Glamour Ghouls Beauty Bag
Cost: $10 monthly + $3 shipping
Cycle: Every Month
What is it: A beauty bag for all of us strange and unusual beauty lovers out there. Those of us who like things a little darker and creepier then the average beauty lover. I am a huge horror lover still wear all black all day every day. I would rather go to a metal show then a club any day of the week. I personally think my aesthetic is goth my little pony so this was a subscription right up my alley.
I have review one of the normal Glamour Ghoul Boxes before you can check that one out HERE. Just like that box you have to sign up for this box every month and if you miss the preorder you miss that month but you always can try again next month. They will feature all Indie Brands
This was the inaugural beauty bag for Glamour Ghouls so I was really excited I got this one in November and am signed up for the December one as well. And then I will decide if this is something I wish to continue in the future. (I am not getting the January Bag).
As is par for the course when dealing with small indie brands there are often delays and what not this box did come very late to the end of November but still came before the month was up (more then I can say for my November reviews) so I consider that a success for them on their first box.
So I saw some other posts and a variety of bags were sent out lots of cute plaids and ghosties and I of course got spiders, I HATE spiders, just my luck. Everyone did receive the same products though. I also really appreciate the little card with details on the companies so you can find them because that is hard with indie brands sometimes.

I never paint my nails as you can tell by the hack job in this swatch but omg is this just gorgeous it makes me want to get my nails done it is so pretty and holographic and just mesmerizing to look at. It is a greeny brown base with multicolored holographic glitter in it. I am keeping this because I just have to maybe I’ll get my nails done.
Rebel Rouge Labs Lip Balm in Blue Raspberry
Full Size: Yes
Full Size Cost: $2.50
This is not currently for sale but according to the Instagram account this is valued at $2.50 which is really inexpensive for an indie chapstick and a ton of product. I hate to beat up on an small brand but I do have to be honest this is not my favorite. I do not like pot style chapsticks and my tin arrive all beat up and dented. This does smell just like blue raspberry though. I just don’t know how much use I will get out of it. It is very slick on the lips and kinda messy.
Spoiled Lips Liquid Lipstick in Poker Face
Full Size: Yes
Full Size Cost: $11
I have a few of these all received in connection with Glamour Ghouls actually one in the Batty Box and 2 that came with they collaboration eyeshadow palette which I loved. Unfortunately I don’t love the formula. It is hard to work with it is patch and dries extremely quickly and while it does stay on forever you can see how dry it is so it doesn’t always look the best. I will keep them because they are such fun colors but it is more of a special look for a picture type of lipstick for me then something I would be comfortable wearing out and about being so dry. This is a very poop brown type of color. Swatched Below.
Dirty Glam Cosmetics

Full Size Cost: $

As is often the story with Indie Brands people have lives and the owner is currently on vacation so I I don’t have any information on this product I will update it next week when the site it live again. This is a gorgeous gold loose shadow mush thinner and sheerer then a Medusa’s Makeup pigment but still very nice and holiday appropriate I may actually wear it this Saturday to a Christmas Party I will update with that picture too if I do. I tend to wing my makeup with how I am feeling that day. Swatched Below.
Total: $18.50 without the eyeshadow
So the value is there you are getting probably double your money which is great and what I expect out of a subscription of this type. For first impressions I am unfortunately meh about this box but I truly love the concept so will probably keep picking up bags here and there even if it is not a regular monthly thing I do.
