<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yay! Another box of eco goodies to play with. Loving the <a href="http://www.lusthaveit.com.au/eco-box/" target="_blank">Lust Have It!</a> Eco boxes right now. Let's have a look at what I got to play with! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1) McArthur Complete Skincare Cream</b> RRP $54.95 for 250ml. Sample size: 250ml.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I saw this stuff advertised on a news program a few months ago where people were using this cream for conditions such as chronic wounds, cellulitis and arthritis with great results and relief for their conditions. It has 60% paw paw extract which is full of things skin love like vitamins & antioxidants. I gotta admit, I am not a huge fan of this cream. I don't like the smell and even though it is quite rich and nourishing there are much nicer smelling products out there that moisturise just as well. If I had an ailment like a wound or arthritis pain I guess I would try it for that but I don't, I would only use it as a moisturiser which I probably wont. I rate this product a 2/5 based on the use of a general moisturiser. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2) Alfaparf Milano Precious Oil Tradition Sample pack</b>:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Absolute Oil RRP $39 for 100ml. Sample size: 13ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Anti-Frizz Oil Shampoo RRP $26 for 250ml. Sample size: 10ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Anti-Frizz Oil Mask RRP $30 for 200gm. Sample size: 10ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A new range with prickly pear oil and pequi oil to help frizzy manes. The sample sizes were only just enough for one try for me as I have very long & thick hair. I didn't think too much of them while I was using them but when I straightened my hair I did find it was less frizzy then usual so they live up to their name. I rate these products a 4/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3) Pretty Serious Nail Polish</b> RRP $9.95 for 11ml. Sample size: 11ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An Australian made brand, 100% vegan and highly pigmented. I got the TUX shade which is a pretty dark blue which looks more like a dark grey when applied with a hint of shimmer. Pretty decent price as well. I rate this product a 4/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>4) Wotnot Facial Wipes</b> RRP $15 for 25wipes. Sample size: 25 wipes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This product won the best facial wipes award from beautyhaven.com for being the only facial wipes with completely natural ingredients. I did really like these wipes, I find facial wipes always tend to be a bit stingy but these wipes were very gentle. I like having wipes on hand for cleaning off my make-up after a long night out when I'm too tired (or drunk) to cleanse properly. They are fairly reasonably priced as well. I rate this product a 4/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5) Elf Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadow</b> RRP $5.99 each. Sample size: 1</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was very surprised by this product. I received the Natural shade which is a gorgeous copper colour. The shadow is very highly pigmented and are beautiful to wear. I was even more surprised by the price which is a bargain for such a great product. I want all the colours! I rate this product a 5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* I had a little look over at their <a href="http://www.elfcosmetics.com.au/" target="_blank">website</a> and wow they have some awesome looking products at crazy cheap prices! I am going to buy a whole bunch of stuff to try, at those prices why not! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>6) Savi Body Cream</b> RRP $49.95 for 220ml. Sample size: 20ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Certified organic luxury body cream. I really liked this cream, it feels very deluxe and has a beautiful scent which reminds me of a day spa I went to in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. My skin felt very smooth after using it and it is absorbed super quick with no oily residue. Divine! I rate this product a 5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall I am very happy with this season's Lust Have It! Eco box. My favourite product would be a tie between the Elf eye-shadow & the Savi body cream, 2 products I will definitely buy in the future. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The t</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">otal value of the samples came to $98.05 which is great value. The Lust Have It! Eco boxes are $29.95 and are delivered per quarter. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.mirenesse.com/" target="_blank">Mirenesse</a> is one of those brands that really took me awhile to warm up to but I am glad I did. I would often get samples of their products in other beauty subscription boxes and they never really thrilled me then but I think it was because I was getting samples of make-up I wouldn't use no matter what the brand (like bright blue eyeliner and bright purple gel liner). Then one day I got a really nice sample of one of their pearl crush eyeshadows and I loved it. So I decided to sign up for one of their make-up sample 'Glamm' boxes. The great thing I liked about their boxes is that you can choose how often you get the boxes. I signed up for one every 2 months. So what did I get for my first Glamm box?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1) 24Hr Brow Lift and Shape Mascara</b> RRP $35 (full-sized)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have to admit I have never used a brow filler before, I have never had to. But I was interested to give this a go. It only comes in the one shade (a bronze/brown shade) which is fine for my skin colour but I'm not sure how it would hold up on people with fairer complexions. Anyway, I applied it and was really pleasantly surprised at the results. It gave my brows a nice shape & very subtle colour which looked awesome. At first I was worried it would look glittery but it doesn't. I am now a brow mascara convert and rate this product a 4/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2) Sexy Secret Eye Primer</b> RRP $10.95 (mini sized)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love eye primers and was very happy to receive this mini-sized wand. I notice a huge difference in the overall look of my eye make-up when I use a primer and when you work 12 hour shifts like I do you want something that is going to make your make-up stay put! I am always a bit nervous selecting my skin tone for make-up for products online that I have never seen or used before but I got a perfect match. The great thing about this product is that you can even wear it on it's own for an instant lift. It smooths and brightens the whole eye area to either wear as is or as a blank canvas for eyeshadows. I loved it and rate this product a 5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3) Boutique M Seamless Velvet Shadow</b> RRP $24.95 (full-sized) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got the Greek Goddess duo which is a dark grey/blackish and a blue shade. I dont normally pick blue shadows as I have blue eyes and I don't pull off bright shadows very well. But I love the dark grey shade and can definitely rock a smoky eye with this. This shadows have a genius designed little container where the lid slides down and there is a little brush built in to the back (the silver part in the photo) so your brush doesnt roll around with the product like so many compacts do. At first I was worried these shadows might be a little too glittery for my liking but I was surprised to find they are fairly matte when applied and are perfect for creating a smoky eye. I rate this product a 3.5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Glamm boxes cost $15 plus $9.75 for postage, so $24.75 in total. The contents are valued at $70.90 so I think that is awesome value! Cant wait for the next one! Mireneese also do the Glamm boxes in skin-care or a mixture of make-up and skincare. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The very first <a href="http://www.herfashionbox.com/" target="_blank">Her Fashion Box</a> has arrived! Beauty box subscribers have been waiting patiently for this new box which is a cool fusion of make-up, lifestyle and fashion all in the one package. Her Fashion Box is a subscription service delivered to your door for $39.95 per month. There are 3 different boxes you can choose from depending on your style - Trendy, Feminine or Classic. I ordered the Classic box. Lets see what we have for their debut box. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly we have a little ' Fashion Magazine' which is an 18 page booklet full of information on the contents of the box. There is features on how to wear your fashion accessory with different styles and 1-2 page articles about the beauty products. I think this is a fantastic idea to include a little booklet. Every other beauty subscription box I have seen just includes a little card with 1-2 sentences about the products but this magazine has some great tips and ways to use the contents of your box. Big thumbs up from me on that one! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next we have 2 accessories. The first is a gold hair elastic/ponytail holder. I wear my long hair in a ponytail for work most days so I loved this accessory! Very classy. My only criticism for this would be that it might not suit a lot of subscribers who have short hair so I can imagine they wouldn't be too happy. But I like it! The next accessory is a black & gold necklace which comes in a little black velvet drawstring bag. I do like the necklace, it's not something I would ever pick out for myself but that's the fun of subscription boxes - trying out new things. Having a look through the magazine at what the Trendy & Feminine boxes accessories were, I think my style is definitely more Feminine as I loved that boxes ponytail holder & necklace so I will change my box to a Feminine one for next month. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Right, onto the samples.