January 2016 Lip Monthly Review

By Elisabeth @onecutedoc

LipMonthly is a monthly lip subscription service. However, they usually include a non lip item as well. I am a total lip junkie, so this subscription is right up my alley. The products come in adorable reusable bags and there is an information card detailing the retail cost of each item.

Cost: $12.95/month

Ships: To the US, Canada, and Internationally

Coupon: Use Code LIPLOVER to get your first bag for $5 (I am not sure if this code still works...but try it)

FIRST IMPRESSION:

This month's bag was an adorable green bag with a bunch of hearts. I love it! I know they have horrible costumer service, but I have never had a problem with them. I really hope they work on their customer service so people are not so mad. However, I really do like this subscription. I am however, tired of seeing the same brands over and over. I hope they add new brands soon.

REVIEW OF ITEMS:

Starlooks Lipliner in Stellar ($14)

This is a FULL SIZE! I really love this shade and will always welcome new lip liners! It will go with so many lip colors. I can't wait to use it.

City Colour Lipstick in Latte ($4.99)

This is a FULL SIZE! I love this nude shade and can't wait to use it in my looks. I have received these lipsticks before and they are pretty good.

OFRA Liquid Lipstick in Laguna Beach ($19.90)

This is a FULL SIZE! Thanks to subscription boxes, I am going to own this entire line soon. Luckily, I love this formulation! I don't have this color yet and am so glad I received it. I love it so much!

Oscar Blandi Hair Masque ($25)

This is a FULL SIZE! I love Oscar Blandi products and can't wait to try this hair mask. I hope it is as amazing as the other products in this line.

OVERALL IMPRESSION:

I loved this LipMonthly bag! I am getting tired of the same brands, but I still love them. I really love the bag print this month. I received mostly nude shades and I am totally okay with that. I know there customer service is terrible, but I really love the value of this subscription. It is also such a great value for only $12.95 a month! The bag has a retail value of $64! I will continue to be subscribed to LipMonthly. What do you think of this month's bag? Let me know in the comments below!

Note: LipMonthly increased the price to 12.95/month. However, if you are currently a subscriber you will stay locked in to $10/month for as long you have your current subscription. I think this bag is still worth $12.95!

BONUS CHANGES (FROM EMAIL):

Customize Your Bag + Earn Loyalty Points! Beginning November, you'll be able to log into your account and choose the colors of your items (which will be for the December Bag)! That's right - personalization is here! Some months will differ in terms of how many items you can customize but we'll do our best to give you as much choice as possible! Also - We're implementing a new loyalty program that rewards you for how long you've stayed subscribe to Lip Monthly. There are HUGE rewards to be earned. The longer you stay - the more rewards you'll earn.

I think these changes sound awesome! I am excited to see how they work out. It was suppose to start in December, but I never saw them change it. I hope they start allowing customization in February. I wonder if they have forgot about this!
