Lust have it: May 2013

My Lust have it for May has arrived! Was really looking forward to this month's box because I couldn't resist and went to see other people's unboxing. When I saw that so many people got 2 mini Nicole by OPI polishes, I was ecstatic!! But as usual, my rotten luck with LHI meant I had a different box. Sigh... why why why?! Can't I for once get a good box from them? Anyway, let's get on with the unboxing.

Light grey flower design for May's box.

Here's what I received:
1. Camouflage Colour lipglosss in 015 Vanilla (full size) - 15ml RRP $12.95
2. Seacret buffing block (fullsize) - RRP $30
3. Paula's Choice clear exfoliating solution (30ml) - 118ml RRP $38
4. Nude by Nature papaw ointment (full size) - 75g RRP $12.95
5. Tigi elasticate & recharge shampoo & conditioner (10ml) - 250ml RRP $25 each

Total estimated value - $69.56 (prices in AUD)

Appears clear on my lips, with visible shimmer particles.

Goes on the lips like a film which isn't particularly comfortable. It's not exactly 'sticky' per se but I guess that's the best way to describe it. I'm still sitting on the fence about this one.

3 coloured surfaces: grey, white and blue 

That's alot of paw paw!

So there we have it! Although I am totally bummed about not getting the mini OPI polishes but at least it's a much better box compared to last month. Guess my luck is slooooowly improving? Bellabox definitely did it for me this month, even though the total value is lower.

(But seriously, 30 bucks for a buffing block?! minus that and LHI's box is only worth AU$39. And I have much higher expectations for LHI because they adjusted their price for including "more international and premium beauty brands". They kicked off their new box with a big bang in March but since then I honestly don't think it's up to standard considering the price increase. Sometimes I want to say that March was all just for show to get people to sign up because they are losing so many subscribers since end of last year but I won't. I do feel they try to do a good job, but they need to try much harder.)

I will still try out the products I got because I haven't used any of the brands before. What did you receive in your LHI box this month and what are your thoughts on it?
