Lush Boxing Day Haul

Hey guys,

I just wanted to share with you some goodies I bought from Lush just after Christmas. All of their Christmas lines and a few other products were 50% off so I grabbed some items just before they were gone for the year.

Fun Gold :

A limited edition multi-purpose, mouldable soap for body, hair, bath and fun. This particular one comes in a golden lustre and with the scent of Lush's famous Honey, I washed the kids fragrance. Its like play dough for adults. 

Santa's Lip Scrub: 

I love Lush's lip scrubs and when I knew this one smelt of Cola I had to grab it. It is made out of caster sugar and extra virgin olive oil and is a great way to exfoliate your lips without being too harsh.

Sandy Santa Scrub:

This is a body scrub made out of Sugar, Shea Butter, Coconut oil etc. It smells great too thats why I bought two of these. They also last about 2-3 washes so I will be using up both pretty soon. This is a great way to exfoliate and moisturize at the same time.

I love using products from Lush because they not only do the job but also smell great. Another very big advantage is that their products are made using natural ingredients and are cruelty free. You can buy their products from here.

Have you guys tried any of these products before? What do you think of them?

Lush, L'Occitane and Essence Haul

Hey guys,

I shopped a bit, I know I don't need any more products but you know how it is when you see something and immediately feel the need to own it. The same thing happened to me last week. So I gave in and bought the following products.

Lush Sweetie Pie shower Jelly:

I am a huge Lush fan and I have tried a lot of their products but not this  one. I really liked the concept of using a jelly like a bar of soap for your shower so I picked this up. It smells like cherries. So excited to try it out. Retail price is A$6.25 for 100 gms

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub: 

This is a repurchase. I have used this lip scrub before but when I went to India in January I forgot it back there. I love that it has a sweet candy smell and honestly makes your lips super smooth. Retail price A$9.95 for 25 gms

L'Occitane Hand Creams :

L'Occitane hands down makes the best hand creams ever. I actually recieved the shea butter hand cream in a magazine once and fell in love with it. When I went to repurchase that, I smelled these two and had to buy them. The shea butter hand cream does not have a distinct smell but these ones smell amazing. The one on the right smells like roses and the left smells like cherry blossom. They retail for A$12 each.

Essence Me and My Ice cream Hand wipes and Shimmer Pearls:

Next stop was at Priceline and I really wanted to try some products from this Me and My Ice cream collection but unfortunately these were the only products I could get my hands on that were not tampered with. The hand wipes smell delicious and the shimmer pearls look like a dupe for the Guerlain meteorites pearls. They are basically supposed to give your face a radiant illuminated look. I have not tried them out yet so I can't say if they work well. The hand wipes were A$2.25 and the shimmer pearls A$5.75

That was all I bought, If you have tried any of the products mentioned do let me know what you think about them.

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.
