DECEMBER LIP MONTHLY | UNBOXING & REVIEW

Hello Beauties! Today on the blog is a very late to arrive lipmonthly unboxing. This bag arrived on my doorstep on the 5/01/15, keep in mind this is a American subscription box, but still it arrived in January so i am not 100% happy with that considering the payment is taken out at the start of each month. Speaking of costs it retails for $10USD and converts to $17.34AUD. Not bad considering you revieve between 4-5 items a month. I will link my previous lipmonthly post at the end so you can compare the products and see if you think it is worth the money. 

This month we received 4 items all lip products which is exciting, retailing at $25.98, not the best value but still is above the value of the box. One of the perks for us Aussies is that when you subscribe to a American subscription you are receiving American brands that are not easy accessible to us, so although the value in my opinion is not the greatest i am thrilled to experiment with some brands that i have never heard of or tried.  

Just a quick review on the products - 

Magnolia Liquid Lipstick - 
This product has an unusual consistency, when i think of liquid lipstick i think of Lime Crime, Rimmel and a couple more brands. This product is not bad, but the pigmentation does not seem to be consistent. I find its a little patchy and does not dry to a matte finish, which doesn't bother me but i feel with a liquid lipstick that is runny and being a red, you really need it to be a matte finish otherwise you are going to up with a hot mess on your face! Certainly not worth $15.00.

Milani Lipgloss-
This gloss is actually really nice! I am very particular with my glosses, i particularly like the NYX Butter Glosses and the ELF Hypershine, you know something that has a little stick but not to much. This gloss is just like that, it has a nice amount of pigmentation and not to much stick and it seems to last a decent amount of time. I would love to try more of the colours!

LA Girl Lipliner- 
I have always had pretty good luck with retractable lip liners, i find they do not dry out to fast on me and they usually have nice pigmentation, this one is a decent lip liner, nice colour and good pigmentation. There's really not a lot to say about a lip liner! I like it and i will use it!

NYC Lipstick - 
I really am not a fan of this colour, i know it seems to be the 'in' colour right now, but on me it is so unflattering. For those who are fortunate enough to be able to pull it off, the consistency is really nice, unfortunately i dislike the colour! 

What do you think? Do you think this box is worth it? I think it is just for the fact that you are trying products and brands you usually cannot get your hands on.
