Summary

Price | $15.00

Availability | Limited November 2013 Supply Starlooks.com

Pigmentation:

  • Eyeshadow palette: The shadow palette has a great range of shadow colors. The pigmentation varies by each shadow. Across the board the pigmentation is better in the matte but the satin shades work well too. I would suggest using a eyeshadow primer.
  • Eyeliner Pot: The pigmentation of the eyeliner is good but it’s not great. It is slightly transparent on darker skin and can appear blotchy.
Value Vs. Cost 
          Cost per unit | Retail value of included items $72 – Retail price of the box $15
Overall | I believe this is a good beauty box. You get 3 full sized products and an additional pencil sharpener. The piece in the November Box are great for kit building. The slanted brush is essential to any eye look and the eyeshadows can be used together or alone. The products in this box are not products that I would use everyday or even once a week but they are great product to have in any kit. The products are great professional quality and can be used by any makeup artist or makeup lover.

Pigmentation:

  • Lip color: The sheer Tendergloss felt very moisturizing and buttery. The shade was a translucent pink with pink iridescent sparkles, it had light to medium coverage. However, the coverage was very opaque and blotchy when you build coverage. It would be a great gloss over a matte shade or over a natural lip.
  • Blush: The pigmentation of the blush was very light and matte. The texture was smooth and light with light to medium pigmentation. Even though the pale pink to mauve shades were light they showed very well on my complexion.

Longevity: 

  • Lip color: I wore each color for about 6 hours during normal daily activities and didn’t experience any negative effect against manufacture claims. The Tendergloss was very fluid and with a oil like texture so it will smear when touched.
Value Vs. Cost 
          Cost per unit | Retail value of included items $73 – Retail price of the box $15 = $58.00 per gram
Overall | I believe this is a good beauty box. You get full sized product at a really good value. Even though the shades of the October box are not products that I can use for myself due to my complexion, this box is a great kit building tool. Each box includes at least 3 to 4 full size professional quality products that you can add to your kit and experiment while saving over 70% on the retail cost. I would suggest to beauty box to any makeup lover and/or new makeup artist looking to add to their kit.
