Lust Have It FAB Box August 2014

Hey guys,

I recieved the August Lust Have it FAB box a few days ago and I want to share with you the contents of this box. 

For those who don't know what the FAB box is, It is a monthly subscription service by Lust Have it which contains 4-5 Fashion and Beauty items each month. This box is a little more expensive than the Lust Have it Beauty box and retails for $35. I joined this service because I was quite impressed with the contents last month and I thought it was totally worth the $35 you spend each month.

In this month's box we got the products in a pink mesh bag, which I really like because its a fine mesh and can be used for so many things. The products included three Butter London nail polishes in Lovely Jublee, which is a purple glitter nail polish with pink, red and blue glitter in it; British Racing Green which is a metallic dark forest green and Crumpet which is a nude skintone beige colour. Although I really like the colours I am not a nail polish person and don't wear it at all. I would have been happier if they had included atleast one makeup item instead of three nail polishes. Nonetheless, Butter London is a very good brand for nail polishes and they are quite expensive too. Here they say it retails for $22 each but when I checked online on Adore Beauty, I found these three colours were on sale for $19.95 each, which is still quite expensive for one nail polish. 

There were also some vouchers included this month, but I don't use them so they went straight in the bin.

This box also came with two beautiful jewelry peices which I am totally in love with. I have nothing like these in my collection and they are great for the spring and summer. The quality of the jewelery is quite nice and heavy and definitely don't feel cheap. I don't think they are worth the price it says on the card, like you could get stuff like this from Colette and Lovisa for around $12-$20, but nonetheless they are still very pretty and I love them.

Overall I am quite impressed although I would have loved atleast one makeup item instead of so many nail polishes. Still this box was worth well more than $35 and I can't wait for the next box to come out. 

Have you subscribed to any Fashion and Beauty Boxes? Do you think they are worth it?

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.
