Lust Have It November 2015

Afternoon lovelies!

As i said at stupid o'clock this morning, my LHI box was on its way, and it has arrived.  LHI have had a few business changes, boxes have gone up by $2.95 a month for postage, and all shipping emails and payment emails are being handled electronically.  Which means we're getting info as it happens, and there's less chance of human error.

It's great to see our boxes before the end of the month!

 Bonus extras.  The 4 teabags that were supposed to be in sept box, and a couple of carefree pads.

 The rest of the box.  3 full size makeup items, 1 deluxe sample size makeup and a skincare sample.

 Manna Kadar Lip Chubbie-rrp $24-full size

Our sneak peek.  Mine's in the colour xoxo, which is a lovely plum.  These contain a primer and vit a and e, so they should last a decent amount of time and be moisturising.  I love this type of thing, and i haven't got one this colour, so i love this.

 Coral Colours Love Lips-rrp $6.99-full size

Mine's peach sorbet, and smells of coconut.  It's quite pigmented, and goes on nice and smoothly.

 Evelyn Iona Natural and Organic concealer-rrp $19.80-deluxe sample

I've received this previously in a Violet Box, and i still haven't tried it!  Maybe this is the push to do so.

 Ulta3 Cream Blush Stick-rrp $6.95-full size

Mine's in bold apricot, which in stick form looks really, really bright, but the swatch is lovely.  It looks like it should blend beautifully, and should be perfect for summer.

Garnier Miracle Day Cream-rrp $19.99-sample size

Meh!  It supposedly is a breakthrough formula, yadda, yadda.  It'll get used, just not overly excited about it.

Manna lip chubbie, coral colours lip love, evelyn iona concealer, ulta3 blush

It isn't the highest value box ever, but I'll use everything in it, and the colours aren't ones i already own 20 of, which is brilliant.

What do you think?  What colours did you get?

Priceline 40% off haul

Morning lovelies!  

It's 3.15am here, and for some reason I'm wide awake.  I think it might be the restless toddler next to me.  

Anyway, last week Priceline had 40% off all cosmetics  (as if you didn't know that already!).  My bb cream is almost finished, so i headed in to grab a new one.

I ended up grabbing the Savvy by db BB cream.  I don't mind the texture, but the light's a bit too light.  It might yet be stored away for winter when i don't have much of a tan.

And then there's the rest!

One of the first things i noticed in store were the sets of mini Australis Velourlips.  They're something I've wanted to try, but haven't wanted to fork out for 1 big tube, so these are perfect.  There were 3 different sets, a nudes and pinks, a darks and this one, which is brights.  They're normally $14.99 per set, but with the sale they came down to just under $9.  

Then, of course, i headed around to the Essence section.  There are a couple of new lip products in the Essence line up, and the Priceline i went to had both.  So introducing the liquid lipstick and the sheer and shine lipstick.  The liquid lipstick is on the higher end of Essence pricing at $4.99, and sheer and shine lipstick is the same price as the normal range.

All up this lovely little haul cost around $18, which i think is great for what i got.

I'm off to see if i can get back to sleep (mr monster has settled back down).  I have a little more playing to do and I'll write up some posts on my thoughts of the lip products (plus there's a lhi bag in the post, and 2 products I'm trialling.  It's a huge time here atm).

Talk to you soon!

Lust Have It Oct 2015

Afternoon all!

Well, as you can see, LHI were more on the ball last month.  Boxes were actually sent before the end of the month!  They made the executive decision to send the box without 2 of the products that were scheduled to appear in Oct, and instead subbed in 2 of the products from Nov (that had rocked up early).

Back to pink!

Nearly all fulled sized this month, with a bonus treat.

Hair and Me Hair Rejuvenation Treatment-$19.99-full size

I'm supposed to have written a nice long review about this already, but I really have mixed feelings about the product.  I'm going to use this one up, then write the review.

Bioderma Sensibio Light-$32.99-sample size

This is for sensitive and intolerant skin, is supposed to help soothe it.  I must admit i'm slightly over seeing Bioderma in boxes, but at least this is a different product.

Flormar Nail Enamel-$12-full size

The info card (which was emailed this month due to the sudden change in products) says this is supposed to be a mix of nail care, showing things like nail oils etc.  But the couple of blog posts i've seen are nail colours?  So the value might be different.  This was one of the substituted products, and it's a very pretty silver, perfect for Christmas.

Flormar Supershine Lipstick-????-full size

This is the second substitute.  The card doesn't even give this as an option (all it says is a mix of products, then lists the possibilities.  This lipstick variety is not listed), and as for price it says $30-$50 (although Flormar online seems a lot cheaper).  But i'm so happy i got a lipstick, and it's a lovely colour (a shimmery coral), perfect for summer.  It smells lovely, too, orange-y and biscuity.   Yum!

Lust Have It Highlighter Compact-$29.95-full size

I haven't seen LHI come out with their own product in ages!  This is a lovely highlighter, in the colour Sunset Strobe. It's a really natural peachy-gold, so it's going to give a nice subtle highlight.  Plus the compact has a nice big mirror.

Bonus-Atkins Chocolate Candies

Yum, chocolate

Skin Magic Tea-this was supposed to the the 5 missing from the Sept box, however it's only 1-again!

Highlighter swatch and lipstick

Well, what a mixed box!  The highlighter is lovely, the hair treatment i'm on the fence about, and the Flormar i'm not quite sure about yet (online it comes across as a very cheap brand, so quality is yet to be seen).  But with only the highlighter and the treatment the box is worth over double what i paid, so i'm still happy with it.

What do you think?  What mixed Flormar product did you get?
