October 2016 Medusa’s Makeup Subscription 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 from their line.  This is the third month that this subscription is around and I have been subscribing since the beginning.  Every month the products arrive in a different colored bubble mailer.

So far I have received 4 products each month and they have all been full-sized.  They also send out products that they have newly launched which is really cool that you get to try their brand new stuff.

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

They have upgraded the info card this month I hope they continue with that. Previous months it was a little slip of printed paper.

Close up of the packaging:

The packaging is both  light (cheap) feeling plastic but well designed and the cap stays on well.

Here is the lipstick with and without flash:

1022161648c 1022161648b

It’s a very nice creamy lipstick and the shade is a very true bright red with no orange or blue undertones. It is a little sheer for my tastes but does build up. Swatched below.

Cosmetic Glitter in Abracadabra

Full Size: 2 g

Full Size Cost: $7

Sample Size: 3 g

Value: $7

I don’t know if this is like old packaging or something but the pot I received says that it contains 3 g while full size on the website is advertised as 2 g.  I am going to go with the full size price of $7 for 2 grams since that is what you can buy from Medusa’s

1022161650a

This is a cosmetics grade glitter that can be used on the eyes, lips or any where on the face or body.  Abracadabra is a black glitter that is not super reflective but I could see this looking really nice topping some of my Tattoo Junkee liquid lipsticks. Swatched below.

Glitter Adhesive in The Fix

Full Size: 2 g

Full Size Cost: $8

Sample Size: 0.2 oz

Value: $8

1022161649b

1022161650

Again with the weird sizing differences the product received is marked at 0.2 oz which is almost 3 times what the website says full size is.

I am interested in seeing how this wax type of product will hold the glitter but i am not holding my breath that this is going to work.

Deluxe False Eyelashes

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $8

Sample Size: Yes

Value: $8

This seems to be a brand new product so that is cool that they include their new launches.  I am not a false lash person but this little kit is so cute that I may have to give it a try.


Overall:

The total of this months bag was $35.  Which is damn good for a 16 dollar bag. I have been happy with the variety of products they send out even if they aren’t always the type of make up I use. Messy pigments and glitters are not my thing but having this glue may help me branch out a little. The weird discrepancies in sizes has me a little confused but overall I was happy. Let me know what you guys thought about this box or if you guys get this same box!
