Last month, Camille received the April Starbox from Starlooks, and I had the opportunity to review the May Starbox from Starlooks this past week. I was incredibly impressed by the items that came in my box this month, and I especially love that this subscription includes a number of full-size products for only $15 a month!
Starlooks is a beauty company that features both a makeup line and hair care products, and their monthly Starbox sends a surprise box to subscribers with products that focus on a theme. After the monthly Starboxes have been sent out to subscribers, they become available on their website for $25 a month — the bonus to this is that you can see exactly what you’ll receive, and the $25 price is still generally half as much as you would pay for the products in the box if bought separately!
The theme for this month was “Tribal”, which, I admit, scared me just a little — you remember that I’m usually a natural makeup kind of girl, so I wasn’t sure how these products would work for my preferences. I had no reason to worry, though. The packaging was perfect for the theme (zebra print box with a deep red paper inside), and the products were easily applicable to my own makeup routine but provided some new ideas and could easily be used for a more dramatic look.
Cream Blusher ($17) — I really love having a pop of color on my cheeks, but I’ve never used a cream version of blush before. I loved this product! Although the color was a bit deeper than I would have selected for myself, a light hand left my very pale skin with just the right hint of color.
Brow Shader ($21) — I’m probably going to expose my naiveté when it comes to makeup right here in my review of this product, but for the sake of honesty, I’ll tell you the truth: I’ve never even heard of this kind of product before. I have fairly thick eyebrows and have never considered the need for filling them in or shaping them with brow liners, etc., but after watching a couple of YouTube videos on using brow shader, I’m sold. The colors are versatile and the brush is small and perfect for precision.
Pigment Luster ($17) — Again, a little nervous about how “tribal” of a look I was going to get from this pigment luster, but I ended up loving this pop of sparkle that updated my daytime natural makeup look just in time for a date to the movies that evening with my husband! For those looking for a lot of shine, this would do the trick, too.
All in all, this was a great monthly subscription with some new products that I never would have even thought to purchase for myself — another bonus to signing up for a surprise monthly Starbox from Starlooks! I’ve since added these to my makeup collection and have used them more often as I’ve become more familiar with them.

Neat. I’ll have to give the monthly box a try! I’m always looking for new makeups.
