Lust Have It August 2012

This month was LHI's first birthday. To celebrate they changed back to a box with a bow on it, which I liked. There's only so many cosmetics bags one can have. I was expecting the box to be birthday themed, but alas it wasn't. Instead it just felt like random products.

Here's what I got in my box...

TanGo Tanning Glove

I embrace my paleness and tan maybe once a year, so this won't be used for tanning. It's a microfiber cloth, so it will be used to remove my make up instead. It's a different item that no other beauty box has included before, which is always nice. I love getting new products that are different. While you might not like the new item, it's fun to try something completely different.

From what I can see from other blogs, this was in every box. And it's not a glove, it's a cloth. It also has on the LHI card that it's worth $29.95, but on the website it is $21.95 (which includes a tin with it).

Bed Head "Glaze Haze" Smoothing Hair Serum (60mls)

This is apart of their "Candy Fixations" range. It has a slightly sweet scent, that is really nice. The serum is easy to distribute in your hair and doesn't leave it oily. It leaves your hair smooth, shiny and hydrated. It's also supposed to help quicken up your drying time. One thing that made me laugh is on the bottle it says "This hair care product is not a confectionery and must not be consumed." 

Now on the LHI card it says that the full size is 50mls and $25.95, but I received 60mls. So I think this is full size, but I'm not sure if it's actually $25.95.

Pure Fiji Nourishing Exotic Oil in "Orange Blossom" (sample)

I adore Pure Fiji products, so I'm excited to get this. It's perfect for travelling with. The smell is really beautiful and it contains coconut oil and nut extract to moisturise with.

Shiseido Perfect Rouge Lipstick in RD 305 - "Salon" (2.5gms)

I really like having make up in my box and this is a cute mini lipstick. I was one of the lucky ones to have this in my box. It's a moisturising formula that is more of a matte finish. 

The colour looks dark in the packaging but once you apply it to your lips it comes up as more of a raspberry colour. It's really pretty.

While it says that it's long lasting, I found it came off when I had my lunch. But because the colour is so pretty it's worth the hassle of reapplying. 

Wet 'N' Wild Clear Basecoat (10mls)

On the LHI card, it goes on about how there's no trace of imperfections, uniform coating and intense elegance. But I was sent a clear basecoat, so it's really hard to see if the claims match the product. 

Marc Jacobs "Dot" Eau De Parfum Spray (1.2ml sample)

I adore Marc Jacobs "Daisy" and had high expectations for "Dot." I had mentioned a few weeks ago that I smelt it and was slightly disappointed in it. It's not bad, but it's not great. Which is surprising since it has jasmine and berries (both which I adore). But it just doesn't mesh well. I'm glad that I got a sample so I could use it for a few days to see if the smell grows on me.

One thing that is slightly annoying is that on the LHI card, it states that this is an "exclusive pre-release of this beautiful perfume before it goes on sale in stores." The problem with this is that the perfume was released on either the 6th or 7th of August in Australia. While they got the samples before the pre-release date, they didn't send out their boxes until after the release date. This, along with the incorrect information on the card about the Bed Head and TanGo product frustrates me. ALSO on one side of the card it has "Bold and beautiful July lust haves". IT'S AUGUST!! Seriously LHI. You need someone to double check. One incorrect information is fine, but 4 on 1 card, just seems thoughtless and like no one cares. 

While the box is great (I love the products), it's the other stuff that has members getting frustrated. No tracking has been a big complaint on their Facebook page and on blogs. 

Hopefully next month will be another fabulous box with a correct card and better communication. PLEASE use email as a way of keeping customers up to date, not just your FB page.

What did you think of your box?
