Lip monthly subscription - ofra, nyx, hikarai and city colour

Hello beauty lovers today's blog post is about a subscription box which I have been receiving now for 2 months. The subscription service is called lip monthly, the company is based in the USA but they do ship internationally so it's all good. Every month you will receive a unique box straight to your door, lip monthly discover and pick out the best lip products including lip glosses, lipstick, lip balm, lip stains and much more other lip products.

In the box... Well technically it's a cute little makeup bag with a themed design on it, you will receive a variety of products such as 2-3 full sized products, 1-2 sample products and a monthly mix up which is normally a non lip related product if that makes sense lol. When you receive your lip products, it also comes with a cute little card which will have information about the month on one side, and a list of products and the prices on the other side which i find so handy.

Lip monthly currently have three plans to choose from which are the monthly plan (which I am using as I wasn't sure whether I would like the products but I do aha)! This one is $10/month which you will earn 10 shop points on lip monthly's website, 4 month plan which is normally $40 but they currently have a deal on (maybe because it Christmas) so it is only $32.99, and by using the coupon code "HOLIDAY299" you can get your first bag for only $2.99 with 100 free shop points (bargain or what). The last plan is annually and its normal price is originally $120 however it is currently $100, and you can get the first two months free and 200 free shop points,if you use the coupon code "HOLIDAY12". For all you girlies outside of the usa international shipping is an additional $5. And if you are in the uk like me the pricing is roughly £9.60 for the bag including shipping plus an extra £1.28 (which I believe might be for conversion charged but don't quote me on that). I do honestly think that this is a great price for what you receive, especially because most of the lip products are from American brands which are hard to find in this country. So I best stop talking and get into showing you what I have received so far from lip monthly.


November's lip monthly

This was my first ever lip monthly bag (well first ever subscription) and I did lose the little card sorry girls...but I've still got the super cute makeup bag the products came In which looks like this in addition to all the products swatched on my arm without flash.

L-r lip liner (OFRA orchid), lipstick (NYC 442 berry me), lipstick (HIKARI Cabernet), cream eyeshadow (CITY COLOR White gold)
The first lip product that came in the bag was a lipstick by the brand HIKARI, I like the sleek black packaging and I think the colour is very fall/autumn appropriate, the colour is in the shade Cabernet which is a deep red in person (however on camera looks quite pink lol).

The next product was another lipstick (I was so happy and surprised that I had two full sized lipsticks in the bag, not to mention that they're both beautiful and wearable colours for any skin tone. This lipstick was by the brand NYC in the shade 442 berry me (such as cute name) this colour is a dark berry colour obviously from the name lol but has a hint of pink as well. The negative is that I'm not keen on the packaging as it does feel cheap like plastic however the pigmentation and colour pay off is amazing so I'm sure I could over look the packaging

The third product is a lip liner, I have never used a lip liner in my life before I received this bag (cute emoji with hands over eyes lol) however I am in love with this one the colour and the formula is amazing, especially when used under the previous lipsticks mentioned in addition to wearing it by itself. The name of the brand is OFRA and it is in the shade orchid. I think out of all the products that I receive this has to be my favourite as I think it's close to the oh so famous kylie Jenner lip.

The last lip product I was very surprised to see as I wasn't aware that we could get makeup brushes in the bag. However like the lip liner I have never used a lip brush either, but because of the shape of my lips I feel that this makes it so much more easier to apply lipsticks. Because I lost the information card I can't remember the brand or price of the product, but I do love it and having received this one I have purchased a few more which I used quite regularly.

After receiving my lip monthly I am very impressed with what I have got as I didn't think the products would be as amazing because of the price paid however I love this subscription and I have recommended it to my family and friends, as I only came across this amazing subscription service thanks to Shannon Harris, as I watched one of her shaaanxo YouTube videos about this service. I think it is such a great idea as I get lip products that I would have never chosen for myself and it is a surprise every month as you don't know what products you are going to receive. That's it for today's blog post I will hopefully be posting every month with my lip monthly subscription Talk to you soon beauties xoxo
