Lust Have It September 2016

Morning lovelies!

Long time no speak!  Life seems to be flying by atm, and whilst i take photos and plan to blog, i never seem to find the time to actually get a post done.  Plus I'm using my tablet for posts atm, and i find it a PITA.

But, i have my sept lhi box in my hot little hands, and i thought I'd start getting back in to the groove!
I'm really getting to the point where I'd be happy to see a packaging change again.  I'm a bit sick of the mesh (something like ipsy would be nice, a different pattern each month).
Modelco double sided face wipes-$7.99-full sized

This is my mystery item for the month.  I've been fairly lucky in my mystery products, they tend to be things I'll use.  I don't go through a whole heap of wipes like this, but i don't have any at all at the moment, so these are welcome.
Simple kind to eyes make up  correction pen-$25-full size

I'm a bit disappointed to see this.  Last time i tried simple skincare i had a pretty serious and sudden allergic reaction to the brand (my face ended up covered in a tiny red, itchy rash).  I think it's a brilliant idea for a product, and i might do a test somewhere inconspicuous, but it's going no where near my eyes until that comes back clear.
Face of Australia lip quench lipstick-$9.45-full size

Now this is a product i can get fully behind!  Mine's in the colour lychee crush, which is an apricoty pink.  It smells lovely (like vanilla), and has jojoba oil, vit e and shea butter.  I can't imagine it being a particularly long lasting lipstick, but it should be moisurising.
OFRA universal eyebrow pencil-$17-full size

I must admit, when i first saw this i thought 'not another eyeliner'. I'm a bit eyelinered out (and if lhi aren't careful I'll be eyebrow penciled out too).  This is supposed to be a universal shade, honestly i can't see how.  It's quite dark.  Perfect for me, but i can't see it suiting the blondes in my life.  Swatching it, though, it didn't drag, and went on smoothly, so it seems like a decent product.
Mprincess mineral powder foundation-$5.25-sample size

The info card has this all stuffed up.  They have it as full sized worth $15 (full sized is actually worth $35), when in fact it's a sample size.  It's in the colour cream, which is really light.  I think I'll be able to get away with it, or it could be used as a mixer with a darker shade, but the sample is small.  It's going to be a pita to use, you just can't get a decent sized brush in to the container.  I'll figure it out though.
Foa lipstick, ofra eyebrow, mprincess powder
Overall the bag is worth $64.69, so well worth the initial cost.  And I'll end up using the majority of the products.

Now lovelies, it's over to you.  What do you think?
