FAB Box - August 2014

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 08 Sep 2014 09:58:00 +0000

I'm an accessories whore. I love a good necklace or earrings. It's no surprise I have over 100 pieces of costume jewellery. I was really excited to give the FAB (fashion and beauty) box by Lust Have It a go.

This box is $29.95 per month. I stalked it out on Instagram before signing up and couldn't find much. I think the price per month may scare a few people away.

And I think it may scare me away also.

Here is the FAB Box for August 2014 (which arrived sep 5th.... Not a good start hey).....

What's in the box:

The same cards as the Lust Have It box for this month. Straight to the bin.

Butter London : Lovely Jubbly Nail Lacquer - RRP $22.00 - FULL SIZED

I know I'm a tight arse but there's no way I would spend $22 on a nail polish and I don't think I could be converted by this disco ball. I do love a bit of glitter though and so do my kids :)

Butter London : British Racing Green Nail Lacquer - RRP $22.00 - FULL SIZED

I'm really not a fan of this colour! I think it will look like mould......

Butter London : Crumpet Nail Lacquer - RRP $22.00 - FULL SIZED

I actually truly love this colour. Such a staple for everyone out there. I'll ise this a lot.

LHI Accessories : Spring Crystal Bracelet - RRP $29.95 - FULL SIZED

This is a very beautiful, delicate bracelet. Great way to jazz up a black dress (especially when teamed with the necklace).

LHI Accessories : Spring Crystal Pendant - RRP $19.95 - FULL SIZED

I think this pendant is absolutely stunning. It's such a shame that both items of jewellery can be purchased for a quarter of their apparent LHI RRP.

I give this box 4/10.

I really don't know what to think about this box. I really love the jewellery but I don't spend much on costume jewellery.

I'm committed for 3 months and then I'll decide if I'm staying or going.

Do you get this box? What are your thoughts?

Bella Box - August 2014 Box

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 21:07:00 +0000

The day after my Lust Have It box arrived my Bella box arrived. I feel a bit sorry for Bella Box because it's automatically being compared to Lust Have It.

Guess they shouldn't have taken 24 days to send it! (They take the money out the first week of the month - standard practice)

Bella Boxes have many different versions unlike LHI. A theme is presented with five or so product possibilities for your box. You're guaranteed to get at least one. I got 3 (I think). Check it out:

My Bella Box has a value of approx $26.00. This box costs $15.00 per month.

So what have we got here:

Eco Tools : Detailed Lip Brush. RRP $8.99 - FULL SIZED.

Awesome a brush to use with my apples lip product - no more pink fingers. Was extra happy to see it has a lid! I can keep it in my handbag :)

Wotnot : Facial Wipes. RRP $7.95 - Sample of 5 wipes.

Gee wotnots - how about a full sized sample of this cheap product (compared to the rest in the box). 100% natural ingredients. Used one last night and it was lovely and soft, best of all it didn't sting and my skin felt moisturised.

Avene : Extremely Gentle Cleanser. RRP $30.99 - Sample.

No rinse cleanser. I will be regifting this (not my thing - I'll have a sneaky go first though, just incase)

OGX : Nourising Coconut Milk Shampoo & Conditioner. RRP $17.99 each - Sample x 2.

Adds strength and elasticity to hair. I LOVE coconut - love love love! This is heading to a friend though :( I'm only allowed to use purple shampoo and a deep conditioner - I don't want to mess with my hairdresser.

Maybelline : Color Show Nail Lacquer (Vernis). RRP $5.95 - FULL SIZED.

I've only started wearing brighter colours on my finger nails the last year. This colour is awesome. It dried very quickly. Rapt with this.

So there you have my Bella Box for the month. Disappointing compared to other months but not enough to make me unsubscribe (it would take a lot for that to happen! It's a $15 box of surprise - I love it).

I give this months box 5/10

Lust Have It - August 2014 Bag

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 09:59:00 +0000

My first ever Lust Have It bag! And it just so happens to be their birthday box - hooray!

I had used the $5 off your first box code for this bag, so it cost me $14.95. You can get a bag for $4.95 via this link: http://www.lusthaveit.com.au/index.php/womens-box-freebox.html

Let's have a look at the bag and it's contents......

4 full sizes products in there! Yep, FOUR! I am really rapt with what I received. For $14.95 you really cannot go wrong during birthday month.

Let's have a breakdown of what we have:

Eleven Australia : Miracle Hair Treatment. RRP $24.95 - FULL SIZED

A lightweight leave in treatment. Really looking forward to giving this a go - especially as I'm currently sitting in the hairdressers dying my hair black to blonde - my hair is going to NEED it! The smell is lovely, a bit coconutty.

Essenzza Fuss Free Naturals : Facial Cleansing Wipes (refresh). RRP $6.95 (+$2.50 for the mini pack) - FULL SIZED

So excited about the mini pack that came with these wipes - perfect size for my gym bag. I don't currently use wipes but I will give them a go.

BioElixia : Bodyshaper Stretch Mark Diminishing Cream. RRP $39 - FULL SIZED

Surely I'm not the only one that's been sucked in to these products before with no success. My stretch marks are quite white thankfully, so I may pass this on to a mummy friend.

Bioderma : Crealine H20. RRP $29.99 - Deluxe Sample Size

From what I read this is a cleanser and make up remover in one which acts as a skin balancer. Correct me if I'm wrong. These sorts of products always worry me because I tend to break out. It states it's good for sensitive skin so I'll happily try it. Unfortunately no instructions on the packaging or the product info sheet.

Marsk : Eyeshadow Brush Pro-line. RRP $28.95 - FULL SIZED

Ah my favourite brush size! Cannot wait to add this into my collection.

There was lots of discount flyers for fashion stores and a free trial card from quickflix (I've straight away given this away). And Let's not forget about the bright pink bag it all came within :)

Have you received your delivery yet? What are your thoughts?

I give this bag 9/10 - the only improvement would be some make up, but hey can't complain!
