Medusa's Make-Up February 2021 "Hot Stuff" Review

Along with my beauty items, I received an info card that details what items are in the box. This month included a 20% off coupon and free shipping code!

MineTan Coffee Scrub, 1 oz – Listed Retail Value $19.95
Let's dive right in! Our first item this month is an exfoliating coffee scrub! Confession: I got a little nervous when I saw the scrub because I've been trying to limit new items on my face. But surprise! This is a full-body scrub, safe to use on your entire body. This scrub not only smells delicious (like a nice hot cup of coffee), it feels incredible! I was expecting a rougher scrub, but the consistency felt like grounded coffee infused with sweet-smelling oils. With ingredients like almond and macadamia oil, your body is getting the ultimate glow up.

Medusa's Makeup Penny Wise Eye Dust, 1.5 g – Retail Value $9.00
Our next item is a BEST SELLER on Medusa's site! This eye dust is in the color Penny Wise and I'm still trying to figure out if it was named because of its coppery color like a penny, or if it's named after the infamous clown Penny Wise because of its red/orange hue. Doesn't even matter. I am loving this color!
I love how this dust gives me a bronze highlight. And because this dust can be applied to your lips, eyes, and face, I think I will actually use this as a highlighter rather than a shadow.

Medusa's Liquid Cheek Stain – Listed Value $14.00
This item is exclusive to this box. In my 20s, I learned a beauty trick to put a reddish gloss under my cheeks to give myself a dewy stained glow. I still to this day, will sometimes give myself this DIY glow as a midday refresher. This cheek stain resembles this beauty trick except it's less glossy (which I prefer).
The stain gives a nice, natural, and subtle rosy tint to the cheeks that I really appreciate. Such a useful item!

Medusa's Mystical Eye Dust, 3 g– Retail Value $11.95
This eye dust is in the color Ganesha and is a STUNNER! Upon first look, I assumed this was a basic silver shimmer shadow, that would no doubt be pretty, but it's much nicer than other silver shadows.
Whoops, I had a spill haha. Anyway, this picture does the color of this shadow no justice! The chrome eye dust seems to have multiple levels of metallic. There's a nice gold hue that gives balance to the silver-tone. It's beautiful!

Medusa's Disco Queen Lippie, 2 fl oz – Retail Value $14.00
The color is Super Freak and the 80s are calling! This sparkly retro pink makes me feel like I'm getting my jerry curl ready for a night at the skating rink. It's loud and fun – perfect for the ultimate diva.
While I know many out there that could rock this color... it's not for me. I tend to like my lip products with minimal sparkle. Though the color on my lips isn't as bright as the product picture, it's still a little too loud for me.
Verdict: Another cute box from Medusa's Makeup! The mythical eye dust in Ganesha really surprised me. What I thought would be just another silver shadow, actually had different metallic layers to it and became my favorite item in this month's box. I can't wait to try some sassy eye looks soon! I received $68.90 worth of items which is a steal compared to the $18.95 you are paying.
