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.

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!
