LHI August Birthday box!!

I've been very late with this box.  
My month filled up so quickly!

This is the Lust Have It August Beauty Box, and unfortunately it is also the last in the affiliate program.  

This flatlay will just NOT rotate, no matter what I do with it.





It's their birthday!



The Cosmetic Kitchen Raw Cacao Bath Salts
Full Size: $24.95

I've had these before and they are pretty awesome.  If you have the face mask and the foot mask, make them both up and while those do their magic, run your bath.  By the time the masks are ready to wash off, you can soak in even MORE chocolate!






OFRA Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick - Mocha
Full Size: $27

Try saying that 10 times fast!

It's a moisturing lipstick with a matt finish.  It's not gonna hold through eating or drinking though.  Make sure that you are able to apply it throughout the day if you're going out for a lunch or dinner date.








Manna Kadar Radiance split pan bronzer and highlight
Full Size: $28

It is very sparkly!  I'm not a huge contourer, so I will probably use this as an eyeshadow duo.  








GOSH Mineral Pigments - Pink Melon
Full Size: $14

This is an interesting pigment.  It looks pink in the jar, and pink on the skin, but it has a very orange flash.
It is very sheer though.  I need to experiment with using this wet.



This is what I mean by pink and orange... it has a pink/orange thing going for it.  








Baimeni Eye & Face Serum.
Full Size: $42 (30ml).  Sample: $3.57 (3ml)

This was listed as being a full size item on the info sheet, with a value of $25, so I have NO idea what actually happened between the info card being printed and the box being shipped.  I'm not really sure what it is, or how to use it.  It's not a hell of a lot of oil - even the body shop oil of life is twice the size, and that's only 7ml.  




There was meant to be bonus "affiliate" gift, but it was missed out.  I kinda wish that it was there!


Cost of the Box: $19.95 AU
Value of this box: $97.52.

It claimed to be "OVER $100 value" but mine just falls short.  I'm not unhappy with it.  



Click on the image to get your first box $10 off.  It's pretty good value!


I had a lot of fun with this affiliate program and got to experience a tonne of new products that I would of never seen before!

Thanks so much for letting me be part of it for the last 2 years!

Lust Have It June Box


June's Lust Have It box came to me in the middle of winter, so I ended up taking these photos on the only sunny day in the middle ofJuly (NZ gets their boxes a week or two later than Aussie), which meant that it was the end of the day and the shadows were being unhelpful.






Nice looking assortment of bits and bobs.


In true Stacey fashion, I lost the card that came with everything.  No prices listed, but if your Google-Fu is up to scratch, you should be able to find most things online.






The Cosmetic Kitchen
Peppermint Foot Mask

You have to mix it with a bit of oil and water to make a paste, and sit and relax for a while as it does its thing.

Because you only need a tablespoon or so, I would love for these to come in resealable bags, so I can keep the rest dry.






The Cosmetic Kitchen
Dry Body Scrub

You're meant to grab a handful and rub/buff it into your skin before a shower.  It has coffee, bergamont and sugar.  You could probably eat it, but don't use it as a face scrub or on open wounds.





Nak Thermal Shield

I'm not a huge user of heated hair products (I have zero patience for doing my own hair) so I've given this to my sister to try, as she has a GHD and uses it often.

It smells divine, and if it was a dry shampoo or a leave in conditioner, I would be loving it forever.






Chapstick Hydration Lock

I love chapsticks, and I love the dual-ended ones.  I have the Mixstix, and what I like about them, is that both ends are the "right" end.

I keep this one at work so I can use it during my breaks.

No strong flavour, and no colour, its the perfect little potion to wear with a lipstick.  Use side 1 first, wait a bit, then apply your colour, wait a bit, then put side 2 over the top.






Teeze Eve's Ready To Wear Lipstick
Caramel

And if you are looking for a lipstick, Teeze has it.
The packaging is just gorgeous.  How could you say no to that box art!



The box art continues onto the lid of the lipstick, and I'm digging the classic silver tube.



This colour is just a lovely semi glossy flat colour.  Not a tonne of shimmer, no sparkles, just a slick of colour.
It works well with my skin tone, and I've worn it a few times.







All in all a good box this month!

I loved the Chapstick and the Teeze, I'm a fan of the smell of the hair protector, and I'll find some water-proof containers to decant the body scrub and foot mask into before I use them.
