Yay! Another box of eco goodies to play with. Loving the Lust Have It! Eco boxes right now. Let's have a look at what I got to play with!
1) McArthur Complete Skincare Cream RRP $54.95 for 250ml. Sample size: 250ml.
I saw this stuff advertised on a news program a few months ago where people were using this cream for conditions such as chronic wounds, cellulitis and arthritis with great results and relief for their conditions. It has 60% paw paw extract which is full of things skin love like vitamins & antioxidants. I gotta admit, I am not a huge fan of this cream. I don't like the smell and even though it is quite rich and nourishing there are much nicer smelling products out there that moisturise just as well. If I had an ailment like a wound or arthritis pain I guess I would try it for that but I don't, I would only use it as a moisturiser which I probably wont. I rate this product a 2/5 based on the use of a general moisturiser.
2) Alfaparf Milano Precious Oil Tradition Sample pack:
- Absolute Oil RRP $39 for 100ml. Sample size: 13ml
- Anti-Frizz Oil Shampoo RRP $26 for 250ml. Sample size: 10ml
- Anti-Frizz Oil Mask RRP $30 for 200gm. Sample size: 10ml
A new range with prickly pear oil and pequi oil to help frizzy manes. The sample sizes were only just enough for one try for me as I have very long & thick hair. I didn't think too much of them while I was using them but when I straightened my hair I did find it was less frizzy then usual so they live up to their name. I rate these products a 4/5.
3) Pretty Serious Nail Polish RRP $9.95 for 11ml. Sample size: 11ml
An Australian made brand, 100% vegan and highly pigmented. I got the TUX shade which is a pretty dark blue which looks more like a dark grey when applied with a hint of shimmer. Pretty decent price as well. I rate this product a 4/5.
4) Wotnot Facial Wipes RRP $15 for 25wipes. Sample size: 25 wipes
This product won the best facial wipes award from beautyhaven.com for being the only facial wipes with completely natural ingredients. I did really like these wipes, I find facial wipes always tend to be a bit stingy but these wipes were very gentle. I like having wipes on hand for cleaning off my make-up after a long night out when I'm too tired (or drunk) to cleanse properly. They are fairly reasonably priced as well. I rate this product a 4/5.
5) Elf Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadow RRP $5.99 each. Sample size: 1
I was very surprised by this product. I received the Natural shade which is a gorgeous copper colour. The shadow is very highly pigmented and are beautiful to wear. I was even more surprised by the price which is a bargain for such a great product. I want all the colours! I rate this product a 5/5.
* I had a little look over at their website and wow they have some awesome looking products at crazy cheap prices! I am going to buy a whole bunch of stuff to try, at those prices why not!
6) Savi Body Cream RRP $49.95 for 220ml. Sample size: 20ml
Certified organic luxury body cream. I really liked this cream, it feels very deluxe and has a beautiful scent which reminds me of a day spa I went to in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. My skin felt very smooth after using it and it is absorbed super quick with no oily residue. Divine! I rate this product a 5/5.
Overall I am very happy with this season's Lust Have It! Eco box. My favourite product would be a tie between the Elf eye-shadow & the Savi body cream, 2 products I will definitely buy in the future. The total value of the samples came to $98.05 which is great value. The Lust Have It! Eco boxes are $29.95 and are delivered per quarter.
I received the same but different colours!
ReplyDeleteDarn, I wish my elf shadow was a bit more wearable. As for the McArthur cream, I agree.. the scent is extremely herbal, I've been looking for something to treat my patches of dry skin and amazingly this worked. But otherwise I find it hard to use the product.

I got the exact same box - but again different colours in the eye shadow and nail polish - got a lovely red Seasonal Sunset nail polish and my eyeshadow was a pale silver Angelic (I always seem to get the pale eyeshadows!) I love the herbal aroma of the McArthur cream, but I'm into natural products so I'm used to the natural aromas rather than heavily fragranced products.
ReplyDeleteI estimated mine to be worth $91. Difference being an error on the card as the WotNot Wipes are $7.95 RRP and not $15 as stated - but it's good to hear you think 'they are fairly reasonable priced' at $15! I love the WotNot wipes and buy them in bulk as myself and 2 daughters aged 16 and 20 use them.
Loved this Eco-box - only my second one, but extremely impressed with the products and value too.