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1) Redken Shampoo</b> RRP $22.95 for 300ml. Sample size: 50ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Redken Conditioner</b> RRP $22.95 for 250ml. Sample size: 30ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Redken Deep Facets</b> RRP $35.50 for 250ml. Sample size: 30ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first thought on these is wow, what a great sample size. A lot of other hair products samples I have received have been only enough for 1 or 2 washes and not really enough to fully test out the product. I estimate I would get about 5 washes out of these samples and I have very long, thick hair. I really enjoyed trying these products out. I am yet to see any noticeable difference in my hair after 1 use but I look forward to seeing how it looks after using it for a week and seeing if I can get some shine! Based on the one use so far though I rate this product a 4/5. I think the price is quite reasonable as well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2) Circa Home Everyday Soap in Lilac & Orchid</b> RRP $9.95 for 125g. Sample size: 125g. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This smells DIVINE!!!! It is the first thing I picked up when I opened up my box. The packaging is just so pretty I didn't want to open it!. Lots of yummy ingredients like sweet almond oil and cocoa butter it has a very luxury feel and feels nice to use. It left my skin feeling very soft and smelling sweet. They are a pretty reasonable price as well. I rate this product a 4/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3) Master Make-up by Dean Nixon Blending Brush</b> RRP $30.00. 1 full sized brush. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I LOVE make-up brushes and was thrilled to get this, especially the blending brush as I would use this brush the most. The brush feels super soft and is a nice little tool to add to my collection of brushes. I personally probably wouldn't spend $30 on a brush like that and I do think they are slightly overpriced compared to a lot of good quality brushes out there that are cheaper. I rate this product a 2.5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>4) Maybelline New York Colour Sensational High Shine Lip Gloss</b> RRP $15.95 for 5ml. Sample size: 5ml.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got the Glisten Up Pink shade which is a very pretty glittery pink and is a shade I would definitely pick for myself. It has a very silky texture and feels awesome. I absolutely love this lip gloss and am thrilled to have received it in my box. I rate this product a 5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5) Moxie Feminine Hygiene Sample Collection</b> RRP $4.47. Sample size: 2 tampons, 1 liner and 2 pads.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Really??? Tampons in a subscription box?? The first thought that comes to mind when I see this is 'wow this reminds me of grade 7 sex education class'. I do not think these sorts of products have a place in subscription boxes. I just hope HFB have got that out of their system now and can concentrate on delivering more fabulous samples like everything else in their first box. This product doesn't deserve a rating. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall I am very impressed with the first Her Fashion Box and am willing to let slip that last product to say it is a great box and I will definitely be continuing my subscription with them. The total value of the products came to $71.15 (yes I did the math) and I paid $24.95 as I had a discount code, but normally the boxes will cost $39.95 which is pretty good. I am looking forward to next month's box! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Very excited to get my <a href="http://www.lusthaveit.com.au/eco-box/" target="_blank">Lust Have It!</a> Eco Summer Box today. I have had a bit of a break from the subscription beauty boxes lately, mainly because I felt I wasn't really enjoying what most of them were offering. After much contemplation I decided to sign up to two subscription boxes again, with Lust Have It! Eco as one of those. I have always been interested in more organic and eco-friendly beauty products and I think this is a fantastic subscription box idea for the eco girl. So what do we have in our little hemp bag? </span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1) Kuu Konjac Deep Cleansing Knojac Sponge</b> RRP $9.95 per sponge. Sample size: 1 sponge. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This thing is cool! It's a red clay infused konjac vegetable sponge which is 100% natural fibre's and stated as suitable for all skin types. It can be used for face or body either alone or with some product (using this with product will give you lots of bubbles!) and lasts up to 3 months of daily use. When you want to dispose of it you can add it to your compost or use it in the bottom of pot plants. I love a product that doesn't contribute to more landfill! I used mine on my face with some cleanser and I really liked it. It's very soft and squishy and unlike anything I have used before. A great, natural alternative to a face exfoliant. And at that price its a total bargain! I rate this product a 5/5. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2) Dr. Hauschka Mellissa Day Cream</b> RRP $52 for 30ml. Sample size: 5ml.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have tried a few Dr. Hauschka skin care samples before and I gotta admit I have never really been impressed by them. This day cream however is a lot better then many of their other products I have tried and I am intrigued again by this range. The day cream has witch hazel and daisy extracts to calm, balance & manage shine to leave skin refined, soft and even. I really liked the scent of this cream, it has a zesty citrus smell and the texture feels very lux. I did find my skin felt a tiny bit oily after applying which wasn't too bad considering its potency, but was just enough to make me not love it. It is also just a little expensive for my liking. I did find my skin felt a lot softer using this though which helped give it a few points. I rate this product a 3.5/5. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3) World Organic Juniper Berry Cleansing Face Wash</b> RRP $27.99 for 80ml. Sample size: 15ml. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>AND</i></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>4) World Organic Almond Seed Face Exfoliant</b> RRP $23.87 for 50ml. Sample size: 15ml.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These products are certified organic and vegan and suitable for all skin types (yes, even the exfoliant!). I was absolutely blown away by these two products! The exfoliant is such a nice texture, it's nowhere near as gritty as a lot of exfoliants are and it doesnt feel like you are scrubbing down to your epidermis when you use it yet it left my skin very smooth. The face wash also has a nice texture, it feels rich and cleanses beautifully. Also, a little goes a long way with these 2 products and they both smell divine. I would estimate the 15ml sample size is enough for about 2 weeks worth of daily use so the price for the full-sized range is very good for such a wonderful product. I rate these 2 products a 5/5. I will definitely be buying these, and look forward to trying other products from this brand. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5) Earthly Body Hemp Seed Hand & Body Lotion</b> RRP $10 for 236ml. Sample size: 88ml.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have never tried a hemp seed oil product before then get out of the rock you have been living under and give this stuff a try! I have loved hemp seed oil products for years now and was stoked to try this. This hand & body lotion has a lovely scent, is absorbed very fast when applied and left my skin feeling very moisturized with no oiliness at all. I go through hand creams like there is no tomorrow because of my job (I am a nurse and I wash my hands a million times a day which equals dryness!) and this will definitely be going in my bag to keep my hands in top notch. The price of this product is also a real steal. I rate this product a 5/5. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>6) De Lorenzo Elements Earth Mud Slide Styling Creme</b> RRP $23.95 for 100ml. Sample size: 100ml. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At first I was a little hesitant as to how I would even use this product being a strong hold cream and me having long poker straight hair. But being a winner of the 2011 Australian Beauty Awards and a brand I love I wanted to give it a good shot. I straightened my hair and then used a little bit to run through the lengths and tips and styled into a ponytail. Normally a few hours later the end of my ponytail starts to curl but with this the ends stayed straight so I was really pleased with that result. Any other suggestions on how to use it would be most welcome! I rate this product a 3.5/5. </span></div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>7) Aphrodite Make Your Eyes Pop!</b> RRP $24.95 per pot. Sample size: 1 pot. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got the Copper Cocoa shade which is a beautiful glistening earthy brown/copper shade which is just made for my skin-tone! The shimmer of this shadow is quite deceiving when it is just sitting in the pot, but once you apply it it is VERY shimmery and just gorgeous! The texture of the powder is so light and refined but it holds on great (I used an eyelid primer pre application). Made from 100% natural ingrediants and comes in over 100 shades. I rate this product a 4.5/5. </span></div>

