Lust Have It July 2014 Beauty Box Review

Lust Have It is a Australian beauty sample subscription box service. For the last year I have been subscribing on and off to their Women’s beauty box. For the price of $19.95 a month including delivery subscribers receive 5-7 deluxe samples.  

WHAT WAS IN MY BOX:

CATWALK BY TIGI Session Series Styling Cream (RRP $29 AUD for 150ml) Full size product

To be honest I don’t really use styling products in my hair, since I am a stay at home parent I don’t often feel the need to. I’m not that excited to see this product but since I have it now I’m sure I will make use of it. I do think it smells wonderful, so that is a plus.

MARSK Mineral Eye Shadow (RRP $24.95 AUD for 1.2g) Full size product

The was the item that Lust Have It allowed their subscribers to choose the colour of, and I chose the golden shade ‘Rich List’. I really like the change that Lust Have It has made to allow people to choose which item they would prefer. I have to admit I am not a big wearer of eye shadow, so I am not sure if I will wear this or pass it on to someone else. I just chose ‘Rich List’ because I thought that if I did happen to use this eye shadow I would be more likely to use the golden shade than the black one. 

AVEDA Intensive Hydrating Masque (RRP $79.95 AUD for 150ml) Sample size

I’ve had this sample before and I think I liked it. I do remember liking that it was a clear mask treatment so that my partner and daughter didn’t tease me for wearing it around the house. I wished the sample was a bit larger so you could give it a decent try.

ARDELL Self-adhesive fake eyelashes (RRP $9.99 for one pair) Full size product

I am not that into fake eyelashes, and whenever I try them after getting them in a subscription box I can never get them on properly. Maybe I will have better luck with these ones because there is no need to add glue to them since they are self-adhesive. I will have to check at a tutorial on you tube, so fingers crossed that I might be successful this time.

DESIGNER BRANDS Nail Polish (RRP $6.99 AUD for 12ml) Full size product

My nail polish is a silver glitter one which I quite like, except I just brought a silver glitter nail polish a month ago ha ha. Oh well I guess I will probably pass this on since it takes me a very long time to get through a bottle of nail polish.

VERDICT

For me this month was a bit disappointing mainly due to my taste in products, which is a shame since the July box had 4 full size products and normally I would probably be very excited with that prospect. The full sized products only were worth $70.93 so for the $19.95 it is great value. However I’m just not that into eye shadows, hair styling products, or fake eyelashes and I already had a nail polish that exact colour.  I am sure other people would be thrilled with this month’s selection but it was a miss for me. I do like the makeup bag this month; it was a hot pink mesh bag which I think I will be using a lot (much better than last month’s make up bag). 

Next month is Lust Have It’s birthday box so hopefully it will be a great box. I think after the August box I will probably unsubscribe from Lust Have It for a little while, since I have not been impressed with the boxes for June or July.
