Starlooks Starbox August 2013 Review

As usual, near the end of the month, one of my makeup sub boxes, the Starlooks Starbox, arrived. For $17.68 per month ($15 for the box, $2.68 for shipping), you get 3-4 full sized items of makeup and usually a smaller bonus item or sample. I'm always excited to see what products we'll get each month.

This month's theme was actually a special edition for Natalie Corona. Who I'd never heard of. But that's ok!

Pretty box!

Info card

I have to admit, when I first looked into the box, I thought it might've been a mistake that I got 2 lipsticks until I realized they were different shades. And then I was just a little bummed, haha. You know me and lipstick. But, anyway, let's look at the products.

The first lipstick was an Infinity Lipstick in Eons ($15). When I looked at it, it looked a bit dark, but it was in the only color family that I've ever really worn, so I decided to try it on. And I liked it!! A lot! I couldn't believe it!

The second lipstick, also an Infinity Lipstick, was in the color Endless ($15). This one I liked a bit less because it was a little frosty, but maybe I'll try it with some gloss. It's not terrible.

The last product was a Glitter Glam in Emerald ($17). Although I'm probably getting a bit too old for it, I still love glitter, so this I thought was pretty cool. A really pretty color too. I'll probably just use it lightly as an accent though.

Swatches: Starlooks Infinity Lipsticks in Endless (L) and Eons (R) and a big pile of Starlooks Glitter Glam in emerald. It actually blended out quite nicely. I probably should have taken a picture of that, too. :/

Our little bonus this month was kind of lame. A red prism crystal thing. And not even a very nice one, really. Mine has some weird color bubbles in the surface.

 We also got a lip coupon code and a mini biography of Natalie Corona, for those of us who had never heard of her.

I'm not sure I needed this...

So, this box turned out to be less of a let down than I thought originally. I'm amazed I found a lipstick I like. That's awesome. While this box doesn't have the gigantic value that last month's had, it's still valued at $47, which is well over the price of the box. I'd still like to see more eye stuff again next month, but that's just me. :)
