Lust Have It August Box Review

Lust Have It are an Australian beauty sample subscription company. I subscribed on and off to their Women's Beauty Box which costs $19.95 AUD per month, for at least 5 beauty samples.

August was Lust Have It's birthday box so I have been looking forward to seeing what I was going to get, since usually companies do something more special for their anniversary editions. Sadly I didn't get my box until the 1st of September but I guess it was only a day late.

What was is my box:

BIO ELIXIA Body Shaper Stretch Mark Diminishing Cream (RRP $39 AUD for 125ml) Full sized product
I do have a few stretch marks (I've had a baby) so I will be using this product. To be honest I don't think my stretch marks are that noticeable (my partner told me that he didn't even think I had any). I wonder if this cream will do anything to reduce scars which is something I am a bit more concerned about since I have recently had surgery.

ELEVEN AUSTRALIA Miracle Hair Treatment (RRP $24.95 AUD for 125ml) Full sized product
This was the sneak peek product for the birthday box, and lots were subscribers were excited about this treatment. I do not buy many many hair products, so the only time I use hair treatments is if I have received one in a subscription box. I am kind of interested in seeing what this product like to see what all the fuss it about.

ESSENZZA FUSS FREE NATURALS Facial Cleansing Wipes (RRP $6.95 AUD for 25 wipes, RRP $2.50 AUD for mini wipe packs) Full sized pack and mini wipe pack
I like getting facial cleansing wipes for those moments when I can not be bothered doing a full cleansing routine, or when I am wearing waterproof make up.Essenzza's wipes are parabens or sulphates free, which is appealing to me. These wipes are textured on one side so these sound different to most other wipes in the market.

BIODERMA Crealine H20 (RRP $29.99 AUD for 250ml) Sample size
This cleaning solution seems to be very popular among beauty bloggers so I am glad that I have finally received a sample of this product. I am looking forward to trying this out.  


MARSK Eyeshadow Brush Pro-Line (RRP $28.95 AUD) Full sized product
I always get excited about receiving make up brushes in subscription boxes, especially since I don't have much of a collection at the moment. This brush feels a bit light, but I am sure I will be using this a lot in the future.

There were also bonus discount vouchers that were included in the August box. 

Verdict:
I think the the August box was great value and I will be using every item that was included except for the vouchers. Most of the items are full sized products and in turn I think I got great value for the $19.95 that I paid for this box. This is not an outstanding box to me but I think it is a good box.

I have unsubscribe to Lust Have It at the moment. I just feel like I have so many products and samples that I need to get through.

Disclaimer:
I brought this box with my own money and therefore my opinion is my own. 

Lust Have It July 2014 Beauty Box Review

Lust Have It is a Australian beauty sample subscription box service. For the last year I have been subscribing on and off to their Women’s beauty box. For the price of $19.95 a month including delivery subscribers receive 5-7 deluxe samples.  

WHAT WAS IN MY BOX:

CATWALK BY TIGI Session Series Styling Cream (RRP $29 AUD for 150ml) Full size product

To be honest I don’t really use styling products in my hair, since I am a stay at home parent I don’t often feel the need to. I’m not that excited to see this product but since I have it now I’m sure I will make use of it. I do think it smells wonderful, so that is a plus.

MARSK Mineral Eye Shadow (RRP $24.95 AUD for 1.2g) Full size product

The was the item that Lust Have It allowed their subscribers to choose the colour of, and I chose the golden shade ‘Rich List’. I really like the change that Lust Have It has made to allow people to choose which item they would prefer. I have to admit I am not a big wearer of eye shadow, so I am not sure if I will wear this or pass it on to someone else. I just chose ‘Rich List’ because I thought that if I did happen to use this eye shadow I would be more likely to use the golden shade than the black one. 

AVEDA Intensive Hydrating Masque (RRP $79.95 AUD for 150ml) Sample size

I’ve had this sample before and I think I liked it. I do remember liking that it was a clear mask treatment so that my partner and daughter didn’t tease me for wearing it around the house. I wished the sample was a bit larger so you could give it a decent try.

ARDELL Self-adhesive fake eyelashes (RRP $9.99 for one pair) Full size product

I am not that into fake eyelashes, and whenever I try them after getting them in a subscription box I can never get them on properly. Maybe I will have better luck with these ones because there is no need to add glue to them since they are self-adhesive. I will have to check at a tutorial on you tube, so fingers crossed that I might be successful this time.

DESIGNER BRANDS Nail Polish (RRP $6.99 AUD for 12ml) Full size product

My nail polish is a silver glitter one which I quite like, except I just brought a silver glitter nail polish a month ago ha ha. Oh well I guess I will probably pass this on since it takes me a very long time to get through a bottle of nail polish.

VERDICT

For me this month was a bit disappointing mainly due to my taste in products, which is a shame since the July box had 4 full size products and normally I would probably be very excited with that prospect. The full sized products only were worth $70.93 so for the $19.95 it is great value. However I’m just not that into eye shadows, hair styling products, or fake eyelashes and I already had a nail polish that exact colour.  I am sure other people would be thrilled with this month’s selection but it was a miss for me. I do like the makeup bag this month; it was a hot pink mesh bag which I think I will be using a lot (much better than last month’s make up bag). 

Next month is Lust Have It’s birthday box so hopefully it will be a great box. I think after the August box I will probably unsubscribe from Lust Have It for a little while, since I have not been impressed with the boxes for June or July.
