☻☻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!

♥Ipsy October Bag Unboxing 2014♥


Ipsy is a monthly subscription box for Beauty and Makeup products. When you sign up for Ipsy you do a little quiz that helps Ipsy chose the products to send you.

I was not given this box. All opinions are my own. Based off my preferences! :D
Cost: $10 per month
They ship to the U.S. and Canada only

This is my first Ipsy bag.

This bag is called Beauty Candy (Candy for Halloween maybe?). It says to share a pic of your October Glam Bag and tag @ipsy in it. Also, to hashtag #ipsy and #beautycandy for a chance to win a 1-year subscription to even more glam bag goodies to satisfy your craving!

My Promises! I was not compensated in any way for the products in the video above. It will always be my honest opinion about the products. If I am ever compensated for products, I will let you know.

The first item below is a Doll 10 H2go Highlighter in the color "Champagne" This product isn't available for purchase yet. Their CC powder is $30 and their concealer is $28.50 so I'm just going to say this is $28. It is super creamy (so much so that it feels almost like a potted gloss!) It is just a highlighter and very sheer. It leaves a little shimmer behind.




The next item is this hand cream from Figs & Rouge in the scent "Mango Mandarin" 20ml $6.56. The scent is overwhelmingly mango and WONDERFUL. I'm in love with this. It isn't the least bit oily and soaks into the hands immediately.




The third item is a Indie Lee Brightening cleanser 0.5oz $6?? I'm excited about this and it smells like fruit punch to me! Full size is 4oz for $32!





The next item is the only one in the bag that I wasn't happy to see. I wish there was ONE item we could not receive in a bag. Mine would be lip gloss. Lip products are my favorites but I can't stand a lip gloss so this will go to my cousin. Starlooks Lip Gloss in "Guilty Pleasure." $4?? (Full size is $12)





Below are before and after swatches of this lip gloss! On top are my lips with no product and below is this Guilty Pleasure lip gloss.




Finally, the last item in my bag is this Skone Cosmetics Tattooed Waterproof Eyeliner- $15 FULL SIZE!

Here are swatches of the lotion, highlighter, lip gloss, and eye liner. The lotion immediately sank in and the highlight only has the faintest of shimmers to it. The lip gloss is on the right and the eye liner is on the left. I'm REALLY excited about this eyeliner for Halloween! I've never used anything but pencils and I'm glad I got this to try before I went out and purchased one full price.




 Honestly, I'm THRILLED with this bag. I adore the bag itself (almost worth the $10 for me) and four out of five of the items I will use and enjoy (hopefully.) With the exception of the lip gloss. This bag is a WIN.



Bag Price: $10

Bag Total: $59.56
Savings: $49.56! (Of course this is questionable since almost all the products aren't for sale anywhere or they are deluxe samples which have to be calculated.
