Lust Have It! | February Box

Once again it's time for another Lust Have It box to land on my doorstep. It's a monthly beauty subscription box which includes 5-6 deluxe samples of a range of beauty products, all for $19.95. However, I do have a code which will give you $5 off your first box and it's SAMINDIGO. Just type it in when you're checking out on the website. Now, to get into the box!

This months theme was 'All About Makeup' which is totally up my street. My box included 5 items, 4 of which were full size. I'll talk about them in order of how they're laid out in the photo above. So first we have the Paula's Choice Skin Perfection 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant which retails for $33 for the full size, but the one I received was the sample size which they estimate to be worth around $12. As the name would suggest this is a chemical exfoliant which also contains salicylic acid. This definitely sounds like something I will like, providing it isn't too harsh on my skin. Next is the Designer Brands Black Liquid Eyeliner and it retails for $8.99 and I received a full size. I've recently started to get into liquid liner (though I am awful at applying it!) so I know I'll be getting a lot of use out of this. I find Designer Brands products to be a bit hit and miss at times, but we'll see how this one goes. The next product is the Natural Glamour Illuminating Foundation which retails for $29.95 and I got the full size. As soon as I saw this I knew it would be useless to me because it is just far too dark for me to get away with. It's in the shade medium and I am extremely pale so I don't think I'll ever get any wear out of this which is a shame. I'm just going to leave it sealed and try to pass it on to a friend or family member. Sticking with the brand Natural Glamour is their 2Glo Line Treatment Concealer which retails for $27.95 for the full size. I also received this in the shade medium, but I think I might be able to get some wear out of it because it doesn't seem as dark as the foundation, and the line treatment can be used on most people so that's fine. I have never used a primer just for underneath my eyes so I'm interested to see how it goes. Lastly is the Ulta3 Lip Liner in the shade Plum. This is another full size product and retails for $2.95. While I usually love everything that is plum-related, this is more of a browny-plum and I'm not too sure if I'm going to love it, but I'm definitely going to give it a try. 

All in all, I wasn't overly wowed by this box but it wasn't totally rubbish either. I would love to see some more luxurious brands included in these boxes rather than just the cheaper ones, so hopefully that'll happen one day in the future. 

*This box was sent to me for consideration, however all opinions are my own. This is not a sponsored post.

  1. Hi Sam, love coming across more young Aussie bloggers like myself! I definitely need to try out a liquid liner, I'm terrible at them though. Great post!
