My Muse Box, who kindly sent this box for me to review, is a brand new, bimonthly beauty subscription box service. Every two months you’ll receive a hand picked selection of 5-6 of the latest trends in beauty products.
My Muse Box ships via USPS Priority Mail and took the promised two days to arrive. I am so looking forward to getting the mail tomorrow. I hope to see lots of these boxes on my porch ;).
Since this is a brand new box (I believe October was there first ever month), I’d never seen a My Muse Box review before. Right away I loved the packaging and it felt like a friend had sent me a gift in the mail.
Isn’t that little bag adorable? Just like when you go to the store and buy fancy make-up and they give you those adorable little bags to hold your goodies!
My Muse Box doesn’t do an product information card (boo), rather they have a general card that they send out in the bags. I do hope that this changes though because you know how I love my little information cards! Here’s what the October bag included:
~Hard Candy Eye Tattoo ($10): I have never heard of such a thing! These are pretty tame, but they have some super wild designs which would be fun for Halloween or a girls night out. I thought they were easy to put on and looked fun, but they wouldn’t be a daily wear thing for me anyway.
~Smashbox Lip Enhancing Mega Gloss ($10.38): I couldn’t find this on the Smashbox site anywhere so I’m wondering if it’s not a discontinued size or something? No matter (to me). It’s fabulous. The more lip gloss the better in my opinion! It’s not sticky and goes on nice and evenly.
~Hamadi Lemon Mini Hair Wash ($9): I’ve never heard of this brand before, but I am looking forward to testing it out. It’s got a minty smell and is a color protector shampoo. I only wish they would have sent the conditioner too. I feel like all shampoos need to be tried with their matching conditioner. Is that weird??
~Beauty Sponge ($10): The texture on this is a tad different than on a Beauty Blender, but from what I can tell, they work just about the same! If you have never tried a beauty blender type sponge, I highly recommend it. I don’t use mine daily, but I do use it for special occasions!
~MD Formulations Face & Body Scrub, MD Formulations Critical Care & Prada Reviving Bio-Firm Concentrate / Face Samples: I didn’t assign values to these because we were already well over the price of the box. I am really hoping that I don’t love the Prada though because I don’t know if it’s still available anywhere ;(. I am pretty much obsessed with this packaging though! So cute!
All totaled I came up with a value of $39.38 (+ the value of the samples) for the October My Muse Box! Not too bad considering that the box itself only costs $29.99! And I really do like the every other month idea. Sometimes you just don’t need that much new stuff every month.

12/18 Update: My Muse Box has yet to send the winner the prize and I am not having any luck contacting them via e-mail / Facebook.
