Lust Have It! - February 2013

So I received my first ever LustHaveIt! box today.  Normally I'm super excited to receive my beauty boxes (or any mail for that matter~ :P) but I have to say that for a first impression, the February LHI! box was incredibly underwhelming.

As I've mentioned in previous posts, I've been subscribed to bellabox for a couple of months (February post coming soon~!! ^^) and even though I wasn't quite as psyched about the second box I received from them, I was still quite happy to give the new products a try.  This first box from LHI! however... I'm pretty sure I'm not going to use at least half of the products.  I was also disappointed that it didn't come in a super pretty box this month, but having received emails from LHI! to that effect last week before the boxes were shipped, it's all good and I look forward to getting it in March :)

Anyhoo, on to the actual products~~

My February LustHaveIt! box

So from left to right, we have:

• Summer Tan by Mancine: Self Action Tan (Dark) -- while I can appreciate the sentiment of trying to maintain a summer glow throughout autumn, I have never used fake tan/ spray tan/ tanning moisturiser or any other kind of tanning product before in my life =/ And given that my skin (unfortunately T^T) tans really easily on it's own, I don't really have any need for it.  Maybe I'll give it to a friend or something~ ^^ I'm also a bit of a klutz so I have a feeling that if I tried to use it it'd end up looking really patchy~ XP

• Lon Vitalite: C9 Crystal Moisturising Hand Mask -- I don't really have all that much to say about this product other than it's not something that I would normally consider using but since I have it, I might as well give it a go~ :) that's the whole point of the beauty boxes, right? ^^  Who knows, if they work well, I may be well on my way to having super smooth baby bum hands~ :P (not creepy AT ALL... >.>)

Timeless Lipstick (Eternity) and Camouflage Colour Nail Lacquer (Brown Plum)

• Styli-Style: L3 Timeless Lipstick (Eternity) -- I am really more of a lipgloss person as I often find that lipstick makes my lips stand out a bit too much, but I was actually really looking forward to trying the lipstick in this month's LHI! as I saw from some other posts (on blogs and the LHI! Facebook page) that they had some really lovely shades.  Unfortunately I got the shimmery nude colour which I have a feeling will make my lips look unnaturally pale =/ Still, no harm in trying it out~ ^^;

• The Natural Source: Camouflage Colour Nail Lacquer (Brown Plum) -- The final item in my box was once again in a disappointing shade of what a fellow LH-ite (?) called the "same colour as poo"... and bad mental images aside, I don't disagree with her in the least :P  I noted that other bloggers got really lovely reds and blues but unfortunately I ended up with a rather muddy brown.  The only plus side is that it matches the nude lipstick (I wonder if that was intentional) :P I think I'll try adding some glitter on top or mixing it with some other colours, but as someone said on Facebook, if all else fails, it could be used for reindeer nails come Christmas~ :P

Overall, not a great month for LHI! in my opinion, especially given the amazing box that they sent out in January.  Unfortunately i missed out on that one (nooooooooooo~ THE BB CREAM~!!! T^T) but it did convince me to subscribe to LHI! I really hope that next month will be better~ :)

What did you get in your box this month?
