Lust have It January 2017 Unboxing and Review

Hi everyone!

Here's my January Lust Have It unboxing for 2017.







Information card 



(Last video I mentioned my lack of working camera other than my webcam - so sorry for quality of these images, lol.)





The Items

Your Tea Her Tea + Marsk Eyeliner in Snowflake || Burt's Bees Lipstick + OPI in Shattered Super Bass

OFRA Eyeshadow/Highlighting Powder in Bohemian + Unani Dermo Defense Face Mask || The Bag


I appreciate the ease of flatlays a lot more after this post.

I assume that most people come to my blog to avoid my face, but this time was impossible. Sorry. :P




Swatches

Those nice swatches I did during the video smudged not 5 minutes later while I was taking these photos.



I'm not sure what they smudged on, but surprisingly this hasn't happened before. Not looking too good for either of these products.



Fresh swatches. It is really hard to capture the true colour of the Burt's Bees Lipstick, so I spent some time on the MS paint colour picker, and here is the colour I think it's closest to when swatched.

Overall

A very meh box.

Sure, the items "exceeded" the amount I paid for it in value ($22 vs $90.50.)
And I'm also really happy to see LustHaveIt fixing that mistake from last month where they forgot the Her Tea. That was great of them to include, (although I'm wondering if I would have gotten the extra Tea if I didn't remain subbed?)

But... They keep repeating the same brands over and over. Unani, Marsk, Ofra, Your Tea - we're all sick of seeing the same brands over and over again. At least, I am. These brands are grossly overvalued for what I believe is drugstore/pharmacy quality cosmetics. 

There's no longer a real discovery aspect to these bags and thus my decision to not subscribe to Lust Have It anymore. For sheer value, Marie Claire The Parcel is a better choice for Australians.

Thanks for reading!

This is obviously not one of my best posts, but hey! I improvised. :P

Hope you guys enjoyed despite the shoddy camera xx

And to my fellow Aussies - hope you're remembering to wear sunscreen and a hat :) Stay hydrated!

With lots of love,
