Lust Have It

Okay, so you've probably heard about companies joining up with cosmetics companies to bring you samples to your door each month. Well hold on to your hats, because it's finally happening in Australia, Lust Have It is the very first one to be launching and you can sign up here. It begins in July so you can sign up for your first box and it will arrive in August. It will be your very own box of exclusive beauty, skin and hair care products sent right to your door.

We are so excited about this, Lust Have It boxes will have brands such as, Burts Bees, Dermalogica, Kerastase, Lancome, Mirenesse, Naked Tan, Pure Fiji, L'Oreal and Urban Rituelle all fantastic brands and we're especially excited for Burts Bees and Demalogica - YAY. So you're probably thinking this sounds great but why would you pay money for sachet samples that you can go and get from your beautician, well you're not. The samples will be of a decent size just like a mini version, or travel version of the product and maybe even some of full size. For brands that only offer their samples in sachets you will get several instead to make up for it. The boxes are only $14.95 a month including postage and you can pay for it monthly or subscribe for one year.

Another really cool part about Lust boxes, is that when you purchase a box you earn points which you can choose to spend on full size products of the samples that you loved in the online store. Honestly this is such a great concept and anyone is available to sign up to Lust Have It so I suggest you all do, or at least check it out because they are doing a $500 ultimate beauty prize pack to one of the lucky people that signs up to the mailing list. The lovely founder of this brilliant idea, Nicci has assured us that they have allocated a decent amount of boxes that will be available to buy, but if you miss out there won't be any more chances to get that box so I'd be sure to get in quick and sign up here.

Who else is super excited about this, I know we are both really looking forward to getting our first boxes and are looking forward to the surprise of seeing what's inside. However here is little spoiler for all of you dying to know what's inside, we have been told there will be a Dermalogica sample in the first months box and coming in one of the months after there will be a full size polish valued at $19.95 so you're already getting products worth more than the price you're paying, perfect!

So for all of you lovely people who are reading this, I'd love for you to check out the Lust Have It website and sign up, this is seriously an opportunity you don't want to miss. They also have a Facebook  which you should check out. Let's help spread the word about Lust Have It boxes!

Who is looking forward to this idea? Has anyone signed up for the mailing list yet?
Let us know! Also if you have any more questions feel free to ask.
P.S We also decided to create a FB for our blog as it's easier than giving out our personals so we'd love if you could give it a like, you can find us here

Not so gorgeous

I'm having a horrible horrible day, I was rushing around this morning to get ready and needed to quickly do my makeup before work but had barely any time so I grabbed the Benefit - Some Kind-a Gorgeous cream to powder foundation which by the way has the strangest smell about it and put it on. I got this product for christmas after my lovely Mum got me a benefit pack from Henri Bendel in New York with the foundation, it also came with 'Bad Gal Lash' and 'Sugar Bomb Blush' both products which I use regularly without any problems.

So back to the story I was at work after just having applied this makeup and my face had been stinging then I realise I have a big red rash all over my face from the foundation it was horrible and the smell is awful. I hate writing bad things about a product and it could simply be my skin reacting to it for no particular reason but I will never use it again. Thinking about it a little later I thought maybe that smell means it's off and that's why I got the rash but I read numerous articles and they all said it had a weird crayon smell so it wasn't that. I have used this product before and it has stung a little but I thought it was just due to dry skin but this time it was out of control. It's such a shame because it really does seem like a great product and was voted in the top five of Elle Magazines 'Worlds best foundations' in 2008. Benefit also always has the most gorgeous packaging and everything else I have of theirs is amazing and always packaged so pretty.


I just want to know has anyone else had similar problems with any other makeup products? Or does anyone know what I could put on to soothe/help my skin from the rash?  Let me know!

Pleated

Here we go, another outfit post I really don't do enough of these. Anyway this skirt is actually a midi skirt (I have it in black as well) but I wasn't feeling it when I went to go and take the photos so I basically just pulled it up really high and put a plain black t-shirt on and belted it - this is like my favourite belt except the studs are all falling off the front but I don't care I'll wear it anyway.  I am in love with turquoise jewellery and you can always find it set in great rings and necklaces etc, I am wearing a giant moon stone looking turquoise ring which I got from Sportsgirl and the Necklace is Megan's. On to the shoes, these are brand new first time they've been worn. I got them on sale for $30 at City Beach I rarely shop there so I was excited they had something I really liked they're so comfortable, I love them. Now time for some pictures.

Don't even ask what I'm doing with my feet in the third photo because I have no idea!

Black Felt Hat, Temt - $20

Bonds Black T- Shirt, Big W

Black Studded Belt - $20

Pink Pleated Skirt, Ally - $20

Black Mooloola Heels, City Beach - $30

Cross Necklace, Megans

Turquoise Ring, Sportsgirl - $4.95

In other news I am thinking of dying my hair just fully brown again but can't decide if I can let go of the ombre, would love your opinion should it stay or go?

Also has anyone else got any bargains lately, I haven't really bought anything full price lately. Let me know!

Sue Sensi

 So I was on twitter the other day and was going through people that follow me and I saw that 

 Sue Sensi followed me and I thought 'That's an interesting name' so I went on their website and discovered that they sold some really cool jewellery which I love the look of and couldn't resist posting for all of you to see. 

This is what it says on their profile which I thought was pretty cute as well. 

Love, protection, history, faith and peace…a few words that inspire Sue Sensi and he exquisitely unique jewellery collection. Since officially launching in 2003, Sue’s label has caught the attention of both high end boutiques and celebrities wanting pieces from her signature range. 

Each design features a small eye charm…paying homage to a Ancient Greek tradition that has lasted for thousands of years, it is believed that if the eye charm falls off  it has protected the wearer from negative energy.
Using the highest quality sterling silver .925 and semi-precious beads, her distinctive interplay of fashion and symbolism has carved her unique niche… A treasure chest of coins, crosses, peace signs and other paraphernalia are complimented with a burst of colour

Jewellery filled with positive energy to those who wear it.

These are some of my favourite pieces I picked off the site, I really love the cross ring and the bangle and I love the delicateness of the wristlets. I would love to get my hands on some of these, I am sick of buying cheap jewellery that makes my fingers green and I can never find anything this cool that isn't tacky and cheap. I'm honestly loving lots of the stuff on the website and I love that heaps of places stock it. Next time I'm in Brisbane I'll have to take a visit to some of the stores that sell it and maybe purchase something.

So for all you lovelies who want to take a look at the jewellery - which I suggest you do
You can visit by clicking Here! Tell me what you're favourite pieces are and which ones you would love to own.

P.S  If anyone loves me my favourite is the cross bangle just incase!
(I wonder if my boyfriend will read this) ;)
