Lust Have It - October Box

Hey all,

I have most definitely been going on a bit of a beauty box subscription spree in the last couple of months, and so far am absolutely loving the concept! I subscribed to Lust Have It after a fellow blogger commented on my beauty box post. I was pretty excited about it after checking out their website! But now, I am not so certain how I feel.

We all know how important first impressions are, don't we? Well firstly, my October beauty box didn't arrive in October at all , but on November 1! Now I am sure lust have it! didn't intend for that to happen, and it was probably of Australia Post's doing...but nonetheless, it did irk me. 

How about the products? Well, they are nice products. I just feel that they aren't tailored to me in the slightest, and they weren't really what I was looking for. There were quite a few anti-ageing samples, and at under 25 they just don't excite me as much. I was really hoping for more make up related products, and less general skin care. 

Enough rambling! 

What Was in the Box?

- Lancome Genifique Youth Activator 

- LimeLily Cosmetics Cream Blush in 

- Lush Soap - Honey I Washed the Kids 

- Taut Collagen Orange Drink 

Kerastase Resistance Range

- Bain De Force Shampoo

- Ciment Anti-Usure Treatment

- Ciment Thermique - Reconstructor Milk 

All in all, my socks weren't knocked off. Although the Lush soap smells divine, and my hair is going to thoroughly enjoy the treatments - I was just expecting more! I shall leave my subscription open for the next couple of months, and see what the future boxes are like.

Maybe I am just too fussy? Either way, I still have hope!

Hope you all have a great day! xx

Luxury Bedroom with Satin Comforter Sets

Feel the luxuriant touch of satin comforter sets. These are among the most favored types of comforters in every home. This is due to the smooth and elegant touch of the fabric. If you have sensitive skin, you would surely feel that high degree of comfort that these sets bring. Once you get to lie down, you would feel like you are in paradise, basking in the smooth and soft feel of the comforters around you. In fact, satin has been used since the time of the royals.

If you have taken a closer look at the things that royals use before, you will notice that most of their bedding are made of satin. The royals know what opulence means and this is the reason why satin is the option at the top of their list. When using satin, they always make sure that the colors perfectly blend with their surroundings. Usually, large wooden canopies would utilize light colored satin comforter sets. Popular hues for such bedding are white, black, dark chocolate brown, cream, pearl gray, red and even purple. These colors exude elegance in every angle. Some people prefer dark-colored satin over light colored ones. Most likely because, it is easy to clean compared to light-colored satin sets.

This set is also perfect for those who have sensitive skins. The smooth and really nice feel of the fabric will make any person with sensitive skin sleep in comfort. The satin would be gliding smoothly over your skin. So no feeling of discomfort would be experienced as you sleep.

Satin comforter sets are usually comprised of a comforter, pillow, shams, neck roll and sometimes decorative pillows are included. Once the entire set is placed beautifully on the bed, a nice image will be seen. It could even be a perfect image for a home magazine.

One thing that you could do to make sure that the whole setting looks perfect is to ensure that your room decor coincide with your satin set. You could opt for decor that have elaborate designs in the event that your satin set is simple and has a single color only. On the other hand, if you have satin sets that already have elaborate designs, then you could go for decor that are simple in look and in design.

So if you desire to feel comfort and relaxation, then having those superb satin comforter sets would be a good choice for the bedroom.
