Got my August bag today and it arrived in a plain brown envelope. The actual bag is pretty – cream colored with a taupe bird print. I could do without the big LipMonthly logo, but still cute.

I received the following. :

*Manna Kadar Lip Wand in J’Adore (blushing nude)
*Lord & Berry Lip Liner in Romantic Rose (nudey rose)
*Seraphine Botanicals Rosy Cheeks Lip & Cheek Gel in Bloom (cherry popsicle red)
*Hikari Dual Color Lip & Cheek Stick in Dusk (bright clown-nosed red)

I will never wear the reds, so those will go to the neighbor’s kid to play with. The lip wand and liner are very pretty and right up my alley.

This was my first bag and after reading many of the MSA/Facebook posts, it sounds like LipMonthly is fond of including the really loud, bright colors. That is way out of my comfort zone so this is likely not for me.

I love the idea of getting just lip items each month and think the value is absolutely there. If the palettes change or we can fill out a profile in the future, I would re-sub immediately.

I waited all this time for this bag and the one item i really wanted is broken the Manna Kadar very upset, I e-mailed customer service no reply, i have heard they have really bad customer service. i also read on their website that you need to return the item and you will receive points, points are not what i want since i only bought the one bag, i want a replacement. If they do not reply i will contact my credit card and ask for the charge to be removed, i really wanted to like this as my daughter loves lip products.

@tpop @Bev – Sounds like you were both able to make it work, which is awesome. But, I am just not comfortable in any ‘bold’ colors. So, the neighbor kid has a new toy for her dolly, lol.

tpop

The Hikari actually blends down to a nice color. I admit that when I took the cover off, I said “Oh!” loud enough that my father two rooms away asked what was wrong!

Bev

Hahaha!! I felt the same way.. I used it as a blush and it worked out.. all my friends said it looked good..

Bev

I receive my bag today!!! Two dual lip/cheek stick, lip liner that is somewhat melted I live in Az so I expected and the advertised lip stick. I haven’t tried anything, letting them cool down. First bag, I think I love it.

Deb

I live in AZ too, I received my bag on the same day. Our mail guy, he knows about the cosmetic bags and leaves them at the door, rather than the metal mail boxes. Although, I was “waiting” for him, the products were still a bit melted (just from being in the truck). I just put the bag in the refrig and every thing was fine. I have a few monthly subscriptions, according to the reviews the company can be a bit problematic, this was my third bag shipped and it is my favorite subscription.

Bev

Do you get an email when they ship the box or anything?

Valerie

Yes, with tracking. My August shipped today.

Mine, too – but, the wording in the email was a little wonky. The subject stated my August box was on the way but the body of the email indicated it was a July box?

Guess we will have to wait and see. 🙂

I like this sub, three months in and still happy with every bag I’ve recieved 🙂

Jinytte

So if we use the code 3FREE, we would get 15 months total for $116.55?

And if we use the code 1STFREE, we would get 5 months total for $38.95 ?

Karen

I signed up for this sub several months ago and used the coupon code for the 3 free months. I believe you will get 12 months but the price averages out to be $9.71/month. It’s worth it if you like bright colors and discovering new brands, but personally I really haven’t found too many keepers in my monthlies, as I prefer more natural colors, but I am looking forward to the Manna Kadar…great line.

Jinytte

Oh, so the $116.55 price is after you use the coupon code.

At first it looked like the annual sub price was $116.55 and then you could use the code for three free boxes.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Emilia

Why do they charge tax to other countries?

lrgh

i signed up lst month with a promo code and thought, well, a lifetime supply of lipstick lol (i don’t wear it often) Bit I really liked it, great value for the money, and one of tbe colors was brighter than what i’ve tried and i really loved it! maybe i will start wearing lip product more! maybe it wad an especially good box…biy for now i’m impressed.

Emily

I love Manna Kadar. If I knew I could get this as my first box I would go for it.

I emailed customer service and got confirmation that the MannaKadar would be included in my first bag (August).

If it helps, August will be my first box. This was the same email that they sent me, so I hope it includes ‘first timers’. I have read the comments that other newbies received a ‘mix’ of products…maybe it will be a mix AND this?

ValerieAnne

I think I’ll finally sign up for this, gonna do the monthly.. I was gonna do the 4-month (using the above code) but the price isn’t is the price after the code (not before, which I thought). This is probably better in the log run, so if I don’t like it lol

Melissa

I just signed up for the 4 month sub and hoping for the best.
The crayon looks nice.

Melissa

Melissa #2 signed up to Lol I just did the one month though.

Katy

Everyone who signed up in June for July got May’s products so unless they have made changes for their new subscribers, I wouldn’t be too sure about what to expect in your first bag.

Thanks, Liz. I really hope we get the color shown, such a soft pink.

This will be my first bag and I’m pretty excited. From past reviews/comments it sounds like they are really putting effort into delivering a better product. Fingers crossed!

Dea

With the coupon, this is a no-lose proposition. I’ll try it!
