First of all Starbox comes from Starlooks. It's a makeup subscription that consists entirely of Starlooks products. One of the pros is that it's very affordable when compared to Wantable or some of the more expensive makeup subscription boxes, it's only about $15.00 per month, and you get 4 full-size makeup products, and a makeup tool.
This month, Starlooks did something different with their Starbox. They sent every subscriber different products. Up until this month, every subscriber had gotten the same thing.
This was my first ever Starbox.
It comes in a white envelope, and it's the perfect size to fit into my tiny apartment mailbox, which is always a plus. The box itself is cute too, it looks like a present. My orange tabby Ajani immediately stole that silver string from the box and started playing with it.
It comes with a sheet that describes this month's theme. January's theme was "Surprise Yourself." It's all about not being afraid to take risks, which is a major girl power theme, so props for that.
This was the unboxing, four mystery products, a tool, and tiny quartz crystal.
This was one of the products I really liked that I received in my box. It's Starlooks Infinity Eyeliner in Milky Way, worth $13.00, as all products in a Starbox are full-size makeup products.
It's a creme based eyeliner, that can probably be used as a shadow, as well. It's silvery white, which is totally one of my wedding colors, so I approve. I've also always loved silver/white eye-products because I feel like they make me look more awake than I actually am, and they blend very nicely with other colors.
A Mascara Comb, price unknown, so I'll go with $8.00 based on a similar type product I found via a google search.
Not gonna lie, at first I had no idea what it was, but it made the perfect brush for my Rainbow Dash. Then I actually looked at the information card and realized what it was.
It's supposed to separate your lashes after you apply mascara and get rid of clumps. This has happened to me before, so I'm eager to see if it really does what it says it does.
Now, THIS IS WHAT DISAPPOINTED ME, I GOT THREE LIP PRODUCTS!!!
I don't do lipstick, I don't like lipstick. This is the same problem I had with my Wantable this month, I don't like lip products, yet they sent me two of them.
Why three lip products? Why not one lip product, maybe an eyeshadow or a mascara or even an eyeliner. I was very sad I didn't get a pencil eyeliner.
Oh this is the handy dandy information card that told me what the lash brush was.
My first Infinity Lipstick in Endless Satin, worth $15.000
And my second Infinity Lipstick in Eons Matte, also worth $15.00
Endless Satin is on top. Eons Matte is the bottom color.
I don't like lipstick, I won't wear lipstick. I only used the lipstick to make these swatches for anyone, who reads this. I want to give away these lipsticks, FREE OF CHARGE, so somebody can get a use from them. If you read this, and you're interested, please comment, and I can pick somebody to send both of these lipsticks to.
My third lip product, Tender Gloss in Puzzy, worth $13.00
That very slight shimmery color in the bottom left corner of my hand is the color. I had to swatch a lot even to get that much to shimmer. This is the only lip product that I got that I have any interest in, and that's only because it's more a gloss than lipstick. It will just give my lips a slight shimmer, and I'm okay with that. I do like lip gloss and lip gloss like products.
My tiny crystal, every box comes with a crystal since they sparkle like stars.
I spent $15.00 and maybe two something for shipping, and I got products worth $64.00.
So yes, the Starbox is definitely worth its price.
My biggest qualm with it is just that I got a lot of lip products and not much of a variety. I'm sure a lip lover would have LOVED this box, I am just not a lip lover.
It's only their first month, they still have a chance with me. I just hope there's more of a variety of product for the February box.
Again, I have two lipstick colors that are just going to sit and gather dust. If you read this, and want them, FREE OF CHARGE, please comment, and I will pick somebody to receive them.
I'd take them off your hands if no one else wants them. I don't wear lipstick everyday but I do wear it. Especially lighter shades like those.
ReplyDeleteThey're yours ;) email me your address to silvereyeliner@gmail.com and I'll try to get to the post office this weekend and mail them
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like lip products, this might be a hard subscription for you as most of my boxes have had at least one lipstick or lip product in them... For private label cosmetics, the quality is actually pretty good and I have liked what they have sent me overall...
ReplyDeleteI don't mind lip products, like one or so, I just didn't like getting three in one box, I know for January, they sent different things out to everyone, and I like the quality of their other stuff, so I'll see what comes in the next few months before I make a decision.
