Lust Have It! July 2016

This months Lust Have It! Arrived a little bit later than usual, due to the fact they were still waiting on an item to arrive. The team emailed everyone and told them about this situation which I thought was excellent and not leave everyone wondering where it was.

I must say though, I am so impressed with this months bag. First off, they changed the colour of the bag! Its black! Normally its pink and pretty repetitive and I don't like it really. But I love the black one. Mainly because I love anything black.

This months bag is purely makeup based, which I like. It has one skincare item but thats fine. And everything in this bag is full size too!

Lets start off with the only skincare item, which I feel fits in so well with this bag. Before you put on your makeup you want to have a clean face. So they put in this Essenzza Fuss Free Naturals, The Masquerade Artisan Mask in Cherry Blossom and Argan Oil. What a mouth full. I love Essenzza products and was stoked to get this and I will be using this tonight. Follow my instagram (xobrontie) to see it on!

Retails for $4.95

Okay, this mascara has the most stunning packaging. It kind of reminds me of the Urban Decay Alice Through The Looking Glass Lipstick packaging. The mascara is by Teeez Cosmetics which we have got in the past, and is from the Desert Metals Collection. I will be filming a tutorial using this tomorrow and another product in this post. Oh and its blue!

Retails for $32.50

This eyeshadow is giving me life. I wasn't so excited for it when I saw it but it is soooo creamy! And swatches so well as you can see in the photo. Its the Gosh Cosmetics Matt Duo Eyeshadow Not sure on what exact shade this is though as I can't find anything but its rose toned.

Retails for $14.99

This Jelly Pong Pong Product I feel like I've heard of the brand before. The packaging is very cheap but I might use this as a lip balm as I wouldnt wear this out, as I don't like pinks on me. This was a mystery item so after research this retails for $15.00

Okay. This item confuses me. Its a Blush by MPrincess. How is this a blush when it is so damn orange and shimmery. And as you can see by the size of my hand it is tiny, and it is full size. I'm so confused. But I will use this an eyeshadow. 

Retails for $15.45

Box Retail: $82.90

Lust Have It June 2016

This months bag was mainly skincare based, and though I'm not upset by that, I'm upset by the fact that we got a pretty crap amount of products this month. All products apart from the makeup item were 'deluxe sized' and I don't think this bag was really worth it in my opinion. But heres what I got.

ETC - Edgy Tempting Cosmetics Eyeliner Pen in Grey Blue

So this is the main full size item we got, and I'm not going to use it. I'm picky with my eyeliners and I can tell by looking at them if its going to be creamy, or rough (I've had many years experience with my eyeliner, as I went through an 'emo' phase and wore liner for 2 years straight.) and I can tell by looking at it, its going to be rough. It doesn't look like a fancy brand either, looks like a cheap chemist brand. So I'll be donating this to work next Monday.

Full Size. Retails for $15

Sasy N Savy Peppermint N Rosemary Revive Bath N Shower Gel

THIS SMELLS SOOOO GOOD. Holy cow! I can't wait to use this, probably the only item I am looking forward to using out of the whole thing. I have used Sasy N Savy in the past, can't remember what I thought of the brand though as its probably over a year ago.

Deluxe Size.

Full Size Retails for $35

Neutrogena Deep Clean Exfoliator

I used this ages ago before they changed the formula, it was okay. Not something I'd repurchase though. The new formula might be different so I will be using this.

Deluxe Size

Full Size Retails For $12.99

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Wipes

If you have been following my blog for a while you would know these use to be my holy grail wipes, but I've now moved on from them. I went to use them 10 minutes ago, and this packet is 100% dried out. Not happy. Especially when I have no other way of removing my makeup right now and I have to sleep on white pillows. Cool.

Deluxe Size (I believe you can get these at Chemist Warehouse for like $4)

Full Size Retails For: $12.99

BONUS ITEM

Paula's Choice Resist Intensive Wrinkle Repair Retinol Serum

As soon as I pulled this out of the bag, I knew my Mum would love this. Not only that, this is a pretty good brand. I've never tried it personally, but I hear YouTuber's talk about it all the time.

This is a trial size, but look at how cute the packaging is!

I tried to do some research on how much this would cost. A sample (Which is less than 7ml) is $2 on their site. And the full size (which is 30ml) is $57 So I'm guessing this size would be maybe $10. I'd have no clue though.

