PRODUCT REVIEW: LUST HAVE IT NOVEMBER 2015
The November Lust Have It Box actually arrived in the relevant month this time, which is always nice surprise, especially after frequent delays. This is what’s in this months’ box and my thoughts on it;
What They SayLust Have It boxes regularly contains products worth $60+ for only $19.95/month! Monthly box filled with 5 to 6 premium beauty samples. Delivered to your home or work each month for you to try.

What I Say:
Like previous months, this months’ products arrived in a pink mesh bag. I do like these bags, as they are handy to store things in, however, I’m now starting to have that many of them that I’d love for LHI to introduce a new design soon.
These are the goodies included this month; 5 makeup products, a bonus product, and the remainder of the tea bags which were missing a few months ago!
Manna Kadar Lip Chubbie LipLocked Lippie Priming Wand – Full Size (RRP $24.00)
I have never heard of this brand before, and it always excites me coming across and trying new brands. This lippie contains built-in primer as well as vitamin A and E to help nourish the lips. It smells absolutely divine too. I received the colour Chubbie Amore which is a cool toned medium pink shade perfect for every day wear. I would have preferred a darker shade as I rarely wear lighter pink shades, but as love lip crayons I have no doubt it will be used.
Evelyn Iona natural and organic concealer – Sample, 1.7g (RRP: $19.80/3g)
This concealer comes in a little sample pot and it contains vitamin E, cocoa seed butter, organic coconut, jojoba and castor seed oil, and claims to care for the skin whilst covering imperfections and giving the skin a dewy glow. Sadly not having perfect skin and always sleep deprived, I’m always looking for a good concealer so can’t wait to put it to the test.
Coral Colours Love Lips – full size ($6.99)
This is a tinted balm, and unfortunately it smells like coconut, I unfortunately as coconut is not a favourite scent of mine, but I’m sure others will absolutely love it. I got the shade Cotton Candy which is a pink shade, and considering it is a tinted balm, it is actually surprisingly pigmented. But again, sadly due to the coconut scent, I doubt I’ll be using it!
Garnier miracle day cream – 5ml sample (RRP $19.99/50ml)
I have heard about this cream a few times, but am yet to try it. It has big claims including anti-ageing benefits, as well as a self-adjusting technology that gives both instant and long term results, so I look forward to giving this one a go.
Ulta3 cream blush stick – full size ($6.95)
This is a cream blush stick which claims to be buildable and blendable colour. I love cream blushes and I am yet to try an Ulta3 product I didn’t find good value for money, so look forward to trying this one too. I got the colour Beach Bronze which the name suggests is a bronze shade, and in actual fact it looks more like a bronzing cream than an actual blush. I would have preferred a pink or apricot shade as I would no doubt have used it more, but then again, I’ve got heaps of other blushes in those shades, so it’s nice with a different one.
Bonus Product: Carefree Ultra thins regular – Sample pack of 2 pads (RRP: $4.29)
I’m sorry to say that receiving these pads just doesn’t excite me. They may be really good pads, and I will make sure to try them out at some point, but pads are a necessity, just like toilet paper and dish washing detergent, so getting them is a little blah! I know it’s a bonus product so really shouldn’t complain!
So there you go, the contents in the November Lust Have It box. While it did contain both skin care, makeup ,the tea bags and the pads, it is unfortunately not as good a variety as previous months' boxes which have also including hair care and body care, but I do still like the there are a few different types of products.
In terms of value, there are three full sided products with a combined value of $38, as well as the two deluxe samples (concealer and cream), plus then the pads, and you really cannot add the tea bags into this equation as they should have been included in a previous box. So all in all, while you certainly get more value than what you pay for the box, it is just not as great a value as previous boxes, and personally unfortunately only the Manna Kadar Lip Chubbie really excites me!! But guess, when you look at it, even the lip chubbie is worth more than the actual box, and then really everything else is bonus, so you really cant complain too much, its just that previous boxes have been far better value, and have included, at least for me, more exciting products.

PRODUCT REVIEW: LUST HAVE IT FEBRUARY 2015
It seems Lust Have It continues to have some shipping issues. The January edition arrived on the 20th February, and well, the February edition arrived yesterday, the 16th March, so sadly again still close to a month late. As I’ve mentioned before, If I was a paying subscriber, I would be disappointed, regardless of the amount of communication regarding the delay, but again, as the box has been sent to me as a PR sample, I really cannot complain. But I still have my fingers crossed that Lust Have It will get back on track soon with the shipping and that the March Box will arrive soon, before subscribers get too frustrated! Anyway, here are my thoughts on the February Lust Have It Box;

What I Say:
Yet again the February goodies arrived in a see-through pink mesh bag, and these are the products in bag this month, and these were the products inside;

Ulta3 Plum Lip Liner – Full Size (RRP: $2.95)
.JPG)
This lip liner has a plum shade, which is right on trend for the autumn colours. I have to admit that I don’t often wear plum lipsticks – or use lipliners for that matter – yes, I know I really should! In saying that, I haven’t got this shade in my collection, so it certainly won’t go astray.
Natural Glamour 2GLO Line Treatment Concealer – Full Size (RRP: $27.95)
.JPG)
This is a dual ended product with a Line Treatment in one end, and a concealer in the other. It promises to both treat and hide flaws. The Line Treatment promises to tighten and moisturise the eye area, while the concealer covers any redness, dark circles under the eyes, and pigmentation. Again, this sounds perfect to me, and with a growing bump I rarely get a good night’s sleep these days, and consequently a little help under the eyes wouldn’t go astray – except, like the foundation, I received is in the medium shade, which unfortunately is a touch too dark for my skin tone.
Natural Glamour Illuminating Foundation SPF 15 – Full Size (RRP: $29.95/40ml)
.JPG)
This foundation promises a flawless glowing complexion with a radiant matte look. It also promises to conceal blemishes. I do get the odd breakout, and also have some scarring as well as increasing pregnancy pigmentation, so this sounds like the perfect foundation for me - if only I hadn’t received it in the Medium shade, which unfortunately is a tad too dark for my skin tone!
Designer Brands Black Liquid Eyeliner – Full Size (RRP: $8.99)
.JPG)
I always use black liquid eyeliner, so this one certainly won’t go astray. I have only tried a few products from Designer Brands, which considering their low price, have been surprisingly good in quality, so I cannot wait to put this one to the test.
Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant – Sample, 30ml (RRP: $33.00/118ml)
.JPG)
This Skin Perfecting Exfoliant claims to exfoliate both the skin’s surface and inside the pores, unclogging the pores and improving cell turnover. With combination skin prone to breakouts, this sounds pretty awesome to me, and I’d love to give this a trial, right now – but sadly, being pregnant, I cannot use it right now, so I will have to wait until after I’ve given birth. Bummer!!
So all in all, unfortunately I am personally not particularly impressed with this month’s box, simply because there really is only one product that I will be using on a regular basis, the liquid eye liner. The foundation and the concealer, would have really excited me, if only I had received colours that better matched my skin tone. Luckily I am sure that a friend will happily take those products from me, so they are not completely wasted.
But in saying that, the box does contain four full sized products, and one deluxe sample, so in that respect it is good value for money – and especially if the foundation and concealer shades are right for you. I do find it a shame, as I can only imagine that I am not the only one to receive products that I won’t be able to use – if only Lust Have It was able to customise their boxes when including products that are for specific skin tones, then it would be an absolute winner.
Fingers crossed that the March box will be a little more my style….
