Lust Have It April and March Review

Hey Readers, Hope the weekend finds you well!! Have recieved my April LHI and thought it was time I share my review of the products in my March box and show you what I recieved in my new one!!!!

March LHI Review

BioElixia BodyShaper Cellulite Contour Creme
I can not really give this one a proper review as I haven't really given it ago. Despite the fact I don't visually have the effects of cellulite I also do not really like the smell. With creams and lotions smell is really a motivator for me as to how much use it really gets and I just have not reached for this at all.

Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray
Have really enjoyed this inclusion, I was so excited to give it a try and absolutley delighted when I learnt that it really works!! I Could not believe my eyes the first day when usually half way through the day when you can see my oily T zone shinning I looked the same as I did that morning. Amazing!!! I will say though to make sure you do apply before your mascara I  did forget one day and ended up with mascara flakes under my eyes!! Ooops!!!

The Natural Source Camoflage Colour Crayons
Initially I was unsure about these crayons, while said to be muti purpose able to be used on the face and body I felt the colours really were restricting for use on the eyes and lips. I also found just by swatching on my hand that they didn't really set and smudged quite easily. They also seemed to be a little on the fragile side so wasn't sure if they would travel well. But I gave it ago and decided maybe they were more suited to being used as a base rather than a liner. Ability to be smudged easily worked in my favour and blended out they really do stay put. I used the light pink on the inner half of my eye and and burgandy red on the outer half with the shades from theBalm's Nude'tude pallette Stubborn and Sexy over the top and black eyeliner and mascara equaled a simple smokey glam look. The light pink also makes for a really quick inner corner highlight not something I usually worry about but have found of late really lifts an eye look and brightens the eyes even when you can't be bothered to do much else other than mascara.

DeLorenzo Essential Treatment Equilibrium
At first I really thought this was the product for me but after reading the instructions I really didn't think it would get a lot of use. I really do not have the time to wash my hair, put the treatment in, wait 5-10mins and then wash out. So... I cheated post washing my hair I would squeeze as much water out of my hair as possible add the treatment wash, shave etc then wash out. Probably not as much time as required but I have definetly seen results. My hair feels smoother, healthier and smells quite pretty I've really been enjoying this one as if your short on time recommend my little short cut!!! he he!!

Ocean Essence Gold Eye Cream
As I said in my previous post a decent eye cream but given I had already given this a go and while I enjoyed using it at the time I thought I would regift this one. Have not been able to do that just yet but I am hoping the new owner to be will enjoy it as much as I did.

April Lust Have It




So enough of my rambling and onto the products I recieved in this months box!!!

Molton Brown Patchouli and Saffron Body Wash recieved 30ml Deluxe sample full size is 300ml 
The smell of this really packs a punch but I am still interested to give it a try and see what it is like. 



Gosh Cosmetics Mono Eye Shadow full size in the shade 010 Light Brown
This eyeshadow is a neutral light coppery toned brown that will definitely fit very well in my collection. While I probably own way too many of these coloured eye shadows. I am glad I've been sent a colour I will give a try straight away its not overly shimmery or glittery so am interested to see how it applies and wears.



Goldwell Dualsenses Ultra Volume Shampoo recieved a 100ml deluxe sample and full size is 300ml.
This is a gel shampoo that uses instant micro fluid technology, volume systems with micro minerals (not quite sure what all that means!!!) to increase the volume of fine hair. I am interested to give this a try. My hair is quite fine so any volume enhancement would be a plus it also smells quite good as well. 



John Plunkett Essentials Anti Ageing Creme Cleanser and Makeup Remover recieved 40ml deluxe sample full size 100ml.
Am a little bit excited to try this one its a brand I've known for a while and have used products on and off without dissapointment. It also is dual purpose being able to be used with and without water for removing makeup and cleansing.  While I'm not into anti ageing products really I am interested to see what its like whether it really is a no tear formula and if it is as effective with water and without.




Pink Tiger Duri Cosmetics Nail Tool-Nail file and Lint Free Gauze full size items.
Not sure what to say about these two as I am not really as excited about them as the other products I have received. At the same time they are essentials to any mani/pedi session so I will probably get some use out of them. 





Overall I am really excited by this box and cannot wait to try the products I have recieved in this month loving the variety and quality overall. Can wait to give everything a go!!!!

As I received an email from LHI last month saying that they would be increasing their subscription price to $19.95 and giving the opportunity to sign on for 12 months subscription at the current price $14.95. I have signed on to receive this box for the next year. While I am not opposed to paying a little more for this box given the standard of the boxes overall has been consistent with variety and quality high. I still will be watching and hoping that I receive twelve great boxes so when it comes to resubbscribing it really is a no brainer!!! I had also felt that with changes to postage costs and the general cost of living that at some point an increase in the price was really inevitable. Hopefully it stays affordable and I can continue discovering new products for many more years to come!!!

Hope you are all doing well!!!
Talk Soon
Ever.
