HUCK + LIZ August 2018 Review
Here is the info sheet for the products included.
“Love” Necklace - Listed Value $59
This necklace is 14K gold-filled and says “love” through four dangling letters. I am not one to wear jewelry that says things like this, but I actually quite like this necklace. It is that perfect length where I can fasten the necklace by myself and it hits perfectly above the normal neckline of the clothes I wear.
Butter London Nail Polish in Blaze, 0.2 oz – Retail Value $10
I love Butter London! I don’t normally like receiving mini nail polishes in subscription boxes, but Butter London is an exception—just look how chic the packaging is! Blaze is a limited edition sheer peach shimmer that I think is a perfect summer manicure color.
Soap & Glory Orangeasm Body Butter, 1.69 oz – Listed Value $8
This ultra-moisturizing body butter is scented with Sicilian lemon, mandarin, and sweet orange oils – a.k.a this smells AMAZING. I absolutely love citrus scents, and this also features small shea butter massage bar that burst when rubbing the lotion into your skin. I think this is a discontinued scent as I can’t find it from a reputable shop online, but I will enjoy using it while it lasts.
Bath Bomb – Listed Value $4
I love bath bombs and consider myself to be a bath bomb connoisseur. This one fell a little flat for me—it is unbranded with no description whatsoever, so I question if this belongs in the "luxury" beauty category. I also think it was unscented? There was no scent when I opened up the plastic and held it about an inch from my nose. This did change my water to be light orange, but overall I wasn't impressed.
Too Faced Sweet Peach Lip Gloss in Pure Peach, Full-Size! Retail Value $19, Listed Value $20
Oh, hello there beautiful! I have been eyeing the Too Faced Sweet Peach line ever since it was released, but this is my first product from the line to call my own. This is very moisturizing and comfortable to wear, and the pinky peach shade can be lightly applied for a very sheer wash of color or built up a bit for more color. This has all the markings of being an authentic product (coming in a box, stamped with a batch code on both the box and the tube), but part of the label was misaligned when applied so there is a slight tilt to it. I don't think this is a counterfeit product—rather I believe it was probably sold at a discount to retailers due to the label mishap. I am fine with having a slightly tilted label if that is what it took to own this lip gloss because it is a gorgeous lip gloss with minimal tackiness and a yummy peach scent.
Here is the lip gloss swatched twice to show the color payoff. If you want a more sheer look, just use one coat!
Bonus! Body Prescription Makeup Removing Wipes
I am always happy to see makeup removing wipes in subscription boxes because they are practical and can always be used. I appreciate that these are individually wrapped, as this makes it perfect for travel. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the performance. This tugged at my eyes when I was trying to remove my mascara, and when I went over my face with a cotton pad and toner later a lot of foundation was left on my skin. These would perhaps be good in double cleanse if you're following with a good face wash after, but on their own, these won't remove everything.
The Verdict: The gold box from HUCK + LIZ promises a monthly box with a value over $100. I think this is why the Too Faced lip gloss was listed as having a value of $20 rather than the actual retail value of $19—without that extra dollar, the total value of this box is right at $100 using the retail values when I could find them and the listed values when I could not. Overall, however, I really did enjoy my first box from HUCK + LIZ. All of the items are good fits for me, and it is a fun box to combine beauty and jewelry items. The limit does not exist when it comes to makeup and skincare, and I am really trying to up my accessory game, so I am really looking forward to the September box!
