Lust Have It JULLLLLLLYYYY!!!

I love getting boxes like this one - a full face of makeup!

Lets start with the face.  Because it's actually not too bad looking!

Eyeshadow, mascara, blush and lipstick all came from this bag.  The base was a Za powder.

The brush on the mascara was a little hard for me to work with personally, so it went on the lash line, and I tried to hide it with a smudge of the darker purple from the eyeshadow duo.  Didn't really work.

I like the blue mascara though!

(Gosh my nose looks huge in these photos!)

Onto the products!

GOSH Matt Duo Eyeshadow - 008 Dusty Purple
Full Size: $14.99

It's a pretty duo.  It's a little chalky but the colour payoff is ok.  I haven't tried it wet, but it might improve the colour intensity.

MPrincess Mineral Blush - Peach Fuzz
Full Size: $15.45 (1.2g)

Orange blush?  Shimmery orange blush?!

It's not too bad!

The shimmer acts as a nice highlight, and the orange actually blends out quite nicely to a pinkish finish.    On my hand I have it blended out (on the left) and applied roughly with my finger (on the right).

If you threw it over a base, it would make a great eyeshadow.

Teeez Cosmetics Desert Metals Mascara - Sapphire Nights
Full Size: $32.50

I've never used a coloured mascara before, so this intrigued me.  It's dark enough that I can totally get away with wearing it on a normal day-to-day basis.  It would look amazing with they grey-blue eyeliner from the previous box.

Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush - Marshmellow Pink
Full Size: $15

A cool leaning blue-based pink.  Not really my colour - I think it looks a little too barbie on me.
It claims to be a stain, but it doesn't stain nearly as much as the other JPP lip blush that I got a while back.

I think if I was to sheer it out a little, or wear something darker mixed with it, I could pull it off a little better.

Essenzza Face Mask

Full Size: $4.99

This brand is amazing.  I love their wipes, I love their masks, and this one has a mask pattern printed on it, so you don't look quite as weird sitting there with a sheet of paper on your face.  

I tend to collect these up and save them for pamper nights with the girls, or the day after a big night out.

Total cost for the box: $19.95 Australian money.

Total value of this box: $82.93.

Considering I'll use every product, this is a great box.

Lust Have It January box!

Woop Woop!!!

Here we go!

Unani Micellar Water
Full Size: $22.50 (200ml)

Mmmm.  It smells good, like sweet roses.

Doesn't sting or irritate my skin, and gets all the product off in a few quick swipes.  Dries feeling soft and clean on the skin.

One day I'll have to do a comparison between all the micellar waters I've had before!

Hikari Blush - Sunkissed
Full Size: $21

This colour isn't great for me.  It's literally the same colour as my skin, so if I apply it, I only see the shimmer, no real colour.

I will keep it and find a way to use it - maybe as a highlight or as a base for an eyeshadow look.

Hikari Lip Crayon - Amore
Full Size: $18

I love this colour.  I think I just have a thing for a good red lippy.

I wore it with my Ariel costume, and I reapplied whenever it started to feel a little dry.  Lasted most of the day with no issues except when eating/drinking.

Skinyoga Almond Orange Face Scrub
Full Size: $24 (50gm).  Sample: $2.40 (5gm)

It smells interesting!  The texture is lovely and my skin feels so much nicer afterwards.  I like that you start using it as a cleanser, and then you leave it on for 15 minutes before rinsing.

Skinyoga Sandalwood Saffron Face Mask
Full Size $24 (50g).  Sample: $2.40 (5gm)

I haven't used the mask yet.  It has a very earthy scent and if it's anything like the face scrub, it will be really gorgeous.  Not sure if the texture is right because my cork was broken.

 All in all, this box was OK.

Only three brands featured instead of the usual 4 or 5.

Total cost of box:  $19.99
Total value of January box:  $66.30

Thanks Lust Have It for another month of makeup!

November Lust Have It!

Holy photos, Batman!  It's time (well past time) to post the November Lust Have It!

The December one is due to show up in a couple days, so lets get this good time started!

Some good stuff this month!

Ulta3 Blush Stick - Bold Apricot

Full Size: $6.95

This is a cream to powder blush and despite it saying "bold", it's not overpowering.  It seems a little chalky going on, but it blends out to almost nothing, just a subtle hint of colour.

Left side is smudged/blended out, right side is untouched.

It's very subtle.  I think this was 3 or 4 swipes, blending out each one with my fingers.  I guess you could build it up, but its summer, and lets embrace the non-heavy makeup.  Also, freckles.  I has them.

