Medusa’s Makeup July 2017 Subscription Box Review

Medusa’s Makeup

Cost: $15.95 monthly

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month Medusa’s Makeup sends 3-5 full size products, with a value of $40 from their line.  I have been subscribing since their inaugural bag. They have changed things up a bit from 3-5 products to 3-4 products each month.

Medusa’s Make up is a vegan and cruelty free company and made in the USA.

They usually send out their newest products and always full size.


Every month I have been more and more disappointed with this subscription and this should be the last month I attempted to cancel so let’s see if it worked.

The mailer was so cute this month I had to show it off.

Lip Paint in Cowgirl

Full Size: 1.5 g

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 1.5 g

Value: $12

This is the only thing In the bag that I am keeping this month. Everything else is being gifted to new homes. This is a weird color very early 2000s foundation lips. But I have nothing like it so I am keeping it. Swatched Below.

Brow Wow Wow

Full Size: 2 g

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 2 g

Value: $12

The pop art packaging is cool but I have no interest is filling in my eyebrows let alone filling them in with powder so this has been passed along to my mom. With the brush but we will get to that later on. The brow side is definitely an eyebrow powder it is stiffer and more of a buildable formula. The highlight on the other hand is super powdery and pick up in chucks and is fairly glittery/metallic for an eyebrow highlight and after swatching I am  99% sure it is the exact same as one of their new baked eye shadows Bitchin’ that we received in May. It isn’t a good brow highlight they would have been better off with a matte highlight or just not even including one. Swatched Below

Glitter in Mystique

Full Size: 2

Full Size Cost: $8

Sample Size: 2

Value: $8

This is a gorgeous light blue mermaidy glitter I am not going to swatch it so that I can leave the seal on and give it away I just never use loose glitters I am just not into it. They do have very pretty soft glitters if that is your  thing you should really check them out.

Angle Eyeliner Brush

Full Size: 4 brushes

Full Size Cost: $18

Sample Size: 1 brush

Value: $4.50

The Medusa’s Makeup brushes really are not that great quality they break they don’t blend or pick up product well I have 1 dollar brushes from Shop Miss A and Amazon that are so much better for so much cheaper. Also the card claims that this is an $8 brush. First of all you can only buy this is a set of 4 for $18 dollars so that is $4.5 by my calculation and second of all this is not worth $8. This brush actually was soft and dense as you would want in an angled liner brush but I gifted this to my mom to go with the eyebrow powder I gave her.

They also included a bonus Beach Bag this month it is about 18in x 16 in so not exactly beach bag size but it is super cute and probably the nicest most useful thing in the bag for me.


Total Value: $36.50

Definitely not the $45 value they claim. The “beach bag” was a cute touch and probably my favorite thing in the bag. I unfortunately didn’t love anything in this month’s bag so this month was a total waste of money for me and with that I will officially be canceling.
