Sound Cosmetics Joy & Beauty Monthly Box - October 2021 | Frankly Kiersten Reviews
What is the Sound Cosmetics Joy & Beauty Monthly Box?: The Monthly Box is not an every three months box (even though the website says it is) containing five full-sized beauty items from Sound Cosmetics. If you're new to the box, the website does show you what's included prior to purchasing. It's a monthly box, according to me paying for it two months in a row, to my surprise.
How Much is the Sound Cosmetics Joy & Beauty Monthly Box?: The box is $25 if you sign up for the subscription. Shipping is $8 and they've removed the free shipping code AND the option to purchase the box as a one-off box.
For my first impressions video, click here!
Midnight Glam Eyeshadow Palette (Unavailable) - This didn't apply quite as well as last month's palette did, but it's not the worst palette I've ever had. The shimmers were great and other than the blue mattes, the mattes were good too. The blue mattes were a bit patchy with a brush and took some time to build up.
Liquid Lip Kit (Sassy) ($16.00) - I loved the liner but the liquid lipstick wore off super quick and didn't apply over itself nicely. It ended up breaking up and becoming patchy and I just didn't enjoy the formula.
Luxe Creamy Matte Lipstick (Temptation) ($8.99) - I passed this along to my mom but she ended up not liking it. It ended up staining my arm so I could see this getting around the lip and staining and becoming clown makeup. It stayed on my arm through makeup remover, a Makeup Eraser, and multiple showers. I get staying power but that's a bit unnecessary.
Lip & Cheek Veil (Totally Shy) ($12.00) - Like I said in my video, this basically wears away if you blend it at all. If you tap it on and leave it, it'll build up but it's still not super pigmented on me and I could see others not enjoying this because of how unpigmented this is.
Swatches.
My box's value was $36.99 plus the palette that's unavailable so I can't get a value for that. It did include a broken fifth item that wasn't listed on the website, so I didn't include it in this post (it's in the first impressions if you want to see it). Overall, I'm pretty displeased with this box so I did end up canceling it. I noticed they aren't listing what's in the November box and I didn't want a bad surprise. Oh well!
As always, let me know what you thought of this month's box in the comments below!
