Last Month's Beauty Boxes: Looking Back on April 2012

(Click on headings to see original reviews)


Lust Have It
I Nuovi Professional Glitterati - I really can't see myself using gold glitter makeup. I'm just not that kind of person. I don't think I'd even wear gold glitter on my nails (as the alternative uses suggests). I'll probably end up giving this away.
emerginC Phytocell Moisturiser and Kombucha Cleanser - I haven't had a chance to start using these yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
De Lorenzo Elements Ocean Mist Sea Salt Styling Spray - I've only used this once so far, but I loved the effects and I'm sure I'll use it again next time I go to a fancy doo. SAME DAY TRIAL!
True Solutions All Day Tinted Moisturising Cream SPF 30+ - I've been using this regularly, alternating with my SunSense tinted SPF moisturiser. I don't really like the formula all that much though, it's too thick. SAME DAY TRIAL!
Spa Fresh Blends Romantic Discovery Bath Salts - I haven't had a chance to use this yet. I don't take baths as often as I used to, I'm more of a shower girl now (only because the bathtub in our current rental sucks!).



I Love This Box
Avado Sensitives Certified Organic Gel Exfoliant - I haven't used this yet, but I will once my current exfoliant is used up.
Chikii Natural Salon Quality Mineral Cosmetics Blush or Bronzer - I'm not sure what to do with this little plastic baggie of powder. Maybe I'll try mixing it into some moisturiser and seeing if it works as a highlighter?
haf Mineral Makeup Australia Eyeshadow in Mocha - I've put this with my other eyeshadows, but I've never really used powder shadows before. I haven't given up on it yet though; one day when I have the time to experiment with new makeups.
Maybelline Color Sensational Lipcolour in Red Revival - I haven't used this and I don't think I will. I very rarely wear lipsticks, and this colour is too bold for me.
Just D'Lish Soy Wax Candle in Pina Colada - It's on my coffee table but I haven't lit it yet.



Bella Box
Comvita Brightening Facial Exfoliant; Facial Serum; Moisturiser - I'm looking forward to trying these out one day soon.
Ulta3 Nail Polish in Cocoa - I haven't tried this yet, but I will once my nails have stopped peeling, darrrnit!
Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Liquid Foundation - I used this a couple of times, but the colour was too dark for my skin. I did like the coverage and smooth look it gave me though, so I've put it away and will try it again in summer, when having a slightly darker skin tone is more socially acceptable!
Pure DKNY Verbena Eau de Parfum - I've worn this to work and casual occasions a few times. I like it.
OP Therapy Summer Glow Pineapple & Papaya Sea Salt Scrub - This exfoliant is on my list to use next once my current one is used up.
Hollywood Feet Velvet Cushions - (bonus product) One day I've got to get to, and actually put these in my shoes!
