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!

Lust Have It: December!!

I had been delaying this post because we were missing a hand cream, and told it would arrive in the January box.

Well, Jan box is here, and no hand cream.

So here we go!





 Naobay Moisturising Peeling Brightening Facial Milk Scrub
Full Size: $27 (100ml)

Wow, they really tried to cram ALL of the words into this one, didn't they!

Things that say peeling always scare me.  Apparently the "peeling" is because of the lactose in the milk.
I haven't tried it.  I'm scared.





Zeus

Not for sale.  Just for cuddles.





Full Size: $22

We were meant to get either "London" or "Shanghai".  I think I like these colours more!

The bronze and silver have some serious shine to them.


Swatches on bare skin in the order of the quad.  

The metallics have a great pop, but the two other colours are a little chalky.


Sorry for the shadow.  I used the four colours.  The brown in the crease, the white as a base, and the metallics in the inner and outer corners.  
I also used the chella highlighting stick under the brow.

I tried to use the darker brown colour as a liner by following the directions and putting the tip of my brush into water and then into the shadow, but when it was dry, it had a very pale chalky finish, so didn't really work as intended.

Used a plain black eyeliner instead.


I have very hooded eyes.





Essenzza Fuss Free Naturals
Micellar Mini Wipes
$2.25 (Is this a full size mini or just a sample?  I don't know.)

Micellar water is the "hit craze" in the makeup industry.  It gets your makeup off in one sweep, and it is meant to be gentle on skin.

I've tried two others before, and these wipes just don't like my eyes.  I feel the burn!
They seem to be way wetter and soapier than putting micellar water from a bottle onto a cotton pad.

90% of me LOVES this brand.  10% of me doesn't like that it stings my eyes.





Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil.
Full Size: $24.50

Not sure what it's made from, but it seems very very creamy.  Blends out nicely and doesn't feel sticky.

If you were really pale, it would totally work as a concealer.  If you're into contouring, it would work as a highlight for your contouring.


 Unblended and blended.





Click the image above to get $5 off your first box!  They're pretty good!


Total cost is usually $19.95 a month + shipping.
Without the hand cream, we're looking at $75.75 all up.  Thats a decent investment!


Thanks Lust Have It for providing me with boxes every month.  I'm loving them!
