Today I finally received my February Lust Have It, and was not at all surprised by the contents - as I have already seen practically ever other beauty blogger's post about it! (No thanks to Australia Post's slow delivery in my area!)
I was extremely sad to see that they did not include the decorative box this month, because of "weight restrictions" which I believe is completely untrue. My box was very lightweight, but I did notice that the big full sized tanning product didn't fit in last month's box. This is why I think the box wasn't included, to be honest.
Lust Have It also mentioned across their social media platforms that some boxes were missing a product, also due to the shipping restrictions. Uh huh.

Summer Tan by Mancine in Dark
I'm always happy for a full sized product, but sadly for me, I won't use this, as I do not tan at all. I love my white skin, so this has been gifted to my sister, as she is a tanning nut! The packaging looks really cute, though, so if I was too tan, I'd probably give this a go! (Well, if I got a lighter shade maybe.)
Camouflage Colour Nail Polish in Brick
I've already read a lot of complaints about this colour, and yes, it's not for everyone, so I can see where they are coming from. I do love the packaging, though, and I'm sure I could use this colour for nail art sometime in the future? I'm slightly disappointed that I didn't get some of the other gorgeous colours - I've seen a beautiful metallic green that made my eyes envy with the same colour!

Styli-Style L3 Timeless Lipstick
This box isn't all bad! I'm always happy to get make-up, because if it's not something I like, I won't feel bad passing it on to somebody else! The colour is very rich and dark, and will be a perfect addition to my winter accessories!

Lon Vitalite Crystal Moisturising Hand Mask
After reading more than a few reviews on this box, and seeing people being upset about this - yet happy they didn't receive the whitening mask, has made me realise how judgmental I have become of the products. The whitening hand mask doesn't make your hands white overnight, it's something that is going to take forever. Using it once won't change your hand colour, and I should know as I've reviewed it here. This is actually a lovely and welcome product to receive.

Kerastase Paris Nectar Thermique - Missing Product
This saddened me, as this is certainly something I would try. No sachet means it would probably last me a few uses, so it would be a lovely addition.

All in all, I was a bit disappointed in this box. Sure, some of the things were lovely, but then I turn around and look at some of the other boxes (particularly this one from the lovely Kat) and can't help but feel jealous. The very presence of Lancome cannot even compare to receiving a full sized lipstick from a brand I've never heard, so I can't help but feel I've been cheated by the subscription boxes yet again.
What did you think of this box? Do you think the lack of the box & extra product was really due to shipping restrictions, or just due to the fact they couldn't fit the tanning product in the box? Do you think I have a case of wanting what I can't have, or do you think I have a right to be genuinely disenchanted by this box, especially in comparison to Kat's?
