November 2021: "Glow Up"

 

Along with my beauty items, I received an info card that details what items are in the box. Our theme this month is "Glow Up". As we transition into a new season, I am hoping to unbox moisturizing skincare items and cute fall makeup options that will have me glowing. Let's dive right in!

Medusa's Tinted Lip Balm (DM), 4 g – Retail Value $14.00

 

Our first item this month is a berry-tinted lip balm. Tinted balms are ideal because they offer a tint of color to lips while being incredibly moisturizing like a chapstick. My only general complaint when using them, however, is that the color hardly shows up. That was until I tried this DM shade...

 

Finally! A tinted lip balm that shows up on my lips and that I really like. This rosy color shade will look great with all of my new fall outfits I just purchased (but had no business buying). The lippie is also incredibly moisturizing and made my lips feel so soft.

Medusa's Makeup Remover Pad –  Retail Value $5.00

 

Our next item is new to the Medusa's Makeup family and is adorable! It's pink, in the shape of a heart, and fuzzy - my literal middle school (and current) makeup remover design dream. What makes it even better? It actually works! As most of you know, my go-to for makeup removing is coconut oil. It works great for me and never clogs my pores. The application however can be messy. This makeup remover pad makes that process a lot cleaner. I applied the coconut oil on the pad, wiped my face, and my makeup came right off. This pad is reusable and can be easily washed with soap and hot water.

Medusa's Baked Eyeshadow (Woke) – Retail Value $14.00

 

Here is another newly added item to Medusa's site and is now in our hands. This baked shadow is a highly pigmented gold. You only need a light smudge of this product to show on eyes.

 

I tend to like my golds darker, but I think I'll keep this one around. Maybe I'll try a "golden smokey eye", with browns, golds, and bronzes.

Medusa's Original Afterglow Serum, .5 fl oz– Retail Value $16.00

 

What a perfect addition to our Glow Up-themed box! The raved-about Afterglow from Medusa's Makeup is back due to popular demand and I am truly pumped to try this stuff out. The hydrating facial serum contains a blend of grapeseed oil and pink grapefruit oil and is great for fading blemishes and brightening skin tone. I applied it on my face before going to bed and woke up to hydrated skin with a subtle glow. Looking forward to seeing my skin progress with continued use.

Peony Pink Glow Highlighter Stick, 1.8 g – $22.00

 

Our last item in this month's box is a featured item from Peony. This pink/rose gold highlighting stick is perfect for an on-the-go touch-up, giving your cheekbones a soft dewy glow.

 

In love with this light highlight. I applied the highlighter directly onto my cheeks and rubbed in a circular motion with my fingers. I'm honestly impressed by the visibility of this product on my skin.

Verdict

I'm going into this next season glowing and joyful thanks to the products in this month's Medusa's Makeup box. All skincare and makeup items were perfectly aligned with the Glow Up theme. I'm ecstatic that I now have in my possession the Afterglow facial serum. I have a few stubborn dark spots on my face that I'm hoping the serum can clear up for me.

Keep track of your subscriptions by adding this box to your subscription list or wishlist!

To Wrap Up:

Can you still get this box if you sign up today? You'll likely receive the December bag but the November Glow Up! bag is available as a one-time purchase of $24.95 while stocks last.

Value Breakdown: I estimate I received $71 worth of items. I think that's a fantastic deal for only having paid $18.95!
