Lust Have It! September Box

Hey Guys,
I received my September Lust Have It! box in the mail today. I am really excited to try out some of the products I received. There is one product that I have used before and loved, so it is a bonus. The packaging is the same as the previous boxes, cardboard flap box. I heard that they were going to change the packaging this month but I guess they are still continuing the boxes. Without further adieu lets get into the contents of this month's box. 




WOTNOT Natural Organic Facial Wipes
Full Size RRP A$7.95, 25 Wipes per pack
The formula is enriched with all natural ingredients including Australian certified organic aloe vera to lubricate and repair, certified organic sweet almond oil to restore lost moisture and calm itch and inflammation and certified organic rosehip oil for skin regeneration and moisture re-balancing.

The pack I received includes 5 wipes and since it is completely organic it should not irritate my skin like other facial wipes do. I am excited to give these ones a go.



MARY KAY Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover (Mini Version)
Full Size RRP A$22, 110ml 
Gently removes eye makeup including waterproof mascara without tugging or pulling delicate skin in the eye area. Formula does not leave the skin feeling dry. The mini is great for travel and small enough to tuck in your handbag.

The mini version has 29 ml of product, this is said to be oil-free but it does have an oil like substance in it. It is like those makeup removers where you shake the bottle and mix the two liquids before using. 


L'oreal Base Magique Primer and Nude Magique BB Cream
Full Size RRP A$ 29.95, 15ml and RRP A$26.95, 30ml
L'oreal base magique primer is a transforming smoothing primer that instantly minimizes pores and creates an even surface, so that you get a more flawless makeup result that lasts.
L'oreal Nude Magique BB Cream is a breakthrough in BB technology. Micro pigment capsules that transform and self-adjust to match your skin tone for the perfect nude look.

 I have used this primer before and love it. I would not recommend it for dry skin because it does give a matte look and can show dry patches on the skin. I got a nice travel friendly 5ml tube of the primer and a 1ml sachet of the BB Cream. I am excited to see if this BB Cream actually adapts to my skin tone. Will give it a go and let you guys know.



Bioderma Sebium AKN and Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel
Full size RRP A$24.95, 30ml  and RRP A$29.95, 500ml 
Bioderma Sebium AKN preserves sebum quality, preventing deterioration and thickening, thus effectively reducing the appearance and development of imperfections.
Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel is formulated with non-irritant substances that gently cleanses and reduces secretion whilst purifying the epidermis.

I am really excited to try these out. They are great for oily skin like mine.




BAJI Skincare Range
BAJI Eye Rescue Serum 
Full Size RRP A$39, 15ml
This ultra light weight, fast absorbing, intensive formula helps fight against puffiness, dark circles and wrinkles.

Another exciting product to try out. I am all for eye serums and creams and have been loving Eyesilix by Indeed Labs. Hope this one turns out to be good too.


Lust Have It! Synthetic precision pencil brush
Full Size RRP A$15
This synthetic precision brush is perfect for cream or powder eyeshadow application.

I am all for makeup brushes and love to try out different types. This looks like a great smudge brush as it works for both cream and powder.



TOM Organic Regular Tampons
Full Size RRP A$7.99, Pack of 16
TOM's range of feminine hygiene products are made using the purest organic cotton on earth; breathable, comfortable, hypoallergenic. TOM offers reliable, chemical free protection and peace of mind.


 


That was all the products in my Lust Have It! box. i ma really excited to try the eye serum and the bioderma products. The brush is an added bonus.
Did you get a similar box? If not what did you get in yours? I would love to know in the comments below.

Till next time,
❤

Lust Have it! August Box *

Hey guys,


I know this is a very late post and most of you would have already seen a lot of Australian bloggers blog about this, but I thought I would add in and give my views too. For those of you who don't know what Lust Have it! is check my post here for more info.

I recently received my August Lust Have it! box. This is the first box I have received after I discontinued their service in February 2013. The August box was sent to me for review and because I am highly impressed I wanted to share my thoughts with all of you. Lets get into the contents of this month's box.



The packaging is a beautiful mint blue box with a floral pattern on it, great to store knick-knacks or use as a pretty display. Inside the box were all my items wrapped in black tissue paper. It also comes with a card that explains each product, its uses and retail value of the full size product. Below are the items I received and what they are used for.





Revlon Photoready Skinlights face Illuminator:
Full size RRP $29.95, 30ml
This Illuminator is a lightweight liquid illuminator that works to instantly brighten the skin. Designed to enhance skin's natural radiance, it boosts natural illuminosity, minimizes flaws, enhances skin with a hint of sheer colour and protects the skin from harsh environments.

