The July Lip Factory Inc Box has finally made it all the way from the USA. The July box was Lip Factory’s birthday box edition and they definitely know how to celebrate in style. This box is brimmed to the top with all things make-up
The Lip Factory Inc Box is an American subscription beauty box which is all things make-up. Each month their box contains 5 to 7 of your favorite makeup brands. Although the kit may include a full face of makeup products, their focus is on the lips! Their products are chosen each month by their expert team of beauty specialists and makeup artists. You are required to complete a beauty profile to ensure you receive products in accordance with your preferences making it more of a personalised box.
July’s box included 8 full sized products.
1. Beauty Addicts Sweet Lips Gloss x2 – Full Size RRP £10.00 each
Beauty Addicts which is an American brand is a boutique cosmetics line with an effortless elegant approach to makeup that makes beauty simple with a color system designed around the moods and attitudes of the modern woman.
These lip glosses are high shine and hydrate the lips with Vitamin E and Jojoba butter which is the perfect combination for smooth, shiny lips. There’s a hint of vanilla contained within these glosses which is quite subtle.
I received of two generous lip glosses which came in the shades Express Ginger and Motivate Lilac.
The Express Ginger is a delicate peach colour and the Motive Lilac which isn’t lilac at all is a pretty light pink.
The formula of these glosses are not sticky but are super smooth and have a great feel on the lips.
2. Eco-Lips Tinted Lip Balm – Full Size RRP £2.70
This is a sheer tint which moisturises and contains fair trade certified ingredients such as coconut oil, argan oil, cocoa butter and aloe vera.
This lip balm is available in six shades and I received the colour plush red.
When applied this wasn’t the colour I expected instead it was more of copper and orange shade. This is quite minty and feels more like a medicated lip balm. I was quite surprised as this has a great pop of colour and can be built upon to achieve a more vibrant shade.
I’m not a fan of medicated lip balms but for the price it’s great value for money.
3. Palladio Brow Fix – Full Size RRP £3.65
Being a fan of anything to do with the eyes I was excited to see this brow fix pencil to control unruly brows who sometimes have a mind of their own!
This colourless wax pencil will set those hard to tame brows for an all day hold.
This applies matte and doesn’t give any shine when applied. You can also apply this prior to filling in your brows for a longer lasting hold.
I love this pencil it’s such a simple but effective way to achieve perfect brows.
4. Ofra Lip Liner – Full Size RRP £8.00
This lip pencil is a brand new addition to the Ofra range and came in the shade Glacier pink. It’s water resistant properties is created with a synthetic beeswax base for a smooth, soft and long lasting application.
The shade is a lovely angelic pink and I love anything which is pink in the make up world but I just don’t use lip liners which is a shame.
5. Pari Beauty Eye Shadow – Full Size RRP £6.70
Pari Beauty is a Canadian brand which is a new discovery for me.
This is a silky highly pigmented powder which came in a lovely turquoise shade. It’s vibrant shade is truly stunning and applies like a dream. This is shade takes me way out of my comfort zone and I certainly wouldn’t be able to pull this off with my pale complexion.
6. Palladio Shadow and Liner Crayon- Full Size RRP £3.65
This multi-use shadow and eye liner crayon in the shade Silver Belle offers a cooling sensation when applied and comes in various shades.
I’m not keen on the shade I received and will not make any use out of this but this does apply smoothly without tugging or dragging the skin.
7. J Cats Wonder lip Paint – Full Size RRP £3.00
For invincible color and impeccable wear, the Wonder Lip Paint has a blend of endurance and delivers intense pigmentation.
What was you thinking Lip Factory when you packed my box! I received a dark red. I am disappointed in the colour as I don’t wear dark colours and certainly did not put this as a preference on my beauty profile.
On a positive note the colour is very rich and a little drop of this really does go a long way. It’s intensity and pigmentation is really impressive and a great bargain for only £3.00.
My Verdict
Lip Factory’s Birthday edition box is pretty impressive this month mainly based on the fact that it included 8 full sized items. Unfortunately I don’t feel that they paid much attention to my beauty profile when packing this box.
There is a good variety of products and selection of different brands which have been featured in this box. I’m pleased that there is a handful of products that I will be making use out of. I love the brow fix pencil which now has a new home in my make up bag.
The contents within this box is worth £47.70 beating the cost of the box which is around £19.00
Whilst I do like Lip Factory’s concept I am moving more towards the Wantable Box which is also from the US and focuses more on what you want to see in your box. Their in depth beauty profile is spot on.
