I have always had a love hate relationship with beauty subscription boxes. They seem to suck me in and spit me out. It’s great to have a surprise every month but I can’t stand receiving tiny sized samples, cheap products and paying for expensive shipping costs.
For me it’s all about trying new brands and products I wouldn’t normally purchase. In Australia there are not that many beauty subscriptions that tick all the boxes. Trust me I’ve tried them all.
I was recently contacted by Lip Monthly and was pleased to be sent their May edition to trial and share with you guys. I have always admired American subscription services and always wondered what they would be like. Here’s the low down on what Lip Monthlys all about.
THE IMPORTANT DETAILS

As well as the cute patterned makeup bag each month comes with a small card detailing all the contents and prices.
Overall I was super impressed with lipmonthly. The shipping was super fast and came in a metalic gold padded bag! I love how all the products were fullsize and can’t wait to try them all out. I’m so glad I discovered this beauty subscription and can’t wait to see what’s to come next month!
