Lust Have It May!

What?  It's only the middle of June?  What is this craziness?

Well, lemme tell you - my life just got a little busier.

And I just got the email to say the Lust Have It June box is on it's way.

So lets get into it!

PS:  The photos are dark because it's the middle of winter.  Sun?  What sun?

Looks a little like Taylor Swift.

Teeez Cosmetics Spectrum of Stars Eyeshadow - Splendor Sunset
Full Size: $29

Yep.  I like this.

I've always loved Teeze packaging.  I loved the box for the metallic red nail polish, and the bottle was very different.  I loved the lipstick tube, it was just so cute.  And I love this.

My epic photography setup.  The deck.  My camera.  The fairy lights on the roof.  

"It's just another brown eyeshadow".  

What the photo doesn't capture is the shift from rust brown to magenta and firey gold.  

It's meant to contain argan oil and be a velvety smooth texture.  I'm not sure about the oil, but it feels nice.  

Razzamatazz Opaque Leggings
Full Size: $11.95 (but seriously, could you imagine getting a sample size of leggings?  Bwaahaahaahaa!!)

I have a small supply of the Razzamatazz "curvy" stockings because normal stockings won't fit me.  Therefore, these won't fit either, but my sister will get use out of them during winter.  

This brand has some awesome stuff.  They also have some really classy looking patterned fishnet stockings along with the usual 15/80/120 denier.  Pretty much the only stockings I'll wear.

Lollipops Baume Grenadine
Full Size: $7.45

It says it's a balm, but it's a gloss.  

Contains shea butter, macadamia and vitamin e oil, and is meant to be restorative.  

I just end up with my hair stuck to my mouth.

If nothing else, the colour is kinda pretty.  It reminds me of the Mary Kay lipcolour we got in a previous box last year, but more of a liquid.  The colour doesn't translate very well to the lips, but as far as glosses go, it's ok.

MYSTERY ITEM!!

Urban Skincare Co Infuse Body Balm.  
From Memory: $3ish. (35ml)

I'm sure I've had this before, or at least I know I've had shampoo or something from them before.  

If I can go back through my archives and find it, I will... otherwise, let your fingers do the google-fu.

It smells good, like oranges.  I'm almost 90% sure that I've used this same thing last year. 

PHR Leave In Moisturiser.
Full Size: $35.95 (125ml).  Sample Size: $4.30

I washed my hair, towel dried it and was just looking at this packet on my desk, so thought "why not" and threw it in my hair.

It smells like Pina Colada's.  Not sure that my hair is dry enough to need it, because it just feels heavy now, but it smells fantastic.  Would I use it again?  Sure.  It would be nice for a once-a-week pamper day.  

Starlooks Pro Luxe Longwear Eyeliner Pen - Brown
Full Size: $20

Lemme tell ya, I LOVE eyeliners with brush tips.  No kidding, I will go for my Jordana Quickliner before any other eyeliner because it's like using a felt pen.  

This is very similar. 

I found the formula to be a little more draggy than I would've liked, and the swatches on my hand have a buildup of product on the sides that makes the line look weird.

It almost has a hint of green and a base of red. 

Did an eye look using the Teeze eyeshadow, the Starlooks eyeliner and the eyeshadow from the previous box as a highlight in my browbone.  Chella brow pencil.  Be A Bombshell mascara.

You can see how the eyeliner dragged along my eyelid, but the camera is picking up that pink flash in the Teeze eyeshadow.  Gorgeous!

Yea, I have really hooded eyes.  



So there we have it. 

Total cost of a Lust Have It box:  $19.95.
Total value of this one: $75ish (including the mystery product).

The conditioner was a one-time thing (damn those unresealable foil packets) but I'm excited to add the eyeliner and the eyeshadow to my makeup bag.


And I got a new banner!!

Now instead of $5, it's $10!!

*disclaimer thing*

My brain tells me to type things so I type them.  I'll tell you if I like something or not.  Usually I do like something.  Sometimes I don't.  

Lust Have It provides me with a box every month as part of an affiliate program.  All my opinions are my own.

OCTOOOOOOBER!!!! Lust Have It!!

We got a pretty cool box this month.


The info sheet was emailed instead of included in the bag.

Does anyone want a post on "Things to do with a million pink mesh bags"?

Atkins Endulge Chocolate Candies.
Full Size: $9 (5 packets).  Sample Size: $1.80 (1 packet)

Looks like m&m's, tastes like m&m's... I'm sold.  Give me more of these.  

Flormar Nail Polish

Full Size: $12

It's a pretty bright pink.  2 coats for full coverage, and it dries quite quickly.  

I haven't worn it long enough to give it the chip test, and the smell when applying reminds me of dollar store nail polishes - but those ones tend to be the ones that last forever!

Bioderma Sensibio Light
Full Size: $32.99 (40ml).  Sample: $12.37 (15ml)

It has no fragrance and absorbs really fast.  I keep it in my hand bag because I'm guilty of not slapping the moisturiser on straight out of the shower. I think I would've preferred a slightly floral or scented aroma, but that's just me being picky.

Lust Have It Highlighter
Full Size: $29.95 (8gm)

I've never used a highlighter.  I used to use a bronzer, but I think I learnt the error of my ways (applying it heavily with no regard to what I looked like) and decided to leave the bronzing for the nights out.  

In that same regard, I don't contour at all.  Adding a highlighter to my non-existent routine isn't really a step I wanted to take.

Mine arrived a little beaten up in the mail - not as bad as the Mellow eyeshadow from a previous box!  

A subtle shimmer, very much brings and attracts light to the areas you apply it.  The formula was a little on the chalky side, but it blends out ok on the skin.  

Hair & Me Organic Oil Hair Treatment
Full Size: $19.95 (90ml)

This stuff is like a little bag of magic. 
I had to put it in the fridge till it reached a creamy consistency (oh, the perils of living in a warm climate) and applied about 4 good palm-fulls to my hair.  My hair is pretty long, so your results will vary.  

Bundled my hair on top of my head, waited the length of an episode of American Horror Story, and showered.

It says to wash twice with shampoo, and they really do mean it.  After one pass, it was still pretty oily, and even after two shampoos, my hair (to me, at least) still felt a little weighed down the next day.  It was very shiny and dare I say it, healthy looking!

The formula is pretty much edible - they're all natural oils and it smells like a coconut exploded on your head.  Pair it with a Cosmetic Kitchen Chocolate face mask and you'd smell like a bounty bar!

Pity it can't cure split ends.

Flormar Eyeshadow Quad 
Full Size: $30-50 (they didn't list the *actual* product because it could of been one of many many things).

I have hooded lids, so eyeshadows for me are either BOLD and out there, or pretty understated, because at the best of times, you can only see my waterline and just under my brow.  

I tried to do a couple of eye looks with this, but the black just overpowered everything.  The white turns translucent and shimmery, but doesn't give enough oomph to pull the heavier colours out of goth territory.

See what I mean about dominating?

Ahhh, the missing Skin Magic tea bags... wait... but there is only one?!  

After sending them a quick email, the rest will be in the November box.




With a value of $106.07, this is a pretty nice haul from Lust Have It.
