Hello lovelies!
Since I've been receiving my Lust Have It packages, I have been trying to use all the products to bring you reviews of my experiences.
Aprils LHI package included EmerginC's Kombucha Cleanser and Phytocell moisturiser. I think I was supposed to get the Phytocell Detox Mask as well but instead I received two moisturisers so I wont be able to review the mask. Sucks.
EmercinC uses natural botanical ingredients that is used in top spas world wide.
The Cleanser is a clear gel type formula with a nice citrus fragrance that makes cleansing time delightful. It claims to deeply cleanse the skin to remove environmental pollutants from the skin.
It doesn't remove make up but after the initial removal of make up your skin feels very fresh and moisturised after only one use. It does not foam up so don't expect a bubble explosion. I used it with my clarisonic and was surprised to see no bubbles so I just massaged the product into my skin with the next use and worked well.
It would have been better if the samples were a little bigger so I could really get a good idea of the product but overall it is a pretty good cleanser.
Full size: 120 mL $44
The Phytocell moisturiser is made from grape stem-cells to revitalise and renew skin.
I really like this product. The white cream type formula is moisturising and sets into the skin almost immediately. It would work well for a morning moisturiser rather than night time since I prefer a heavy based moisturiser.
This product also has a citrus fragrance but is not overwhelming so your face doesn't feel like an orange at the end of the day.
Would I purchase the full size? Probably not. It's a great product but for the price I could get something just as good for way cheaper.
Full size: 50 mL $105

Mini Haul!
Hello lovelies! :)
I recently popped by my local Target as I waited around for my waxing appointment and decided to purchase a few goodies from Essence.
Essence is a German cosmetic brand that provides very affordable items that are high in quality and up to date with the latest trends.
You can get Essence from any Target in Australia. Yes once again we are a bit slow with new current stock but they try their best to bring it up to date!
I recently watched a review online about the Essence Vampire's Love Eye shadow palette (Love at first bite) and the mascara volumising lash powder

Review It!
Hello lovelies!
Gosh it feels as if I haven't put up a post in a while! Sorry for the laziness/no time :(
I'll make sure to keep up the good work to bring you informative reviews and posts!
Today's mini review is on the Biore Skin preservation - Even Smoother microderm exfoliator.
I snatched this little goodie a few weeks ago for $5 when my work colleague told me that Priceline was having a mini sale on selected products at the front of their store.
I quickly went at lunch time but was pretty disappointed at what they had to offer so I decided to purchase this exfoliator as I had run out of my Queen Helene's scrub.
At very first glance I didn't know what to expect but I am very impressed with this product!
It comes out a white cream formula that doesn't seem to have any scrub like features but I was wrong. The whole formula is made up of very finely ground exfoliators that helps to cleanse and take off the dirt from your face. To some people it may be a bit harsh as it is quite an intense scrub but I personally like a deep clean. All you do is after wetting your face, squeeze out a pea size amount onto hand and massage around face concentrating on large pore areas. Wash off product and your skin will feel smooth and polished just as it claims.
I don't use it everyday as it can be a bit too harsh since I also use my Clarisonic on a day to day basis.
If your looking for a inexpensive but awesome exfoliator then why don't you give this one a go!

Nail It! :)
Hello lovelies!
I promised in my last Nail It post that I would show I did the design for my other nails.
I was contemplating whether I should do a video or not but it was late at night so I just took pictures of each step. Its not hard at all so don't worry!
Things you need
- main colour
- glitter polish or glitter nail art pen (if you don't have a glitter pen then just use a steady hand and a thin brush or tooth pick to paint on thin line)
- base coat
- top coat
- optional: french tip guide stickers
Steps
1. Apply base coat to protect your nails
2. Apply your chosen colour to 1/3 of the tip of your nail until you get an opaque finish. (if you aren't comfortable doing free hand you can use french tip guide stickers that are available on Ebay or most chemists/stores)
3. With a steady hand, paint a thin line of glitter polish at the end of the polish which was painted. (as I said previously, if you don't have a nail art pen or thin brush glitter polish just use a toothpick or thin brush and dip into glitter polish and draw thin line)
4. Wait for everything to semi dry and then apply top coat.
I ended up putting some OPI silver shatter polish over the purple since it was my recent purchase and I wanted to test it out.
Hope you enjoyed this mini tutorial!
