I was much more satisfied with this month’s box then last month’s.

The card his month is very festive, and came with a coupon code to use on their site.

Use code gold and get 15% off sitewide. It even works on sale items so you could pick up one of their pressed eye shadows that is on sale for $4 for only $3.40. Its a good deal. It also works on the bundles so you could save some decent money if you are looking to pick anything up.

Witch Lash in Black Noir

Full Size: 12 ml

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 12 ml

Value: $12

Nice rubber brush with short bristles.  The box is just too cute with the witch and the stars.  The tube also has a nice matte rubber feel that is nice to touch its packages very nicely and when I finally work through my mascara stash I can’t wait to try it.

Blush in Dangerous Liaison

Full Size: 10 g

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 10 g

Value: $12

Well goddamn this is a pink blush. Like Barbie pink. With Glitter! I never wear blush and this I could not imagine ever wearing without looking like a clown but it is super pigmented and soft with a nice stiffness and not a lot fall out that I think this will look amazing as eyeshadow. So I now have a new giant pan of eye shadow.

Lipstick in Sugar Daddy

Full Size: 3.5 g

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 3.5 g

Value: $12

This is like a perfect nude, a your lips but better color. Their lipsticks are a super comfortable formula very smooth and not sticky. In the tube they have that awful like old school cosmetics smell but you can’t smell it when you are applying it to your lips so I can ignore that. There are 8 shades in total and I have received 3 shades maybe if I keep this subscription up I’ll get all the shades haha. Swatched Below with the glitter.

Glitter in Gold Digger

Full Size: 2 g

Full Size Cost: $7

Sample Size: 3 g

Value: $7

The website lists the glitters at 2 g but I do believe and the packaging says that the glitters are 3 grams. This glitter is gorgeous though and perfect for this time of year its very New Year’s Eve. I am not really into glitter but I love this glitter and think I will try to find some use for it.

Total: $43

The value on this box was as usual fantastic and I was truly happy with all the products.  They are definitely sending the same kind of format every month so it is starting to get boring but they do have a limited range of products they make. I would love for them to send some of their eyeliner paints they come in some really awesome neon colors that would be so fun.

I have to say I was a little disappointed with this month’s selection.

Medusa’s Makeup has continued on with their updated card and it is quite cute this month.

Here’s some close ups.

Lip and Cheek Stain

Full Size: 3.5 g

Full Size Cost: $8

Sample Size: 3.5 g

Value: $8

1123160035a

1123160034

Swatched below. There is no size or color listed but it appears to be full size and in the shade Moody.  This has a very greasy texture and I hate lip products in pots like this so total fail for me. And it does not have enough pigment for a cheek stain.

Lip Gloss in Rumors

Full Size: 1.5 g

Full Size Cost: $9

Sample Size: 6  ml

Value: $9

1123160039a

1123160039

WordPress recently updated and is giving me hell with posting photos so forgive the lack of the picture of this out of the box. Its a very shear purple shimmery gloss very sticky. Not a fan. Also think its very odd that the box and the website disagree on how much is in this tube.

Eye Dust in Green Velvet

Full Size: 1.5 g

Full Size Cost: $7

Sample Size: 1.5 g

Value: $7

I am not a huge fan of loose pigments so messy, but this color is very pretty and has a very smooth texture.

Setting Spray

Full Size: 1 oz

Full Size Cost: $8

Sample Size: 1 oz

Value: $8

So this is pretty small for a full size setting spray. I was really excited to get a new setting spray to try since its a different type of product for Medusa’s Makeup. It works ok it isn’t super sticky and it does feel refreshing on the skin but is not super long lasting or anything.

Swatches Without flash

From top to bottom cheek stain, eye dust, lipgloss.


Total Value: $32

I was not overly impressed this month. I hated both lip products and am not wowed by the other products. I will probably cancel if December fails to impress me.
