GLOSSYBOX - APRIL 2012 (Australia)

As you may know...this is the last Australian Glossybox I get.

They have joined to Lust have it and said Good-bye...

Hope new 'Lust have it' will deliver better boxes from next month, May!

Will find out soon :)

I received my April 2012 Glossybox today.

I must be lucky to get the box at the end of this month

as some people might receive a lot later...

Hopefully everyone gets it as soon as possible.

Here is what I received in April pack

bit messy... they must have been in a rush to pack it 

Ta-da!

Uandi Natural Facial Moisturiser SPF 15 - 10ml

Davroe 'Thermaprotect' protection Spray - 50ml

REDWIN Organics Orange & Bergamot Moisturiser - 100g

Jurlique Intense Recovery Mask - 15ml

no product information on the packet (no.8?)

I'm pleased to receive the contents in April box.

I love Davroe & Jurlique products, so I'm quite happy when I saw them!

Also, I wouldn't mind to try Unadi moisturiser.

(I have tried Uandi walnut scrub before and quite liked it...)

REDWIN Organics is very new to me.

This moisturiser can be used all over the skin.

Has Organic certified orange oil, bergamot oil, olive oil & jojoba oil.

Smells nice and very light cream that they even recommend you to reapply for best result.

The last product is the capsuled one that I have no idea what they are..

From the list I got, I assume no.8? INDOLA innova repair capsules...

I thought the capsules were for skincare :P but actually the item is for hair.

I have googled the infomation below,

the product info(online) says 

'Repair Capsules ideal for weak and damaged hair. 

Apricot kernel oil in the capsules not only deeply conditions your hair and helps reduce breakage, 

but it’ll help improve elasticity and shine too'

Use: 1capsule per application. Apply to shampooed towel-dried hair. weekly

I might try it sometime soon as it sounds interesting.
(and I have noticed there is a info card separately in the box... :P
I thought it was one of the coupon cards like Iconic)

Over all, I have got 2 hair products, 2 moisturiser & 1 facial mask in the box.

I don't like to get similar products in the same box but

I'm interested in each item this month, so its all OK.

What did you get in April AUS Glossybox?

It is such a shame that no more Glossybox 

as the company developed very successful oversea like UK & Japan.

Anyway, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, GLOSSYBOX!

*Review* True Solutions, INuovi emerginC from Lust have it April Box

Just a quick review of 3 items from Lust have it April box 2012

1, True Solutions All Day Tinted Moisturising Cream SFP30+

20ml (RRP $60 for 100ml)

The package says ' A light, creamy, tinted moisturiser with broad spectrum UVA, UVB SPF 30+ protection and intensive hydrating properties.

Recommended for use on the face and neck and can also be used as a makeup base.'

(for most skin types)

It is like a BB cream kinda shade and texture.

Also, smell like sunscreen...

Could be too greasy for my combination skin but my skin need a lot of moisturiser in Winter,

so I might try this product properly in few month time.

As this came in one shade, it worked 0n my Medium Skin tone but

for lighter colour skin, this could be too dark.

it is absorbed into the skin easily

2, emerginC (Moisturiser)

3ml sample size (RRP $105 for 50ml)

Came in simple but attractive Xela Pack(environmentally conscious packaging).

No greasy, light-textured cream and it completely absorbs in

without feeling like its restrictive.

According to Lust have it, this brand is used by dermatologists and top spa's worldwide.

The products are free from nasty chemicals which I care the most.

After putting it on my face, I feel instant moisturising on the skin.

No strong fragrance.
* all customer are supposed to get one each of emerginC cleanser, mask & Moisturiser
but I've got 1 cleanser & 2 Moisturiser for some reasons.
I have contacted to LHI customer service about this and waiting for a reply now.

3, INuovi Glitteratti - Shade(Blonde Fever)

2.5g(full size) RRP $19.95

I haven't owned any glitters before this.

Like this gold/blonde colour but I'm not exactly sure how to apply :S

I personally would like 'glitter gel' instead of 'glitter powder'.

Having said that, I will definitely give it a go this instant beauty :)

What do you think about April LHI box??

If you have not tried beauty boxes and thinking to get one,

LHI is highly recommended!!

GLOSSYBOX and Lust have it! have joined and become ONE

Lust have it! and GLOSSYBOX Australia communities have come together 

under the Lust have it! brand

I'm so thrilled!

I'm happy for both companies!!

I'm a little bit disappointed with April will be the last Glossy 'Hard Box'.

I have been collecting the boxes...but never mind.. :P

I'm sure Lust Have it will continue deliver both fantastic boxes and customer service!

Initially, I had 2 main concern,

1) what if I have subscribed to both Glossybox and Lust have it?

2) what's gonna happen to my glossy dots?

I could find answer on LHI website (very well organized),

1) For those GLOSSYBOX members who already have a subscription with Lust have it!, you will receive the two different boxes in April, one from Lust have it! and one from GLOSSYBOX. After that, you do not have to unsubscribe as each unique GLOSSYBOX account will automatically be transferred over to Lust have it!. If you already have a Lust have it! account, they will be merged and only one will remain.

