Starbox: February 2014

I loved my Starbox so much more this month then last month.

FYI, Starbox is the subscription box service of Starlooks. I had gotten some Starlooks samples in one of my Wantable boxes and was curious about their products, so I subscribed to their service.

Starbox is about $16.00 per month, and they sent you ONLY full-size products of their own brand. There's usually 3-4 products per month, and there tend to be several different colors of whatever product they send.

I've found their customer service is great. When I had my billing issues due to the Target Credit Card Scam and had to contact them, they responded right away, and they were very nice and helpful.

I wasn't too pleased with their January Box, but I give each subscription at least a three month chance before I cancel it, and I really liked what I got in my February box, so I'm glad I kept with it.

This is this month's box. It's gold with a holographic logo. I like holographs.

First look inside of the box.

Item number one... A Hairband? They advertise this as something to use when you're putting on makeup to keep your hair out of your face, when you do your makeup, but to me, it's just a simple hairband. Value: maybe... $2.00?

A Starlooks Cream Shadow in Phaser. It isn't even on their website since it's a brand-new product. I'll price it to the same price their long-wear eyeliner pots are because they're of similar design, so about $12.00

It's a very creamy shimmery lavender color with some hints of silver. This is it on my hand with no primer or anything. I don't wear much purple eye makeup, but this is a color that I could get into because of the silver sheen, and it's eye makeup and I like eye makeup.

Starlooks Pigment in Wall Street, worth about $12.00.

I love it. It's black with silver sparkles in it, just like my favorite oil slick 24/7 eyeliner from Urban Decay. I wore this yesterday, and a little bit goes a long way. It also had GREAT staying power. It lasted through me sweating through the Houston Zoo, a shower because I was sooo damn sweaty from the zoo, and a night out at the pub with my friends without me ever having to reapply it. I used it as a highlight color and I loved it.

Starlooks Lipstick in Drew, worth$12.00.

I'm not really a lipstick type gal, but I can get by with this. It's so pale that it barely leaves any color on my skin, which makes it more like a lip gloss to me, and it's a very neutral color that I would wear, if I ever feel like wearing lipstick. So I'll keep this, in case the opportunity ever arises, where I want to wear lipstick because it is a "me" color.

swatches of all three products.

So, I was ever so satisfied with my Starbox this month, and I'm excited to see what they'll include in the next box.

I paid about $16.00 for this box, and got $38.00 worth of makeup from this box, which is more than half of what I initially paid. So the price is worth it.

I really hope I get some of their eyeliner pencils in an upcoming box because I am eager to try those out. I really like their eye products a lot.

Starbox is a good subscription box. You always get more than what you put into it, and the quality of their products is really good, so check them out, if you're so inclined, they always send a variety of different products every month, so there's always something new to try.