Over $85 worth of product for $29.95 is pretty darn good in my opinion and if you are after a great value subscription beauty box then here is the proof you can get one! Very impressed LHI! Eco. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been hiding for the last few months. My life has had a complete 180 and gone are the days when I could lavish myself with whatever latest trends I desired. Times have been tough, and as a result of that I had to cancel ALL of my beauty box subscriptions which was very sad but after a few months of being a good little financial nerd and paying my bills (and surviving off all my accumulated beauty samples) I have revised my budget and am now allowed to splurge on myself again. This time I wanted to do something different though. I was getting a little bored of the usual beauty boxes out there and after a bit of searching I was delighted to find something new on the market. It's called 'Her Fashion Box' and it kicks off in March and I am super dooper excited! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here's how it works:</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a monthly subscription box delivered</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It costs $49.95 per month (credit card payment and I think they also accept bank deposit. No paypal though I believe)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You get to pick between 3 different styles: Trendy, Classic or Feminine</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You fill in your personalized profile with details such as age, your interests, if your ears are pierced, the tone of your skin, your hair worries, your interests and the beauty trends you like or dislike.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each month you get a personalized on-trend fashion accessory depending on which profile you choose along with the latest deluxe beauty samples from all the beauty brands the cool kids are talking about. I have chosen the Classic profile but you can change between profiles each month if you like. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I would have to say I am a bit of a know-it-all when it comes to these subscription box services and I have been disappointed a lot in the past. One of my main disappointments was the fact that a lot of the products that beauty boxes send out just do not work for everyone and I love the idea that someone has come out with a product that is a bit more personalized to the customer's tastes. $49.95 per month is a fairly decent price to pay for a subscription box and I am praying that I am not disappointed for that price. I also really love the idea of mixing together a few different things including fashion, make-up & lifestyle products into the one box. One concern I do have is the sustainability of this box because of it's price tag and its target audience. $49.95 is a lot to pay per month and even being a professional who earns $85K per year I am skeptical to handing over that much for one box each month and I can imagine a lot of young girls who are the target audience are probably university students or work part-time won't be able to sustain that. But we will see. It is exciting and I am really looking forward to the next generation in beauty subscription boxes blowing us out of the water. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love coming home to find a little blue parcel waiting at the door for me! Always makes me smile after a bad week at work! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1) Savoir Faire Concealer Kit</b> RRP $35 for a full size dual concealer kit Sample size: 4 concealers & 2 finishing powders about the size of a 5c piece.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What a cute little sample kit! 4 different shades to play with from concealing to contouring and 2 finishing powders to set the look. The concealers are deliciously creamy and a dream to apply with amazing coverage and the powders are light and not heavy. I will definitely be buying the full sized product and its great to know what shades suit me from this sampler before spending my money on the full sized product. I rate this product a 5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2) Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel </b>RRP $24.95 for 200ml Sample size: 10ml.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm pretty set in my ways when it comes to a daily skincare product and am yet to find anything to impress me enough to replace my current regime but this one comes close! This is a really nice daily cleanser and left my skin feeling very clean & purified. And the price tempts me... for a cheaper skincare line it certainly doesn't feel cheap! I am very tempted to give this a proper long trial after my current regime has run out. I rate this product a 5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3) You, Me & Everybody Sumptuos Skin Mousse</b> RRP $13.99 for 75ml Sample size: 75ml Full sized product.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't think I have ever used a skin mousse for the body before! This was fun to use and it absorbs really fast and is non greasy which I love and my skin did feel well moisturised after using this. I do however have to argue the 'fragrance free' promise. Maybe I just have a sensitive nose to smells but this definitely had a smell to me and its not very nice. Even after washing my hands I can still smell it. Pity. I rate this product a 3/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>4) Bioderma Sebium AKN Purifying Corrective Care</b> RRP $24.95 for 30ml Sample size: 5ml.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another nice Bioderma product to try. I don't know how other people feel but I really like getting more then 1 skincare product in a range to try out, especially when I am so impressed with one product. Usually the second product seals the deal for me to buy the full sized product! And guess what, this one certainly does that! My skin feels amazing after using this cream! No wonder it was the winner of an Australian Beauty Award. I rate this product a 5/5 and am off to buy this range now! Wow! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5) Benefit Its Potent! Eye Cream</b> RRP $32 for 14g Sample size: 3g.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all know I am a big Benefit fan so I am always super happy to get their products to try! This eye cream comes in the sweetest little pot and feels very creamy and luxurious! I have a lot of problems with dark circles under my eyes so I am excited to use this product over the next few weeks and see how it goes. Thanks Bellabox for supplying a generous sized sample to do so! I will come back & rate this product after a proper testing!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>6) USPA Beehold</b> RRP $32 for 150ml Sample size: 30ml.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really liked this product. I have unruly wavy hair which I normally straighten and am always on the lookout for products to help work with my natural curl then against it. I used some of this after washing then put my hair in plaits and slept in it overnight and this morning I have a lovely curl which is full of body and has worked wonders on my split ends. Will definitely be buying! I rate this product a 5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall I really enjoyed this months Bellabox. They also threw in a $15 voucher to use for The Iconic on a minimum spend of $69 and it doesn't expire til the end of December so I will definitely hang onto that one to use when I'm shopping for Xmas gifts! I was particularly impressed with the Bioderma skincare products and the Savoir Faire sample concealer kit. Another awesome month from Bellabox! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another exciting box from Lust Have It! this month. Lets take a peek at what we have here!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1) Tigi Rockaholic Rock Out Shine Blaster</b> RRP $27.95 for 100ml Sample size: 100ml full sized product.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I LOVE getting hair products. We all know that. So a full sized Tigi product made my heart skip a beat when I opened up this month's box. I have a habit of trying to grow my hair but get fed up with it and cut it short all the time. This is the longest I have ever had my hair and it drives me insane but I am giving it another year of being long before chopping it off again. Its very hard to manage and the split ends bug me to no end. So anything to make my hair more manageable deserves a great review and this little bottle of oil is just wonderful. It has a cute candy like scent and even though its an oil it doesn't make my hair oily. It makes my hair feels nice & soft and gives it a beautiful shine which looks great on my jet black hair. I rate this product a 5/5 and will definitely be buying this again! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2) Appelles Skin Detox Shower Gel & Body Booster Skin Lotion</b> RRP 12.95 for 100ml Sample size: 30ml of each.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a brand I hadn't heard of before. The gel & lotion both smell really yummy and for a cheaper budget priced buy I think they are a very nice product. The packaging is really cute as-well, I love the bold colours. I rate these products a 4/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3) ModelCo Eyeliner</b> RRP $26 Sample size: full sized product.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have about a zillion eyeliners so it takes a lot to impress me when it comes to an eyeliner. This one has a very handy sharpener built into the lid which is a cute idea. My first thoughts were 'at that price are you really just paying for the sharpener'. But after trying the eyeliner itself I can see where those extra dollars have gone. This goes on like a dream and is very highly pigmented. I hate having to apply eyeliner a few times to get a decent amount of colour but this one makes an impact right from the start. Love it! I rate this product a 5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>4) Marc Jacobs DOT fragrance</b> RRP $160 for 100ml Sample size: 1.2ml.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The new fragrance from Marc Jacobs which is only just hitting our Aussie shelves. Not much I can really say about this. Its beautiful. I rate it a 5/5. I want more. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5) tanGo Tanning Glove</b> RRP $29.95 per glove Sample size: 1 glove.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its way too cold still to be breaking out the fake tan so I cant really comment on its use as a tanning removal glove but it can be used as a make-up remover which is what I used it for and its awesome. Its nice & soft and removes make-up well. I rate this product a 4/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>6) Appelles Body Bay Vegetable Soap</b> RRP $4.95 for 40g Sample size: 40g full sized product. