I've got a new video up on my YouTube channel today. It's the June Unboxing of the Lust Have It bag.
This month we got three deluxe samples, one full size product and one mystery product picked out by the Lust Have It team.
The box (bag) costs $19.95 monthly or $250 a year. The boxes contain five+ deluxe samples every month and they come in a handy hot pink mesh cosmetics bag.
I usually have a $5 discount code but from now on the lovely ladies at Lust Have It have upped the discount to $10 off your first box.
To redeem the $10 off your first box, simply enter DIXIEGIRL1 at checkout.
All products in this month's box are listed in the description bar below the video.
I've got a new and super exciting unboxing up on my YouTube channel. The Maslow & Co USA West Coast Beauty Box has SOLD OUT already! Even though it has sold out, you can buy the individual full size products on the Maslow & Co website.
This box has a range of skincare, haircare and beauty products and after a fantastic New Zealand box, it doesn't disappoint. As I mentioned in my last blog post, this subscription box blows any other box I receive out of the water. The quality of the box is superb and the range of products is well thought out and appeals to a wide age range (even though I secretly think that Maslow & Co made these boxes just for me).
The Maslow & Co boxes are bi-monthly and there are several options you can choose when it comes to ordering:
An annual subscription with an up-front payment of $240. This will give you 6 boxes with a value of over $700.
Bi-monthly, billed bi-monthly at a cost of $44 per box with no lock-in contract.
Why not treat someone you love to these amazing boxes? You can purchase a one-off box for $54, a six month subscription (giving you 3 boxes) for $132, or the one year subscription for $240.
Anyone who signs up for a Bi-Monthly membership will receive a luxury travel set featuring the ila spa Shampoo For Revitalising Hair and Conditioner For Nourishing Hair. Harnessing the true powers of natural ingredients, ila spa creates products to nourish beyond the physical. Value: $16. *This product was featured in our UK Edit. Great for all hair types! At checkout, use the code DIXIE to redeem. Expires 31 July! The next box is the East Coast USA box and it's on sale now and due out in August which will be super exciting for me as its my Birthday month! I can't recommend this box highly enough. I've been so impressed with everything from the super speedy deliver, careful packaging and fantastic well thought out rang of products. I've listed everything that comes in the box in the description box below the video. I hope you like it as much as I do. If you do want the East Coast USA box, subscribe quickly because these babies run out the door super fast! Enjoy, Dixie Girlxox
I've got my May Lust Have It unboxing up on my YouTube channel. Another great box with loads of fab products and one major fail!
We got another gorgeous eyeshadow, this time from Teeez Cosmetics. Not only is the colour I received a gorgeous rich gold, the packaging is super cute.
This bag really caters for Winter, with a mystery item AND a bonus pair of leggings from Razzamattaz. Not necessarily what I would expect to see in a beauty subscription box, but great nonetheless. With the weather suddenly ridiculously cold, I can wear these while I'm filming. So where I wouldn't necessarily go out and buy the leggings, I am certainly grateful and I'll check them out in the supermarket next time I go.
One huge fail for me is the Starlooks eyeliner. Not only did it take over five minutes to remove the plastic wrap (some of which was actually fused to the product), but when I tried it, it was NOT black (or even brown for that matter - the card and packaging don't mention a colour) but it barely worked with a washed out sludgy brown coming out.
Honestly, even if it had worked, I was so pissed off by the time I'd managed to get 70% of the wrapping off, I would have disliked it overall anyway.
Other than that, a great bag with a range of goodies.
Don't forget I've got a $5 discount off your first box. Just enter DIXIEGIRL1 at checkout for the discount to be applied.

I recently had the pleasure of trying out a new luxury beauty subscription box service, Maslow & Co.
Maslow & Co are an Australian company who source products from all over the world to feature in their boxes. Each box has a theme, the current being New Zealand.
I can say without any hesitation, this is- in my opinion - by far the best beauty box on the market in Australia. I was blown away with the quality (and quantity) of the products that the box contains.
All but one of the products are full size and they are all beautiful, high quality products. This box contains no makeup at all, which I find very refreshing. Instead it's choc-full of gorgeous New Zealand skincare products that are PERFECT for me.
I am 44 and I literally feel that Maslow & Co made this box just for me. Everything is perfect for my skin-type, skin issues and also perfectly suited to my age group. This is not to say that someone younger couldn't benefit from this box. Far from it. Everything in the box would suit most ages.
The boxes themselves are a sleek black with a pop of colour on the label. The box arrived by courier and was well packaged when it arrived.
The Maslow & Co boxes are bi-monthly and there are several options you can choose when it comes to ordering:
1. An annual subscription with an up-front payment of $240. This will give you 6 boxes with a value of over $700. Also if you use the code DIXIEGIRL at checkout, you will receive the New Zealand box FREE!
2. Bi-monthly, billed bi-monthly at a cost of $44 per box with no lock-in contract.
3. Gifts. Why not treat someone you love to these amazing boxes? You can purchase a one-off box for $54, a six month subscription (giving you 3 boxes) for $132, or the one year subscription for $240.
