Sweet Sparkle February 2020 Review
Sweet Sparkle didn't include an info sheet for me this month, but they usually have one with the products and their prices listed.

be a bombshell baked blush in First Class – Retail Value $12
Unfortunately, be a bombshell has never wowed me with any of their products. On a lighter note, I don't have anything too negative to say about this blush. It applied evenly and created a youthful flush on my cheeks. This blusher is dark, and even for a baked blush, it applied a lot of pigment, so I would suggest tapping off excess powder from your brush before applying to your face.

Luna by Luna Eyeshadow in Plum - Retail Value $15.00
This soft shadow is a lovely light plum shimmer. I love this for a wearable, all over the lid shade, and it also has decent staying power. This is actually a repeat product from March 2019 Sweet Sparkle Box, which is kind of disappointing. I have the one from last year packed away in my travel bag for an easy one-step shadow look on-the-go, so I will likely give this one away.

Bang Beauty Precise Eyeliner - Retail Value $20
Another black eyeliner! I am hooked on the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner, which has been my go-to for several years now. This felt tip liner is too rigid for me to get a steady line, but I am sure a more advanced artist could pull it off. The formula is one that lasts for most of the day, but I did notice some smearing where my cat eye was once drawn.
Cosmakery Liquid Matte Lipwares in Nola - Retail Value $22
Dry winter lips are not inviting to matte liquid lipsticks. This formula was extra sticky, and it took a long time to dry down. I didn't like the way this made my lips feel, and I certainly wasn't a fan of the very '90s color they sent. It looks like Sweet Sparkle is carrying the old packaging of this product, whereas if you go to Cosmakery's website, you'll find a much chicer tube for the same price.

Kocostar Slice Mask Sheet - Retail Value $5
This mask is a revolutionary product! I've never seen a sheet mask with individual pieces, but I love the idea and had a lot of fun with this product. Multi-masking is a smart way to target different sections of your face with different needs, and you'd finally be able to accomplish that with this kind of sheet mask. This particular version was cucumber scented, and the fragrance didn't seem to irritate my skin. The mask made my skin feel hydrated and soft, and I am tempted to try different slices so I can layer them all over my face.

Here is the look I came up with using all of the products from this month’s box. Everything performed fine enough for a few hours wear, but I really don't like this lip color or finish.
Verdict: February's Sweet Sparkle wasn't my favorite curation. I am not a huge fan of be a bombshell or Bang Beauty, and I already have the Luna by Luna eyeshadow from last March's box. I did, however, love the Kocostar Mask slices, which was a completely new product for me. This month’s retail value came to $74; that is almost triple the box cost, which is a good value, although I wasn't really excited about most of the items this month.
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No. Your first box will be the current month’s box. So if you sign up in the month of March, you will get the March box, etc.
