What I Say:
Like previous
months, this months’ products arrived in a pink mesh bag, and this month it
included three full sized items and two deluxe sample sizes. Unani Micellar Water – Full Size (RRP: $22.50/200ml)
Hikari Blush – Full Size (RRP: $21/6g)
Hikari Lip Crayon
– Full Size (RRP: $18/2.5g)
Another product
from Hikari – and while I don’t mind terribly as I do like lip crayons, I would
on the other hand have preferred if it had been from another brand for a bit
more variety in the box. The info card mentions you’d either get the shade
Sunkissed or Amour, yet I actually got the shade ‘Macchiato’!! Go figure!
Anyway, the shade ‘Macchiato’ is a warm peach shade, not my usual choice, but
regardless, a lovely shade.
Skinyoga Almond
Face Scrub – Sample, 5.67g (RRP: $24/50g)
Another new
brand, yay! And from the first glance at the packaging I was in love. Small
timber crates, what a novel idea – although they would be a bit wasted as soon
as the product is taken out – except my little 2.5 year old boy is currently
pirate obsessed, and he quickly declared that they were ‘treasure chests’, so
as soon as I’d taken the photos, the empty boxes disappeared into his pirate
ship! LOL!
The actual the
product is made from 100% natural ingredients and claim to hydrate, nourish and
repair damage from excessive use of chemicals while exfoliating the skin and
removing dead skin cells, and even lightening scars with regular use! The face
scrub comes in a little glass bottle with a cork lid – again I’m loving this as
its just so different, even down to the cork lid that you hardly ever get in
wine bottles anymore! The actual scrub is a yellowish powder that is prepared
by mixing it with water. All in all sound pretty good to me, so cannot wait to
try it out.
Skinyoga
Sandalwood and saffron facemask – Sample, 5g (RRP: $24/50g)
Another product
from Skinyoga – and as with the Hikari, I am excited to try more from this
brand, I would yet again have preferred a product from another brand for more
variety in the box. As with the Face Scrub, the Face Mask comes in the timber
crate and in a glass bottle with the cork lid, and it also has to be made up by
mixing it with water. This face mask is intended for dry skin, and as I have
combination skin, I am a little more hesitant putting this mask to the test,
also because my skin has been particularly troublesome lately with breakouts so
don’t really want to bug it too much.
So there you have it, the contents
in the January Lust Have It box which contains a combination of skincare and
makeup products, although unfortunately only from three different brands. The
value of this months box is quite reasonable at almost $70 (the Skinyoga
products both have price tags of $4.20!), although in terms of value, previous
boxes have exceeded this.
In terms of the products, I
am generally quite impressed, as the Unani micellar water will always be
useful, the Hikari blush has a lovely colour and the Skinyoga scrub I also cant
wait to try. As for the Hikari lip crayon I am not sure I’ll really like the
shade and the Skinyoga face mask doesn’t really fit my skin type, so I may pass
these onto a friend. So all in all a
resonable start to the year, not brilliant, seeing I am unsure about two out of
five products, but certainly not bad either – bring on the February box!
