Lip Monthly February 2018 Review
Each month, Lip Monthly sends their lip products in a little makeup bag. This month’s bag is made of a purple canvas fabric with “GOOD VIBES” printed on it.
There is a little card with the month and what I guess is the theme for the month.
Be A Bombshell The One Stick in Sunset, 7g - Retail Value $9
This is an all-in-one product that can be used on cheeks, lips, and eyes. This shade is a nude pink with gold shimmer and has a semi-matte finish. Here I have it on my cheeks and lips. It looks a little dry and patchy as a lip color and just doesn’t feel as good as other lip products so I prefer to use this on my cheeks because it gives me a perfect glow and blends in beautifully.
So Susan Lip Dew Moisturizing Tinted Lip Salve in Coral Gloss, 3.8g - Retail Value $19
Wow! This is a bright pink and I’m kinda loving it. The formula is like a lip balm, thin and easy to apply. The color is supposed to be sheer but I find it to be vibrant and intense. It feels moisturizing and comfortable on my lips but I do have to check my teeth often because it transfers easily. Oh, and it smells like a fruity drink.
Glamour Dolls Gloss Snob in Wildflower - Retail Value $3.99
Whoa! Another bright color. This one is a thicker, gloss formula that is super shiny. I feel like it’s a little difficult to smooth out if you apply more than a little but it is moisturizing and non-sticky. Less is more here. The scent is subtle and vanilla-like.
Jelly Pong Pong Play Stain Lip/Cheek Natural Stain, 10ml - Retail Value $13
I’m happy to finally try Jelly Pong Pong! This multi-purpose stain is a nice nude berry shade that isn’t sticky on lips or cheeks. I find that if I apply it and then dab it away, I get a matte stain. If I apply it and leave it, it has more of a balmy look. This can get a little runny, so squeeze with caution.
Here are all of the swatches next to each other. From left to right: Be A Bombshell The One Stick, So Susan Lip Dew, Glamour Dolls Gloss Snob, and Jelly Pong Pong Stain.
Verdict: I’m happy with this month’s Lip Monthly. It has a retail value of $44.99 which isn’t bad for a $12.95 subscription. The shades are definitely great for gearing up for spring and I like that they included some multi-purpose products. Those are great for pool or beach days when I just want some color with minimal fuss. This is the second month in a row that no 5th non-lip product was included, so I wonder if they are changing things up a bit. The products are full-size and range from drugstore to high-end in different types of formulas.