Lust Have It! May 2016

This months box was nothing too spectacular. In my opinion. It came with nice things, but its not colours I'd normally reach for. Heres what I got:

Teeez Spectrum Of Stars Shadow in Sea Glare

Without a doubt, this is such a gorgeous shadow and I would buy some more in more wearable shades in a heartbeat. The shade I got is an iridescent shimmery green, and I plan on doing a mermaid inspired look with this shadow, which I will be featuring on my blog soon in a new series coming up.

These Shadows retail for $30.40AUD

Urban Skincare Co. Daily Body Cleanser Sample

I. Loved. This. Stuff. I used it all up in one go and I want more. It smells amazing and a little goes a long way (Half of it went down the sink before I rubbed it in.). It can even be used as a bubble bath, which I bet would be amazing.

The Full Size Retails for $10.00AUD

Lollipops Lip Balm

I have so many lip balms and I don't use them all, so I've given this one to my Aunt. But its a very light pink shade.

This Retails for $5.50 USD (Couldn't find AUD)

StarLooks Pro Felt Tip Liner in Brown

I was in need of a new liner, but in black. But this will do for now. I'm wearing it today and I'm liking it so far. Its a darker brown, rather than a light brown light most liners can be.

This Retails for $19.00 USD (Around $30 AUD)

Protect. Hydrate. Rejuvenate Leave in Moisturiser

My Mum is a lover for items like this so I gave this to her. She said she really enjoyed it and I'm about to buy her more of it.

Lust Have It! April 2016

So, I just got my April LHI and I'm needless to say, I was not impressed.

Not that this is a bad box or anything, I just don't see myself using any of the products in here as I have products way to similar to these or its just not for me.

First off these Soak Shampoo and Conditioners. One is for giving dull hair shine, and the other is for reviving dull hair. It will do nothing for mine as I have a dry scalp and its just not good enough to put on my hair that overreacts to anything.

These sound good. This is the Personail Glamour Nail Polish Strips. And I'm thinking of giving them a go, but knowing me, I'll get frustrated and end up putting them in the bin. They are a Ivory with Lace Detail. These retail for $18

Both of these I'm not going to use. They are both by the brand Marsk. Top one is a basic white eyeliner. Its very creamy, I just don't like to wear white on my lower lash line. The other is an eyebrow pencil, right colour, I just don't fill in my brows. These both retail for $28.95

Lastly is a Manna Kadar Beauty Highlight, Blush and Eyeshadow 3 in 1. And it is CERTAINLY not a blush or highlight. Its too shimmery to be a blush, and too dark on my skintone to be a highlight.

Lust Have It! March 2016

This months bag, I honestly wasn't too impressed with. I'll probably only end up using 3/6 items that came in this months bag, but thats okay. Better than using none at all. I'll start off with the items I dont have photos of.

The first item was a voucher from Hello Fresh Australia. They are - from what I understand - a website where you choose a recipe and they send you the ingredients. Brilliant idea right? The sad thing is they only send to some suburbs in QLD, NSW and VIC, which means I can't use it because I'm a Tasmanian. The voucher (Well its more of a coupon) is for $35, so if anyone reading this wants it, message me on Instagram (@xobrontie) and I'll give you the code. I was selling it, but really, I hardly paid a thing for it so I don't see the point.

The next item is something I gave Mum and shes already lost it. But from Memory it was the body balm everyone got in their bag. I can't remember the name, but it looked like a chapstick and retailed for $20. Mum said a little went a long way which was good.

This is the Seba Med Body and Face Cleanser. To me it looks pretty similar to Cetaphil. which I use daily in the shower, and I'm almost out of it. So this deluxe sized sample will be great to try until I get my hands on another Cetaphil Cleanser.

This eyeshadow brush is by the brand Ruby Which I haven't heard of. This brush is so nice and soft and is made from natural hairs. I can't wait to try this out.

This Be a Bombshell Eyeliner in the shade Bling Bling had me excited at first. But it actually disapointed me. Its rough, not soft at all, and the pigmentation is really lacking. Not to mention the packaging is extremely cheap.

My favorite product in the bag would be this shadow by Glazel Visage in the shade S2. Its a taupe, perfect crease/transition shade, and I'm in love with it. 

I'm sorry I forgot prices and such in this post, I misplaced my information card.

Lust Have It! February Review

This Months Bag, in my opinion. I felt wasn't the greatest. I feel it was filled with samples. Even though it came with some pretty good full sized products, I just feel it could be better.

