Lust Have It! are one of the last sample boxes standing after the great sample box war of 2014-2015. The quality of the samples in these bags have been pretty awesome lately, which I think might be partly due to the desaturation of the sample box market. Here’s what I got:

Lust Have It! June 2016

• Edgy Tempting Cosmetics Eyeliner Pen
• Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Wipes
• Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub
• Sasy n Savy Revive Bath and Shower Gel
• Paula’s Choice Intensive Wrinkle Repair Retinol Serum (Mystery Item)

I couldn’t be more pleased with my mystery item – it’s a retinol serum from Paula’s Choice, which comes in a mini pump bottle that’s as sturdy as the real thing. The shower gel smells amazing, abd the makeup removing wipes will come in handy for my next holiday. Unfortunately the scrub contains plastic microbeads which are harmful for the environment, so I’m not too keen on using it. I can’t use liquid eyeliner with my weird foldy eyelids so I doubt I’ll end up using it.

Coral Colour Love Lips
Garnier Miracle Day Cream
ulta3 Cream Blush Stick
Skin Magic Tea
Carefree Ultra Thins Regular

I’m super sceptical about detox teas. Try asking any of the companies which toxins they get rid of, or how they get rid of them, or whether they’ve done any blood tests on people who’ve had the tea to check for toxins, and you’ll get shifty answers.

The rest of the pack is pretty good though! I love the lip chubbie – it’s a nice opaque nude lip colour. The concealer is great as well, and the right shade. I haven’t gotten around to trying the other products, but I’ll get some use out of all of them. Overall, this is one of my favourite boxes this year.