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to review this soap separately to the other Appelles products we received this month as its unisex and I wanted a man's perspective so I got my husband to try it. His verdict? 'Its alright. Its pink though, you sure this is ok for a guy?'. Hmm. Sounds like the average male response to a soap product review. I tried it and thought it was nice for a budget buy and I rate it a 4/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall I was very impressed with this months Lust Have It! and we got some lovely full sized products in there among some new brands I hadn't heard of before. Happy 1st birthday Lust Have It, you have had a wonderful year of beauty sample boxes and I look forward to what the next year brings for you! </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I always get a tiny thrill when I see the courier man has left that little blue box at my front door! Bellabox is by far my most favourite of all the beauty boxes, every month is always great. This month was no exception so lets dive in and see what we have! This months theme was all about keeping it green with natural products free from any nasty chemicals you find in everything nowadays. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1) Aurora Spa Rituals Shampoo and Conditioner </b>RRP $40 each for 500ml Sample size: 50ml each.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This shampoo & especially the conditioner smell absolutely divine!!! I was immediately reminded of a little luxury tree-house my husband & I often stay at in Montville, it smells exactly like it. I found the shampoo lovely with minimal lather but it does a great job anyway and the conditioner made my hair super soft and shiny. I rate these a 5/5- just divine! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2) Emerginc Skincare Kombucha Cleanser & Phytocell Cream</b> RRP $44 for 120mls (cleanser) & $105 for 50ml (cream) Sample size: 3mls each.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have tried Emerginc skincare before and its not too bad. It is very potent stuff and feels very concentrated and lovely. I wouldn't use it everyday as it is quite expensive but as a treat to the skin it is wonderful. I rate these a 4/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3) Aveeno Daily Moisterising Lotion</b> RRP $12.99 for 354ml Sample size: 29ml.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love the little bottle its so cute. Aveeno is a great cheaper brand for everyday skincare and this moisturizer is great. Super quick absorbing and fragrance free. I use a lot of moisturizer on my hands for my job so this will work great as a hand cream for me. I rate this a 5/5 (you just cant go past the cheap price!) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>4) Lush Ro's Argan Body Conditioner</b> RRP $29.95 for 225g Sample size: 45g.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My heart always skips a beat when I see a Lush product! I am obsessed with Lush (my husband has banned me from buying anything from there at the moment haha!) so I was very happy to get my fix this month! This all over body conditioner smells like a big bunch of flowers and is super creamy and super yum like everything Lush make! I rate this a 5/5 (duh).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5) Luk Beautifeed Lip Nourish</b> RRP $24.95 for 3g Sample size: Full-size.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This product isn't even available to buy yet. Its made of 100% natural and edible products and has a nice lemon & mint flavour for people like me who end up eating their lipsticks half the time! It looks very dark but once you put it on its a very natural shade and is very soothing and lovely to wear. I rate this product a 4/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>6) Phytocare Daily C Vitamin C Powders</b> RRP $17.80 for 30 sachets Sample size: 2 sachets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought this was a cute little sample to include, especially on the tail end of winter and during the flu season here in Australia! Little individual sachets of vitamin C (1000mg) to mix up with your breakfast each morning and they are free from all the nasty sugars & artificial colours & flavours. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall I think Bellabox have done another wonderful job this month and I got to try some new brands I have never heard of before which is always fun. Bellabox is most definitely value for money and they always have a great variety of products to sample. If you don't already subscribe to Bellabox I highly recommend you do! They are, in my honest opinion, the top beauty sample box service in the country. </span></div>

I was lucky enough to get sent one of these awesome razors by Schick, the new Hydro Silk, before it even hits the shelves so you can keep your eyes peeled for it when its available to buy. If you are anything like me and loathe shaving then listen up because you will love this razor! Lets look why!</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shaving is such a long & boring process for me - I have to get in the shower, wait for my skin to adjust to the water, then I can lather up in the creamiest soap I have and then start shaving. I have tried these 'all-in-one' shavers before to try shorten that process but <span style="background-color: white;">my skin always seems to react to the blades because the built-in moisturiser isn't strong enough and my skin goes red and lumpy and dry and then I get the ingrown hairs a week later and its horrible! I have tried a few different razors with a built-in </span><span style="background-color: white;">moisturiser</span><span style="background-color: white;"> before and there was always still some degree of irritation no matter what. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was a little sceptical when I got this razor to try because of my past experiences. The new Schick Hydro Silk has water-activated </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">moisturising</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> serum infused with marine extracts in the razor </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">attachment</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> itself surrounding the blades. I have tried razors before that have a similar idea surrounding the blades but it always seems to take until halfway through your shave for the stuff to even work! So I was really impressed when this stuff became all gooey and </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">moisturising </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">instantly so I could start shaving right away. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Score one to Shick! </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK4ibsMH-omNcKbyBmda4zsjq2gZkP3AardRJmA1UFkQlrTl-n7SRBNARKrewyfllklZnpeAAFw9zgzRepMb3cXGDnTkWEUSgl-AP52GVS_Dk7UhgkvbTCp-XynTGUQk0bMJezcui_Ol0/s1600/0006_03a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK4ibsMH-omNcKbyBmda4zsjq2gZkP3AardRJmA1UFkQlrTl-n7SRBNARKrewyfllklZnpeAAFw9zgzRepMb3cXGDnTkWEUSgl-AP52GVS_Dk7UhgkvbTCp-XynTGUQk0bMJezcui_Ol0/s320/0006_03a.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My next test came to the blades themselves. I often find with razors I have to go over the same trouble spots a few times to remove all the hair, particularly my knees (and if I had a dollar for every-time I nicked myself on the knee from shaving I would be a millionaire!) The Schick Hydro Silk has 5 curve sensing blades and a nice oval shaped cartridge which claims to get to those hard to reach places which it certainly does! I only had to go over my knees once and the job was done! And I didn't nick myself thanks to the unique skin guards on the blades which help prevent klutzes like me slicing their legs open! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last awesome thing I would like to mention is the soft touch handle which is inspired by the water and looks like a mermaid would use it. Very pretty and looks great hanging up in the little suction cup holder (included in the pack) in my bathroom. This razor is so easy to use. I can now finally take up shaving my legs after a long & tiring 12 hour shift where I practically fall asleep in the shower and create some sort of shaving induced injury! Another score to Schick! Safety first people! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall I am really impressed with the new Schick Hydro Silk razor and I will definitely be buying it in the future. My legs felt smooth & moisturised all day and I didnt use any other creams or lotions before, during or after using this razor. I'm a hard girl to please in the disposable razors category so am really happy I got to try this one as I probably wouldn't have looked twice at it in the shops! I rate this razor a 5/5! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello my beautiful readers! A little while ago I put out a notification asking for 5 readers to be a part of a panel of beauty experts to help me review products for my blog. I currently have my 5 readers and will be publishing my first sponsored post in the next 2 weeks! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey everyone! I have been away on holidays so haven't been around lately. Was excited to come home and find my July BellaBox waiting for me though! The focus of this months box is 'Essential Beauty Buys'.Wow, a lot of products to get through this month....