Medusa’s Makeup September 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.


Cute very berry themed back to school box.

Glitter in Key Lime Pie

Full Size: 3 g

Full Size Cost: $8

Sample Size: 3 g

Value: $8

This is not a compelling enough color for me to keep so I will be passing this along. I am not a huge glitter fan tends to bother my contacts.

Totally Baked Eyeshadow in Awesome

Full Size: 2 g

Full Size Cost: $9

Sample Size: 2 g

Value: $9

This is a very bold pink shade. Unfortunately this is not nearly as pigmented as any of the other shadows I have tried from Medusa’s so that is a little weird to me. It is very soft and definitely buildable so it really isn’t a problem just sorta weird. Swatched Below.

Lip Paint in Bang

Full Size: 1.5 g

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 1.5 g

Value: $12

Finally one of the lip paints in a color I will wear this is a gorgeous pinky berry shade I love it. These do not come off for anything it is really awesome. I am so thrilled. Swatched Below.

Star Bright Luminous Creme Hilighter

Full Size: 1.5 g

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 1.5 g

Value: $12

Does it bug anyone else the way they chose to spell this? No? Just me then, ok, This is supposed to be a cream highlight for the face but it never really dries down or sinks into the skin like other cream highlights I have it stays wet and creamy. Which is cool for photos and looks great for like ten minutes and then it melts into a mess. This is a really cool product though and I am glad then sent something kinda different it also looks really really pretty on the lips as a gloss (moisturizing and not sticky at all) or topping matte lipsticks. Swatched Below.


Total: $41

This was a really good month. They sent out a pretty cohesive look and a nice interesting. The cream highlight and lipstick pair super well together and I do appreciate a good berry lip + berry toned eye look so this is a great box for me. First month in a long time that I am happy and not a little meh about this box.
