Lip Factory Beauty Subscription Box Review – July 2014

Eight full-size items in a box for $22 US (plus international shipping, if applicable) is impressive.

I don’t like boxes like these. Even though you get a lot of stuff, its always brands, shades, and types of products that I would never use. I’d rather take that $22 and spend it on something I actually want and use at Sephora.

When my box arrived the lip paint had exploded over everything in my box, I contacted them and they are sending replacements. Their CS is excellent in my books. This is my third box so far, in my first one my eyeshadow arrived in a million pieces I sent them a pic and they sent me a replacement. So they really do make things right!
They changed their packaging- it used to be a black box with bright red lips , now it’s a smaller brown box, which is fine by me. So far I love this sub because everything is full sized!
I love that you can pay via paypal, I wish more subs had that option!

I liked the number of products this month, but not half of the products I got. The J.Cat should be nice for passing out halloween candy, but not much else. I got the eye crayon in raspberry, and pinky colors never work right on my eyes.

My eye shadow also arrived damaged, and that same green color that in no way works with my skin, hair or eye colors. Did you get a response?

This was my last Lip Factory box (had canceled prior to receiving it but had already paid for this month’s box). I guess I thought it was OK, but I wasn’t thrilled. I’m over getting pretty much any lip gloss. I have gotten so many boxes at this point that I don’t care if I ever see any more lip gloss.

I got bright blue eye shadow for the second month in a row (from Lip Factory). I had changed my profile to get bolder colors but that never seemed to translate into lip colors (which I would totally wear in bold colors) — only eye shadows that I’m unlikely to wear.

I was getting a little tired of receiving the same brands over and over again. Palladio, J. Cat, Jesse’s Girl, Teeez Trendy, Pari. I’ve gotten at least 2 or 3 items from each of those brands in the past few months. You can’t even easily buy some of those brands in the US so what happens if you fall in love with a product? Can’t get it again!

The eye crayon I got looked to be a subtle shade of pink. I had to press really hard to apply it and it turned out to be a much darker (and shimmery) color when I put it on than it looked in the pencil.

At one time, this was my favorite subscription. And I may come back to it some day. The value has always been great. But I think there’s been too much repetition for my taste lately.

They really pay attention to emails about color choices! Except for the Lilac and Ginger glosses that everyone got, the colors I got for everything else were different than yours, and well suited to me! I had pink tones for the shadow, shadow stick, and gloss tube.
