Lust Have It July 2015

I received my parcel from Lust Have It on Friday, which was the last day of July, so they are officially back on top of their shipping issue. Another issue the company is on top of is the quality of their boxes because this one was an absolute little ripper. Besides from the bonus product, all the products featured were cruelty free! The packaging is also back to the mesh zipper makeup bag that I absolutely loved and was so devastated when they stopped using them. I’m really glad that I stuck around and weathered the storm of the last few disastrous months because this month was really worth it. The Lust Have It beauty service costs $19.95 a month and the total value of this month was $101 in full size products not including the two sample size products. You are really starting to get your moneys worth again with Lust Have It.

Be A Bombshell The One Stick in Flustered

I had never heard of this brand before it arrived in the July bag and that is something I really like and is always exciting. A quick Google search of Be A Bombshell shows that it is an American brand that is cruelty free with a focus on really colourful cosmetics. The One is a multiple stick that you can use for cheeks, lips and eyes and I received the colour Flustered that is a bright red that turns to a hot pink colour when you blend it out. It has got a hint of shimmer and when I first opened the packaging I was all “WOAH, this is a bit intense for my pale skin” but it looked beautiful on the lips and because its really easy to blend so you don’t need a lot and it wont look too intense on the cheeks. Would not recommend wearing this shade on the eyes though! Full Size. $24. Cruelty Free.

Be A Bombshell Lip Gloss in Sugar Lips

When I first saw this lip-gloss I was absolutely in love! Not only with the name of it but because of the complete Barbie pink shade. It is VERY pigmented, VERY glossy and VERY long lasting. It can get a bit sticky if you apply too much but it kept my lips hydrated, glossy and with the perfect amount of colour. Full Size. $21. Cruelty Free.

Hikari Eyeshadow Quad in Halle

Another American cruelty free brand I hadn’t heard of before came in the form of a gorgeous little eyeshadow quad. I got four very useable colours that will definitely not go to waste. There is one matte and three shimmer shades that are incredibly buttery and creamy to touch. They aren’t extremely pigmented which means you’ll need to use a bit more shadow but these blend out like an absolute dream and are so easy to work with. I can’t even believe how well they all blend, I was so surprised. The four shades I received in the Halle quad are a matte nude colour, a shimmery olive gold, shimmery chocolate brown and a shimmery peach colour. I would really recommend these palettes, so divine! Full Size. $22.50. Cruelty Free.

Paula’s Choice Resist Intensive Wrinkle Repair Retinol Serum

I love the Paula’s Choice brand and especially love reading their Beautypedia which helped educate me a lot with the different skincare ingredients and how well they work with my skin. I’ve gotten the chance to try a couple of the products and they’ve all been so amazing, so when I saw the retinol serum sample I just squealed with delight. Retinol is a great ingredient to help the skin with repairing itself and this serum targets wrinkles and sun damage while assisting in building collagen and reducing sunspots and pigmentation. I don’t really have a problem with wrinkles right now (I’m smart enough to stay out of the sun and use sunscreen) but I’m really excited to see how this goes with assisting the red marks on my face from acne scarring. Excitement overload for this product. Deluxe Sample. Cruelty Free.

Marsk Certified Organic Eyeliner in Pitch Black

I’ve previously received this product in another box and have only used it a couple of times, but it is still as wonderful as the first time I used it. Cruelty free and organic, this eyeliner lives up to its Pitch Black name. It’s incredibly easy to use and doesn’t tug and drag at the delicate eye skin, which means you can get smooth lines with ease. A great little liner for any pencil lover. Full Size. $33.50. Cruelty Free.

BONUS

Garnier Fructis Full and Luscious Shampoo and Conditioner

Argh Lust Have It. This would have been a perfect cruelty free box is it wasn’t for these samples, but oh well. This shampoo and conditioner combo is meant to create thicker, fuller and healthier hair. I don’t really need thicker hair but I will use it up and just wont repurchase it since Garnier aren’t cruelty free. Sample Size. TESTS ON ANIMALS.
