Lip Monthly sends all your lippies inside the cutest little makeup bag each month. This bag has a fun design but the quality of this month’s bag feels cheap. It feels more like plastic, is very thin and see-through.
Inside my package was a card highlighting the brands that I received this month.
JERSEY SHORE COSMETICS Moisture Rich Hydrating Balm, Juicy Strawberry – retail value $10 USD
Formulated with all-natural ingredients to bring extreme hydration to your lips and other body parts. In seconds you will experience softer skin. Use on chapped lips, cheeks, fingers, and noses. Scented with essential oils and natural flavors.
Gluten-free, petroleum-free, cruelty-free, and made in the USA, without the use of parabens, phthalates, artificial flavors, and petrochemicals.
#GIVE THEM LALA BEAUTY Matte Lipstick, Queen – retail value $16 USD
This lightweight and cruelty-free matte lipstick is made with a formula that dries down matte and leaves your lips flawless and kissable. It is smudge-proof for long-lasting, beautiful lips. I could not find this colour on their website but it is a very pretty rich pink colour.
Bellápierre Kiss Proof Lip Crème, Rose Petal – retail value $20 USD
A rich, full-coverage liquid lipstick that is supposed to last for hours. It goes on smooth but dries to a matte finish. With such a rich pigmented colour you need a steady hand while applying, something I need to work on. This was not my favorite colour, but will be perfect to gift to a friend.
Rose Petal – deep mauve
Doucce Lip Definer Pencil, Estella – retail value $20 USD
You will love this velvety smooth and waterproof lip definer for use on your entire lip. It glides on without tugging or pulling and it will keep your lips looking beautiful for hours without smearing.
Estella – rosy-brown that looks natural when applied
Total retail value… $66 USD
Verdict: I have been receiving Lip Monthly for a few months now and each month I find at least 2 items that I love. This month my favorite items are the delicious Jersey Shore strawberry lip balm (I can never have enough of this during the cold dry winter months up in Canada) and the Doucee liner (it glides on so smooth and ads a little extra subtle pop for my lips). For only $12.95 (or only $5 for your first bag) this is a great way to find fun, new lip or makeup products that I normally would never try. It is a way to burst out of my bubble and sample multiple products at an affordable price.

Viori is well known for its handcrafted, all natural, 100% vegan, and plastic-free hair cosmetics; shampoo and conditioner bars.
Viori was founded on the ancient traditions around rice cultivation and hair care of the Red Yao Tribe, living high upon the rice-terraced mountains of Longsheng. The Red Yao developed a distinct culture passed down from mother-to-daughter for centuries. A completely natural method to achieve long, strong, healthy hair that doesn’t grey with age.
Viori now works directly with the Red Yao villagers to source their rice to add into shampoos and hair care products. Inspired by the same techniques and rituals which have been developed over centuries, all Viori cosmetics are hand-made and crafted.