</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1) Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub</b> RRP $9.99 for 125ml Sample size: 15ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now this one wasn't on my product info card and I am wondering if it was an added extra? Did anyone else get this? Anyway, I have used Neutrogena before and I do like the brand. The deep clean scrub smells really nice and leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean. I rate this product a 4/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2) Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Night Renewal Cream</b> RRP $12.99 for 75g Sample size: 15g</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a big supporter of night renewal creams! Being a shift worker my skin sometimes looks very tired & drawn out from being awake all night so adding a night renewal cream to my beauty routine is a must! This one is OK. It has a nice texture and doesn't feel greasy but I didn't really notice much of a difference in my skin. I usually use a much more expensive product so I personally think when it comes to renewal creams you get what you pay for and I probably wouldn't buy this. I rate this product a 2/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3) Ulta3 Nail Polish in Mulberry</b> RRP $2 for 13ml Sample size: 13ml <i>Full Sized Product</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have used these polishes before, they sell them for $1 down at my local Coles. For a cheap nail polish they really are awesome! I have used some much more expensive polishes which were really bad quality! I personally don't like to spend a lot of money on nail polishes as I like to have a wide variety of colours so having a massive range of cheap as chips polishes like these is great. The mulberry colour is really cute and these polishes dry very fast as-well. I rate this product a 5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>4) Givenchy Pi Neo</b> RRP $80 for 50ml Sample size: 1ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Something for the boys! This is a really nice men's fragrance! This probably sounds really corny but the first thing I thought of when I tried this was ' this is what Mr. Grey would wear' from the 50 shades of Grey books. Its very nice! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5) Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Deep Wrinkle Eye Cream</b> RRP $29.99 for 14g Sample size: 14g <i>Full Sized Product</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I said before, being a shift worker takes it toll on my skin, and as I get closer to my 30's I am noticing the skin around my eyes is getting worse so using an anti-aging eye cream is very important to me. This one has a great neutral scent and feels very light when applied. The effects aren't expected to really show for about 2 weeks so I cant really comment on whether it works or not- I will let you know in 2 weeks! But based on its application I rate this product a 4/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>6) You, Me & Everybody Shady Lady Daily Face Milk</b> RRP $9.99 for 75ml Sample size: 75ml <i>Full Sized Product</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a brand I haven't heard of before. This daily face moisturizer has UVA & UVB broad spectrum SPF 30+ protection. I do a lot of exercising outdoors so sun protection is a must! I really like this product, its non greasy and has no awful sunscreen smell that some products do. This is perfect to keep in my gym bag and slap on before going for a run. And its nice & affordable! I rate this product a 5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>7) Almay Get Up & Grow Mascara</b> RRP $19.95 for 6.2ml Sample size: 6.2ml <i>Full Sized Product</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have about a million mascara's so impressing me with a mascara is pretty hard to do! I did really like this one though, the brush is very nice and gave a smooth application with no clumping. I would buy this again. I rate this product a 4/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>8) Carmex Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm</b> RRP $8.99 for 2g Sample size: 2g <i>Full Sized Product</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have used this lip balm before (in fact I'm wearing it right now!) and its awesome. Very very hydrating and silky and feels divine. I suffer from cracked lips in Winter and this balm is just perfect! I was really happy to get this as I am about to run out so that's another problem solved! And its very affordable which is another plus. I rate this product a 5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>9) Primaria Nourishing Silk Mask</b> (RRP $ 24.95 for 150ml Sample size: 15ml) and <b>Bath of Life Shampoo</b> (RRP $21.95 for 250ml Sample size: 15ml)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love trying new hair products! I absolutely loved the silk mask- made my hair feel very soft and easy to manage afterwards. The shampoo was very nice as-well. I rate these products a 4/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall I was very impressed with this months BellaBox! I think the products suited the theme perfectly and there were quite a few full sized products in there which is always a nice bonus. And it all came in a cute little re-usable organza zip bag, perfect for keeping your products together in your handbag. I know some people get a bit angry about receiving 'basic products' or stuff you can buy down at the local grocery store but I think its still nice to go back to these products occasionally to show that beauty can be for all budgets and that you really can find some gems at the local cheap chemist. Well done BellaBox, another happy customer right here! </span></div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04639459285980550486noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766133464349464454.post-67079536495397937032012-06-28T12:45:00.000+10:002012-06-28T12:45:07.380+10:00Lust Have It! June 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Good morning my little bunnies! I am a little late with my review of this month's <a href="http://www.lusthaveit.com.au/">Lust Have It!</a> but I have been very sick the last week. I am starting to feel better now and ready to indulge in my favourite beauty sample box service. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1) Batiste Blush Dry Shampoo</b> RRP $9.95 for 150ml Sample size: 50ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last few months have seen me become quite a fan of these dry shampoo products. When you have long & thick hair like me it gets very annoying very quickly to wash & style your hair everyday especially after going to the gym. I have been using dry shampoo's after my gym workouts to give my hair another day or two before it needs a wash and dry shampoos work fantastically for this. I find it also helps hold the style after use which is great for me as I spend forever straightening my hair but with this it helps give my hair that nice clean feeling while keeping the style. I rate this product a 4/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2) Roberto Cavalli Eau de Parfum</b> RRP $80 for 30ml Sample size: 1.2ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do love fragrance samples and this Roberto Cavalli scent is very nice. I would wear it with a little black dress, black heels and red wine nails. 5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3) Marc Jacobs Lola</b> RRP $120 for 50ml Sample size: 1.2ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a huge fan of Marc Jacobs fragrances and would wear this during the day on a trip to the beach. Yum. 5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>4) Bloom Glitter Eyeliner</b> RRP $14.95 for full-sized product (sample size is full-size)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I'm</span> not a huge fan of glitter but this eye-liner does have a very subtle glint and would be cute to wear to a party or club. I rate this product a 3/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5) Lon Vitalite 24K Active Golden Yulan Oil Facial Mask</b> RRP $59 for 5 Sample size: 1 mask</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was the one I was most excited to try in this month's pack and for good reason. I love using masks and even though they feel funny and get a bit fiddly they make your skin feel AMAZING and I noticed a visible added brightness to my skin afterwards. I rate this product a 5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was just as good as the full facial mask and the skin around my eyes was definitely tighter and more radiant. Very nice! I rate this product a 5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And of course the gorgeous bright purple make-up case that it all came in. So thats now a blue, a pink & a purple case, I wonder what next months will be?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall I am really happy with this month's Lust Have It! and got to try some lovely new products I hadnt seen before.</span></div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04639459285980550486noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766133464349464454.post-27501659699595170322012-06-14T13:26:00.001+10:002012-06-14T13:31:03.458+10:00BellaBox June 2012 Review<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh <a href="http://bellabox.com.au/">Bellabox</a> you really do light up my day! I just about squealed with excitement when I unwrapped this month's box of goodies. Lets have a look at what those amazing beauties at Bellabox have in store for us this month!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b>1) Benefit Total Moisture Facial Cream</b>- Cult RRP $59 for 48.3gm Sample size: 3.5gm</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know I have said it before and let me just say it again I am absolutely in LOVE with Benefit Cosmetics! So I was stoked to receive some Benefit skin care products in this months box. This hydra-concentrated facial cream is to help improve moisture & radiance for dry skin. Firstly I love the smell of this cream- you can smell the mango butter and its divine! Very silky & creamy and absorbs easily with no greasiness afterwards. Yum, yum, yum!! I rate this product a 4.5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a brand I have never heard of before so was super excited to try them out. Australian made & owned and free from any nasties like SLS's, parabens etc. The cleanser feels very 'clean' and is very gentle but effective for removing make-up & all the day's stresses from the skin. The cute little renewal system pump action cream has lots of nice ingredients like Retinol and Gotukola for improvement of skin's little imperfections. The cream has a nice neutral scent and absorbs lightning fast and feels wonderful. A new favourite! I rate these products a 4.5/5. