I received 5 sample-sized products from a company who increased their subscription cost from $14.95 to $19.95 and promised bigger better boxes with more full-sized items.
This month I received
Rachel K Mineral Color Control CC Cream - 4 samples sachets ~ I received these in my April box, they were actullay missing from my box and I received them later. I can't even use these because they are the wrong shade. I use the Black Original for pink-toned skin, the Pink samples are for yellow-toned skin, it doesn't work on me.
Batiste Dry Shampoo Cherry - Oh God if I receive one more can of useless Dry Shampoo I think I might actually scream!!
Pure Fiji Hydrating Body Lotion - I have a ton of this moisturiser, I don't need to sample any more, I'm already sold thanks. It says on the card I was suppose to receive Ocean Mist but I received Coconut, at least Ocean Mist would have been something different!
Real Purity Lipstick sample with a cheap useless disposable brush - Un-hygienic sample pot. Don't wear Red too pale and thanks for the cheap brush helped me make up my mind NEVER to purchase CROWN Brushes.
Doctor Babor DERMA CELLULAR Collagen Booster Cream - Who in their right mind spends $249 on a moisturiser? Please take the time to read how your skin absorbs moisturiser and how deep it REALLY gets into the layers of skin, NOT as deep as they describe for this to work. These creams don't work and you are wasting a considerable amount of money if you purchase this.
This month is the pinnacle of all that is WRONG with Lust Have It and I would recommend anyone who is looking for a worthwhile beauty box to try elsewhere, this is just a waste of your money.
In fact I'm thinking of asking for a refund.
I have noticed that LHI are also giving some bloggers a discount code to use on their blog to entice new customers with a $5 off your first box. Maybe LHI should just lower the prices of their boxes to the original $14.95 per month because they are certainly NOT worth the $19.95 they are charging now. In fact the boxes have got worse not better since the price increase.
Now for something more worthwhile, don't forget to enter my giveaway for some fantastic ICON India hair care products, all you need to do is follow me and leave a comment, open to Australian Residents only. Enter here.
omg. This is ridiculous, it's awful that they promised better/more full size products after the price increase. Although, Im still waiting for my BB, the box looks a lot better than LHI... I hope we'll both get better products!
ReplyDeleteYou seemed to get a disappointing box this month. I'm a bit happier with mine, I love lotions and trying things I wouldn't normally buy. My May box had to be resent, I think there was an admin error so my May box wasn't all that interesting.
ReplyDeleteEugh, I hate my box as well. Rachel K samples, Batiste dry shampoo, tacky lip lipstick sample. I also received those OPI nail wraps but the design was simply of cocktail drinks... Oh and more moisturisers
ReplyDeleteI don't think any imagination went into this months box at all. Makes me quite mad, they have a responsibility when they take our money that we get good value. Instead of getting bigger and better LHI are getting worse.

Those Batiste cans have certainly been going around for a while now; I've seen them in multiple box posts on every blog.
ReplyDeleteLily I truly believe they don't care about their customers at all. I certainly don't feel the love from this company.

Dry shampoo overload, I can't use them and I don't know anyone who does, they smell awful, I just threw the last lot out, this one will be heading that way too.

I gave my Mum an annual subcription to LHI and she is so unimpressed with this box and last months she gave it back to me!! She doesn't want to receive anymore :o(

Don't worry about it Jac, I think my browser was too old.. just switched to Google Chrome so it's working for me now :) Have you seen anyone else with the same box as us yet? All the others seemed to get nail stickers and liner pencils.....
ReplyDeleteoh, and thanks for giving my name to ICON.. got my sample today and look forward to testing it tomorrow, I'll give them a week before reviewing and doing my giveaway too. thanks again :)
I have only seen your and I with that variation so far. :o(
ReplyDeleteIt really felt like the leftover box again.
Your welcome with the ICON referral, look forward to hearing what you think of the hair care.

I am still yet to receive mine anyway, but it doesn't look as though there was a lot of imagination put into this box. I agree that you should have received better items, since they did increase their price for a reason, apparantly. This is fairly disappointing.
ReplyDeleteHi , I am new with blogging and followed you now! It would be nice if you give some advice and follow back =)

I haven't received my box yet but I'm not really expecting much given all the reviews that I've seen so far. Really, Lust Have It has always been a bit 'meh' in my eyes (although they have occasionally done relatively well) but this month is just... disgusting... Those CC cream sachets look to be left overs from the earlier boxes and the lipstick pot and brush combo looks really tacky!! >.< As for the body lotion, I got the Seacret Ocean Mist one last month and I still haven't gotten around to using it yet, but at least that was nice and decent sized... the Pure Fiji one looks pretty tiny =/
ReplyDeleteI personally love using dry shampoo when I'm in a rush and can't do much with my hair so I'm interested in trying the Batiste in Cherry :) but still... that is a $3.95 product and really not worth the money that we pay for these boxes. And given the price hike, I'm pretty sure I'll be unsubscribing after this month =.=
Lily, this month's BB was great~ ^^ lots of decent-sized samples and full size products~ :D they also threw in a bonus Natio nail polish as well since they're running a competition for best mani using that particular shade on their facebook/ instagram~ :D Violet Box was pretty good too, although the price was a bit steep in my opinion. Nothing overly amazing about their products given the amount that we're paying... still better than LHI (pre and post price hike) tho... =.= I haven't received my LHI yet but given the reviews I've seen, BB definitely has my vote for best box of the month~!!! ^^
ReplyDeleteI agree with all you say Tali, cheap dry shampoo from what is suppose to be a Luxe beauty box who put up their prices and promised sooooo much more doesn't cut it for me and I won't be renewing my subscription either.

I agree Jasmine it is very disappointing.

I'm still to receive my BB box it's very late for me :o(
