Lust Have It October

Hi pretties! 

Another month, another delightful beauty subscription box! 

This month's Lust Have It is packed full of goodies! Of the 6 items 5 were full sized making it insanely good value at $19.95 per month! 

Let's get started, I'll take you on an October box tour! 

First impression: 

Looks full of goodies and comes in the usual pink mesh bag- heaps handy! 

Each month there's a product card outlining what's what:

The contents: 

1 & 2 skincare:

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse- 10 ml sample- rrp pro rata $4.99 ($24.95 for 50ml) dry oil for softening skin and helping stretch marks.

Montaigne Jeunesse glacial clay spa mask- full sized- rrp $4.99. I've tried many of their masks and they are all awesome! 

3 4 & 5- colour products:

So Susan intense eye shadow- full sized- rrrp $35 . At $35 I would expect this compact to at least have a mirror?? Unfortunately I have dark circles so purple/blue eyeshadow isn't any good to me, I'll give it to a friend who suits these shades- I'm sure it will be enjoyed but for this reason I won't swatch it. 

Colour by TBN lipstick in 'pout those lips girl'-full sized- rrp $3.50. Really pretty grape shade, velvety texture. 

Inika organic black kohl pencil with built in sharpener- full sized- rrp $29. I quite the the control of a pencil liner. The built in sharpener is genius- I'm seemingly always using a blunt pencil despite having multiple sharpeners, this is right where you need it, when you need it. 

6 lifestyle product: 

Glamourflage eye mask- full sized- rrp $7.95. Because lusties are so damned glamorous and Devine that they need a leopard print eye mask in their lives! 

Total value: $85.43

Total cost: $19.95

Highlight:  Inika eye pencil

Lowlight: So Susan eye shadow

Bellabox September 2014 beauty wardrobe

This month's Bellabox is Beauty Wardrobe in conjunction with Gritty Pretty (blogger). It really has a bit of everything for hair, face, nails, tan, makeup- they seemingly achieved the 'wardrobe' theme they were going for. 

The normal blue box was missing causing a 'wardrobe malfunction' cute Pun bellabox. 

First impression: 

(it's such a nice day, I'm posting from the balcony- like my succulents?) 

The Contents: 

Closer:

The card: 

1. Sleek makeup eye dust-(full size) this is really pigmented! Having dark circles I avoid green shades so I prob won't use this- if anyone got the gold and wants to swap? Comment below! The texture and quality of this is pretty good! It's hyper pigmented and really pearlescent. Hard to believe it's by the same company who sent out last months scabby liner! Being full size this already bumps the box into great value territory. See swatches.

2. Salon tan professional face lotion- (full size) this product is designed to be skincare and tan in one- I'm super happy to see it's a little green based meaning it will be neutral not orange. I enjoy a summer tan but do find it tricky to strike a balance on the face, looking forward to trying this out. This is valued at $19.95- this product alone pays for the box! See swatches.

3. Klorane quinine & vitamin b shampoo- it smells a little masculine and is targeted at stimulating hair follicles- seems a little rogaine to me... I Am willing to try it out though as Klorane do a fabulous dry shampoo. 

4. Bioderma sensibio mask- I really enjoy Bioderma products so I will try this out BUT I really am going to question Bellabox profiles here as this is the 2nd month in a row where I have received sensitive skincare and I do not have sensitive skin. I've been a subscriber for a year now and this is the 3rd sensitive skin mask I've received. I will use this it's just tricky to actually find a time when I NEED to use it. Please bellabox- use our profiles!! 

5. Gelogic nail enamel- (full size) black has become a classic shade in the nail polish wardrobe so I'm quite happy with this polish- while I do have a uv light, this gel polish doesn't need one to set making it uber convienient. Claiming to be long wearing and chip resistant- yes please. First coat I was worried as it looked sheer and patchy, second coat it looked perfectly fine. See swatches. 

Bonus: 

Garnier blur- a bit like benefit porefessional or clinique pore minimiser. 

Revlon colour stay foundation- always nice to try a different formula. 

