Sunday, August 25, 2013

So, let me tell you about Friday afternoon before I begin, I got to finish work an hour early, when I got to the train station a train guard gave me a flower and told me to have a good day! Which it totally was a good day, the sun was out, the sky clear and the temp was a lovely 25 degrees.

Pretty box!

When I got home (in record time too!), I opened the letter box, and found my Lust Have It box!

Then I made the best Chow Mein I've ever made for dinner, had the cutest cuddles from my funny baby dog and my period ended! Best day I've had in a while!

Onto the August - celebration - box!

Box contents! Must remember to use that Lush card!!

There was a few things I was excited to see in this box, the first thing I saw was a free consultation card from Lush! (- only one of my favourite shops)

1. Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator RRP $29.95 30ml (Full size)

I've never used an illuminator before, so I'm excited to try this, and I've heard good things about the Revlon Photoready products. The shade I got is 200 Pink Light.

2. Revlon Nearly Naked Makeup RRP $25.95 30ml (4x samples)

Come to think of it, I don't think I ever tried any Revlon products before. I received 4 different samples in different shades; Shell 130, Natural Beige 170, True Beige 190 and Natural Tan 220. This does come in 12 shades though, so I'm sure if I like the texture I could find a better match. The card says this foundation is pack with vitamins and antioxidants, and works with your skins texture for an even finish.

3. KMS California Free Shape Shampoo RRP $28.95 300ml (12ml sample)

KMS California Free Shape Conditioner RRP $28.95 250ml

Unfortunately, I didn't receive the conditioner. It says it increases the manageability and pliability of hair for heat styling, and that's something I could definitely use!

4. KMS California Hot Flex Spray RRP $31.95 200ml (30ml sample)

Heat spray is always handy, this one apparently helps to style your hair while protecting it!

5. SinfulColors Nail Enamel RRP $4.95 15ml (Full size)

I got the shade Under 18, which is a metallic red. I've been wanting to try this brand for a while now, I always look at the display whenever I go into Kmart, but I can never bring myself to buy another polish, I have too many for one person as it is!

But anyway, I seem to always get metallic red whenever Lust Have It sent out a nail polish...

6. Lush Skin's Shangri La Moisturiser RRP $54.95 45g (10g sample)

So excited to finally get a Lush product in the box, and this one is something I've wanted to try for agers! I can't really explain the smell, it's like almond-y/vanilla-y/herbal-y. I love it already! A little goes a long way too, I put a small dot on my hand, and it was enough for my entire hand!!

7. LA Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water RRP $21.95 300ml (50ml sample)

This is an interesting product that I've never heard of before, it's supposed to sooth and soften sensitive and irritated skin.

8. LA Roche Posay LIPIKAR Balm RRP $37.95 400ml (15ml sample)

This is a thick body balm that has anti-irratation and anti-scratch properties, and doesn't have a smell. I used it on my feet, they are kind of rough at the moment, and this did help sooth them, but I'll let you know how I like it once I've finished the tube!

Later,

Celeste

Lust Have It Box July

I really like the print on this box :)

Wow, I didn't realise I hadn't posted this until I looked in my letter box today and found my August box! So, here I give you, a month late, the July box!!

July box.. sitting on a fancy plastic tub!

1. PHYT's Lait Hydro-Nettoyant and Soin Riche Protecteur
Both are 3ml samples RRP $43 200ml (Lait) & $78 40ml (Sion)
I don't have much to say about this at this point, haven't heard of this brand, or even tried these samples yet. I received the Créme Absolue rather than a Sion Riche Protectuer, are they the same thing?!

2. Schwarzkopf Extra Care Volume Powder RRP $8.99 (Full size)
I've looked at this product a few times in the shops, and was quite excited to see it in the box, but I don't know if/how it works... I've used it once and I don't really know if it makes a difference. I'll probably do a separate review on this later.

3. Swisse Hand Cream with Vitamin F & Pomegranate RRP $29.95 500ml (30ml sample)
This does NOT contain parabens, SLS, SLES, synthetic fragrance and colour, petrochemicals, silicones, mineral oils, PEGS, TEA, DEA, urea, peroxide, animal products, nano particles, and is NOT tested on animals.
I'm quite keen to try this for those reasons, and I didn't know Swisse made anything other than vitamins! But I have so many hand creams and moisturisers, I didn't really want to open it yet. It smells, odd, like it reminds me of those vitamin C tablets you can chew, but it doesn't smell citrusy. Imagine a chewable vitamin that was pomegranate flavoured, and that's the best description I can give you!

4. California Mango Mango and Jojoba Body Lotion RRP $3.49 2oz (Full size)
I love mango, so I'm sure I'll love this, but as I said, I have a few different lotions on the go.. I'd not heard of this brand before receiving this. It is a vegan formula, paraben free, cruelty free and eco-friendly. And smells really good! Like I want to eat it...

5. Nude By Nature Natural Tinted Moisturiser with Sunscreen RRP $19.95 30ml (Full size)
So far I love this brand, and everything I've ever tried has come from a Lust Have It box! I'm excited to try this, and was waiting until the weather warmed up a bit before opening it (wow, I hardly even used anything from this box yet!!)
This will get it's own review, maybe a Nude by Nature review actually... Stay tuned!

6. Colorsmash by Condition Culture Hair Shadow RRP US$15 (12m sample)
When I opened the box, I thought this was an eyeshadow, but then when I found out it was a hair shadow, so I was a tiny bit more excited. I say tiny because I would like to try a hair shadow, and wasn't going to go out and buy one, but, and that's a big BUT!
It's gold... (Gold Rush to be precise) I'm blonde, so yeah, don't think it will so up in my hair :(

7. Knotties by Condition Culture Hair Ties RRP US$6.25 (Full size)
I got 2 hair ties, a leopard print one and a neon orange, the orange isn't in the photo because I'd just worn it and it looked a bit gross covered in hair.
Apparently these don't give you a bump in your hair like regular hair ties do, but I didn't find that really worked? Still got a bump, however I do still like them, like a regular hair tie!
Also, apparently, you can wear them around your wrist! What innovation! *sarcasm. That's where I usually put hair ties when I'm not using them, but might later..

8. (Bonus!) Health Essentials Maqui Berry Active RRP$45 150g Pawder (6g sample)
The ultimate antioxidant, super organic food! Australian certified organic! Suggestions include adding this to; smoothies, shakes, water, juice, ice-cream, yoghurt, custard, cereal, porridge and desserts.
To be honest, I keep forgetting I even have this! I do want to try it, I hope it's not past it's date!

August box post will be up later this weekend!

Later,
Celeste
