Lust Have It February 2013

I am so disappointed in this month's box, it would hands down have to be THE worst box LHI has EVER sent me.  In all honesty I would be ashamed to send out dried out mascara and gloopy nail polish and expect anyone to be interested in purchasing from those companies.



LANCOME HYPNOSE STAR SHOW-STOPPING VOLUME MASCARA sample size 2ml, RRP 6.5ml $52.  I guess this would have been OK if I hadn't received a dried up flaky sample with nothing in the tube worth sampling.

SUMMER TAN BY MANCINE - self action tan DARK - full-sized 250ml RRP $29.95, this is such a waste of a full sized product for me,  I don't wear tanning lotion, I know LHI have said it can be mixed with moisturiser for a glowy skin look and I hope that helps some of you find uses for this product.  I am just NOT one of those tanning type gals, I love my pale skin, I get compliments for my complexion, I don't want to start tanning it now.

THE NATURAL SOURCE - Camouflage colour nail lacquers - RED PLUM - full size 12ml  RRP $9.95.  Natural nail polish without all the nasties. Well what a gloopy horrid poopy brown mess we have here, I wouldn't recommend this nail polish to anyone.


Please excuse my terrible photo, I couldn't get even coverage with this polish to show you, it doesn't apply well and is thick and gloopy but this will give you some idea of the colour.

ELGON PROFESSIONAL PRIMARIA NOURISHING SILK MASKS 15ml sample, 150ml RRP $24.94.  I have received this twice before, I think I now have enough to treat my long hair.

LON VITALITE HAND C10 Whitening Hand Mask  1 pair RRP $4.50, I had to laugh when I saw this, I don't know if anyone else can see the humour in this.  Fake Tan and Whitening Hand Mask.  My advice would be NOT to use the two at the same time.  I would have preferred the moisturising mask, I won't be using this, my hands are white enough thank you.

Do you ever feel with these beauty boxes that the full-sized products you receive are the stock the companies couldn't sell or the old stock they're about to throw away?  Most of what I have received from beauty boxes has been in some unwearable shade, it's very disappointing and just on principal I wouldn't purchase anything from these companies that can't distribute wearable colours or fresh stock.

I really hope we get some more beauty boxes on the market soon because the ones I am subscribed too really need to lift their game and maybe a bit of competition might motivate them to raise their standards.

    1. Alysha I am sure the box appeals to some but unfortunately not to me this month :o(

      I don't think even you would have been happy with a dried out mascara and gloopy unusable nail polish.

      Thanks for taking the time to read and comment (((HUGS)))

  2. I kept my subscription thinking "tall dark and handsome" = mascara. Self tan is absolutely useless to me as well.

    1. Hya Sammi, I guess it wouldn't be so disappointing if two of my products hadn't have been dry and gloopy, lol.....

      I hope you love your box and everything arrives with gorgeous colours :o)

  4. I'm so sorry to see this. I think you should write to them and tell them they sent you a dried up mascara. You could have got a serious eye problem or something - maybe they can send a replacement? Do tell them! I love Hypnose, so I can imagine how mad you must be right now. And that nail polish is appalling. Ewwww! I hope they replace the mascara for you xx

    1. Yep I'm pretty disappointed, I did email them and they were sorry that I was unhappy with my box and it didn't meet my expectations. I have asked them in my reply to replace the mascara and nail polish, I am just waiting on an answer. I have been pretty disillusioned with LHI lately and I think I might unsubscribe. I just know that when I do they will have this really GREAT box lol..........

  6. thanks for the comments on my blog :) if the polish wasn't goopy and gross it's definitly a colour that can be used... my polish was so thin and runny - a complete contrast to what you described of yours. Will not be purchasing any more of that brand that's for sure. I'm not real enthused with the fake tanner either, but I got a lipstick that is wearable - certain time and place for me though.. and I got the moisturising hand masks. After reading the info I'd like to have a go at the whitening ones.. have you used them before?

    1. Hya, thanks for taking the time to comment, I love to hear from you :o)

      The fake tanner is wearable on pale skin but I don't like the smell at all. I gave it to a friend. I'm with you on the nail polish I won't be buying any not impressed, sounds like they haven't got their formula perfected.

      I have tried the face masks from the same lot that make the hand masks, I didn't like them, so I gave them to my Mum she loves this type of thing.

  7. That's terrible about the Mascara and that nail polish doesn't look very nice at all!

    The tanning lotion was definitely a waste for me too!

    Hopefully next month is better...or I may cancel my subscription!

    There is a new box starting in the coming months. It's called "Violet Box" http://www.violetbox.com.au/ I've put in my email address, hopefully I get the first box and hopefully they have learnt from BB and LHI!