The colour I received is in 200 Pink lights




Revlon Nearly Naked Makeup:
Full size RRP $25.95, 30ml
So light, it melts right in, working in harmony with your skin's unique tone and texture for an even, flawless finish. Vitamin and antioxidant- packed to pump up your natural glow. Available in 12 true-to-tone shades.

This is a sample of four shades of the new Nearly Naked foundation by Revlon.



KMS California Free shape shampoo:
Full size RRP $28.95, 300ml
Create unlimited style transformations with hot tools. Styles last until next wash. The Free Shape Shampoo increases manageability and pliability for preparation for heat styling.

I received a 12ml sachet which is great for traveling, saves so much space.





KMS California Free Shape Add Volume Volumizing Spray:
Full Size RRP $31.95, 200ml
This spray increases volume and provides intense fullness, ideal for super fine hair.

The deluxe sample is 30ml which is great to test out and see if it actually works before buying a full size.





Sinful Colours Nail Enamel:
Full size RRP 4.95, 15ml
Sinful colours nail enamel has a long wearing, chip-resistant, professional formula and is available in 69 runway inspired shades.

This is another full size item in the box and the shade I received is in 369 Ruby Ruby which is a bright red.






La Roche Posay Thermal Spring water:
Full Size RRP $ 21.95, 300ml
This product soothes sensitive skin irritated by outside factors and helps prevent skin aging. It is also a natural anti-oxidant.

Yet another deluxe sample to test out. It is basically like MAC's Fix Plus, but this one can be applied all over the body.





La Roche Posay Lipikar Blam AP:
Full Size RRP $37.95, 400ml
Lipikar Balm is a lipid-replenishing body balm that offers a 24hours anti-scratching efficacy. Its quick-dress texture for fast absorption into the skin is adapted for babies and children.

The sample I received is quite decently sized, usually we get samples of 5ml but this one is 15ml and it will last quite a few uses.




I also received a card from Lush which gave me a free sample of any Lush moisturizer or cleanser I would like to try. So I went to the Lush store and got the Enzymion Moisturizer which is for oily skin. Since they gave me enough to last only two uses, I have already used it up. Can't say I found any difference to my skin because I did not use it much. Hopefully I will get the full size soon and try it out.

Out of all the products I an extremely excited to try out the La Roche Posay products and the Revlon Nearly Naked foundation.  I love these beauty box subscriptions, they provide you with so many new products to try out. Overall the value of the box is way more than what you actually pay for it. With Lust Have it! I have always received at least one full size item that covers the price of the whole box. I am totally impressed and would highly recommend everyone to check it out. 

I have a special coupon for first timers. Just use the code DAZZLE at the checkout to get $5 off your first box. You can also use the link on the right side of this blog.

Are you a Lust Have it! subscriber? What do you think of it?

Lust Have it! Australia's Beauty Subscription Service.

Hey Guys,

Sorry for not being able to post anything recently. I actually met with a small accident and I am still recovering. But on the brighter side I have some great news for all of you. Most of you may know or would have heard of Lust Have it! in Australia, it is basically a beauty box subscription service which delivers 5-6 sample beauty and skin care products each month to your doorstep. I was initially subscribed to Glossy Box back in 2011 and eventually Lust Have it! took over Glossy Box which made me continue my service with Lust Have it! Samples are great to test a product if it suits you and for traveling. I use most of my samples for traveling because they don't take too much space. 

I have always enjoyed trying out new brands and using different products and this service provides that. There have been so many products that I tried, only because they came in my Lust Have it! box and have fell in love with. I would have never bought them on my own and a lot of them I didn't even know existed. Each month you get deluxe samples of 5-6 products that you can try out and see if it works for you. I have gotten at least one full size item in almost all my boxes, which covers the cost of the box itself. Till date I have received products from Benefit, Lush, Marc Jacobs, Face of Australia, Models Prefer, Tigi, L'oreal, Sheer cover, Dermalogica, Avene, Naked Tan, Mirenesse, Jurlique and Bioderma to name a few.

What first started as a Women's Beauty Box has expanded and now they have a Bridal Box, Eco Box and FaB Box
The cost of subscription is $19.95 each month for the Women's Box and the best thing about this is you can cancel anytime.If you use my coupon code DAZZLE you get $5 off the first month. Try it out!!!! For $14.95 you are definitely going to get products worth more than that. I will be honest and say that I canceled this service in February this year due to traveling overseas and moving houses and jobs. But I have joined them again and I will be continuing this service. I am so excited to try out a lot more new products!!!
