Lust Have It! | March Box

It's once again time for another monthly Lust Have It box to arrive in my PO Box for me to enjoy! Now this is the March box, and it came a little late due to shipping and supplier issues, from what I know. Nevertheless, it's here now so that's what matters!

I'm just going to start with the product I was most excited to receive, and that is the Model Co BB+ Cream in Light. I was overjoyed that I had finally been sent a face product that would actually match my pale skin tone! I find Model Co products are a love/hate thing for me. Sometimes I am so impressed by them and absolutely adore them, other times I can't stand to use them at all. Thankfully, this was a product that I love! BB creams are part skincare, part makeup, and this one is great. My biggest problem with BB creams is that they are usually too oily for my skin and make me look like a complete mess after a couple of hours (no matter how much primer or powder I use!). I was a little apprehensive to try this one out because I expected to see the same thing, but I didn't! This is an oil free formula that's lightweight and feels so good on my skin. Upon application it feels quite moisturising, but then it sinks in and leaves a satin matte finish and I can hardly feel it on my skin at all. If you're on the hunt for a new BB cream, definitely check this one out.

The next product that I was excited to see was the Lonvitalite Coconut Milk Facial Mask. I have tried a few face masks from this brand before and I always love them, so I'm sure this one will be no exception! Moving onto the Appelles Blackseed Shampoo and Tamanu Conditioner. I have used these and I did like them. You can definitely tell that they're organic, and while they aren't the most nourishing, I still did like using them. They smell very herbal/floral but I kind of like it. I haven't tried the Urban Skincare Co Daily Body Cleanser yet but I am excited to use it the next time I have a bath (which will probably be tonight). It smells great and so relaxing. Last but not least there were two skincare samples from Uriage. There was the Toléderm Cleansing Water and the Toléderm Hydra-Soothing Cream. I'm not sure when I'll get to use them, but I'll keep them in my drawer with the rest of my mini products for if I ever go away anywhere. 

I was rather impressed with this box because it contained products that I'll actually use! Out of the ones I've used so far, I love them, and can't wait to try the others. Just like always you guys can get $5 off your first Lust Have It box by using the code SAMINDIGO1 when checking out, and I encourage you to do so (you can click here to join)! There's nothing quite like having lovely beauty products arriving at your doorstep each month...

Moments and Memories #1

Yesterday at uni was one of the most stressful days ever. I was there for a solid 10 and a half hours working on a group assessment. It was the third day we'd been there that week. Stress and tension levels were high, and it seemed that everything was going wrong at some points. However, we finished our assessment, submitted it, and felt another weight lifted off our shoulders. Surprisingly there were parts of the day that I really enjoyed. We had moments of laughing so much that some of us ended up on the floor, moments where we were almost crying, and moments where we wanted to throw our laptops at the wall. But we made it. 

I'm currently in my third year of my degree, and I'm about to finish my second last semester. It took a while, but I managed to find some really solid friends who I am so thankful for. Uni would be a whole lot harder without them. A thought I've been having recently is 'have I really been experiencing uni?'. Because I kind of felt like I hadn't been, and it scared me. As much as there are moments where I want to give up, cry, and drop out, I'm glad I haven't. I know that it will be well worth it in the end. 

Although yesterday was a crazy stressful day, and this week hasn't been the best and kind of feels like it's been going on forever, I walked out of uni last night feeling happy. I felt like I was truly experiencing uni in all it's forms. Even though it was awful at times during the day, we survived through to the night and ended on a good note. I felt a part of something. I felt like I was fulfilling my uni duties correctly. I felt like I was experiencing something great. 

These moments will become memories and stories that I'll probably share with friends and tell my kids one day, and that makes me happy. So often I feel like I don't have that many great stories to tell, but I feel like I could perhaps be beginning to make some. I hope you don't mind that I'll jot them down on here every now and then, but why not? Here's to more story-making...
