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.

Bellabox July Review 2015

So my Bellabox for this month arrived a little late. 5 days late. Normally it takes 2 days to arrive from Melbourne, but this time it took 5 days. Which to be honest annoyed me a little bit, but I'm just glad I got it in the end. And this months box is pretty good and I see myself using...well everything. Let's get into it!

Proactiv+ Complexion Perfection Hydrator

Lightweight Moisturiser, suitable for all skin types.

I'm pretty excited to recieve this, I mean come on, its Proactiv, and this stuff is expensive. And my God, Its a pretty decent sized container too. 1 FL OZ to be exact. I'm super excited to use this and there will be a review on this in the future.

Full Size Retails At: $60.00 (89ml)

Palmolive Body Polish Shower Gel

Delicious exfoliating body wash

Delicious? Um, yes. This stuff smells so good and smells like berries. It also contains real berry seeds as part of the exfoliation beads which is pretty neat. I'll be taking this away on my Melbourne adventure when I travel there next month.

Full Size Retails At: $6.79 (400ml)

MOR Hand Cream

This was this months bonus gift, and I'm kind of jealous of everyone else as they got an Essie polish (-cries-) Not that MOR is a bad brand I haven't used them to be honest and I know they are good when it comes to hand creams and body butters. Its just....I'm an Essieholic.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub

Gentle daily scrub...healthier-looking complexion.

This is a pretty decent sized exfoliator (in my opinon). And I can't wait to use it.

Full Size Retails At: $12.99

Neutrogena Make-Up Remover Cleansing Towlettes

A perfect travel bag accessory

I agree Bellabox team. This is a perfect travel bag accessory. I actually wanted travel makeup wipes, but haven't been able to find them anywhere. So to get them in my Bellabox is actually great. And theres 7 wipes in there which is the perfect amount.

Full Size Retails At $7.99

Model Co Shadow Sticks (St Bart)

Newly launched eyeshadow stick

You all know how I feel when it comes to ModelCo. I don't think they are that great and use too many chemicals in their products. But from testing this product out on my hand, I rather like it so far. But I have used shadow sticks before that stain on the lids so will this one also stain my lids? We will find out and I will get back to you all on that.

So thats my Bellabox for this month. I do know that in the next Bellabox they are collaborating with Max Factor which is super exciting and I can't wait to see which makeup product they feature next month.

Empties #2

Time for another 'shit I'm throwing out' post. Just incase any of you were curious as to what I am throwing in my bin this week.

 First item thats going in the bin is my old eyelash curler that I just bought at Daiso. Nothing too special about it. I have naturally curled lashes so I don't often use my curler too regularly and this was just getting old and I need a replacement.

 

All of these lipsticks either make my teeth more yellow than they are, or have no colour pay off and thats the reason why I am throwing them out.

 

I've had this for about a year and its just gone rock hard. As you can see in the picture you can see where I've forced my nail into it. Into the bin eyeliner.

 

I got this about 2 months ago to do one job, sharpen the pencils. It broke one cause its just not a very smooth operating sharpener.

 

Finally onto products I've actually used. I used this Moisturizing Day Cream by Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula and one it smelt delightful and two it left my skin feeling so good.

 

I had a love hate relationship with this mascara as you can read from my review here. The top lash mascara was difficult to use, and the lower lash mascara was easier to use. It has started to go clumpy so I'm throwing it out.

 

I am in love with this mascara. Its hands down one of my favourites by Essence just behind the (Big Lash Effect?) You can read my review on it here.

 

This product came in my first ever bellabox and to be honest...I tried using it but I'm just not feeling it. It tastes like crap and the colour just isn't pink enough. Its too red.

 

These are my Holy Grail wipes. I buy them all the time and will most likely buy them again. (Unless WotNot is cheaper....)

 

I was sorting through my drawers one day and found this, I had honestly forgot I had it. These wipes are fantastic, and - actually I did a review on them, here ya go

So there! Thats all the junk I'm throwing in the bin.
