A few of my boxes actually did arrive as scheduled this week and one of those was the box I got to review from Lip Factory! In case you aren’t familiar, Lip Factory Inc is an exclusive, affordable, makeup subscription service. Most months, you’ll receive a mixture of cosmetics, but The November Lip Factory, Inc. box was the highly anticipated “All About the Lips” box, which they do once every four months.
Lip Factory ships USPS First Class Mail and took about 3 days to arrive. I got my tracking a few days before it actually shipped I think, but once it started moving it moved quickly.
Lip Factory ships a box in a box. I’m not sure I understand the box in a box system, but it seems to work for them.
I hadn’t seen any spoilers for the November box yet so I was totally spoiler-free for this one. I’m not much of a lipstick wearer (I do love me some lip gloss though), but my sister-in-law is so I was very excited to see all those lipsticks.
As I mentioned, the November Lip Factory box was the “All About the Lips” Box. The last all about the lips box should have been in July, however, they did an Anniversary box instead, so it’s been ages since we got one! Here is what it included:
~Designer Skin – Fall Lip Shimmer (Pinch Me Pink) ($7.30): I have received this brand before and while it’s not a super fancy brand, I love it. It’s not overly sticky and the applicator works perfectly.
~MODELCo – Lip Couture Lipstick (Luella) ($17): I’ve loved all the other things I have tried from MODELCo. and this lipstick is supposed to give you color that is super smooth, soft and super-hydrating. I think my SIL is going to go crazy for this color!
~Medusa’s Makeup – Lipstick (Baroque) ($12): How pretty is this packaging? Seriously. It’s gorgeous. I have never heard of this brand before, but if their lipstick is half as amazing as that lipstick lid, I bet they will do just fine.
~Retractable Lip Brush ($3.88): I SO should have read the information card before I tried to get thing figured out on my own. I’m twisting it, shaking it, nothing. I knew there was a brush inside, but I couldn’t get to it! Ahhhh! It was as simple and putting the cap into the bottom after opening. Figures ;).
~Palladio Herbal Lipstick ($6): I didn’t want to test these on my hand or anything because I am passing them on to my SIL, however I felt like all the colors were totally wearable. Hopefully you can tell by the pictures, but I didn’t think anything was too dark, or too bright or anything like that.
~Medusa’s Lip Gloss (Rumors) ($8): I looked at this and was like no way. Where would I wear this? But I put it on and was excited that it is more of a sheer violet iridescent than a thick gloss purple gloss. And it tastes like grape which makes it even more fun!
All totaled I came up with a value of $54.88 for the November Lip Factory Beauty Kit! The box is only $22/month ($26/month if you are in Canada), and as usual, is amazing value. The value of Lip Factory is usually double, if not triple what you pay! No clue how they do it, but I love it (and so does my SIL).
Do you subscribe to Lip Factory, Inc.? What’d you think of the November box? Do you wish they did the All About the Lips boxes more frequently? If you don’t subscribe and want to get in on next month’s box or just want to learn more, click here.
I can’t wait for my box to arrive! I’m an international subscriber so it should take longer 🙁 But I lacked patience and googled spoilers haha. The Medusa’s Makeup lipstick has the most amazing packaging! Can’t wait to pull it out of my bag in public!

It’s so pretty!!!
I LOVED the Medusas purple gloss that I got in my LF box, but the medusas lipstick that I received was purple too. NO WAY. It makes me look dead. In fact I think it’s called undead or something like that. I will be buying more purple gloss though and try some other colors too!!
I am cracking up at your description of the lipstick. I cannot image where I would wear purple lipstick. But the purple gloss? That was surprisingly amazing.
Out of all the sub boxes…this is the one I wish I had money for. Not that I need to add to my 100+ lipstick bag I CARRY WITH ME…insane I know…but I love lipstick almost as much as I love nail polish. I’ve been wanting to try Medusa lipstick! I hope you keep a couple to try!
I always just feel bad to open a lipstick and use it once or twice. I feel like I am wasting it.
I need to see pictures of your collection! Have you ever posted them on your blog?
I have! I recently did a “what’s in my bag” post…you can see at least a little of the contents of the lipstick bag near the end of the post 🙂 http://www.thatgaljenna.com/2013/11/random-wednesday-whats-in-my-bag-so-much.html
OMG that is a lot of lip product! How can you ever decide what to wear??
It’s all based on what mood I’m in or what colors I’m wearing. 🙂 I like lots of options haha. Sometimes I want a gloss…sometime a crayon…or just a regular old lipstick tube. I’m obviously very fickle!
Nice!! This has been one of my favorite boxes!! I also had a hard time with the lip brush! lol I felt so dumb after reading the instructions!!! Too funny! Lip factory has become one of my favorite subscriptions for sure! Are you still subscribed? Next month (this month) is an all lip box again!! I’m excited for that!!
I get boxes from them to review and my March one just shipped!!
Ohhh!!! I hope mine gets shipped soon!! 🙂
