Category: Product Review- Lip Factory Inc

As you know one of my favorite beauty box subscription services is Lip Factory Inc. I always love each and every box they send. If you are interested in subscribing I would appreciate it if you used me as a referral.

For everyone person that uses me as a referral I get points which I then can redeem for a free box. Just leave me a comment if you plan to do so, so that I can keep track.

Now this month is a little different because I have two boxes. They are for May & June. I didn’t get the May box before leaving for NYC last month so it was nice to come home to some packages.

So lets get onto it shall we. The first box I am going to show you is the May box.

 This is everything I got in the box for May.

 A brand we get quite often in the box is from 29 Cosmetics which I like because I don’t think you can get this here in Canada. Its a Lash Lengtheing, Curling, and Conditioning Mascara. Its a black mascara and I have to say that I really do like the smell of it. Its a long lasting anti-oxidant enriched D’Vine mascara with grape seed extract to help nourish your lashes and protect them from environmental pollutants and harmful effects of free radicals.

 This is a new to me company and its called LiSi Cosmetics. They sent us a Line & Define automatic Eye Liner pencil that is retrackable which is nice because you don’t have to worry about sharpening it. It came in the shade Tsunami and I would describe it as a dark gray. It went on really nice and it has a but of a shimmer to it.

 I believe we have gotten things in the past from Two Cosmetics which I don’t mind because this was a duo eye shadow in the shade Daydreamin’. This is how the website describes the colors “pewter gray with hints of dusty blue/green in shimmer & matte. amazing for the outer V of your daytime smoky eye or as a lower lashline liner. unique color that brightens up every eye color. paraben-free!”

I really like the colors.

 Sorry that this is upside down (don’t know why because I had fixed it before posting this but for some reason it flipped over again) this is a sample of md formulations and its a facial cleanser. I can’t wait to try this out when I get back from vacation.

 I was so thrilled when I opened my box to discover I got a nail polish. I don’t own anything by LA Splash. Its in the shade Atlantis. Its a beautiful purple polish with specks of blue and purple glitter. I was happy when I took the picture because you can see some of it in the picture.

 I have never heard of Sweet Pea & Fay before and I was excited to get this liquid lipstick. Although I have to say that it was kind of hard squeezing it out and when I finally got it to come out it came out in a blop and its just seems like its not the right color for me. Its a little too bright and a in your face color. As you can see from the above swatch.

Finally another company that we see to get a few items from and its from Ofra. I believe this is a lipgloss and its in the shade Bordeaux. To describe it I would have to say a deep burgunday/purple. It has a doe foot applicator and its got a really nice smell to it. I did find it a little sticky but I would wear this probably more in the fall.

Now onto the June box.

 June was another awesome box that I loved each and everything.

 The first item is from Manic Panic and its a High Voltage Gloss. Its 100% vegan & paraben free. It came in the shade Radioactive and its a beautiful shimmery red gloss. I don’t think I would wear this everyday but perhaps to a special event or occassion. I loved that it came with a mirror on the side of the tube and when you take the cap off it lights up making putting on so much easier.There is no smell to it that I could taste and I love that the applicator is a doe foot one.

 Another item from Manic Panic was this Creature of the Night mascara. I didn’t open it up so I am presuming its black. I have quite a few ope mascara’s that I need to use up first before opening it up. Its cruelty free and vegan as well.

 Another new item was this loose mineral eye dust in the shade Turquoise from Colour U. Its a very pretty color but I have to admit that I am not a huge fan on the loose shadows. Not sure why just not a fan.

 I am slowly discovering a love  for Essence items so I love being able to try things from this company. This time I will be able to try this Essence Volumizing lush powder.

 This month again we got something from 29 cosmetics and its a lip stick with SPF 20 in the shade Wine Critic. I love the color very pretty and I have to say its a me color and I love how it went on and the texture. Nothing sticky about this.

 Something I have gotten in the past from other beauty boxes was the Befine packs. I love these and I love having a few on hand. This on eis the Exfolliating Cleanser with brown sugar, sweet almond and oats. This was one of my favorites.

And finally this month I got another polish. If you know me you know I love getting nail polishes. This is a new brand to me its by london town. The name isn’t on the bottle and I am trying to recall the name because I saw it online and I think its Thames from the Eye. Its a very pretty creme polish in the shade blue green. I am probably going to use this very soon.

So overall I have to say that I am really impressed with box boxes and I do find that it pays for itself and more so when its items I am excited to try and use. I believe everything was full sized.

One of my favorite beauty box subscriptions came in yesterday and I am always so excited when the mail man delivers this monthly package to me. This box is bascially ripped open as soon as the door is closed.

The price has increased a little and here in Canada I pay roughly $27 (shipping and the exchange rate) and I honestly love this subscription and have no plans to cancel any time soon.

This month is all about the lips.

Here is what I got:

 I love the way they ship out the boxes and honestly love how everything is packaged inside the smaller black lip factory box. On the flip side of the card it tells us what products we got this month.

Did you know that Lip Gloss was invented by Max Factor in 1930?

 I was so thrilled with all the lip products they sent because there has been some items that I have been wanting to try that aren’t available here.

So the items I got are:
-be a bombshell in in the shade Sugar Lips
-L.A Splash diamond lip gloss in the shade Forbidden
-Korres Liquid Lipstick in the shade Raspberry. This is a water-based formula for intense colour and long lasting creamy texture
-Designer Skin Lip Shimmer in the shade Perfectly Perfect
-NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil in the shade Hera
-Ofra lipstick in the shade Berry Sexy
-Dermalogica Renewal Lip Complex sample

I got two bonus items and the first item is a Lip Factory Inc lip brush ( I think everyone got this) and CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine 100% Natural Mint balm.

