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!

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.

Lust Have It September bag!

Lust have it arrived!

I get these a week or so after of the first of the month, and I give them a month to test and trial all the products before reviewing them.

September's box came!

A fancy black bag for a change!

Kerastase Resistance

Bain Force Architecte

Full size: 250ml ($42).  Sample: 30ml ($5.04)

Masque Force Architecte

Full size: 200ml ($62).  Sample: 30ml ($9.30)

These smell like a salon, and make my hair feel amazing.  I can get maybe two uses out of each one.

White Glo Whitening Toothpaste.

Full Size: 150ml ($5.49).  Sample: 24ml ($0.87)

As far as toothpaste goes, it does its job.  It has a slightly baking-soda-y taste, which is common for a whitening toothpaste.  This is a perfect travel size.

I like it.

Ofra Lip Liner - Wine

Full Size: $19.99

Its interesting that we got given two lip products in one box.  This one is a nude lipliner on me, but it matches with most of my other nude/brown lipsticks.  

Your Tea Skin Magic Tea

Full size: 60 Tea bags ($35 USD).  Sample: 1 tea bag ($0.58 USD)

We were meant to get 6 tea bags, with one before food twice a day.  I'm going to wait until the other 5 show up before trying them.

UB Cosmetics Tint Stick - V

Full Size: $23

I actually love this product.  I love the applicator (its kinda like a brush, but its like a liner, and its like a felt tip), I love the colour and I love the lasting power.  It lasts at least 4-5 hours on me with minimal wearing.

By itself with one coat of product.  Adding a gloss or balm enhances the colour.

Designer Brands - Twist And Go.

Full Size: $4.99

Another product I'm loving.  It does just what its meant to do.  It takes most polish off in one swipe/twist, and it takes a little longer for glitters and heavy applications.  I haven't tried it on gel polish, but I get the feeling it would work on that too.  

Its meant to be berry scented, but I don't smell berries.

The sponge is interesting - its like a zigzag split in the middle of the sponge.

Just a couple swipes to remove metallic polish.  The first swipe got the colour off, and the 2nd/3rd got the residual metallic finish off. 

Not overly a fan of the drying of the skin.  This is a common problem with acetone based products.




This was a pretty cool box.  I don't understand the inclusion of two lip products, but I've had a good use of the red lip tint.

Total cost of the box: $19.99.  
Total value this month: $63.28

These are very much worth the cost.
