Kismet Box Review - Beauty DIY Subscription Box

Kismet Box is a new hybrid subscription box - it's equal parts beauty and DIY! Each month they send you all the materials and instructions you will need to make your own beauty products! Kismet Box kindly sent me this box to review.

Here are the instructions that come with the box. The instructions are very detailed without being overwhelming. I like that they let you know what materials you will need to provide (measuring spoons and a microwave safe bowl). There are also some helpful tips they added in throughout the step-by-step guide!

This month's project is making your own lip balm! I love this since I always can use new lip balm, plus it's great that you can control how much pigment you want the lip balms to have!

The materials and tools included: 2 Disposable Pipettes, 1 Mini Whisk, 1 Mini Measuring Spoon, 1 Spatula, 6 Lip Balm Tubes, 2 Squeeze Tubes with applicators, Lip Balm Base, Castor Oil, Watermelon Flavor Oil, and Coral Lip Safe Sparkle Mica Powder.

Verdict: I like that Kismet is taking a new angle on the DIY subscription box category. I'm excited to make my own lip balm, and I'm already thinking about what washi tape I'll use to decorate these lip balm tubes! What do you think of Kismet Box?