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh wow this smells so good you just want to eat it! What a fabulous sized sample pot of body butter which is perfect for treating dry winter skin and the smell takes you to a tropical island straight away! Yummy! I rate this product a 4/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>4) Benefit Porefessional Pro Balm</b>- Cult RRP $58 for 22ml Sample size: 7.5ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A lovely generous sample sized tube from Benefit. I am obsessed with pore refiners and make-up primers so was a happy little Vegemite to get this product. I LOVE the texture of this balm when applying and once its on it feels like there is nothing there- it blends so wonderfully and makes the skin appear so smooth and refined instantly. If there is one thing I am buying full-sized this month it is this! Wow! I rate this product a 5/5. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh nice! We all know I love getting fragrance samples so was excited to find this. It smells divine and has a very grown-up feel about it and I cant wait to wear it to a night out at the burlesque club in a few weeks for my birthday matched with a black lacy dress & fishnets. Ooh la la! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>6) Sally Hanson Colour Quick Chrome Fast Dry Nail Pen</b> RRP $16.95 each Sample size: Full-size</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got the pink chrome colour which is more like a very light pastel purple. I was a bit worried at first when I saw this product- nail polish in a pen what the? But I was soon having fun doing my nails with this no mess no fuss nail colour pen. What a great little idea to do your nails on the run- don't have to worry about spilling a little pot of polish over like I always do! Very fun! And very quick drying as always with Sally Hanson. I rate this product a 4.5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>7) Olea Olive Leaf Drops</b> RRP $6 for 12 drops Sample size: 4 drops</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought this was a really cute little sample for Bellbox to include as we come into the flu season here in Australia. Olive leaf extract & Manuka honey drops for when you get sick with a cold. I'm sure these will come in handy soon enough! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What a massive month from Bellabox filled with amazing products for winter. Bellabox continues to be one of the very best beauty sample boxes in Australia and if you are tossing up as to subscribing I'm sure this month's review will help you with that decision! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>1) Sebastian Professional Range</b> RRP from $34 Sample size: 3x 10ml sachets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Shampoo, conditioner & mask. I LOVED these! My hair felt amazing after using them and especially when heat styling- left my style looking great & silky. I rate these products a 5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>2) Savior Faire Lipstick</b> in Classic RRP $48 Sample size: 1.2g</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This has to be the tiniest lipstick I have ever seen. Very cute. The colour is way way way too pink for me so I will be giving it away but it feels like a nice lipstick and is also water-resistant. I rate this product a 3.5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>3) Bobbi Brown Mini Mascara</b> is Cult RRP $48 Sample size: 3ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I do love a good Bobbi Brown mascara- they are definitely one of the best out there. A great brush and formula, it made my lashes lovely & long. And I am pretty fussy when it comes to mascara's so this one has impressed me. I rate this product a 5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>4) Avene Eau Thermale Moisturiser & Eye-cream</b> RRP $60+ each product Sample size: 5ml/2ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This included the Ystheal+ emulsion anti-aging treatment & Eluage Contour eye serum. Im excited to try these over the next few days and will get back to how they go!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>5) Emerginc Hydra Repair Capsules</b> RRP $139 for 40 capsules Sample size: 4 capsules</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Little capsules of wonder serums always interest me. Most brands I have tried always show amazing results so this is another one im very excited to try and to get back to with a rating.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Overall I am really impressed with BellaBox this month. There are some wonderful brands to sample and I am especially happy to be trying out some very high-end skincare products amongst those as well. Expensive skincare is sometimes very difficult to maintain at times and getting the opportunity to try before you buy can become very expensive in the end which is why I love these beauty sample box services. BellaBox has to be one of the best beauty sample box services in my honest opinion and I highly recommend subscribing to them! </span></div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04639459285980550486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766133464349464454.post-26015669068657645022012-05-17T16:59:00.000+10:002012-05-17T16:59:19.475+10:00Meet my Sponsors<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So this month was the first month that <a href="http://www.lusthaveit.com.au/">Lust Have It!</a> was taking on the Glossybox customers and its safe to say I think we were all waiting with baited breath to see what would be in this month's box. Right now I can only think of one word to describe it- wow. I mean, wow!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Firstly I would just like to point out that Lust Have It! have sent out different boxes this month. Ex-Glossybox customers who were not previously subscribed to Lust Have It! will have received a different box to the long-term subscribers like me so if your box is different to mine don't fret!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Secondly, I didn't get my package til very late from the post office this afternoon and am busy tonight so wont have time to properly sample & rate the products so I apologise for having a lack of ratings on the products. I will do this over the weekend after testing them all out properly. Now onto the goodies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">ZOMG its a pink make-up case this month! I am eternally at the mercy of Lust Have It! now for sending out such a gorgeous coloured case. Big smiles all round on that one! Right, enough of that, whats inside?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>1) Caron Laboratories Bump eRaiser Medi Paste</b> RRP $16.75 for 30mls Sample size: 30ml (full-sized product)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have to say I have never used a product for ingrown hairs before. This paste is designed to prevent & eliminate ingrown hairs & bumps on the face, bikini line, legs & underarms and has nice ingredients like tea tree oil & vitamin A. I will give this a go after my next waxing to see how it fares and report back on what I think of it! And just to note this nifty little tube of paste was the winner of the BeautyHeaven.com.au Glosscars Best in Beauty 2011. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>2) Nicole by OPI Ultimate Trend Setters Lacquer</b> RRP $14.95 for 15ml Sample size: 3.75ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I do like the OPI nail lacquers and am super excited to give this a whirl tomorrow night after I finish work in time for pretty nails on the weekend. I got a gorgeous purple colour and the little bottle is so cute. I will rate this when I try it this weekend.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I fell in love with the Evo brand after Lust Have It! included their rescue therapy hair mask in a prior box which was just to die for. My hair loved it! I will try this tonight and report on how my hair feels afterwards. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>4) Bioderma Crealine H2O Make-up Remover</b> RRP $39.95 for 250ml Sample size: 20ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am always on the look-out for good make-up removers. I am currently using a chamomile based remover and I really like it so I am quite picky when it comes to removers. The first thing I noticed about this product was the neutral scent which is a big tick in my books. It has a lovely light texture and removes make-up efficiently and completely. I am quite impressed. I rate this product a 4.5/5</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>5) Calvin Klein Sheer Beauty Perfume</b> RRP $80 for 50ml Sample size: 1.2ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Oh how I love perfume samples. It just pleases me so much to find them in these sample boxes. This Calvin Klein scent is so yummy! Very feminine & flirty and light enough for daytime wear yet sexy enough for evening. Yum Yum Yum! I rate this scent a 5/5</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>6) Lush Dirty Soap</b> RRP $6.95 for 100g Sample size: approx 58g</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am a slave to the wonderful world of Lush products and was super excited to find this in our packs this month. The first thing I notice is the invigorating spearmint scent- it is very strong! I cant wait to try this in the shower tonight although I'm slightly nervous as to whether the zingy scent will keep me up all night!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>7) ModelCo Shine Ultra Lip Gloss</b> RRP $22 Sample size: full sized product</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have actually never tried ModelCo before. They have been around forever and I just have never tried them. No idea why. I was lucky to receive a gorgeous light pink shimmery sticky lip gloss which has to be the yummiest smelling gloss I have ever tried. It reminds me a strawberry ice-cream you would get at the fair, its just cruel its not edible! Goes on nice and has a cute shimmer to it. And I do love a wand gloss, especially as this one has a cute little mirror on the side so you don't get it all over your nose! I rate this product a 4.5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Wow what a big review this month. 