Evelyn Iona Natural and Organic Concealer - Flawless
Full Size: $19.80 (3g).  Sample: $11.22 (1.7g)

This is a very creamy formula and it pretty perfectly matches my skin colour.  The sample size is small enough that I can throw it into my makeup bag and not worry about carrying a huge pottle around.

Can you even see it?  Its there... somewhere...

Coral Colours Love Lips - Peach Sorbet

Full Size: $6.99

This colour is a bit light on me, its OK but not sure I could wear it on the daily.  It is a little patchy when applied straight from the... bullet?  It's shaped like an EOS balm, which just makes me want to rub it all over my mouth instead of trying to actually get it ON my lips.

It's still a pretty colour though.  I'd need to be a little paler I think to pull it off.

Manna Kadar Liplocked Lippie - XOXO
Full Size: $24

I'm a sucker for a good lip colour.

This one is a hard colour to describe.  In the tube it shows as a dark pink-leaning nude, but on the skin it changes into something more mauve, and on the lips its different again.  Application is great, but it tends to catch on bits that need to be exfoliated, and that is something I haven't done in a while.  Naughty Stacey.

Garnier Miracle Skin Cream

Full Size: $19.99 (50ml).  Sample: $1.99 (5ml)

For a daily moisturiser this isn't too bad.  Its light and goes on without a greasy feel.  It has a very strong scent of floral and is tinted.  The whole thing isn't tinted though, it appears to have little beads of colour in it that burst as you rub it in.  You need to be careful to get it all even or else you'll have streaks.  

Also, It has SPF15, which is good for daily skin care, but will cause havoc with flash photography, so plan wisely and maybe change it out for a normal moisturiser if you're going out or know you're gonna be somewhere with flashing lights.

I'd buy this in full size.  

BONUS!

Stayfree UltraThins.
Full Size: $4.29.  Not sure how many are in a full pack, I don't use this brand normally.

Personally, I don't understand why companies send samples of sanitary products.  I know they fit the "women" section of the bag, but I would rather have a voucher to go get a product that suits my needs rather than the actual product.  In saying that, most of the vouchers we get are for Australia, and we can't use them here in NZ.




Total value this month:  $51.99

Not bad!

Lust Have It July

July box!!

(shuuush, I know its September...)

Lust have it is a monthly subscription service from Australia.  The land of Kangaroos, Drop Bears, and cosmetics.

On with the show!!!

Be A Bomshell The One Stick - Southern Belle
Full Size: $24

For a "one and done" stick, this isn't too bad.  It blends out nicely, has a powder-finish, and isn't overly bright.  I'd suggest layering a lipbalm over the colour if you plan to use it as a lip product, because of this powderyness.

Be A Bombshell Lip Gloss - Sugar Lips
Full Size: $21

Not a fan.  Nope.  I don't like sticky, I don't like the colour, and I'm having trouble liking this one.

If it was a lipstick, I'd like it a million times more.  It's just the sticky!!

Hikari Eyeshadow Quad - Halle
Full Size: $22.50

Halle has 4 shades perfect for creating a smoky natural look.
Almond, Champagne, Majestic and Brownie.

They'd build up nice, but I tend to wear it a little on the sheer side.

Paula's Choice Resist Intensive Wrinkle-Repair Retinol Serum
Full Size: $52 (30ml).  Sample: $ 12.13 (7ml)

Try saying that name 3 times fast!

I haven't used this, and I will probably pass it onto a family member, but how do you do that without seeming insulting?

If anyone out there in blog land wants to try this product, let me know, and I'll give it to you.

Marsk Certified Organic Eyeliner - Pitch Black
Full Size: $33.50

It's a repeat!  But a good one.

I used my last one as a base for duochromatic eyeshadows (like the last one we got from LHI, Marsk's Mudcake), and it's fantastic.

It's not too draggy, and it stays in place for a decent amount of time.
Just your average non-gel-based eyeliner.

Seeing as I didn't need another one yet, I've passed this along to my sister.

Garnier Fructis Shampoo Samples.
Full Size: $5.95 (250ml).  Sample: $0.24 each (10ml)

I'm not sure that this was really worth including as a bonus.

I've used this one before, and it's fine as a shampoo.
Unfortunately, because there is such a small amount, and we all know how long my hair has gotten, this small amount just isn't gonna cut it.




I did a full face makeup with the products - winter/spring lighting is pretty harsh.

 Inika Primer, 2Glo concealer, Beau Box Wonder Powder foundation, Kleancolor Eye Primer, Be A Bombshell Southern Belle blush, Hikari Halle eyeshadow quad, Marsk eyeliner, Be A Bombshell lipgloss.

 Total cost of the box: $19.95.

So pretty good!  I gave the eyeliner and the lipgloss to my sister, and I've used the blush a couple times, as both lip colour and blush!
