Lust Have It - December box review

It is a bit late now, since I received this box mid December (just after Bellabox) however I still thought I'd review and share my thoughts.. The box is in my opinion the most sturdy and best packaged box from the subscriptions I receive. It usually arrives first and the customer service has been by far the best. It is consistently the best products wise, and I've received the most full size products from Lust Have It. To find out more go to www.lusthaveit.com.au

 

This month's box contained 6 products, 2 of which were full sized:

Maybelline New York - Dream Fresh BB Cream
30ml (Full Size Product)

'The 1-step wonder for a good skin day, everyday. Ideal for all skin types, this BB Cream is packed with 8 great skin benefits for instant skin perfection! Fresh, lightweight and oil free, it blurs imperfections, enhances, brightens and hydrates all day.'

RRP $15.95

 

I love a good BB Cream and this one is pretty good! Not convinced it is better than my usual, Garnier, however it does do well. The colour I received was Medium, and I have light skin (judging from LHI's facebook page a lot of people weren't happy with this shade!) however it still looks good. It is summer so I'm using fake tan constantly so this shade is fine for me. The cream rubs in well and looks like i'm not wearing anything at all, but evens out my skin tone and covers my imperfections. It doesn't dry out my skin (i've used other BB creams which just dried my skin horribly) and does what it says on the tin. I like the price tag associated as well! I'm not one of those people that believes in spending millions on a BB cream, so this one is great.

 

Maybelline New York - Dream Pure BB Cream

1ml sample sachet

'This oil-free SPF 15+ skin corrector perfector contains 2% salicyclic acid + vitamins to conceal imperfections, reduce blemishes and pores, calms redness and adjusts to skin tone.'

RRP $15.95 30ml

 

I've received this sample previously in a different subscription box. After using the dream fresh BB I found it was pretty much the same, I can't really tell the difference except this one is a little heavier. Again, I'm loyal to my current BB Garnier, so although it is nice to try a different one I don't think I would buy it.

 

Pelactiv - Hydrating Foaming Cleanser

30ml sample

'A beautiful cleanser containing powerful antioxidants and green tea extract which helps fight damaging free radicals and reduces irritation to sensitive skin. It detoxifies and soothes, leaving skin feeling replenished. Suitable for normal to dry and sensitive skin.'

RRP $43 150ml

 

I'm in the market for a new cleanser so I was pleased to see this included, and even more pleased to see it is from an Australian company. I've not heard of Pelactiv before so I will definately be doing some research on them. I haven't used this yet, however it smells lovely and not too strong. It is more of a cleansing milk, so i'm excited to try this.

 

Uriage - Aquaprecis Refreshing Gel-Cream

15ml sample

'Perfect moisturiser for normal to combination skin, Aquaprecis Refreshing Gel-Cream relies on Uriage's H20 Technology which contains 'osmytes' to perfectly hydrate the skin, provide an immediate refreshing sensation and moisturise for 24 hours.'

RRP $49.95 40ml

 

I haven't used this yet, but i'm immediately turned off from the blurb... 'H20 Technology' erm wtf? My skin does get quite dry in summer, so it will be interesting to try.

 

SunSense - Anti-Aging Face SPF 30+

100ml FULL SIZE PRODUCT

'Offering UVA and UVB protection this product is designed specifically to help combat premature ageing caused by exposure to the sun. It has also been formulated with the added anti-ageing benefits of Aplha Hydroxy Acids, which exfoliate and moisturise skin, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The oil-free base is ideal for combination to dry skin and is non-comodegonic so it won't block pores. This product is available to purchase in SPF 50+.'

RRP 20.95 100ml

 

This product is perfect for me. I spend a lot of time in the sun on the farm and in the garden so I was very excited to try it. It says on the packet it may cause stinging and this is normal but I didn't experience that. It is lightweight and non greasy and feels lush. I would definately purchase this again.

 

Clairol - Visible Repair Intensive Mask

30ml sample

'This deeply nourishing mask repairs and strengthens damage for shiny, more resilient hair'.

RRP $13.95 300ml

 

I haven't tried this hair mask yet, but looking forward to it. My hair is damaged from the sun and colouring it so hopefully this does some difference. It is a good sized product, i would say i'd get 2 or 3 uses out of it.

 

Overall, I was quite happy with December's box. A little disappointed there was no Christmas theme though. I will get good use out of all products. I've seen on facebook a lot of people aren't happy with what they received, but I think compared to Bellabox, Lust Have It have done really well. 2 full size products is fabulous and one of those I'd definately purchase again. Out of the 3 beauty boxes i'm subscribed to, Lust Have It is the best this month. I'll review the other box, Her Fashion Box, shortly.