The bag this month was a different colour too. Same bag, just in red. Which I think they may have done this because of Valentines Day? I can't think of another reason why.

First sample I got was of something I do not need. Shampoo and Conditioner Samples. I have soooo many, I by that I mean there is a drawer in my bathroom vanity filled to the top of samples. Its insane. I probably won't use this as I get a dry and itchy scalp and this isn't suited for those hair types.

Full Size Retails For $5.95

Another sample. This time of The Body Shop's Italian Summer Fig Eau De Toilette. I got this last year in their advent calender and I did not like it one bit. So I'll be passing this along. (AKA Selling this at our Market on the weekend)

Full Size Retails For $36.95

Another Body Shop product is actually something I'm excited for. Its the Vitamin E Moisture Cream and I'm currently using the Vitamin E Night Cream and I'm liking it so far, so I'm assuming this is probably going to be the same.

Full Size Retails For $24.95

I think this bag must of been a collaboration with The Body Shop as there are so many products from them in this bag. All samples though which is pretty sad in my opinion, I'm not a huge fan of samples, because they clutter my collection. But I will use the ones I got in this bag for sure. This product is the Oils Of Life - Intensely Revitalising Facial Oil. And I'm so excited to use this, but I probably wouldn't buy it in full size unless its mind-blowing.

Full Size Retails For $54.95

Finally a Be A Bombshell Product I can actually use. I ended up getting rid of the quad I got a while ago cause to be honest, I'm not going to wear a purple smokey eye on a daily basis. This is their Mascara in the shade Nightfall which is a black. I thought it was going to be a Navy because of the name but its not. I like the packaging too. Its simple and cute.

Retails For $21

This product I decided I'm personally not going to use. Mainly because I don't use hand creams, but also because Mothers Day and my Mum's Birthday is coming up. This hand cream seems really nice though, and the packaging is super cute too. 

Retails For $22.95

This product I'm probably most excited for. Its a Mellow Blush in the shade Bronze. And because its actually matte, it would make the perfect bronzing shade, blush shade or eyeshadow shade. Multi-Purpose Oh Yeah! In the swatch I used a pretty heavy...finger to get the shade and as you can see its not a heavy colour Pay-Off which, for someone like me (Who is pale as crap) is quite nice. I can't wait to use this. Might do a look of the day on my blog using what I have. I haven't done one of those before I don't think.

Retails For $14

Lust Have It January 2016

Better late than never, right?

This month's bag was actually pretty good, and I can see myself using everything that came inside. 3 full size products and 2 deluxe sized samples. Lets get into it!

For the deluxe sized samples we got 2 Skin Yoga products. One being a Almond Orange Face Scrub (Full Size retails at $24) and the other being a Sandalwood Saffron Face Mask (Full Size retails at $24) and out of the two I'm excited to use the face mask. These are both activated by water and the face scrub can be used as a mask. You can buy the deluxe sized samples off the website for $4.20 each, and I'd say you can get, 2 uses maybe 3 out of it. 

The first full size product we got was the Unani Micellar Water - do I need anymore Micellar Water bottles? Probably not. I've got like 4 of them. But I like to try new ones and see which one is the best. A review on my top 5 micellar waters would be interesting...This retails for $22.50 which is rather expensive for a Micellar water seeing as you can get them for around $15 these days.

The two makeup products we got this month are both by the brand Hikari, which I have heard of, but never tried. The first item is the Hikart Blush is in the shade Bikini, which kind of reminds me of Nars' Orgasm blush, but I've never swatched it so I can't compare. The blush is pretty pigmented and retails for $21. The lip crayon is in the shade Mochahitto, which isn't a shade name on the list of what we get on the sheet, so I don't know if they just ran out of options or if its a typo. But its a nice coffee colour. Not sure if it will suit me but we shall see. This retails for $18 

Lust Have It! December Review.

This is Decembers Bag, not last months. I got a tad confused but I'm on the right track now.

This bag came a little bit late and there was a fairly understandable reasoning behind it.

Due to the train accident that happened in Sydney, their stock was on that train. So the bag was about 4 days delayed because of that. And then Christmas/New Years and with Australia Post being closed. But thats all okay cause this bag was probably the best one I have got so far. Lets get into it!

