Lust Have It July 2013

When I rowed my canoe down to the mail box this afternoon *sarcasm* (torrential rain turned my driveway into a river), I was very surprised to find my LHI Box for July there, I wasn't expecting it till next week.

This month's theme is;

lustre VIBRANT BEAUTY

In the spirit of Australia's gorgeous weather all year around for July we celebrate

VIBRANT BEAUTY!

I had to chuckle gorgeous weather?  it is pouring with rain here, flooding, freezing cold and we're expecting snow this weekend!  

Something my Nan from the UK would never believe was that we get snow here because she thought Australia was all Desert and Kangaroos!!

We certainly live in a very diverse country!

This box is one of several variations but I do believe everyone will receive the nude by nature tinted moisturiser.

This is what I received this month;

NUDE BY NATURE Natural Tinted Mineral Moisturiser with Sunscreen RRP$19.95 30ml ~ this is a full sized product and I have been wanting to try this, I wear lots of tinted sunscreen moisturisers (usually BB cream) during the summer for athletics coaching, look forward to trying this when the weather warms up.  Can be worn as a primer for foundation or on it's own.  I reallly like NBN products and they are always really generous with their samples, shows me that they believe in what they are selling.

KNOTTIES by CONDITION CULTURE Hair Ties RRP US6.25 ~ very cute little hair ties, claims to not snag or crease your hair, as I have long hair these are good to find in the box.  I received Gold and Blue ties.  UPDATE:  Loving these Knotties, they stay in your hair,  I wore it to bed and there was no slipping, no snagging and definitely no creasing, I wonder if they make a bigger one?   The only thing I can fault is I need a larger size for my thick hair, that last turn to put my hair up in a tail is tight!

COLORSMASH by CONDITION CULTURE Hair Shadow 3g sample RRP US$15 when I first saw this I thought it was another broken eye shadow but it is actually 'hair shadow'.  I received the shade Gold Rush, the directions say; Smash it on.  Seal it with spray.  Wash it out.  Temporary hair colour.

SCHWARZKOPF Extra Care Volume Powder RRP$8.99 10g this powder can be applied to the roots of your hair to add volume, I think it works like dry shampoo.

SWISSE Hand Cream with Vitamin F & Pomegranate 30ml sample RRP$29.95 500ml  ~ I have already received this before, good for travelling can double as a skin moisturiser, has a clean tarte aroma.

TRILOGY Active Enzyme Cleansing Cream  5ml sample RRP$39.95 150ml ~ I don't really use cleansing creams I prefer to wash my face and this sample is so small I don't think a teaspoonful is nearly enough to test how good this is suppose to be.  It would not convince me to spend nearly $40 on the full size product, these companies need to learn to be a bit more generous with their sample sizes.

CALIFORNIA MANGO Mango and Jojoba Hand and Body Lotion RRP$3.49 62.5ml  I love the smell of mango and this has that sweet mango skin smell like when you sniff a mango at the supermarket.  Very strong aroma that permeated the box, this would be something you would wear on its own so it doesn't clash with your perfume.  I like it!  UPDATE:  I am addicted to the aroma of this lotion have been wearing it constantly since I received it.  Once it mellows with your skin it is gorgeous!!

BONUS!  HEALTH ESSENTIALS Macqui Berry Active 6g sample RRP$45 150g ~ 100% powdered Macqui Berry, maximum antioxidants, don't really get what this is suppose to do but it's very good for you apparently.  UPDATE:  I stirred this powder through a glass of lemonade, turned purple and tasted like berries!!  Yummy, I like it except for the little seedy bits but I can live with that.

That's it another month with LHI, can't say anything stands out for me as

VIBRANT! 

I do feel this month is a better effort than the boxes I have received in the last two months from LHI and I am pretty happy with the contents.  I have enjoyed playing with them all this weekend and that's what a good sample box is ALL about!

  More COLOUwould have been nice, like the pink nail polish and makeup this model is wearing,  now that IS vibrant!

What did you receive this month?

    I think I'll only get mine Monday! Will be interesting to see if it's the same as yours, I'd be happy to get yours, I think.

    I'd like to try that NBN tinted moisturiser, and I've been dying to try hair chalk so hair shadow sounds cool lol!

    The knotties look good too, they remind me of the twist ties that Bellabox gave us in one box! http://bellabox.com.au/hair/twistband-headbands-bauble-3-pack.html Always handy!

  10. The Knotties are good I have my hair up now :o)

    The hair dye would have been better for me if it was a different colour to my hair, this one is too much like mine, I don't think it will make much difference.

  11. I'd be pretty happy with this box - after last months.. look at all those big products and samples :) Will be very happy to try the tinted moisturiser as I already love their BB cream. The hair shadow is a bit weird, hope I get that so I know what it is :P
    once again I'm not getting the theme throughout the box... beside the bonus acai berry packaing.. there's not much vibrance!
    Hope my box comes tomorrow! :)

  15. An huge improvement from their last box. There are some really interesting products here - the hair shadow and the hair powder. I am excited about the tinted moisturiser, and like you, I've been really impressed with the amount of f/s products from Nude by Nature!

  16. Yes I think there is a great improvement too Lily, I wasn't looking forward to receiving my box from LHI this month but I have quite enjoyed it!!

    the knotties just look like FOE (fold over elastic). you could probably make your own big ones cheaply ;)

  18. I thought so myself Olivia that I could make these!

  19. I was rather happy with this month's box, it is an improvement compared to previous months... My box is fairly similar to yours, I received a hot pink colour in the hair chalk which I think is a vibrant fun colour to try out.

    I wonder what we'll get next month! :)