2) Within a month GLOSSYBOX members’ beauty profiles and GLOSSYdots balances will also be available on LUSTHAVEIT.com.au. The value of your ‘GLOSSYdots’ will be honoured under the largely equivalent Lust have it! loyalty scheme and you will be able to give feedback on or before the middle of May.  We will email you more information as soon as you can once again use the value of your GLOSSYdots with Lust have it!

*Review* Burts Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream and Coconut Foot Creme

These Products are the something I can't live without, especially Autumn/ Winter!

It is kinda embarrassing to say... but I had never heard of Burt's Bees

until I got some of their products as a Christmas present last year.

Since then, I've fallen in love with the Burt's Bees products!

Today, I will post about 2 products I love :)

1, Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

This Cuticle Cream is my favourite!

I recommend this to everyone and often give it to my friends as a small 'thank you' present.

Love the packaging and best thing is this product is 100% natural!!

Natural Products Association Certified

No animal testing

This cream contains almond oil, beeswax, lemon peel oil, cocoa butter and so on.

It has a sweet lemon scent that is perfect for putting on your hands and have to smell all day.

I leave one on my desk and one at home.

Just put the cream whenever I feel my nails(&around nails) are dry,

it gives instant nourishment!

Really moisturises and it is absorbed into the skin easily.

Since using this product my nails actually look and feel stronger and well cared for.

No dry skin around nails, any more!

The size of the container is 17g(0.6 oz), seems small but it goes a long long way.

I cannot recommend this product enough...I'm so hooked :)

2, Coconut Foot Creme

I've got this foot creme in a Burt's Bee's kit, so only 16g(0.56oz) sized one.

I gave it a go last weekend and after trying it out, I'm quite pleased.

My feet used to be dry and rough but this creme definitely gives my feet TLC :)

Now I have the softest feet ever. Yay!

Very rich cream has a hint of peppermint for soothing.

This cream contains olive oil, coconut oil, vitamin E, etc...

As a rich creme, it could be greasy.

Use this on your feet overnight with socks and next morning you'll have softest feet ever!

I will definitely will buy a full sized item after I finish this little one.

What is the one thing/item you can't live without in Autumn/ Winter season?

*Review* butter LONDON Nail Polishes

In case you don't know about butter London...

butter London is 3 free company.
No Formaldehyde
No Toluene
No DBP

I have tried a variety of nail polish brands
including the drugstore ones and the more high-end brands.

Butter London is the absolute one of the best of nail lacquers I have ever tried.

Beautiful colour, fast drying and definitely longest lasting nail polish ever!
I love butter London!! Only negative is...can't find it my local...
Having said that, their polishes are absolutely worth the money!, in my opinion :)

I have 2 colour,
Pink Ribbon - A classic French pink lacquer.
Yummy Mummy - Medium beige colour.

Both really nice but my fav is Yummy Mummy!
It just suits on my skin colour.

Pink Ribbon

Yummy Mummy

What is your favourite nail lacquer??

BellaBox Australia now in partnership with Benefit!

I've been thinking about subscribe another beauty box...

'Bella Box' or 'Beauty Basket'.

I used to subscribe to 3 boxes, Lust Have it, Glossybox & I love this box.

I've dropped ILTB as I am not so interested in their partnership brands. 

LHI is the winner for me, so I've actually got annual subscription with them.

Glossybox...what can I say... will see next few boxes if they can improve contents!

(Glossy's customer service has been definitely better than before, though)

Anyway, I've just found that Benefit is now joining BellaBox Australia partnership!

AWESOME!!

Benefit is one of my fav beauty brands. 

Love their unique designed packages and names :) ,

*Review* L'Occitane LAVANDE Hand Cream and Free Shipping Offer!

I've received my Lavender Hand Cream Samples from L'Occitane Australia.

It was a Facebook sample offer last month and they generously sent me 3 x  8ml samples.

The hand cream smells so natural, beautiful lavender scent.

When you massage the cream on to your hands, you will be amazed how pleasantly scented it is.

The package says 'light-textured cream' but I feel

it is still thick because of Shea butter.

Having said that, it completely absorbs in without feeling like its restrictive.

The lavender cream will hydrate my hands perfectly for this coming Autumn / Winter dry season.

photo colour may not be shown correctly...as I took it night time...

I must be totally in love with L'occitane lavender range...

Purifying Hand Gel & this cream combo would be one of the great present ideas!

(Hand Gel Review is here)

If you are still not sure...I suggest you to go to one of their shops to try.

Ladies at shops are faaaaantastic  every time I visit!

I have shopped many L'occitane shops before 

like my locals(Robina / Pacific Fair), Brisbane, Melbourne & even oversea.

All the stores have high standard customer services and I always feel I was treated like a VIP :)

Anyway, I totally recommend this hand cream!

since I've just bought Limited Edition Desert Rose Hand Cream, 

I might have to wait to purchase it till it finises... :/
