Medusa's Make-Up March 2020 "Spring Break 2020" Review
1 of 5
Along with my four makeup items, I received two info cards. One gives the theme, plus an overview and price of each item. The other advertises their liquid lipstick that has 12 colors and four new nudes for 2020 along with a new Electro Eyeshadow Palette.

Girlactik Precise Marker Liner - Retail Value $20.00
I'm surprised to see Girlactik in Medusa's box this month but perhaps it's because they don't have their own liner that they decided to branch out? At any rate, this liner and brand is pretty well-known in the subscription box world and is one that I rather like. I'm almost strictly a liquid liner gal and this one has deep black pigment that goes on consistently and without erasing itself if you go over it. Super easy to use and stays put. I find it to be a worthy contender with KVD tattoo liner.

Medusa's Make-Up Tropical Matte Eyeshadow in Jamaica - Retail Value $9.00 (now on sale for $3.99)
This shadow looks a lot more grey in person and in the photos above than it does in the info card photo and on their website. Lucky for me, I love grey! This soft neutral hue has a cool tone isn't too pigmented that it gets blotchy. That means it can be built upon to create dimension. I also really enjoy the bright teal compact it comes in.

Medusa's Make-Up Aloha Perfume Oil, 10 mL - Retail Value $16.00
I had no idea that Medusa's made fragrance (I think it's new) but here we have an oil that comes in a convenient rollerball. This is the perfect delivery for fragrance in my opinion. The scent for this mixes blushed peony, orange blossom, rose petals, lily of the valley, and white cyclamen to produce a very floral-forward perfume that conjures up a beautiful bouquet in mind. I prefer a less floral scent, but I think Megan may really like this one so I'll pass it on to her the next time I see her.

Medusa's Make-Up Disco Queen Lip Gloss in Funky Town - Retail Value $11.95
Although I love fun lipsticks in theory, rarely do I wear them in practice. Medusa's Disco Queen series features shimmery glosses in various shades. Funky Town is a subtle pink/purple hue that can be built upon for a more opaque look or can be used as a topper to any matte color. It glides on nicely but I seem to get an overwhelming whiff of plastic when applying which is a little off-putting.
Here are swatched for the three pigmented items. Top to bottom is the matte shadow, lip gloss, and liner.
Verdict: This month's Medusa's Make-Up Beauty Box has four items that retail for a total of $56.95. I love the grey eyeshadow and the eyeliner, but the fragrance just wasn't for me and the gloss had a strange scent that turned me off to its shimmer. This subscription is a great deal for those who love the brand or enjoy being gently pushed out of their comfort zone with unique shades.
