May Lip Factory Review

I received my May Lip Factory in June after emailing them late May wondering why I hadn't received my tracking number. I think they forgot mine! Oops! They were quick to respond to my email and immediately sent me a tracking number. Now I just to wait, it's the hardest part I think!

I just adore the product cards that Lip Factory have. The April one said "Welcomes Spring" and the May says "Spring has Sprung". This time I knew we had a gorgeous Teeeze product awaiting me.

Medusa's Makeup: Eyeshadow ($8)

Conclusion

The NCLA Nail Wraps look pretty cool! They came a little bent in the box, so I hope that doesn't effect them. I haven't tried them yet, as I have my nails all pretty from another subscription boxes products, but as soon as it wears off I'll be giving these a go! On the pack it says you need to apply clear gloss to your nails first, then the wraps and then another coat of clear gloss. The pack contains 26 wraps plus a nail file for application. So I'm looking forward to getting two applications from this one pack.

The Medusa's Makeup Eyeshadow is a similar colour to the Be a Bombshell Eyeshadow I received in last months box. I haven't tested the colors next to each but as long as there's a difference...hello smokey eyes! The colour I received is 'Jungle Fever'. Medusa's Makeup has been a favorite with the alternative community for a few years, so I'm glad I get to try out the product. I am very happy that it's cruelty free! I didn't read the above blurb before trying it out and found that with a sweeping motion you need to layer it to get a nice dark shade, I didn't have primer on my hand so I'm sure that will make a difference. When you have the lid open you need to be holding it in your hand to use it without it closing on you. The way they designed the hinge on the lid means that when it's on the bench and you go to apply pressure to it to get the pigment on your brush the lid closes on you! It's because the container doesn't sit flat when the lid is open. I'm unsure if I would buy this again. I'd like to try another product from their range.

The Pari Beauty Lipstick felt beautifully soft on my wrist, and after looking at the ingredient list I realised the first ingredient is caster seed oil. I received the colour 'guilty' which would indicate to me that it's going to be a deep brown-red. But it's more of a terracotta brown. Interesting how we associate different colors with words.

Pari Beauty Lipstick is made in Canada! So I'm happy to support another company that isn't made in China (sorry China!). It was beautifully soft on my lips, and although it didn't survive a meal it lasted long enough to get me through to lunch :)

Onto the MeMeMe Cosmetics: Blush Me! Boxed Blush. I received the colour 'coral'. That is certainly not a blush colour I would have ever chosen for myself, however after testing it on my wrist I was pleasantly surprised. It gave a nice subtle colour which I rather liked on the back of my hand, but it was easy to build up as well (or blend). They were right saying the brush was super soft, and it's rather cute too. The brush is also easy to hold and use. I did wonder how they were going to provide a mirror, and stop any loose powder getting all over it. They solved this problem by providing a plastic separator/brush holder. I'm sure it was mainly for shipping however I'm going to keep it as its perfect to store the brush in it, away from the blush. I would buy this again, as the blurb says "What's not to love!".

Again I didn't read the blurb before I tried the Teeeze Trendy Cosmetics: Golden Glow Lip Gloss and was a little surprised to find that it was sheer, while still having enough colour pigments though it to colour your lips. I received the color 'Desert Fire' and it's just as the name suggests, a beautiful rich shimmery red with a hint of orange in it (red lip sticks can have either a blue or orange undertones) As I have pale skin I usually go for reds with blue undertones, but I don't think there's enough orange in this to look bad. So I tried it on! It wasn't sticky at all!  And because of the shimmer I think I can still get away with it :p

I'm not sure if I would buy this particular product again. I love its texture but I'm not sold on the fact it is sheer. It's pigmented enough that you can't get away with not wearing any eye makeup, but I think it's just that little bit too sheer for a dramatic look. Over a lipstick it would be great!

I liked this month as these are all products I will use. The box has a value of US$68.25 while it cost US$32 for international shipping.

Do you receive Lip Factory? Did you get something different to me? Let me know what you think!

P.S. Sorry about the lack of images this month! My boxes have banked up on with with Uni work, so I'm rather keen to get all the reviews out.
