Hope December finds you well and not too frazzled from Christmas shopping!! In the style of Bellabox my Lust Have It has arrived early and I have to admit I was excited for the early pressie!!! So I will get straight into the November review!!!
Aveda Botanical Kinetics Tourmaline Charged Hydrating Cream and Exfoliating Cleanser.
I have mixed feelings about these two. I love the cute travel sized tubes and both products work well but the exfoliating cleanser does have a strange smell and you definitely get more cleanser than exfoliator in the product. The moisturiser goes on smooth and does absorb quite nicely so overall a good duo.
Davroe Wellbeing Treatment Replenish Creme
Really enjoying this the smell is gorgeous and it leaves my now short hair really soft and smooth. Since cutting my hair from nearly waist length to just above my shoulders I can really work product through my hair and I feel I'm getting better results so I will keep using this one.
Palmers Coca Butter Formula Gentle Exfoliating Facial Scrub.
This is again one that has more cleanser to exfoliating ratio. Having said that having a little less scrub to it means that I can use it more often than my Neutrogena one. The cocoa smell is also really nice.
Benefit They're Real Mascara
This definitely give va va voom lashes and does take a bit of practice to get right particularly with the extra spikes at the end of the brush. Its a really strong formula and by that I mean your lashes are separated, lengthened and curled and stay in place all day long and it does take a little bit more effort to remove. Not sure if its a holy grail for me yet but I will keep using and will most likely include in my next mascara madness.
Mary Kay Thinking of you perfume
Have not tried this yet I put the sachet into my travel toiletries to use while I'm away on holidays.
Mary Kay Energising Foot Scrub
This has a really heady peppermint scent but its the first foot scrub I have used in a while that really works. Its the perfect balance between scrub particles and cleanser which actually foams up so is really nice in the shower and when soaking your feet. I have really enjoyed using it and my feet definitely look nicer for the sandal wearing weather!!!
Ok So onto Decembers Box. Now I have to say after all the great things I received in Novembers box I was really excited to see what Decembers box would bring LHI have really impressed me this year with consistently good boxes month after month. So I was excited to receive another early Christmas gift!!! But this box is a little disappointing very heavy on the skin care and hair care products with no colour makeup or gift type product. As a this is the last box has for the year and has been given within the month that includes Christmas and New Year I expected a bit more of a present type box.
This is Maybelline's original version of a BB cream and I have to say that although I have received a full size tube in the right shade. This BB cream really does nothing for me. Its a very light coverage and isn't really buildable and on my oily combination skin even powdered down it really doesn't last. This one will go into my give away box!!
Maybelline New York Dream Pure BB Cream received a sample sachet in the shade Medium.
LHI have included this on their card as a product!!! For me that is a little cheeky on their part given that its only a sample and clearly we have received a full size of the original version in the range this is really just a sample of the newest version. I also have to admit that I would have been happier with this box if this was the other way around. I prefer the Dream Pure BB to the Dream Fresh. This is a really great BB cream and after trying the sachet from the October BellaBox (and I'm sorry I now realise this wasn't in my review of the box) I was hooked. It goes on light but is buildable. It covers redness and blemishes and does last all day even without powder although I do normally powder for extra coverage. Oil control wise it is defiantly better at being less shiny at the end of the day. Really enjoy this one already have a full size!!
Pelactiv Gentle Foaming Cleanser received a 30ml sample full size is 150ml.
Always love a good cleanser and the 30ml size is great for travel this one says it is pH balanced and helps to prevent breakouts and leave skin soft and supple can't wait to try.
Uriage Aquaprecis Refreshing Gel Cream received a 15ml sample size full size is 40ml.
Have not used a gel cream moisturiser so am interested to see how this one goes its included technology says it provides an immediate refreshing sensation and moisturises for up to 24 hours. Interested to try although I do have heaps of samples on the go at the moment!!!
Sunsense Anti Aging Face SPF 30+ received a full size bottle.
I think this is the first anti aging product I am really excited to try. I have used and enjoyed many products from this brand before and I am a liberal user of sunscreen and sunscreen based products. I am also about to get some beach time so will definitely take this with me!!!
Clairol Visible Intensive Mask received a 30ml sample full size is 200ml.
Interested to try this one as I said earlier in the post I have short hair now so feel I get a bit more out of product. This says that it strengthens and repairs for more shiner hair will give it a whirl.
So overall an ok box for Lust Have It and as I said previously would have liked a bit more of a treat for the month of December but I do have some new products to try and will most likely take them with me when I travel this month. Overall I have received some great products from LHI this year and consistency with the boxes has been good!! So until next month (and next year) I hope you are all doing well, enjoy your Christmas and New Year stay safe and Happy Reading and Happy Shopping!!!
Ever.
I enjoyed both boxes but I agree, a bit more makeup would be welcome! Nonetheless, I'll still use all the samples :)
