I have discovered two so far and received my first boxes last month.
Lust Have It! is a beauty box subscription. For $14.95/month you get a box full of 5-6 'premium' samples.
The idea of the beauty box subscription is to introduce consumers to new products that they may not otherwise have tried. Many of the products in the box are sample size, but still a good enough size for decent usage to test the effectiveness of the product.
I wasn't sure what to expect with these beauty box subscriptions. I decided to give it a go for a few months and if I didn't like it, I would cancel my subscription. I received my Bella Box first (which I will blog about later), and my Lust Have It! box arrived a week later. The Lust Have It! box was, in my opinion, much better value.
Click this link for a more in depth description of what each product does and what was included in the box. Note, not ALL products listed were in the box, this is the list of what they chose from, so the December box would contain 5-6 of these products.
To be honest, I haven't had a chance to really test these products, but now that I have taken them out of their box, I will make a concerted effort to try them. I hope to review the actual products effectiveness in future boxes.
Here is the box and it's contents (please excuse the crappy photography, I am still getting used to my camera and only just discovered the macro setting in the Bella Box photos...):
Here's the box in all its seam bursting glory. Apparently this is the first time they have not put the products in a nice bag. Instead, it was just shoved in a box (with packing ribbon to cushion it). I didn't know any different, so I was cool with it.
Marc Jacobs Daisy sample - I was a bit excited to see this in the box. I have coveted this perfume for quite a while, however with its exxy price, I have put off buying it. This sample is more than enough to quench my hunger for it, and may just make me decide I do in fact NEED this perfume in my life. I have a birthday coming up...
Pelactiv Facial Refiner Deep Cleansing Scrub - I am curious to use this product. I am a devout Clinique user and have felt the wrath of my skin every time I try to change to a different skin care product (uh, hello uber expensive Lancome, sorry, but my skin HATED you...). I am always looking for a good scrub. One to use once a week to give my pores a good clean out. Clinique has a good one, but I will be giving this bad boy a try tonight.
Benefit Mascara They're Real Mascara - I have a love/hate relationship with mascara. I NEED to use it. My eyelashes almost look non-existent without it. But I am yet to acquire the skill required to apply it flawlessly. My lashes often look clumpy and due to my habit of subconsciously rubbing my eyes and fiddling with my crusty mascara riddled lashes, I am prone to panda eyes. I am using a Clinique mascara at the moment that washes off in 'bits' in warm water, so that bit I like, but the wand leaves a little bit to be desired. I'm gonna give this Benefit mascara a whirl the next time I go out. The wand looks quite impressive and according to their spiel, it doesn't smudge, budge or dry out. Three things I like in a mascara.
Glasshouse Fragrances Nourishing Hand Cremes - I LOVE their candles, so I can only assume that the fragrance in their hand cremes will be just as awesome. I have desperately wanted to use these, but they almost seem too good to use. Don't despair, I will be giving one of these beauties a whirl later on this afternoon. With my new found obsession with polish comes the necessity that is acetone to remove polish and to 'clean-up'. This has dried my poor phalanges and I am always on the lookout for awesome hand creams.
Naked Tan Goddess Shimmer - This lovely smells divine and leaves a gorgeous sparkle on the skin. However, I'm stumped as to where I would wear this. To the beach? Out to dinner? Just because? I'm sure I'll find a reason to wear it, if not only because I love sparkles!
Catwalk by Tigi Sessions Series Finishing Hair Spray - I'm kinda new to the hair product world. I have been slowly acquiring hair products over the past couple of months, however I have steered clear of hairspray so as to avoid 'crispy' hair. Funnily enough, I bought a light weight hair spray just two days ago... This hairspray claims to be brushable and light-weight. So I will surely give it a whirl and due to its compact size, it will most likely travel with me.
Lust Have It! Exfoliating Glove - When I first saw this in the box, I wasn't sure what it was. For a small while there I thought it might have been a mini hot water bottle cover. Turns out it's an exfoliating glove. I love exfoliating gloves and use my trusty Body Shop ones every night. I'm not sure if I will use this one though. There is no loop to hang it in your bathroom and I quite like the actual glove like qualities of my Body Shop gloves (they have actual FINGERS).
All in all, I LOVED this box. For just $15/month, that is HEAPS of value. Lust Have It! have a lot to live up to in their next boxes, though from looking at what has been included in previous boxes, I'm doubtful that they will disappoint.
