June 2014 Lust Have It Women's Box

The Lust Have It Women's Beauty Box subscription costs $19.95 per month* and contain 5 - 6 deluxe beauty items.  The subscription is delivered for free to your door and regularly contains approximately $60.00 worth of products!  June's Lust Have It Women's Box brought the return of their new packaging, a makeup bag. The subscription came late again unfortunately however they have promised us that they have already started with shipping the July bag!  The bag was quite similar to last time so I am hoping they change it up this time.

 Every month you get a card with the products you have received and how much the full size is worth.

 1.  Teeez Trendy Cosmetics - Head Over Heels Nail-Lacquer

Cost:  RRP per 7ml is $18.  I got a full size sample!

This month members got the chance to choose a Teez product they wanted, either an eyeliner or a nail polish.  Because I receive my subscription to review I got a surprise :)  I got a nail polish in the colour Carmine Craze which is a beautiful shimmery burgundy colour.  I don't really paint my nails a whole lot and if I do I do a neutral colour.  But I painted my Mum's nails and she loved this polish!

2.  John Plunkett - Glyco Peel

Cost:  RRP per 15ml is $29.95.  I got a full size sample!

I haven't tried this baby yet... I know I know I'm behind :)  It's the type of product that's right down my alley though so I can't wait to try it.  Let me know if you want a review on this bad boy - gotta love the fact it's full sized too!

 

3.  La Roche Posay - Effaclar Duo

Cost:  RRP per 40ml is $27.95.  I got a 3ml sample which is worth $2.10.

 This was the first thing from the box I tried and I HATED it!  It dried me out within two uses of the product and over the next week different areas of my face slowly fell off (eww... sorry for the gross TMI).  This was the product I was looking forward but ended up really disappointed!  Still it would be a great sample for someone it did work on... just not for me unfortunately.

4.  Orly Nail File & Toe Separators

Cost:  RRP for Nail File is $1.65 & for Toe Separators is $4.95.  Both full size samples!

The big red stickers say it all on these products - FREE with every 2 ORLYmini polishes.  I may or may not use these... but they are a gift with purchase not really a full size sample.  That said the mini nail files are really cute!!

5.  Nuxe - Creme Nirvanesque
Cost:  RRP per 50ml is $49.99.  I got a 2ml sample which is worth $2.00.
and Creme Nirvanesque Eye Contour

Cost:  RRP per 15ml is $44.99.  I got a 15ml sample which is worth $6.00.

 Sample packets don't do it a whole lot for me...  that said I will use these creams, probably when I've had a bad day and feel like pampering myself.  Not much else to say about these.

BONUS - $30 Hello Fresh Gift Card

I was really excited about this gift card until I logged into their website and realised they only deliver to Sydney, Brisbane & Melbourne.  So this is useless to half of Lust Have It users.  I almost think it would've been worth targeting this sample to only those in the areas that it can be used.  That's a lot of gift cards wasted!

That aside it's a great idea and I might give it to my Mum to see what it's like!  Wish I could use it... it would be a great post for my other blog.
 

And those were the contents of my June 2014 Lust Have It subscription!

Total Box Value = $64.65

(not including the $30 giftcard as I couldn't use it)

And now here is the exciting bit!  If YOU would like $5.00 off your first month's Lust Have It Women's Beauty Box simple enter the code THINKAPRIL at the checkout and your first bag will only cost you $14.95!!  WOOHOO - BARGAIN :)

Overall this hasn't been my favourite month of Lust Have It and so I look forward to seeing if they redeem themselves with July's bag.  It's the first month that I've been a bit iffy about the bag so hopefully they pick up on their game!  I'm already excited about the sneak peek they've given - everyone gets a mineral eyeshadow in their box, something I've never tried!

April 2014 Lust Have It Women's Box - UPDATED VERSION

I was so excited to try the Lust Have It beauty subscription box (or should we now say bag?) and when this arrived at my door I dropped everything and grabbed my camera.  I have been subscribed to Bella Box for a few months are really love the concept of not only a surprise every month but also being able to try out new products.  I had checked out Lust Have It's Facebook page and seen a few sneak peeks and couldn't wait to dig in!

The Women's Beauty Box subscription costs $19.95 per month* and contain 5 - 6 deluxe beauty items.  The subscription is delivered for free to your door and regularly contains approximately $60.00 worth of products!

You get the usual card which contains the items you received and what they cost.  And they have recently updated their packaging which means instead of the usual box subscription services provide, we get a makeup bag.  I really like the new packaging as it is something I will definitely use as you can never have too many makeup bags!

1.  Glamourflage Jane Gem Face Primer

Cost: RRP per 8.5ml is $22.95.  Full Size Sample! 

I was really excited to get this full size sample having seen pictures on their facebook page.  I had never tried the brand before but you expect quality for the price it is worth.  This primer seems very unique with a nail polish type bottle which is a tad unusual and I don't really think it's necessary as I use my fingers to work my primer in anyway.  I have used this primer a few times and it keeps my makeup on all day at work which is just what I want!

2.  Claytime 100% Pure Mineral Bronzer

Cost: RRP per 3g is $29.95.  Full Size Sample! 

There was a lot of controversy surrounding this bronzer not being full size but it seems that it is a special edition that Claytime brought out for Lust Have It.  I don't use bronzers very often but wanted to try some new ones so was really happy to receive this one.  This bronzer is too shimmery to double as a contour but I really enjoy the natural glow it gives.  I might save this one for Spring/Summer :)

 3.  Bioderma Atoderm Creme

Cost:  RRP per 200ml is $29.95.  I got a 15ml sample which is worth $2.25.

I have seen Bioderma circulating beauty boxes a lot recently and so far have enjoyed everything I have used.  I really enjoy using face creams and so this is a nice addition to my skin care collection.  am really enjoying this so far!

4.  Wotnot Facial Wipes for Oily/Sensitive Skin

Cost:  RRP per 25 wipes is $7.95.  I got 5 wipes which are worth $1.59

I received these wipes in my March Bella Box as well as receiving them for free from their facebook page.  I will use these wipes and really enjoy them like I did last time.  You can never have too many facial wipes! :)

 5.  Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion

Cost:  RRP per 225ml is $9.95.  I got a 29ml sample which is worth $1.28.

 I have received Aveeno lotion as a free sample quite a lot recently but this was a nice little surprise as it came in a bottle instead of a foil packet.  This means I can take this in my handbag and I will get a few uses out of it.  I like this lotion, it's nothing special but is a good one to have.

 

And those were the contents of my April 2014 Lust Have It subscription!

Total Box Value = $58.02

(And that doesn't even include the value of the makeup bag!)

And now here is the exciting bit!  If YOU would like $5.00 off your first month's Lust Have It Women's Beauty Box simple enter the code THINKAPRIL at the checkout and your first bag will only cost you $14.95!!  How cool is that?! :)

Overall I was really happy with my first Lust Have It box and I can definitely see what all the hype is about.  I love how there was 2 full size products both being makeup items and the fact that I will use everything in my bag!
