Lip Monthly March 2018 Review
Each month, Lip Monthly sends their lip products in a little makeup bag. This month’s bag is made of a brown satin fabric with white and orange flower designs. There is a little card with the month and the saying for the month.
Sorme Smearproof Lip Liner in Pure Rose 22 - Retail Value $9.59
I really like this lip pencil. It works well as a liner to prevent feathering or to fill in lips on its own. The soft pencil applies an opaque matte layer of pigment without feeling heavy or waxy.
It really is long lasting and smearproof too.
Ecolips Ecotints in Sugar Plum - Retail Value $4.49
I like the idea of including a lip care product in the midst of all of the lip color products, but this one just didn’t do anything for me. The ingredients are natural and healthy but the shimmery wine color seems to bunch up on the chapped areas of my lips causing patchiness.
Hikari Lipstick in Crush - Retail Value $13
This shade is described as a “deep, vivid pink” but to me, it’s bright fuschia. It applies smoothly with a thin, balmy texture. I’m impressed that it lasts for a couple of hours and stays comfortable. The packaging is a problem though. The actual lipstick detached from the base on the first swipe and the tube tends to lose its outer bottom shell instead of the top when I pull to open it.
Be A Bombshell Eyeshadow in Superstition - Retail Value $7
The website listing makes this look peachy-pink when, in reality, it is more of a mauve/purple color. It’s pretty and blends surprisingly well with other shadows without a lot of fallout. It’s nice to have a matte, deep purple color in my collection and I think this will work beautifully in the fall.
Here are all of the swatches next to each other. From top to bottom: Sorme lip liner, Ecolips lip balm, Hikari lipstick, and Be A Bombshell eyeshadow.
Verdict: This wasn’t my best month of Lip Monthly. It has a retail value of $34.08 which is lower than normal for the $12.95 subscription. I really liked the lip liner and will find use for the eyeshadow, but the lip balm didn’t impress me and the lipstick’s packaging makes it too messy to use. The selection also seemed a little random and not particularly suited for spring.
