May Lust Have It Review!

Hey lovelies,

I received my May LHI bag three days ago, but I've only managed to find time to review it now, so here goes!

As some of you may have noticed from the last post on the April box, there were some issues last month with the shipping process, and a lot of members received their April boxes late. I was one of them, which is why this box seemed to arrive inordinately early, but what a treat not to have to wait too long between boxes!

This  is the first box since Glossybox joined LHI, so this month will have a bit of variety between the LHI and ex-GB subscribers. LHI original subscribers received their boxes first, with the ex-GB shipments meant to go out a week or so after. As usual, all LHI subscribers pretty much receive the same items, but with some slight variety in colours. However, as the majority of the ex-GB boxes had already been decided on before GB joined with LHI, the boxes were just amended slightly by LHI, so if you're an ex-GB subscriber, you're likely to receive some different goodies to what I got (in which case, please pop back and tell me what you got)!

So on to what I received, it all arrived in a pretty hot pink bag this month. There was a little card explaining that we'd receive 8 samples and a gorgeous little Mother's Day card this month as a little thank you for bearing with LHI through the April issues and to celebrate Mother's Day. Here's what I received:

ModelCo lipgloss (full sized) - I got this in 'striptease', a pretty pale pink. Some subscribers might get a lipstick in lieu of the gloss.

Evo calming shampoo and conditioner (deluxe samples)

Bioderma Crealine H20 make up remover (deluxe sample)

Calvin Klein sheer beauty perfume (sample)

Lust - 'Lust' soap (sample) - Jasmine scented. There's also a 'Dirty' soap, which is made from spearmint, sandalwood, pine and oakmoss.

Caron Laboratories Bump eRaiser medi paste (full sized)

Nicole by OPI mini polish

And a little Mother's Day card with a poem inside.

On to the photographs:

So what did I think of this month's samples?

I liked the lipgloss, I always like it when there are make up items in each box and I've never tried ModelCo glosses before, so it's fun to try something new. I also like that there's a mirror on the packaging, that will make it handy for touch up's!

I might actually be able to use this shampoo/conditioner as it doesn't have sulfates in it! I might give it a try in a couple of months once the keratin starts washing out of my hair. I do like Evo products so it will be good to try it. I didn't know what the Bioderma was when I first saw it as the packaging doesn't have much information, but fortunately the card explained that it was a make up remover. You apply some on a cotton pad and wipe your make up away, I've heard a lot about it so am quite eager to try this.

I liked the soap and the perfume sample, I've got quite a good collection of mini perfume samples now, they come in so handy for little weekend trips away or for carrying in your hand bag for a quick spritz. I actually have another tube of the Caron paste lying around somewhere, but I've yet to use it. Must find a use for it, methinks.

As for the Nicole polish, I could be mistaken as there is no label on the packaging, but I believe it's part of the Justin Bieber set released last year. We did receive two other polishes in that collection last year, but I was fortunate enough to get a different one this time. I know some other subscribers received double up's, which is a pity, but this purple glitter actually looks quite pretty, I can't wait to give it a go.

I do think the card was a very nice touch to go with Mother's Day. :)

Verdict? I really liked this box! It's good to see that having GB join LHI hasn't brought the standard down (as yet, anyway).

What did you think of the box, if you got one? Which items did you get?

Much love,
MM.
