Lust Have It Eco box Winter 2014

In one of the lust have it boxes- there was a voucher to try the 'Eco' box at a reduced price. It normally retails at $29.95 quarterly but I think I paid half that for this box. 

The product card: 

Let me jut st start by saying the packaging was a nightmare! It was filled with that shredded woody paper crap- needless to say- it went everywhere! My dog was trying to sticky beak and eat it and I was trying to see what was in the box but everything I took out only scattered the packfill even more! What a mess! 

The Contents: 

Natural Galmour Bronzer: leaked through three lids and a box- not for travel friends! The product itself is a good colour and has a fine texture- you just can't move it off your vanity otherwise your in for a gigantic mess! 

Sukin Cleanser: not irritating in anyway- leaves skin feeling soft and clean

Billie Goat Soap: I can't decide if I loved this because it is cut into the shape of a goat or if I love it just because it's good! It's not hard soap but it's not a glycerine soap- the texture is in between. Really silky- a good leg shaving soap. 

Jojoba oil: I just can't get excited about this- it's alright but you've tried one, you've tried em all. 

Karpati eye mask: this was a nice little treat to revive the eyes pepped the peepers! 

La Mav eye lotion: I used the entire sample consistently for a few weeks, it's calming, comfortable to use but nothing to write home about. It sort of pushes around until it either evaporates or sinks in wasn't sure which! 

Weleda shampoo & conditioner sachet: another hohum good not great/ nothing exciting product- it's fine, does an ok job but nothing spec. 

Overall I wasn't blown away- each item was fine in it's own way but nothing really rocked my socks- the Bronzer would have been the star product had it not leaked everywhere. Maybe this box isn't the right fit for me- if I wanted specialty products for specific ingredient/ ethical concerns- it might have been. Sometimes a rockstar hero product can redeem an entire box- unfortunately there was no star to steal the show! 

Highlight: goat soap 

Lowlight: La Mav eye lotion

What do you think of Eco box? 

Is it up your alley?

Lust Have It June 2014 FAB (fashion & beauty)

Lust Have It June 2014

Unfortunately I've been delayed it posting lately! Sorry!! A combination of this parcel being late, a new job, a bigger commute and study all getting in the way!

This months lust have it bag was a little boring (sorry lhi but it was) maybe that's why I'm posting late- nothing to write home about... 

The contents: 

Closer:

Teez nail polish (this months main affiliate) 

Orly travel files 

Toe separators 

John Plunket Glyco peel 

La Roche cream (got this in another too) 

Nuxe eye & face cream sachets

Teez nail polish (this months main affiliate): this polish is a dark red metallic- it's a bit moodier than I usually wear- will prob give this away  

Orly travel files: handy little purse pack of files 

Toe separators: they do what they say- handy again

John Plunket Glyco peel: these products are always good to try before you buy- this is a decent size to determine if you like it. Skin should be deliciously smooth after use. Tick! 

La Roche cream (got this in another too) I liked it in the other box and I liked it again- this product also smoothing and assists with preventing clogged pores. 

Nuxe eye & face cream sachets: don't get me wrong Nuxe products are really lush and nice- but I hate sachets- they're just a bit awkward- there's more than one use but once it's open it let's air in affecting to product. 

Overall this box was fine- it's all useable but it's not exciting to get a little sachet, use it twice and that's it. This lhi wasn't ground breaking but I guess it's hard to wow every month! I still really enjoy this monthly treat- while this box may not temp you to subscribe- see my other lust have it blogs because they are usually incredible value with some exciting products inside! Bring on the next!