8 products and all of them looking fantastic even though I am yet to try half of them. Lust Have It! have got to be one of the best beauty sample boxes Australia has to offer and if I had to recommend only one company out of them all Lust Have It! would be it, no questions asked. I am yet to find any faults with this service- the products are amazing, the packaging is always good and the value for money is beyond the $14.95 per month. Do yourself a favour and sub</span>scribe to them now! </div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04639459285980550486noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766133464349464454.post-68440111608915493802012-05-01T14:46:00.001+10:002012-05-01T14:46:21.280+10:00GlossyBox April 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This will be my final post on GlossyBox as most of you may know the company has been taken over by Lust Have It! as of today and this is the final box they are sending out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>1) Blush Amour Nail Polish</b> RRP $4.95 for 18ml Sample size: 18ml (full-sized product).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Its no secret I like getting nail polishes in these beauty sample boxes. I got a lovely metallic burnt orange colour which is really pretty. I did find it to be a little bit streaky and doesn't dry very fast but the colour is nice. I rate this product a 3/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>2) Mirenesse Tight Liner Hydra Gel Eye Liner</b> RRP $29.95 for 2g Sample size: 2g (full-sized product)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have this product already in black and this one is an electric blue colour which is very intense. I'm not a big fan of liner pens personally (i prefer to use a brush and a pot of gel liner) and I do find these liners aren't very highly pigmented and need a few applications. I rate this product a 3/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>3) Redwin Organics Orange & Bergamot Moisteriser</b> RRP $4.95 for 500ml Sample size: 100g</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A pretty cheap moisturiser. Has a nice orange scent and is a fairly creamy texture. I rate this product a 2/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>4) Integrity Cosmetics Protecting Moisteriser</b> RRP $47 for 50ml Sample size: 50ml (full-sized product).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This moisturiser has a really nice scent and a lovely fresh texture. Lots of organic ingredients and zinc for sun protection. I rate this product a 4/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>5) Rosehip Skincare 7 Precious Oils</b> RRP $60 for 60ml Sample size: 2ml.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A potent serum for improving tone & texture packed with vitamins. This has a very strong scent but for an oil it does absorb quite easily and is non-greasy and left my skin feeling surprisingly glowing. I rate this product a 4/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Also in this months box was a $25 gift voucher to The Iconic (after minimum spend $49) which is pretty good and I might use it to buy some perfume this week. There was also a 15% voucher on any full-sized Integrity Cosmetics skin care which I probably wont use. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Overall an okay box from GlossyBox and for their final box I really wasn't expecting anything amazing. I have been increasingly disappointed each month with GlossyBox and was happy to hear to Lust Have It! had bought them out as I was no longer going to subscribe to them. </span></div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04639459285980550486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766133464349464454.post-86326380666773024742012-04-30T08:24:00.001+10:002012-04-30T08:24:14.897+10:00I Love This Box April 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I was super excited to receive my first I Love This Box this month. I have been eyeing off their boxes for awhile now and decided to give them a go to see how they stack up against other beauty sample subscriptions boxes. The packaging was great and sealed beautifully. Big downfall though with the mineral blush going through the whole box and covering the other products with a lovely bronzed powder. They also included 2 little Red Tulip Easter eggs which is a nice touch. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>1) Chikki Natural Salon Quality Mineral Blush</b> RRP $40 for 5g Sample size: sachet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Nasties-free mineral blush suitable for sensitive skin. It is a very lovely shade but just a tiny touch too metallic for my own personal preference. Feels wonderfully silky when applied though. I rate this product a 3/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2<b>) Avado Sensitives Certified Organic Gel Exfoliant</b> RRP $14.99 for 100ml Sample size: 100ml (full-sized product).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I really loved using this product. I got my ILTB box 4 days ago and have been using this product everyday since I got it and its a wonderfully gentle yet thorough exfoliant. I rate this product a 5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>3) Shanga Mineral Eyeshadow (in Orchid)</b> RRP $24.95 for 1g Sample size: 1g (full-sized product).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm not a fan of loose eye shadows to start with and I didn't find this shadow to be pigmented enough, and I got a really dark purple almost black shade. Its not a bad product, I just wouldn't pay that price for it when there are so many better shadows out there for that price! I rate this product a 2/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>4) Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipcolour</b> RRP $16.95 Sample size: full-sized product.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This is a very rich & creamy lip colour and glides on nicely. I'm not a huge lipstick wearer so personally I wouldn't go too nuts over it. I got the Autumn Rush shade which really does remind me of Autumn and is a nice brown-red colour. A little dark for my liking but still a nice product. I rate this product a 3.5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>5) Just D'Lish Soap</b> RRP $5 for 100g Sample size: 100g (full-sized product).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As soon as I opened the box this amazing scent just overwhelmed the senses! I got the sage & pomegranate scent and it is just divine! I haven't used this soap yet as I have a few still in rotation and didn't want to open yet another soap to clutter my bathroom so am just using it to make my room smell pretty. Based on scent alone I rate this product a 5/5! So yummy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Overall I was really impressed with this month's box. 4 full sized products is nothing to sneeze at and the products themselves were all a really nice mix. Maybelline was the only product I had heard of before so its always nice to try out new brands. A great sample box! </span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I always look forward to Beauty Basket each month. I think they are a very under-rated beauty sample company but they are always amazing in my eyes and don't disappoint. Unlike every other beauty sample box service, Beauty Basket advertise what will be in each months box on their website in advance so you know what you are getting. This month's box was a nice little selection of products:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>1) Goldwell Dualsenses Rich Repair 60 sec Treatment </b>RRP $20.95 for 200ml Sample size: 50ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm always on the lookout for amazing hair treatments and totally excited to give this a try tonight after my workout. And one that works in 60 seconds is even better for us time-poor chicks who cant spend forever in the shower. I will rate this later this week after I use it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>2) John Plunkett Advanced Instant Wrinkle Filler</b> RRP $39.95 for 20ml Sample size: 10ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am a big lover all things 'primer' and just want to say I LOVE this stuff! It really does have that lovely gel-powder finish and it kept my make-up on all day and it looked flawless. I rate this product a 4.5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>3) Innoxa Nail Polish</b> RRP $13.95 Sample size: full-sized product</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I do love getting nail polishes in my monthly beauty boxes and was excited to get this one. I got the 'plush velvet' shade which is a beautiful red wine colour which is a colour I lack in my nail polish collection so am excited to use this. It sets beautifully & quick as well. Cute packaging too. I rate this polish a 5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>4) U Little Beauty Dinki-Di Day Cream</b> RRP $22.95 for 75ml Sample size: 30ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm always excited to try new moisturisers, I always tend to go through moisturisers so much faster then all my other skin-care products! This vitamin-C rich cream has a lovely tangy but creamy scent and feels ultra-nourishing on the skin but non-greasy. A really nice product, I rate it a 4.5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>5) Avon Supershock MAX Mascara </b>RRP $22.99 for 10g Sample size: 10g full-sized product</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Firstly I LOVE the packaging of this mascara- a beautiful metallic green wand. The brush itself is massive and did surprise me a bit at first but it applies like a dream with no clumps (yay) and made my lashes super massive! I seem to get a mascara with every beauty sample box lately so have a million in my collection but this one certainly stands out! I rate this product a 4.5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I also received the latest issue of Just Be magazine (not pictured) in this months box and am looking forward to reading this on the weekend! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Overall I am once again super happy with this month's Beauty Basket. 2 full-sized products and 3 very generous sized samples and packaged in a lovely wicker basket as always. I highly recommend subscribing to them for anyone pondering whether to or not. </span></div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04639459285980550486noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766133464349464454.post-42424316938896321962012-04-19T14:39:00.000+10:002012-04-19T14:40:27.439+10:00Lust Have It!

