Final GlossyBox and First Lust Have It Box!!

As a lot of you might know by now the Australian GlossyBox has been taken over by the folks at Lust Have It!

I received my last GlossyBox just before I went to Bali and was extremely impressed by the contents which made me feel a little sad that I'd no longer be receiving my beautiful pink boxes.

Here is what I got;

I'm going to miss these boxes! They are great for storage.

Jurlique Intense Recovery Mask 15mL up to $90 for 125mL
(~$11 value for 15mL)

Lapurete Protective Day Creme $59.95 for 30mL (~$30 value at 15mL)

Nivea Express Hydrating Lotion up to $7.99 for 400mL (~0.60c value)

Everescence Organic Hair Care Organic Moroccan Argon Oil
$39.90 for 100mL (~$2 value)

YSL Forever Youth Liberator Deluxe Serum $120 for 30mL (~$20 value)

Overall value = $63.60AUD 

I was so excited to receive the YSL Serum, I read this is amazing and apparently there is even a wait-list overseas for it. This is really nice to use, it feels incredible and makes my skin feel amazingly smooth. I wish I could justify buying the full size but it's never going to happen!

The Jurlique mask excited me too and so did the Lapurete day creme. I thought the mini argon oil and the Nivea cream would be great for travelling.

This box definitely impressed me and I thought it was a great send-off from GlossyBox. 

Since the merge I think Lust Have It! have done a really good job taking on all the ex-glossies, they have kept up good communication throughout the process as well as taking payments and sending out the first boxes very promptly. Glossybox had a big problem with sending out their boxes on time so I'm glad Lust Have It! has things under control.

Here is what I got in my first Lust Have It! Pack - I'm a little sad that it doesn't come in a pretty re-useable box like Glossy did but the cute makeup bag is a good substitute.

Really cute hot pink bag!!

So many goodies!!

Evo The Therapist Calming Shampoo & Conditioner $29.95 for 300mL
(~$5 for 50mL each).

Lush Lust Soap $6.95 for 100g (~$not sure of weight)

Caron Laboratories Bump eRaiser Medi Paste $16.75 for 30mL (full size)

Bioderma Crealine H2O Makeup Remover $39.95 for 250mL (~$3.20 value)

Nicole by OPI Nail Polish Mini $14.95 for 15mL (~$3.75 value)

ModelCo Gloss Showgirl Red $18 (full size)

Calvin Klein Sheer Beauty Perfume Sample $80 for 50mL (~$2 value)

Overall value = ~$60AUD

I was very excited to see the Bioderma Makeup Remover as I have heard really good things about it. I also love getting perfume samples and CK perfumes are my favourite so I was happy to see Sheer Beauty in here.

Lust Have It! has really impressed me so far, the samples in the first box were great and the customer service so far has been a great improvement. I really look forward to seeing what they do with the future bags and if they might bring in a pretty box!

Were you guys Glossy members? What do you think of the transfer?

A Little Bit of Love: Valentine's Day Glossy Box

I usually receive my GlossyBox around the end of the month so I was pleasantly surprised when I received this little baby on Valentine's Day!!

This GlossyBox was all about Valentine's Day. It was packaged in a blindingly hot pink box (different from the usual light pink - which I prefer) with pink and white sparkly filling. All the products are supposed to be about making you feel good and look good this Valentine's Day. 

Blinded yet???

Proactiv Deep Cleansing Wash 60mL ($39.95/475mL)

Spongeables Heart - full size ($9)

e.l.f. lip gloss - full size ($3.99)

Langlois Natural Olive Lip Balm - full size ($7.95)

Star and Rose Floral Wonderland Emergency Nail Files (price not given)

YUMMYYYYY

The first thing in the GlossyBox I noticed was the Shower Gel in a Sponge. It looks so interesting! It says it cleanses, exfoliates, massages and moisturisers and lasts 20+ showers. I am interested to see if it does what it claims, it smells very floral and sweet. This retails for $9 and I think they would make great little gifts!

I was also very excited to receive the Proactiv Deep Cleansing Wash (60mL) sample as I have always been curious to try Proactiv but always thought it was too expensive and I didn't know if it would work for my skin. 

There was two lip products in my box this month. An ELF Super Glossy Lip Shine in Wild and a Langlois Natural Olive Lip Balm in Strawberry. I was excited to see an ELF product as I have heard so many good things about them on youtube. However, I do think its a little out of place in a supposed luxury beauty box service. The Langlois lip balm is super nice. It says it is 60% Virgin Olive Oil which I found interesting. It feels really good on the lips and very moisturising. 

The last thing in my box was some mini emergency nail files from Star and Rose. These are so tiny and perfect for your handbag! Oooo and they included some love heart candies, which I lurveeeeeee!

At first I was a bit disappointed with this box, it was extremely hyped up being a "limited edition" box and I had seen that others got a Bobbi Brown mascara which I would have loved as I am a mascara fiend! However, going through the all items again I am pretty happy with it as I know it will all be used.

