s it from me and I hope you are having an amazing day 🙂
