Weekly Loves #08

It has been a fair while since I have done one of these posts but I have actually been loving some different products this week so I wanted to share them with you! 

ChapStick Night Repair Lip Treatment

This lip treatment comes in a duo kit with a day treatment as well and while I like the day lip balm I absolutely love the night one. It is quite thick and a fairly plain formula (no scent) but it leaves my lips so smooth the next morning. Definitely recommend using a treatment like this during winter if you suffer from dry lips like myself.

Alpha H Liquid Gold

I am trying to use this treatment every three nights in order to get continued benefits, I typically use it once a week and my skin is amazing the next morning but using this only once a week doesn't benefit my skin long term. Since starting to use this every three nights I have been noticing my skin is generally clearer and scars are starting to slowly lighten. 

BYS Blusher in Pretty In Pink

If you don't own a BYS blush then you are missing out, they have some lovely colours with great pigmentation for very little cost. Coral is typically my go to however for some reason I have been drawn to this lovey pink colour. It makes my cheeks look flushed and bright without effort. 

Rimmel Waterproof Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in 005 Nude

I purchased this eyeliner specifically to use on my waterline as I had read reviews that it brightens up the eye area, and it really does. This pencil is very creamy which makes it easy to line the waterline and it instantly gives you a fresh eyed look regardless of how much sleep you have gotten.

I have been re watching all the episodes of the tv show Bones, I am up to season 9 and have rushed though all of the episodes, completely addicted and in love. Cannot wait until it comes back for season 10.

Some Lip Love

Hey my very patient lovelies

It has been so long and I am extremely apologetic about that, I have been putting my time towards studying for my super important exams, I really need to pass my units in order to finish on time! But I finished my last exam today and have a month off before next semester begins. I will be up to some shopping on my break so look out for some haul posts.

Anyways today I wanted to share with you a few of my latest lip products from a brand that has been upping their game.. I present to you ChapStick! I had forgotten about ChapSticks in favour of my Lanolips (which still has a place in my heart) but recently they have been all over Instagram and I just had to jump on the bandwagon. Priceline had a buy 2 and receive 30% off offer so I took advantage and picked up two items I had been lusting for, ChapStick Day & Night and ChapStick Mixstix. 

ChapStick Day & Night is designed to give you 24 hour moisture through the use of two different tubes. One is the day formula which contains aloe vera and vitamin E with SPF 15. The night one is a repair lip treatment. I really like the idea of two different formulas for different times of the day. There is no need for SPF at night and you can really use a thicker moisturiser formula at night. This retails for $7.99 AU at Priceline.

ChapSticks Mixstix is a limited edition twin lip balm mix which contains two sticks with two ends on each so ultimately you get four different flavones. One stick contains Strawberry Banana Smoothie which is one side strawberry and one side banana, the other stick is Lemon Berry Sorbet with one side lemon the other side berry. The idea is that you can mix the sides to get different flavours. The packaging feels a bit cheap and flimsy but I really like this idea and suggest you get your hands on this ASAP before it's too late! I can't find the price of these online but I believe it was around $7-8. 

The other thing I am dying to get my hands on from ChapStick is their soon to be released Cake Batter ChapStick. It is in their All Things Sweet collectible tins which I will be picking up as soon as they reply to my message about where they are stocked near me!

Have you been loving ChapStick as much as I have?

Review: Lust Have It! March Beauty Box

Hey Guys

My March Lust Have It! box has only just arrived and I quite liked this month so I wanted to share my thoughts with you. In case you weren't aware Lust Have It! is a company that provides numerous boxes for men and women (women mainly though), I have an annual subscription (that is ending soon) for the beauty box, which retails for $19.95 AU a month. Onto the products contained in this months box, which was more just some plastic bubble wrap as they are redoing the boxes for April I believe. 

KLARA KISS PROOF LIPS

RRP $29, 8ml

This is a deluxe size sample which is very cute! I received shade 04 which is a lovely bright almost neon pink. I do really look forward to using this, it will be good for a bright lip on a night out, perfect with a smokey eye! The small sample size is adorable and great for purses as well. I just hope the formula is good.

BLOOM SECRET WEAPON CONCEALER KIT

RRP $20, 5.5gr

This is a full sized product that I am super happy they included, it was going to either be this or an eyeliner of which I already have heaps. This contains 6 different concealers in one palette, there is a fair, light, medium, green, yellow and illuminiser shade. This palette is great for fair-medium skins but not so much if you are out of that shade range. I think I will get a lot of use out of this.

ORLY NAIL LACQUER SELECTION 

RRP $18.95, 18ml 

This is only 5.3ml of product so I would class this as a mini or deluxe sample, so recieved this in a purple shimmery shade called Grape Glitz which is a perfect name. I haven't tried Orly before so I am looking forward to trying this.

AVEDA INTENSIVE HYDRATING MASQUE

RRP $79.95, 150ml

This mask isn't really designed for my skin type, hydrating products are always a worry for my oily skin. However I can get dry patches every so often so I will save this for one of those times. Aveda is a really good brand so I have fairly high expectations for this, especially considering the price for the full size.

CHAPSTICK STRAWBERRY LIPBALM SPF15

RRP $4.69, 4.2gr

I am always happy to receive another lipbalm, especially one that smells like strawberries. 

RECOVERLYTE TROPICAL POWDER

RRP $11.95, 10 sachets

This pretty much just seems like berrocca, something you use in the morning that is full of vitamins and all the good things after a rough night. I don't go out for a big night very often but I will keep this for when I decide to! 

That is everything from my beauty box this month, lots of cosmetics which has been missing from previous boxes lately. Also included which was not pictured or mentioned was a $20 off voucher for Runway Dream, designer fashion hire, something I will never use but may be good for some.