Swatches: 

 So that's everything- all in all a decent box! I thought Sept was Bellaboxes birthday month but no mention of such was made... 

Top picks- 

Highlight: gelogic nail polish 

Lowlight: foundation sachet 

Lust Have It - May 2014 'face focus'

Lust Have It May 2014 collection is called  'face focus' it should be called 'FULL SIZE FOCUS'!! Every single item in this months box is full sized- pretty damn exciting to open and find that!! 

Lust Have It is a beauty subscription service that costs $19.95 per month- for more info click this link waaalahh!! 

Let me show you what was in my box... 

Looked like this: 

To be honest when I first opened it up I thought it looked daggy- the brown and pink tissue circa 2004... All was forgiven and forgotten when the contents was revealed. 

Every product - FULL SIZED! 

So the theme full faced makes sense when you look at what's inside- 

•Coral Colours Eyeshadow quad 

•Coral Colours Eyebrow Pencil
•Mary Kay Lip Lacquer 

•Cosmetic Kitchen Pure Mineral Blush 

•Premium Spa Face and Body Mask

Of course it comes with a card outlying a product description etc- looks like: 

Also there was a 2nd card: 

Because Lust Have It are waiting on 'new packaging' due to there being a missing cosmetic bag a $20 gift card for a discount on a different Lust Have It service has been given- this is really nice of them a good PR and goodwill. I don't mind if there's no additional bag (they seem to breed in your cupboard when your a beauty junkie).  I might have to do a future post on various ways to use these sort of bags up. For what its worth this box was incredible value and they didnt have to do this- though again, nice they did. 

Now for a little breakdown if you want to see more: 

Coral Colours Eyeshadow quad: this 'quartet' as they call it is named 'Vibrant Forest'. Normally I find cheap (rrp $7.95) eyeshadows to give similar results- so time will tell, I will road test these and report back. They appear to have a nice sheen without being too 'frosty'. Also notable is the texture, it is silkier and more pigmented than I expected. 

Coral Colours Eyebrow Pencil: eyebrows are IN in a big way at the moment- if your not doing something to your brows- your missing a step (not really- just figure of speach). This pencil also rrp $7.95 has good depth of colour and glides on. It is better quality than i assumed it would be. Of course long lasting and transfer/ setting will have to be road tested further than a mere swatch.

swatchyswatch!

Mary Kay Lip Lacquer: I'm in love! The shade is 'chai Latte' and for me it is THE perfect nude. Typically I prefer a stick/tube/ wand form for lip products but I can look past the convienience/ laziness for this fine hue! The formula is uber creamy and the finish is creamy semi opaque glossy nude heaven. I recently went to a Mary Kay party and had mixed feelings on the products-for this reason without a beauty box thrsting this product onto my radar I woouldn't have considered buying it- needless to say I'd have missed out. 
The retractable brush comes with it. rrp $22. This is the highlight for me! I'm going to start a monthly favourite post at end of May- be prepared to see this on the list. 

demo! 

Cosmetic Kitchen Pure Mineral Blush: whos heard of this brand before? Not me. But is seems pretty good. Pigment is decent, texture is nice and the power leaves a lovely luninous highlight too. exceuse the swatch if I dusted with a brush you would really see- so I've given a too generous smear... they boast no talc, nano free, no bismuth & cruelty free. rrp $34.95 

Premium Spa Face and Body Mask: I love a mask, I've said it before and I'll say it again. I like the idea of face and body- like a little day spa at home. All about the pampering I will no doubt do a full body mask with this and really give it a good try. This one clams to be purifying, moisturising and calming- just right for the way my skin is reating to the cool snap. The smell reminds me of a day spa or salon as it has that lovely essential oil scent. ahhh... there-it makes sense; ingredients Bergamont, Geranium, Clary sage, Sandalwood & Rosehip all make an appearance. mmm look forward to using this.  

rrp$14.99. 

So thats Lust Have It May 2014 'face focus' - retailed for $19.95 total value recieved $87.84 

Highlight: Lip Lacquer!! 

Lowlight: gun to head- eyeshadow- but its not really a lowlight
