The June Lip Factory Inc Box has finally made it all the way from the USA after waiting a whole month. Unfortunately they had shipping problems hence the delay. However it’s finally here and was worth the wait. I can confirm that I did not incur any custom charges on this box.

 The Lip Factory Inc Box is an American subscription beauty box which is all things make-up. Each month their box contains 5 to 7 of your favorite makeup brands. Although the kit may include a full face of makeup products, their focus is on the lips!  Their products are chosen each month by their expert team of beauty specialists and makeup artists. You are required to complete a beauty profile to ensure you receive products in accordance with your  preferences which is always a good thing.

Judging by their previous boxes I have seen fab products in this box and most of them have been all full-sized. The appeal factor for me was the fact that it’s make up related items only. I also love discovering products from other countries it makes me feel that I am not missing out on anything!

June’s  box included 6 full sized products.

1.    Model Co Shine Ultra Lip Gloss  – Full Size RRP £12.00

I own a few Model Co products so was happy to see this in my box.

This lipgloss is a shimmering and reflective gloss which came in the shade Rosie and is a limited edition colour in their lipgloss range.

Whilst this looked really bright on appearance once applied it’s a really nice shade of pink. On applying this lip gloss I found it quite sticky. This also has a built-in mirror for easier application on the go which is a great idea.

2.   Model Co Eye Define Eye Pencil  – Full Size RRP £7.50

I do love a good eye liner and is the one makeup item which I can’t live without.

This has a great depth of black and glides on smoothly and did not smudge throughout the day. I did have to re-apply however I think I will blame that on the hayfever.

The lid of this eyeliner has a built in sharpener too which is useful as I don’t tend to carry one in my make up bag. My only negative about this is the fact that the sharpener will need to be wiped on every use to ensure none of the kohl gets onto your bag and other products if in a make up bag. They should of made a casing which goes on top of the sharpener which would of prevented this. Overall a fab eyeliner.

3.     Girlactik Eye Shadow – Full Size RRP £12.00

This is a very pretty reddish and slightly pink color shade in Lush and it blends extremely well. It’s mostly matte-looking , and a little does go a long way. This is quite pigmented and I definitely did not need to keep re-applying to develop the colour.

I’m not usually a fan of eyeshadow however I loved the colour and the quality of this eyeshadow.

4.    Palladio Nail Strengthener  – Full Size RRP £3.66

This  is a clear nail repair varnish for brittle nails that split, crack & peel. Luckily enough I don’t have that problem however this will be a nice treat for my nails once in a while.

5. Befine Lip Serum – Full Size RRP £6.10

This is a natural lip serum created from camomile and beet extract and will plump up and provide healing antioxidants to the lips. This is a clear shiny gloss in the same texture as a lip gloss. I really like this as it didn’t feel heavy or sticky and ideal for the warmer weather.

6. 29 Cosmetics Line Maker Lip Pencil – Full Size RRP £14.00

29 is a company formed by Lydia Mondavi who has redefined cosmetics and skincare for the woman of today. 29 is the first of it’s kind, an age protecting skincare and colour cosmetics line utilising the benefits of grapeseed which is known for it’s concentrated forms of anti-oxidants.

I stopped using lip liner quite some years ago  so probably won’t use this. I received the shade Woody cab which is a deep plum burgundy colour which applies really smooth and didn’t drag the skin.

My Verdict

This was my first Lip Factory Box not to my mention my first American beauty box. Was it worth waiting for? It certainly was!  A box full of make-up and all of the products were full sized.

 I am particularly impressed with the variety of the products and the fact that they got everything spot on in relation to my preferences. Now that’s impressive in my eyes. They also included a product guide so you knew exactly what each item was.

This box has also enabled me to discover other brands which are not available here in the UK.

June’s  box included 6 full sized products.

The lip liner is the only product which I wont make use out of so was a great box for me this month.

The contents within this box is  worth an amazing £55.26.

If you’re a make-up lover and want to discover American brands this is the box for you.

Can’t wait for July’s Box as it’s Lip Factory’s Anniversary.
