Lust Have It March

Excuse the terrible photo's I had to use my iphone this week as I can't find my camera again... I'm hopeless haha. Anyhow this is my first lust have it box, and I am so super impressed! This by far has been the best box I have received out of them ALL! Everything in this box was something I am interested in and can use in everyday life and of great quality. Not to mention this month there are four full sized products and one deluxe sample, we got around $100 worth of goodies for $14.95! How amazing is that?! The Davroe Argan very much lives up to its description, it smooth the hair without oilyness and it smells divine with the musk jasmine scent. Anything that is natural and organic that is a fix for my fluffy mop is a plus for me. The Dito nail polish design is great, it does make it a lot easier to paint your nails, but I got a bit of a weird colour that doesn't look all that good on me. (I've only used it once if anyone is up for swaps comment below) The 1skin lipbalm is great and very moisturisrising, just like every other lip balm I own. I think that the lipbalms have been a little over done throughout all the boxes now, maybe a lipstick or gloss would be better now. Kosmea is a brand I have taken great interest in since receiving the face mist in one of my first boxes. I love the scent of there products. I now use this cream as a base for make up or on it's own before bed. Mirenesse are such a great brand with great quality products, I have so many of their products now. The eye shadows are amazing in colour and pigmentation and as you can see from the swatch I received a gorgeous bluey silver pallete.

Overall this box is my favourite by far. Due to some financial issues all my boxes are cancelled currently until I am back on my feet again. I will only be re subbing to lust have it upon my beauty box return!

Schwarzkopf Taft Full On Styling Powder

Over time I have tried so many different products to create the tussled look, salt spray, dry shampoos and so on. I have recently read a few reviews on the Schwarzkopf Osis and really wanted to try it, but with the price tag of $25 I was a little put off. After a little research I found out that the Taft version with a $7 price tag contained the same ingredients, lucky for me because it is amazing. A shake a little on and around my roots and then use my finger tips to rub it in and fluff up my hair a bit. Back combing helps with volume and the powder is very mattifying and has good hold. Unlike hair spray it can be re-moulded as many times throughout the day. Very happy I managed to find a cheaper but just as effective alternative.

Garnier Roll-on Anti Dark Circles in Light

After hearing many great reviews on this product, I just had to get it for myself. I'm so glad I did, because I love it. Basically it is a roll on tint aimed at helping to cover and reduce dark circles, which I tend to have a lot of regardless of the sleep I have or have not gotten. It feels amazing applying this, you just roll it on under your eyes and gently pat it in to you skin with your finger tips. It blends away very easily and evens the skin tone under the eyes while still looking natural and feeling fresh. Another great thing I find with this is the ball roller is nice and cold, adding to the fresh, awake feeling. The roll on works great alone and with or under a foundation base. I would recommend this to anyone having troubles with dark circles, but this would not hide full on bags haha. I have also heard great things about Garnier's BB miracle skin perfecter cream and am looking at picking it up next time I am at my local pharmacy. What do you guys think of it?

It's all about the face: Face care products.

One of my first posts was about all the face care products I used at the time. A few months down the track and it seems as if it has changed dramatically. I have now added a few more face products to my collection and stopped using some of the things I spoke about before. These are the products I use regularly.

I fell in love with  L'Oreal Perfect Clean - Exfoliating Gentle Apricot Scrub with the cleanPod the first time I used it. The scent is very sweet and apricotty and it is almost like a runny gel. You squeeze around a 10 cent coin sized amount on to the cleanpod and then in small circles clean your face with it. I find that with the help of the cleanpod, all my makeup is removed and my face is left feeling fresh. (Aside from my eyes of course) On my eyes I use either Bobbi Brown Cleansing Oil or Nivea Daily Cleansing Wipes for Sensitive Skin, both remove my eye makeup really well without leaving any traces behind or hurting my eyes. I used to use toner that was alcohol based, but found it was probably a little to harsh on my skin for prolonged use and am now on the hunt for a new alcohol free toner. I am swaying towards the Simple Soothing Facial Toner as it is alcohol free and pH balanced.

Sometimes if I am having a bad week with breakouts I use Proactiv Deep Cleansing Wash with the cleanpod to help clear up any nasties. After face cleansers/toners I usually apply some sort of moisturiser/primer. There are a fair few I select from depending on what time of day it is and if I will be applying make up or not. Right before bed I apply Nivea Q10 Plus Night Cream or Olay Total Effects. Yes, they are anti wrinkle creams, but they are so thick and lovely and my skin always feels amazing in the morning. Before makeup I apply Benefit That Gal Brightening Primer and if I am not wearing make up for the day I usually apply some POD Liquid Face Tan Serum instead of tinted moisturiser because they always end up making me look extremely oily.

A few different products I have bought over time that are now in my cupboard are:
St Ives Apricot Scrub, which is a really exfoliating scrub with ground apricot shell. I have now found out that natural exfoliators, although sounding great, are bad for your skin as they are not uniform shapes and can sometimes be damaging to the skin.
Clearasil Blackhead Scrub, Clearasil Ultra Overnight Scrub, Clearasil Ultra Pimples + Marks Wash and Mask all of which are great and work really well, but upon ordering Proactiv and using their products these have sort of been forgotten about.
LilyLovesPearl Exfoliating Scrub which I don't really like much at all. The scent is strange and sometimes makes me feel ill and there is not enough of the exfoliating crystals for it too feel like a scrub.
Garnier Pure Active ExfoBrush is pretty awesome. It's easy to use and has a tingling effect which is always good in my opinion. Once again has been forgotten about since Proactiv and L'Oreal came along.

Fomula 10.0.6 Toner which is just far too harsh for my skin and is drying due to containing alcohol.
Along with a whole bunch of face creams that I should really stop buying.

Well I think that pretty much sums it up. If you have any questions or want a detailed review of any of the products mention, or have some recommendations for me, leave me a comment :)