I have swatched the products for you and the first one is with the corresponding products. This was taken at my desk.

 This is another swatch taken with more light.

I have to say some of my favorites right now is the be a bombshell, Designer skin and the NYX.

 Lip Factory Inc is one of my favorite beauty box subscriptions that I get each month. I love the idea behind this because you do get a wide range of items each month with a focus on lips.

I have been asked recently what this feature is really about and its just an unboxing posts. I want to share what I got with you my readers and reviews are posted the following month.

If you are interested in subscribing to Lip Factory Inc I would appreciate it if you could mention Cindy Smith as your referral.

Lets get into the unboxing shall we. As you can see Lip Factory has kept the little black box to ship the goodies in and this months box was created by Maryam Maquillage. She created the smokey eyed Valentine look. So the flip side of the card tells us how we can achieve that look. The other card is the product card.

One of the reason’s I love this subscription is the brands they include. A majority of them are all new to me brands. That I love trying out.

 The first one is this Nabi lip liner pencil. Its in the shade Cola #L45. When I swatched it, it went on smooth and easy. Its sort of a plum color. This is a full size item

This is the first time I have heard of 29 Cosmetics. They are from Napa, California and they are dedicated in protecting, improving and presenting beautiful skin.  The formulas are all natural and pure, there is no paraben and sulfite free.

I was sent this Reserve Grape Seed Age protecting Moiturizing Lip Stick with SPF 20 in the shade LS22 Stompin’ Grapes. Its a really nice shade that I am so excited to try with my daily routine. This is a full size item valued at $25.00

They also sent out this leather mirrored Lipstick case. Which will be perfect to throw in my purse so you don’t have to worry about your lip stick opening.

Another full size item is this Stila Plumping Lip Glaze in the shade Vanilla Mint. I don’t have very much in the line of Stila items so I am always excited to get one. This has a value of $10 on their site. This was a bonus item this month.

“Plump up the volume of your pout and add beautiful color and shine. Stila’s world-famous lip glaze now has active ingredients to help promote beautiful, full, healthy lips. Camellia oil, high in oleic acid,is a fabulous moisturizer. Antioxidant-rich vitamin E helps protect cells against environmental damage. Naturally occurring peptides offer just the right amount of plump but without burning or stinging the lips. Available in six sheer, minty flavors that can be worn alone or used as a great top coat with your favorite stila lip color.”

I love Kabuki brushes so getting this cute little mini was a nice surprise. The bristles are very soft and I can’t wait to add this to my brush collection.

LA Splash Cosmetics is another new company for me. They sent out three full size items with a value of $6.99 each ($20.97 total). You can wear them as is or if you want a more intense color you should use a base/sealer and there is 224 colors in the collection. I was lucky enough to get Oyster Shell (top), Hula Hula and Black Sea. I thought the colors were very pigmented.

They now ship in a normal brown box but inside the box is a little black box stuffed with crinkle paper to hold it in place.

When I took out the black box I could see that it was filled to the brim. I can’t wait to show you what I got this month.

Please note that I purchase this subscription and that this is just an unboxing posts. If you are interested in subscribing I would apprecitate if you used my name “Cindy Smith” as your referral or http://cindysloveofbooks.blogspot.com I would appreciate that greatly.

Lets get into the box shall we.

This months box has a value of over $40 so its paid for itself. I am excited to try everything out

• Based out of the US but they do ship to Canada and International.
• Its $22 a month (recurring charges) shipping is included in that for US and Canada. There is an additional fee outside that area.
• You can expect to receive up to 10 sample sizes from some of your favorite make up brands.
• You could receive a full face make up kit and you will always get lip products such as lip glosses, lip sticks, lip liners, etc because its all about the lips.
• The website is easy to navigate and what I love so far is that there is always a video or photos online called tutorials so you know how to use your month’s box.

So lets get on with the November box shall we.

I should let you know that coming into Canada it could take a little longer due to customs. Although I thought this month they were really fast in getting the boxes out despite Hurricane Sandy.

One of the things I loved this month was that Lip Factory Inc, donated 25% of our subscription fee this month  to the Susan G. Komen for the cure foundation. In honor of breast cancer awareness. I don’t think any of the other beauty boxes I get did that.

As you can see the packaging is very pretty and classic in my opinion. It comes in a plain brown box but inside you are greeted with this:

This month its all about the lips so you know there will be all kinds of lip goodies in this months box which I am excited for.

I really liked the subscription this month. So many great lip products to check out and sample. I honestly like everything this month and I know it will all get used. I can’t believe how many full size items that we got as well.

What do you think of this beauty subscription service? Is this something that interests you? If you subscribe did we get the same things?

This is the October product card.

As you can see the packaging is very pretty and classic in my opinion. It comes in a plain brown box but inside you are greeted with this:

When there was a delay in shipping they instantly contacted me right away via an email to apologize and I thought that was really nice on their part because so many of the beauty boxes don’t do that so this gives you a great first impression on the company.

The above picture is all the swatches I did. They are in order from top to bottom: Korres Cherry Lip gloss, ChaCha Tint, Glow Baby Glow Luxe, Expresso eye shadow, Plum liner and the Extreme Blue liquid liner.
