Lust Have It April box!!

 Everyone's favorite time of the month...

LUST HAVE IT!!

Appelles Blackseed Shampoo and Tamanu Conditioner
Full size: 500ml ($47).  Sample Size: 35ml ($3.29)

This stuff smells amazing.  Its herby and leaves your hair feeling really soft. 

Manna Kadar Beauty 3-in-one Fantasy blush-highlighter-eyeshadow
Full Size: $25

This is such a pretty neutral colour.  I have worn it a couple of times, but everytime I try to photograph it, it doesn't show up.  

I prefer to use it as an eyeshadow, but as a 3 in one product, you can totally get a variety of use out of it.  
It doesn't really work as a blush on my colouring - its just too close to my regular skin tone.

Still very pretty and wearable as a highlight or an eyeshadow though. 

Marsk Certified Organic Browliner - Marilyn
Full Size: $28.95

I had to pass this onto my blonde-haired sister after taking a swatch, because honestly, I would never use this.  I have medium/dark brown hair and my brows are generally the same colour.  

See how light it is?  It just wouldn't work for me.

Marsk Certified Organic Eyeliner  - Pitch Black
Full Size: $28.95

I'm still going on the 1st Marsk Eyeliners that we were sent, so I gave this one also to my sister.

It's a pretty basic black eyeliner pencil.  Takes a couple swipes to build up colour, but its decent enough for a day look, and pretty easy to smudge out for a smoky eye.

Personail Nail Strips
Full size: $18

Not sure of the style name, I think these are called Perfectionist.

I've tried these kinda strips in the past, and they are OK for a week or so and do the job.

The half-moon design was interesting.  I'm not sure if you are meant to put them over polish or not.

Because I had done my nails a few days prior with some full coverage water decals, I tried to accent one nail on each hand.

You can see that the silver isn't really opaque - you can still see the decal through the glitter.  

Filed the end off and yea, it looks OK.  I'm not sure that I would choose a design like this in future though..

Added a top coat to it after the photos were taken, and it lasted a good couple of days before I took everything off (the decals were getting a little on the tatty side).

I'm sure my sister would get more use out of them than I would anyway!


So thats it, folks!

Total cost of the box: $19.95
Total Value:  $107.48
Total useful value to me personally (because I passed on most of the items): $31.58.

Still a decent return on a $20 box!

Lust Have It March ... in May?!

Lust Have It had some supply issues so the bags were delayed.

This means that what we should of gotten in March was delayed until May, and what a wait it was!

I am missing the product card, so you can do your own homework and google the items you find interesting.

No pink bag this month!  A sleek glossy black cardboard box.  It was a little flimsy - one of my products was a little broken.

Model Co BB Cream

I like that it contains SPF.  A lot of BB Creams don't, and its really really handy to have in NZ.
It looks ok, feels ok, and lasted around 4 hours on me.  I did have to touch it up once through the day.

Swatch shows it rubbed in and un-rubbed.  Very sheer coverage, although on my face it did even out my skin tone and reduce my redness.

Uriage Tolederm Cleansing Water.

I would of loved to have been able to test this, but alas, the package was broken at the top and seeped into the packing tissue of the box.  You can see in the 2nd picture just how much was left.

If I can get another one of these, I'll give it a go!

Uriage Tolederm Hydra-Soothing Cream

The smallest sample ever!  I think I could mayyyyybe get two uses out of this.
I'm going to Wellington in July, so unless I get another travel-sized moisturiser in the next box, I'm gonna save this to take with me for the weekend.

Urban Skincare Co. Daily Body Cleanser

You can totally smell the coriander.  It has a light, fresh, green scent.  You can get a good few uses out of this sample - I'd say 2-3.

Appelles Shampoo and Conditioner

First and foremost:  Ylang ylang gives me headaches, yet this doesn't smell of it at all.  I get more Lavender and Rosemary, which makes me love it.

The Shampoo contains Blackseed, which contains fatty acids, proteins and vitamins, which is meant to strengthen hair and leave it with volume and shine.

The Conditioner contains Tamanu, which contains antioxidents and fatty acids which penetrate into the follicle, restoring moisture and boosting resistance to split ends.

 LonVitalite C4 Coconut Mask

I've used a few of these masks before.  They're pretty good for what they are.  I would suggest to wash your face with a hot towel, then apply the mask, and then replace the hot towel over your face.  It just feels way better than a slightly sticky cold mask on your face.




Lust Have It is a $19.99AU per month beauty box, and despite the issues they've had with timing, it seems to be pretty consistent in terms of value.