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Lust Have It! has to be one of my favourite beauty sample subscription boxes and I because I hold them so high on my list I am always nervous to see what each month's box contains for the fear of it being disappointing. This months box is probably my most favourite of all the boxes I ever received from any subscription service. Lets have a look why:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>1) DeLorenzo Elements Ocean Mist Sea Salt Styling Spray</b> RRP $23.95 for 195ml Sample size: 195mls (full-sized product)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I LOVE sea salt hair styling products and am excited to try this product. Even though sea salt sprays are meant for that tousled, beach look, I started using sea salt sprays for straightening my hair on the advice of my hairdresser and was amazed to see the difference in my hair after straightening. Usually after straightening my hair it tends to lack any volume and with sea salt spray I get that volume back so I highly recommend trying it! I will rate this product when I straighten my hair tomorrow with it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>2) Spa Fresh Blends Romantic Discovery</b> RRP $15.95 for 250ml Sample size: approx 40ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This is a tub tonic (or bath salts) infused with the essential oils of sweet orange, bergamot & ylang ylang. I don't take baths very often but this stuff smells absolutely divine and I will use it tomorrow to soak in then rate it then. Cant wait to try it out, especially as I have never heard of this brand before.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>3) True Solutions All Day Tinted Moisturising Cream</b> SPF 30+ RRP $60 for 100ml Sample size: 20ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Another brand I have never heard of before, this 'clinical strength moisturiser combines sun protection & light coverage with intensive hydrating properties to give a healthy glow to skin. This foundation definitely has a very strong sunscreen smell which would put me off buying it but its very lightweight & non-greasy which is so important for a tinted moisturiser/sunscreen. I was lucky enough to receive a shade that matches my skin tone perfectly and will definitely use this for those days out in the sun when a full application of make-up is not appropriate (or too hot for!) I rate this product a 4.5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>4) I Nuovi Glitteratti Cosmetic Glitter</b> RRP $19.95 for 2.5g Sample size: 2.5g (full-sized product)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This professional cosmetic glitter can be used anywhere on the body. I got the silver colour which is a really nice subtle colour as I cant really think of anywhere I would probably use this but its nice to know I have some on hand if an occasion called for it! The product itself is very nice though and as far as face & body glitters go it is of a great quality in a cute little pot. I rate this product a 4/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>5) EmerginC </b>products RRP Cleanser $44 (120ml), Mask $65 (50ml) and Moisturiser $105 (50ml) Sample size: 3ml of each</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have heard of EmerginC skin products before but are yet to try them so was super excited to get these this month. I imagine you would only get one use out of each little pouch which makes it hard to rate a skincare product but I will use it tonight and rate it tomorrow on how it feels. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Overall I am over the moon with this months Lust Have It! and the cute little make-up bag that it all came in too! Top job LHI crew!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Just to note, I received an email this morning from Lust Have It! & Glossybox to say that LHI had acquired Glossybox and the 2 companies would be joining forces under the Lust Have It! brand. This will be an interesting future development. Glossybox has always been on the bottom of my favourites list with these boxes and Lust Have It! at the top so I am hoping that Lust Have It! continues to bring us the high standard of products that they always have and that Glossybox doesn't have too much of an influence on those standards. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Its that time again my little rabbit beauties! Sample box time! Kicking off the April boxes is BellaBox. The theme this month is 'around the world in fashion' to celebrate Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>1) Hollywood Feet Heel Cushions</b> RRP $9.95 for 2 pair Sample Size: 2 pair (full-sized product)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">These gel cushions sit under your heels in your stiletto's so you don't get sore tootsies while being discreet so you still look fabulous. I have used this product before and they are great so was happy to get some more in this months box. I rate this product a 5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>2) OP Therapy Body Hydrator</b> RRP $19 for 75mls Sample size: 75mls (full-sized product)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This is an unscented cream for sensitive skin and also good to relieve symptoms of dry & chapped skin, sunburn and other skin ailments. It has a very rich texture and feels super creamy to apply. I am going to make this my new hand cream this month as I get flaky hands from washing my hands a million times a day at work and this cute tube is perfect to carry around. I also like that it is 100% Aussie and not tested on animals. I rate this product a 4.5/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>3) pure DKNY Verbena</b> RRP $80 for 30mls Sample size: approx 3mls</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love getting perfume samples with these boxes! This smells absolutely divine and I will definitely be adding it my wish list! I rate this fragrance a 5/5.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>4) ULTA3 Nail Polish</b> RRP $2 for 13mls Sample size: 13ml (full sized product)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I got the colour Jade which is a lovely metallic green and for a cheap as chips nail polish its really nice! I was pleasantly surprised with the texture of this polish and we will see how it stands up to durability at my personal training session tonight. I rate this product a 4/5. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>5) Comvita Brightening Range</b> RRP between $45- $79 for the whole range Sample size: 1.5ml of each. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So these 3 little sachets have the brightening facial serum, exfoliant & protective moisturiser (SPF 15). The magic ingredient is the olive leaf extract which is an anti-oxidant powerhouse to give bright & clear skin. I am excited to try these tonight and will rate them again later! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>6) Benefit Hello Flawless Foundation</b> RRP $55 for 30mls Sample size: 5ml</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This was the one I was waiting for! I am a huge huge fan of Benefit Cosmetics and was stoked to hear when Bellabox announced a partnership with these guys. I received the 'petal' shade which matched my skin perfectly! It goes on like a dream and the coverage is just amazing! I think I have found my new everyday foundation! I rate this a product a 6/5 (yes I can do that!!) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Overall I was really impressed with this month's Bellabox and the overall theme. If you are considering subscribing to Bellabox I highly recommend them- I have loved all their boxes so far and am yet to be disappointed! </span></div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04639459285980550486noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766133464349464454.post-1062586258382115262012-04-06T14:22:00.000+10:002012-04-06T14:22:16.011+10:00Shimmer Cubes<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am totally in LOVE with these shimmer cubes from <a href="http://www.thebodyshop.com.au/">The Body Shop</a>. I know they are considered an 'old' product now but they are on my list as one of my all time fave beauty buys. I have 2 sets- palette 06 & palette 23. They retail for $40.95 each and to me that is a bargain! Each set contains 4 colours and these little cubes of magic are very deep and will last forever. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I am reviewing a little product called Lemon aid from one of my newly favourite beauty companies <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/">Benefit Cosmetics</a>. This is a colour correcting eyelid primer. So how does it work? You apply it to your eyelids either before your eye make-up or on its own. The yellow pigment helps disguise any dark skin in the eye area so your eye make-up colour isn't distorted by dark colours underneath and makes it more professional looking. This is a great product for people like me who have natural 'panda eyes' as I call them- the skin in my eye area is so much darker then the skin on the rest of my face thanks to genetics (thanks Dad!) plus add in shift work and lack of sleep and its easy for the eye area to look dark & dull. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see by the swatch above it is very light in colour and would be suitable worn on its own just to give the eyes a subtle facelift. It retails for about $20 and the pot will literally last you a lifetime! I have been using mine mostly everyday for about 2 weeks now and have barely made a dint in it, you really don't need much. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a primer I wouldn't really say it works like a primer. To me, a primer is meant to make your make-up stick on for longer and I don't really find a difference with the longevity of my make-up with or without this product. It does a great job at colour correcting my dark eyes which is why I love it but I don't love it for the sole purpose of priming. </span></div>
