RIGHT NOW GET YOUR FIRST BOX FOR 6.99 USING THE CODE SUMMERLIPS !
Lip Monthly and I have a love-hate relationship. I've been super disappointed over the last 2 boxes (this one and the last months box). In the end I've canceled both of my subscriptions to them but I'll tell you more about that one at the end of this post. Let's get into the items they've sent us this month.
I'm going to shorten this up and combine all the boxes items together or I'd be sitting here typing FOREVAH, ain't nobody got time fo dat!
Appeal Cosmetics Lipstick in Red Light District x2 - $22 retail value
This is a really nice, smooth and creamy red lipstick. It wears really well and is super pigmented. One of these will be going in that giveaway I talked about above.
John Frieda Frizz-Ease Straight Fixation travel size x2 - no retail value given
I love JF products and I love to flat iron my hair so this will get used up very quickly.
City Color Cosmetics Lip Balm in Light Pink x1 - $2.99
This is a nice SUPER pigmented lip balm. It's nice and smooth also. Only problem I had is that they didn't send me it in my second box.
Stila Lip Glaze in Orange x1 - no retail value (discontinued product)
At first glance I was HORRIFIED at this. The packaging shows it's a Halloween orange. I just knew I would be using this at all! Once I swatched it though it does not come out orange at all, it comes out a pinky-coral color and I will def be using it. It's not good that LM is again sending out discontinued products. What if I wanted to purchase this because I loved it that much and couldn't live without it?? It's been known to happen ladies, don't even front :)
City Color Cosmetics Lip Balm in Plum and Charm x2- retail value $2.99
Both of these are jumbo - full sized lip crayons and are pretty nice for such a cheap price. The colors seem a bit backwards to me though.. the red is called Plum and the brownish shade is called Charm.
Revlon Color Burst Lip Gloss in Sunbaked - retail value $6.99
Simple drugstore lipgloss, kind of sticky but wears well. This is only ok for me, I could go to any drugstore and pick this up. It's a pinky-brown color and should be pretty nice for summer and early fall.
Over all I am not impressed. For $10 I get much better stuff from Ipsy. Either way it is what it is. The reason I ended up canceling is because when I contacted customer service "Rachel" in my opinion was quite rude. Not only that but it took them several days to respond to my first email, then when I sent off another email explaining that it's not that the just subbed a different product for the second box but that I was actually MISSING a product, it took several MORE days before she responded telling me they'd send out a replacement product. Who wants to hedge bets that never happens?
I've got tons more boxes I need to do posts on though so I'm going to finish this up by strongly saying I DO NOT recommend Lip Monthly and would not to any of my friends or any of you readers. I included a coupon above if you still want to try it out though.
Goodnight Loves!
