☻☻October Lip Monthly Unboxing 2014 + September REVIEW☻☻



Lip Monthly is a monthly subscription box for LIP products (plus one non-lip item.) Every month, they will send out a new set of lip products. Sometimes the lip boxes have different colors but usually they are all the same brand.

I was not given this box. All opinions are my own. Based off my preferences! :D
Cost: $10 per month
You can use the coupon code FALL5 and get your first box for only $5
They ship to the U.S., Canada, and Internationally

This is my fourth Lip Monthly Box.

If you do a video review of the box and send them a link to to the public video you get 25 points! You must log into your Lip Monthly account to upload the link to get the points.
They used to throw in an extra item if you had done a video review.

If someone uses your referral link  you get your first bag free and 50 points for any additional referrals.


This is the new bag! I love it. I hope they switch the bags up like Ipsy does.

Below is the card that comes with the items. There are no prices on this card (Lip Monthly has included them in the past) So, the prices listed are ones that I found on the websites (unless posted otherwise with each product.)



Here is a before

 And an after
 I think it looks good with the BIG smokey looking eyes.
 Here is a swatch of this color on my hand. Ha ha. So different. It is creamy and feels nice! Not too greasy or anything.

Just a brown sugar lip scrub VERY oily. I could have made this myself but.. maybe it was made with coconut oil or something. Ha ha.

This lip balm was bizarre! It is extremely greasy and had a VERY strong tingle.

This bag came with a Noyah coupon! 20% off your purchase of lipstick, lip gloss, and lip balms when you use the code "Lipmonthly" at checkout. This code didn't work for me when I tried to use it. I put the code into checkout and clicked apply and it said it was applied but nothing was taken off my total. So, I'm not sure about that...

It has as a nice feel and gives me a slightly darker hue. I like it.
Below is a before and after on my lips!

 It didn't make me look paler lol the lighting just changed.. I like it.

 Here is the swatch on my hand.


I haven't tried this yet. I might try it once then pass it on. I already have two! I really don't need three but if it's better than my other pencil one I might.


The swatch on my hand.. lol sorry it's blurry. I'm tired from school work and editing. It's black folks.. it is creamy and feels nice.



Total spent for the bag: $10
Total bag is worth: $28.93
Total saved: $18.93

That is a win! Thank you so much for following along. Here is the video unboxing of this bag!

☻☻August Lip Monthly Unboxing☻☻

So, I finally got my August Lip Monthly Box (slash...bag lol) This is the second one I've received. I love both of them so far.

Lip Monthly is a subscription box service. You pay $10 a month for 2-3 full sized lip products and 2-3 sample products.

As of August 2014 if you use the code Summerlips you'll get your first Lip Monthly box for only $6.99!

One of the product each month will be a non-lip product. This monthly mix up item is the only one in the bag that isn't a lip product!

Being me... and I am... I'm OBSESSED with lip products. I don't buy anything ELSE I swear. Well I have one brow kit, one blush, one concealer, a bag of nail polish (mostly gifts), a bag of eye shadows and .........a DRAWER full of lip products and a DRAWER full of skin products. So that is where I stand on the beauty front... lol


Pixi by Petra Lid Last Shadow Pen in the color "Gentle Gold" is $18USD
I love eyeshadow pens and my favorite color to buy it gold so this is the perfect extra item for me!



Jesse's Girl Liquid Glass Gloss is $4.99USD mine is in the color Lickity Split. I don't think I'll ever use this because not only is it a gloss which I'm not a fan of but it has THICK glitter in it. It feels scratchy on my lips. I'll be passing this along to a friends daughter as her first lip product.



On top is a control of my lips without any product and below it is the Jesse's Girl Gloss

City Color Be Matte Lipstick is $3.99USD mine is in the color "Phoebe." This is a matte lipstick and it is very pigmented. I prefer the matte look on my lips so this is something I was excited to get in my bag. This comes in 36 shades! It says it won't ever dry out but being a matte lipstick it feels dry as soon as you put it on. I find them to be kind of rough to put on as well. This isn't something you can put on without a mirror. I still think this will be my favorite out of the bag though.

City Color Magic Balm (this one hasn't been released to the public yet) Ironically I just bought a PH lip balm the day before this bag arrived. So, now I have two PH lip balms (this one and one from sephora) if you'd like to read about that PH lip balm the link is here. This one I have to say though is better. I like the smell of the other one but the lack of smell in this one is infinitely better. This is crushed a little bit (my bad) lol I closed it on itself. So this did look like a lipstick.. shape before I mangled it. I think this one is softer than the other one as well. I adore it, so far.

City Color Lip Balm is $2.99USD mine is in the color "Ultra Pink" There are 16 shades and are infused with vitamin E so they are smooth and moisturizing. I already know I like this because we got the exact same product in the last Lip Monthly box (July 2014) but it was in the shade "Bright Pink" You see that here.

I'm not to bent out of shape about it, even though I prefer to chose my own shades once I try an item, because I really liked this product.

Overall, I'm really pleased with my box and I'll continue to purchase them! :D

BOX TOTAL= $29.97 (I'll add the magic balm price once it is released!)

Thank you so much for following along.
