Review: Glamourflage Sultry Sophie Lip/Cheek Stain

Hey Lovelies

I received this lip/cheek stain in a Lust Have It! box a few months ago, review here. I have not actually tried anything from Glamourflage before but I have heard of the brand a few times. The brand is a result of a woman with an English background living in Australia, with the company being described as "a company that infuses quality skincare and make-up with the flirty personality and class of a 1940/50s pin up girl." I dont own any lip/cheek stain so it was great that I received this product in my box. 

The name behind Sultry Sophie's Lip/Cheek Stain is discussed on the Glamourflage website and they describe her as:

Sophie has a BA in bantering, a Masters in mincing and a Phd in philandering. When anyone complains, she gives a secret smile and says 'Life's hard - get a helmet'! For tomorrow, as Scarlett O'Hara so succinctly put it, is indeed another day!

 The packaging of this is oh so cute, with a cardboard box and a pull tag which reveals a little inside compartment which houses the stain. On the box is of course the lovely Sultry Sophie. The stain itself is in a glass bottle with a silver cap. The cap contains a long brush on applicator. Personally I would of preferred a sponge as I find a brush difficult to work with but it is adequate enough to apply product if you follow with another kind of brush.

The colour itself of this stain is a pinky red, which looks lovely on both the lips and cheeks. I prefer to wear this on my cheeks as it it rather difficult to apply to the lips, you definitely need a lip brush otherwise you will stain your fingers. This is most definitely a staining product so watch out if you get it anywhere you didn't plan on putting it! As it is a stain it does have an amazing wear time but it does tend to sheer out during the day and looks less vibrant, but that give a nice natural look. 

This retails for $21.95 AU for 8.5ml and is available off the Glamourflage website or several other places as listed on their website. 

Have you tried any Glamourflage products?

Review: Lust Have It! April Beauty Box

Hey Guys

This post is a bit late so I apologise for that, partly my fault as I received this last week but have been too busy with Uni to post this, partly Lust Have It!'s fault for not sending out their boxes early so that we can actually receive them in the correct month. Despite all the drama behind the box this month I was quite impressed with what I have received, that comes down to one product that I was excited to have received, the rest is all a bit boring. On to the box though!

First thing to mention, new packaging! This month the 'boxes' have come in cute custom designed clear makeup bags that read Lustre Beauty on them. I quite like this, the zip on mine gets caught a little bit but it is cute and usable regardless. 

This months box came with 5 products which you can see listed above in the card that comes with the box.

Glamourflage Sultry Sophie Lip Cheek Stain

This was the one product I was very excited for, I voted for the inclusion of this on a facebook vote and they must of kept record of who wanted want as other people got different products depending on what they wanted. I haven't actually tried a lip/cheek stain before but I am really excited to try this out! 

Claytime 100% Pure Mineral Bronzer

There was huge controversy on Lust Have It!'s facebook page regarding this bronzer, the weight we received is 3g net weight but the card reads 10g net weight. I really couldn't care less about the mistake, Lust Have It! have issued a statement and tried to fix their mistakes, the internet can just be very cruel! This bronzer is limited edition, I found out because this version is highly pigmented which makes up for the smaller net weight despite being full size. I am not very excited about bronzer, I received an absolutely massive loose powder one a while ago in a Lust Have It! box and I typically only like using pressed powder bronzers, however I will try this out and maybe it can double as an eyeshadow?

Bioderma Atoderm Cream

This is a sample size moisturiser for dry skin. Another moisturiser that is not necessarily for my skin type. Not much else to add.

Wotnot Facial Wipes for Oily/Sensitive Skin

I got one of these Wotnot sample wipe packs from their facebook campaign, this is a new facial wipe that is specifically for oily/sensitive skin which is perfect for me. While I haven't tried the pack I was sent yet, I have tried another wipe from Wotnot before and I know that they feel lovely and luxurious on the skin so I am happy that these were included this month. 

Aveeno Daily Moisturizer Lotion

Another moisturiser for dry skin sample included in the same month, not only did we receive a moisturiser sample last month, but two in one month!!! I haven't tried Aveeno and I have been meaning to, but I am a little annoyed they didn't put something else from the range in. 

This will be the last beauty box I will receive from Lust Have It! as I have let my annual subscription run out. I have been receiving the same kind of products over and over, and I am getting more unimpressed with the wait for the boxes, it just seems to be getting longer and longer. I am too poor at the moment to look for another subscription with a different group, but I will do some research and when I am on Uni break I might splurge out with my extra money from more shifts and try another beauty box company. 

Do you have any ideas for other Australian beauty box companies?

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.