I think these would make the perfect gift and I would be over the moon to receive this as a present.
The next box is due out in June and is going to be featuring products from the West Coast of the USA. Super excited for this box so stay tuned for a review coming very soon. Subscription cut off for this box is 31st May.
I've listed all the products that were in my box, along with a link to Maslow & Co, should you want to purchase a subscription yourself, in the description bar below the video.
I've got my April Lust Have It unboxing up on my YouTube channel - a lot late - but better late than never right!
This is a great bag. I really love the products they've sent this month, with my special favourite being the Manna Kadar 3-in-1 blush, highlight and eyeshadow. I've been wearing it pretty much constantly since the bag arrived and it's just gorgeous. It's a beautiful shimmery champagne colour that glides on silky smooth and lasts all day.
I won't ruin the unboxing for you. If you're interested in seeing what else I got in the bag, you will have to watch the video.
I have a $5 off code for your first box if you are interested in subscribing.
All products are listed in the description bar below the video.
The February Lust Have It bag has arrived and it's packed full of goodies.
This, in my opinion, is one of the best boxes we've had in ages. Chock full of full sized and sample products from makeup to skincare, Lust Have It have done a great job for February.
Check out my unboxing video below and don't forget to use my discount code for $5 off your first box!
I've got a new video up on my YouTube channel of my latest subscription bag from Lust Have It. It's the September box and it's packed full of goodies.

The Winter Edit is here!! Marie Claire's The Parcel is a quarterly beauty subscription box that costs $29.95 per month (discount when ordering more than one box) and it's choc-a-block full of exciting beauty products for you to try.
The Winter Edit is probably my favourite box so far and the next box is the 20th Anniversary Edit so I would expect some super exciting goodies in that box.
If you are interested in subscribing, get in quick as there are only limited numbers available.
I've just unboxed my Lust Have It box for July and I am so impressed.
Just what I expect a good subscription box to be, this contains products that are new to me, full size products and a range of makeup, skincare and haircare.
A big thumbs up from me for this month!
I also have a $5 discount code off your first month's box. Just enter DIXIE GIRL1 at checkout to get your discount.
I've got a big unboxing video for you from Lust Have It. I've had a few issues with my mail man and the boxes went temporarily missing but they're here now - better late than never.
If you want to see what goodies I have then check out the video. I also have a $5 off your first month code:
If you're not familiar with Lust Have It, it's an Australian company that do monthly subscription boxes that are delivered to your door! Great idea and full of great things ever month.
So this turned up FINALLY on 31 March and I've done my unboxing. I must say, I was a little shocked at one product included in the box and overall a little disappointed with the box.
BUT it's my the first month of my subscription so I will stick with it.
All the product information is listed in the description box under the video.
Lust Have it for February has finally turned up. Yay!
Here's my unboxing and I've also listed in the description bar what products I am wearing on my face. I've been trying out Scout Cosmetics Mineral Creme and Mineral Powder Foundations and also their Mineral Concealer and I can say without a shadow of a doubt, they are really really lovely. Lightweight, no itching or irritation and coverage that is definitely buildable. Very impressed so far.
Anyway, the unboxing is below and all product info is in the description bar below the video.
Just a quick unboxing video for you to show what we got in the Autumn Edit of Marie Claire's The Parcel.
I have to say, after the Spring and Summer boxes I wasn't holding out much hope for the Autumn box but I was actually pleasantly surprised. Eight products, and only two were sample size. Well worth the money so I will continue with the Winter box and let you know what I think in a few months!
All information on products and subscribing to The Parcel are in the description box below the video.
Just a quick unboxing video for Lust Have It. Lots of great products in the January box and all the product information is in the description bar of the video.
For those of you who are not aware, Lust Have It are a subscription box service and they offer a variety of different boxes.
I subscribe currently to the monthly beauty box which is $19.95 per month. You get five to six deluxe size beauty products, and quite often full size products, to sample at your leisure.
I really enjoy the beauty boxes. It's a nice little surprise that turns up on your doorstep once a month and it makes me happy!
I've been a subscriber to the beauty box for eight months now and I am overall quite happy with the products that I receive every month. I rarely receive products that I have had before, although this does happen on occasion. Always good to stock up though.
If you are interested in subscribing to Lust Have It, they do the monthly Beauty Box (shown in the video above), the Fashion and Beauty Box where you get 5+ of the hottest fashion and beauty items to hit the market and there is also the Eco Box which comes out quarterly and you receive6 - 7 premium natural and organic beauty products. I will be reviewing an Eco box very shortly.
Ohhhh and I couldn't help myself!! I've just ordered a one off of the Fashion and Beauty Box so I can show you guys what's inside when it arrives.
I hope you like my video and blog post. Please like, follow, subscribe and all of that good stuff.
Stay tuned for my next post. Have a great weekend :-)
