Lip Monthly
Cost: $10/month
Ships To: United States (Free). International (Shipping is Additional).
Lip Monthly, who kindly sent me this box to review, is a brand new subscription box which offers a curated box of lip products shipped directly to your door every month.
Lip Monthly ships via USPS and didn’t take long at all to arrive to me.
I thought the packaging on this was adorable and very well done. The May 2014 was their first every box, so I was impressed by the cute packaging and fun little box.
In addition to the two products which were too big for the box, there were three other items inside the box. Considering that the box is $10, I was pretty impressed.
The May 2014 Lip Monthly box doesn’t have a theme, but included the following items which are from both big name and smaller niche brands:
~Glam Natural Poco Loco Lip Gloss ($20):Poco Loco is actually a coral color (I know it looks more pink here) and is very pretty. It stays on for a while and I thought a little went a long way.
~Stila Glaze Lip Liner (Fuchsia) ($5.85): I think this may be discontinued because I cannot find it anywhere but ebay. The color is a bit much for me, but hopefully it works better for a friend. If not, I will trade it.
~Hard Candy Lip Tattoo Lip Gloss ($3.85): I used to love hard candy products but haven’t gotten any in ages. I’m not even sure they still sell this, but I love the color of the gloss and the clear breathe freshening gloss is pretty cool too.
~Ultrafresh Panthera Mini Mascara ($4.50): I am not familiar with this brand at all, but I read that it used to be sold at Sephora a while back? I can always use a mini mascara for my bag and I like that they do a “Mix Up” item each month which is not a lip product.
~Bonus Item: Lipology Wet Color Lip Gloss ($6): This is not on the information card, but I am guessing that it’s the bonus item you would get if you do a video review. It says on the information card that if you do a YouTube review to e-mail the link to Lip Monthly and they will include a bonus item in your next box!
All totaled I came up with a value of $40.20 for the May 2014 Lip Monthly box! Had I not included the bonus item, it would have still had a value of $34.20. I am very impressed by the high value of the months, but hope that future months don’t offer quite as many hard to find or discontinued products because I don’t want to fall in love with something I can’t get anymore!
