Medusa's Makeup May 2019 Review
Included is a handy info card that shows off the products in the box this month and their retail values. On the back is a little list of upcoming exciting things.
Another promo card for the new skincare line called Love Byrd with a 10% off code. The site is active now and it looks like they have a curated selection of cleansers, toners, and serums!
Now, on to the items!

Lip Paint in 'Get Lucky', 0.34 fl oz – Retail Value $12.00
This is possibly the pinkest lip color I have ever seen. A true Barbie pink, it goes on bright and in your face from the first swipe. I really did not like this formula. True to its name, it does indeed feel like literal paint on my lips. It also remained sticky for a really long time. Because it is a truly opaque shade, coverage without splotches was difficult. It was a real job to remove and I ended up having to rub face oil on my lips and scrub it off. If you love bold, in your face color that will literally stay put all day (all week?) give this a try.

Tropical Matte Eyeshadow in Martinique, 2 g – Retail Value $9.00
This is one of the prettiest blues I have ever seen. This true matte shadow has a lovely velvet finish and blends out like a dream. Although it is a bold color, it somehow feels soft and delicate. I am planning on trying it out as a liner with a wet brush, as the color is too pretty to not wear, even if it is a little 'out there' for me!

Sun Kissed Bronzer, 1.4 oz – Retail Value $13.00
This is another stunning shade, although one I can not wear. I am far too pale! What the pictures aren't showing well is that there is an incredibly subtle glitter/shimmer happening in this formula that gives the slightest twinkle without looking unnatural. It is smooth and very pigmented!
Top to bottom: Lip Paint in 'Get Lucky', Eyeshadow in 'Martinique', Bronzer.
This trio of shades really screams summer to me!

Life's a Beach Face Spritzer, 0.5 oz – Retail Value $12.00
I have some issues with this product. Let me start by explaining that my face is one of those that can take testing most any product without a breakout, flare-up, or negative reaction. I generally will slather new products on without even looking at ingredients. A few moments after spraying this on my face I noticed a burning sensation. What?? I started peeking through the ingredient list and noticed a few great things, like aloe and hyaluronic acid. I also noticed sea salt and alcohol. I have no idea why I would find either of those two ingredients in a "hydrating" spray, but I know that is where the burning came from. I would use this with caution, especially on sensitive or sunburnt skin.
Verdict: This month's Medusa's Makeup Beauty Box has a value of $46.00 which is great for a $16.95 beauty box, including free shipping. It was also one of the more polarizing boxes I have ever gotten from them. I found the texture of the lip paint utterly unbearable but loved the color. The eyeshadow and bronzers were both the most stunning colors and I might try the bronzer out as a shadow because I liked it so much and I really want to make it work. The face spritzer is not something I would ever recommend.