Sasy N Savy Hand Cream RRP: $15- $20 40ML

I don't usually use hand creams as I don't have dry hands, but I occasionally do. But I decided to give this one to my Mum as its very Hydrating and Moisturising and shes always after a good Hand Cream with those qualitys. It smells of an Orchid, I can't describe scents for the life of me but its a very subtle floral scent.

Essenzza Fuss Free Naturals Micellar Mini Wipes RRP: $2.25

Out of all the wipes I have tried in my lifetime, I have never tried Micellar Wipes. And I'm pretty excited to, as I swear by Micellar water to remove my makeup and its the best thing I've come across. I also love the packaging of this product, its adorable.

Be A Bombshell Eyeshadow Quad in London RRP: $22

Oh my Gosh I am so excited to get this. Probably my favourite item in this months bag. I have always wanted to try this brand, more so their lip products, but still this is incredible. The shadows themselves aren't the most pigmented but maybe with a white base under them they might show up more - I'll do a follow up review on this. But I love the packaging too!

Naobay Moisturizing Peeling Brightening Facial Milk Scrub RRP: $27

Can we talk about how cute the tube is? The cap is actually wood (I think). Its adorable and I kinda want to use it as decoration in the bathroom as it matches, yet I want to use it cause it sounds amazing.

Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil RRP: $24.50

I actually have this. I got it in a Bellabox a while back, and I didn't like it. But Mum did. But seeing as we have this shade, and I'm actually doing a swap, I will be giving it to Gaby (GabyRoseBeauty on instagram) in our swap which will be posted towards the end of February.

Total Retail Value: $95.75 - I Paid: $23

I am amazed by this months bag and I cannot rave about it any more. I highly recommend Lust Have It! Though I do not recommend their Customer Service. I'm still waiting to hear back from them. 3 Months and Counting.

I pay for this box with my own money. I am not affiliated with them, and at this stage I do not want to be as their services for emailing is really poorly.

Lust Have It! November Review

This months package didn't take as long as last months, which I was happy about. This months also came with a card sheet stating what is full size, deluxe sized and so on. Which I was also happy about. Lets get into what came inside.

Carefree Ultra Thins 2 Pack

I've stated this, and I'll state it again, I don't often get my period. But its always good to have some lying around in case.

Ulta3 Cream Blush Stick in Pretty Pink

I've never really used a cream blush, only the one that I have from ColourPop, but this one seems easier to blend. 

Full Size RRP: $6.95

Manna Kadar Lip Chubbie in Cupid

I threw out most of my lip chubbies about a year ago and I kinda miss them, but they are hard to find now. So I'm happy I got this one and its a gorgeous shade. I see myself using it alot in summer.

Full Size RRP: $24

Coral Colours Love Lips in Coconut Ice

I really don't need anymore lip balms, I have way too many.

Full Size RRP:6.99

Garnier Miracle Day Cream Sample

I have way too many moisturisers to use, so I'm giving this to my Mum.

Evelyn Iona Concealer

This may be a tad too dark for me but I'm yet to use it yet, but if it is I'll just pass it onto my Mum.

Lust Have It! October

This is it! My first Lust Have It! Unboxing and I must say I am very impressed with it. So lets get right into it!

The Cosmetic Kitchen Peppermint Foot Mask

Eh. To be honest, this is the product i will probably not use out of the whole set. Mainly cause I need Coconut Oil to use it and, that doesn't come cheap. So I might put this aside for swaps etc. Cruelty Free and Vegan. Made in AUS

Retails for: $14.95

Hair&Me Hair Rejuvenation Treatment

I've been wanting to try one of these for a while and was considering buying one from NKD  but now I don't have to! I hope it works as I have dry itchy scalp and not many things work. But I'm willing to give it a go! 100% Aussie Made and Cruelty Free.

Retails for: $19.95

Bioderma Soothing Cream

Eh. Nothing too exciting. I have so much Bioderma products I have tried so its nothing new. But I will use it.

Lust Have It's Own Highlighter in Sunset Strobe

This is one thing I'm most excited for. I've been getting big on highlighters lately and I wanted a powder one and this one is perfect! Its gorgeous and kinda reminds me of Mary-Lou. This product is Made in Australia, Vegan Friendly, Cruelty Free and All Natural.

(Selling on Ebay for around $12) 

Atkins Chocolate Coconut Bar

Eh. Not huge on coconut. But I may eat it. I'm not sure.

Ofra Lip Liner in Wine

I would've thought Wine would be a red colour, but whatever. I love this lipliner, already used it and its Ofra!
