Medusa's Make-Up December 2020 "Ho Ho Ho" Review

 

Along with my beauty items, I received an info card that details what items are in the box. This month included a cute holiday message.

 

Glitter Angle Eyeliner Brush – Retail Value $6.00

While this item is listed on Medusa's Makeup site as a 2 brush set, we only received the eyeliner brush. This brush is stated to be used with all powder products, as well as any liquid and/or cream products.

Instead of using it as an eyeliner brush, because I haven't yet mastered that skill, I used this brush to apply the Mineral Eye Dust (which will also be reviewed) on my eyes.  The bristles were very soft and the shadow stuck to the brush for a nice application.

 

Medusa's Mineral Eye Dust- Dirty, 1.5 g – Retail Value $9.00

And since I've introduced this eye dust in the above review, let's dive right into this sassy shadow! The dust, a shimmery violet in color, is a pretty dense dust. It didn't shake out of the container as easily as I thought it would (which is good because I ALWAYS make a mess), so I had to shake a few times pretty hard before anything came out.

This color gives me deep violet starry night vibes!

 

I thought it might be a dust that could only be worn on a night out because of how pigmented it seemed, but I wore this out on a day of errands and didn't feel too made up!

 

Medusa's Makeup Eyeliner Seal, .67 fl oz – Retail Value $9.00

Before I knew of eyeliner seals, I would dip my eyeshadow brush in my eye dust and then put it in water to create a paint-like look. This seal makes that look a lot easier to achieve than running sink water on your brush.

I experimented with the mineral eye dust from this month's box.  The top is a natural smudge. The bottom is the dust with the eyeliner seal over it. You can see that the seal makes the pigment a deeper metallic color, really allowing you versatility with your eye makeup!

 

Vegan Lipstick -Baroque, 3.5 g – Retail Value $14.00

One of my favorite products from Medusa's Makeup is their lipsticks. The creamy formula leaves my lips feeling moisturized, while still retaining my color all day.

 

I'm loving this deep fuchsia color! The pigment is rich enough that you can wear it in the winter months, but also the color "pops" enough that you can rock it in the Spring and Summer! And again, very moisturizing.

 

Halo Glow- Astro –Retail Value $16.00

This item was the *New Product Alert* of this month's box. I love highlighter sticks, and this one does not disappoint. It's in this groovy supernatural green and adds a nice "outer-space" glow to your face.

Verdict: Another winner from Medusa's Makeup...I'm obsessed! All the items were great but the halo glow stick was my favorite. The green iridescent hue makes it a total knockout for me! All products were very on par with the holiday theme 🙂 I received $54 worth of items.

To Wrap Up:

Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No, you'll likely receive the January box. Orders are generally processed within 1-3 business days.

Value Breakdown: At $18.95 for this box, here's what you're paying for each item:

  • Lipstick - $4.91
  • Glow Stick- $5.61
  • Brush- $2.11
  • Eye Dust - $3.16
  • Eyeliner Sealer -$3.16

Awesome, thorough review! Thanks for showing us the products in use. Both the eyeshadow and lipstick look fantastic, and I agree with the others that the lip color was made for you! So pretty!

Thank you so much! I’m trying to incorporate more photos of products in use rather than only swatches. 🙂

They are back to sending their own products again? I haven’t checked in a few months, but after seeing this review, I may reconsider joining again. I quit after receiving mostly other brands in my box. I originally signed up to get their products, not other brands, so I am glad I saw this review. I know I would have been happy with this box!

Thanks for the review, I thought all of it looked great!

That Glow Stick shade looks awesome!

I never heard of an eyeliner seal (I don’t really know how to do eyeliner properly lol); that’s pretty cool.

The eyeliner seal is really cool! I too, am not the best at applying eyeliner. I’m hoping this at least makes me look like I know what I’m doing!
