On Saturday the 26th of April I received a parcel. To say I was surprised was an understatement. Mail on a Saturday? The only reason I can think of, is because Friday was Anzac day, and hence a public holiday. The following link is an image from one of my favourite fashion photographers, Matthew Wren, taken inside the Shrine of Remembrance after the Anzac day ceremony. Due to copyright laws, I cannot post the image here, but I can link to it :)
Onto the box!
This was my first Lip Factory box, so I was excited. I couldn't wait to rip it open (gently :P) and show you all what's inside. It came in this black box in the mail which clearly showed it was from Lip Factory, and once I had opened it it had the usual tissue paper with the cute sticker. Under that was the information card! It was actually quite cute. I didn't bother to look much at the card at this stage, I went on to look at the products. We have 6 full sized products.

Conclusion:
I'm not sure if the OFRA is the right shade for me. I will play around with it a tad more to find out though.(I used a brush, and tried it on without any other makeup hahaha)
It is fairly long wearing, so it is something I would consider buying, just maybe not in this shade :)
The NYX Butter Gloss is not a sheer-medium coverage unless you dab a tiny bit on and rub your lips to spread it. It is however a nice colour for my pale complexion and blonde hair. It isn't sticky, and it does smell nice. But it doesn't doesn't taste as nice as they say it does. It just tastes like a waxy lipgloss to me. This is something I would possibly buy.
Be a Bombshell Eyeshadow. I really like the colour. I think it is highly pigmented. I applied the tester with my finger, and it was easy to apply, very smooth. I'm looking forward to putting a look together with this product! Definitely one I would buy if it stays in place all day.
Be a Bombshell Eye Crayon. Again I really like the colour. It was easy to apply, I'm not sure if it will stay where I want it to all day without smudging, but there's one way to find out! I'm not sure if I would buy this as the application could possibly be a bit messy.
Jesse's Girl Kohl Eyeliner. I really like the idea of the cap with the built in sharpener, however I haven't used a kohl pencil eyeliner in a long time. I much prefer a gel or a twist pencil. I just find that no matter the brand, kohl always smudges. So this is not a product I will be using.
Colour Club Nail Polish. I didn't like the colour. If I wanted a natural look, I would stick with the French manicure, or a pale pink. However it looks better on my pale skin than it does on my mothers slightly more olive skin, where it just blends in too much. I really was hoping to get the turquoise that others were getting this month. Oh well! You win some, you lose some! My swatch was after two coats, but could be worn with one coat. The tips started to wear off after a day without a clear topcoat, but maybe that's because my ails are so long? I wouldn't buy this, as I love my OPI.
Overall I'm impressed by Lip Factory, especially all full sized products. I cant wait to receive my next box in the post. I received US$55.99 worth of products for US$32
