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.
The lovely ladies at Madam Glam sent me some of their cosmetic products to try out so I've done a 'first impressions' style application video.
I received a foundation, blush, mascara, eyeshadow and two lipsticks.
Since I recorded the video a few hours ago, I can report that the foundation is wearing really well and I haven't had to do any touch-ups. I applied the makeup at 8.30 this morning and it's now 1.36pm and I have no shine, no creasing and no uneven wearing.
I should also mention that the foundation is probably a light to medium coverage that is easily build able to a medium to full coverage.
The lipstick has worn really nicely too. It's quite a nice high shine so I was expecting it to wear off quite quickly but it's stayed even and there appears to be a stain to it too so I think if you did get wear from eating or drinking, the stain would stay so your lips still look good.
The blush is still really nice and so is the eyeshadow and mascara. I quite often experience fallout from mascaras and the Madam Glam mascara is staying put. I've got lovely fluttery eyelashes with no clumping and no panda eyes in sight.
Overall I am really happy with all the products, even though the eyeshadow isn't a colour I would normally choose. I do however like how it's applied over the taupe colour I applied as a base.
A big thumbs up for all products and if you would like to purchase your own, here's a 30% discount code for the Madam Glam store. DISCOUNT CODE: YT30OFF
I've added a list of products and prices in the description bar below the video if you are interested in the shades that I received.
Wednesday Weight Update & Makeup Look Using NYX Cosmetics
Update on my weight loss this week is not so good and I am totally and utterly exhausted. So please excuse my croaky voice, frizzy hair and massive eye bags!
I have seen a huge improvement in my skin and I am putting that down to Dermalogica and Nip+Fab. I am using the Ultra Calming range from Dermalogica and this week the Nip+Fab Bee Sting Fix Eye Night Cream has been a life saver. I'm also loving the Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Pads for a gentle exfoliation.
I will be using more NYX Cosmetics products in makeup looks in the future so if this one isn't the best, my apologies.
I have very sick little dogs at home and I've been up nursing them for the last week so very little sleep unfortunately and I am now really struggling :-(
I've done two lip looks for this video. The first one I felt was a little too red and I wanted something a little darker and more berry toned so I have used a Maybelline product but I have found a NYX colour that would be perfect so that will be coming my way soon :-)
Anyway, here's the video and all products are listed in the description bar of the video, as per usual.
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 :-)