Were you happy with your box?? How was everyone's Valentine's Day?

January Glossy Box

I can't believe January is over already, I mean it feels like just yesterday that it was Christmas time! Crazyness

So I received my Glossy Box this past week and thought I would share with you what was inside in case you guys are still umming and ahhing about subscribing to one of these beauty box services.

I know there was a lot of people complaining on Facebook about their box taking a long time to arrive, seeing as it is supposed to come mid-month and did not get here until this week but I didn't really mind too much. Being in Perth it tends to take a while for packages to come and since I knew it was on it's way it didn't bother me too much that it arrived towards the end of the month. Plus they are still a relatively new company here so I expect some kinks with the system.

This was my second Glossy Box and as I was really impressed with December's box (read my post here) I was excited to see what they would include this month. I have to say I wasn't as impressed as December but still think it's a great selection of products.

Enough rambling from me, here is what it included...

Nivea Rich Nourishing Body Moisturiser 30mL ($5.40/250mL)

Sheer Cover Nourishing Moisturiser 30mL ($29.95/60mL)

Sheer Cover Lipgloss ($19.95/2.5g)

Kosmea Daily Facial Exfoliant 20g ($39.95/125g)

Mirenesse Tight Liner Hydra Gel Eye Liner  ($29.95/2g)

Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi

The stand-out product from this box is definitely the full-size Mirenesse Hydro Gel Eye Liner. Although it's definitely more of a liquid liner in felt tip form. I received mine in a gorgeous dark navy blue colour called Saphire Blue. It's so dark that it looks black but when it catches the light you can definitely tell its a navy blue colour. 

I am also eager to try the Kosmea Daily Facial Exfoliant. It says you can use it as either a daily exfoliator or keep it on longer for a deep cleanse. I've never heard of this brand before but its natural and Australian made so what's not to like.

Also in the box were two products from the brand Sheer Cover, a full size lipgloss in Pink Praline and a facial moisturiser with SPF15. I'm not all that impressed with the lip gloss, mostly because I don't like glosses in pot form as I don't like to get my fingers dirty but the moisturiser is quite nice. It's a very lightweight formula which reminds me a lot of a Shiseido moisturiser I use to use for years. 

The Nivea moisturiser wasn't all that exciting but is a handy travel size so it will get used. 

Also included was a $25 gift voucher for clothing store The Iconic - which I have already used to purchase these awesome leggings. There was also a $5 off discount code to use for Glossy Box Man, which I probably won't be using as Blake's not one for metrossexualism lol

Ooo and last but not least there was some Ozzie Day temporary tattoos, which sadly I didn't get to use as our Oz day was quite low key considering the 41 degree weather!

Have you subscribed to a beauty box yet?? What did you get this month?

Merry Xmas/Happy New Year with a touch of GlossyBox

Hey lovelies,

Sorry I have been absent once again but you know how the holiday season can get. We have had friends and family staying with us for the past three weeks so I haven't had much time to blog. But I'm slowly getting back into the routine of everyday life which will mean more posts. 

So around the beginning of December I subscribed to my first of the Australian beauty box services. I'm sure your all familiar with these boxes by now but just in case there are some of you that aren't they are a monthly subscription that come with around 5 samples ranging from haircare, makeup, skincare and perfume. 

I subscribed to GlossyBox which is $14.95 a month and contains 5 luxury sized samples. It comes in a really pretty pink box with a note telling you about each product and how much the full size product costs. 

I got my first box mid december and was really impressed with what was inside. 

The first thing I was super excited about was the 2 samples of the new Calvin Klein perfume, Forbidden Euphoria. CK One is my everyday perfume and I love the CK Summer perfume they come out with each summer so I knew I would love this one and I did. I have already used up both samples! haha 

The next item was a 30mL sample of John Frieda's Frizz-Ease. I thought this was a good sized sample and have already used it a couple of times. I don't tend to have overly frizzy hair but this is a nice finishing product to keep my hair in place for longer.

I thought it was a little weird to have a sunscreen in the box but I really do need to use it more often so it's handy to have this on my makeup bench to remind me. 

The next item is actually a full sized product. It is a lip pencil by the brand Gorgeous Cosmetics in the colour Entourage. I'd never heard of the brand before so it was nice to be introduced to a new makeup brand. The colour is a nudey brown colour which is perfect as I know it will be used. I haven't used it yet but from swatching it the pencil is really creamy. 

The last was another full-sized product by the haircare brand Bed Head. I thought this was a really generous addition to the box as you get a tonne of product and it retails for $23.95AUD. It is a texturiser which is supposed to add volume and hold your hair in place. I haven't tried this yet but it smells great and I have heard good things about the brand.

They also included a candy cane! How cute haha

I know some of you are probably sick of these posts but I thought I would write it anyway for those of you who are interested. I love seeing what other people get in their boxes.

What did you guys do for new years/christmas?? Are you subscribed to any of these beauty boxes?
