October’s Espionage Cosmetics BOOM!Box has arrived! It’s right on time and is full of goodies related to this month’s theme, “Haunted,” from spooky nail wraps to a nightmarish print and sparkly bats and even mysterious gems for your ears. It’s yet another amazing box and perfect with Halloween coming up this month!
Let’s start with the two nail wraps! On the left is Graveyard with a nod to Thriller in the subtitle. In my head, I could actually hear Vincent Price reading that line (also hey, earworm!). These are glossy nail wraps showing a graveyard scene against a dusky sky with glow in the dark ghosts swirling around the wraps. On the right is REDRUM, with a glossy print of the carpet from The Shining, and REDRUM scrawled on the wraps in glow in the dark ink. It’s so hard to pick a favorite between the two, but I know I’m going to be wearing one or the other this month for sure.
This was a big surprise this month! Two full serums, two everything shadows and two mixing pots to go wild creating custom lip colors. Everyone got something a little different according to the product card. I received the serums in Soulless and Fatality and shadows in Shiny and Headshot. I’ll have to give these a try with the mixing pots to see what I come up with!
Two super fun items that fit the theme and round out the box. On the left is a set of bejeweled bat clips, Glittering Acro-Bats. There’s a card included that says they’re more than just hair clips and can be used to add a bit of bling to your handbag, as a necklace, on shoes, or anywhere else they can clip to. On the right are a set of earrings from Sparks Emporium. They’re red with an iridescent blue sparkly glow. Included along with the earrings is a 15% off coupon for any purchase from Sparks Emporium which is a nice bonus!
And finally, a print from Nerdy Post that reads, “Sometimes Nightmares are Real.” This is gorgeous between the lettering and lacy design around the edges and I just love it. It’s a departure from the character sort of artwork we’ve had in previous boxes, but it fits in SO well with the theme, plus it’s fun to get something completely different! I guess I really need to get on that whole finding frames thing, huh?!
As far as value goes, it’s definitely above and beyond the cost which is between $25 and $30 depending on the length of the subscription. Just with the serums and shadows alone, we’re already at $33, so then add in everything else and the value is way above the cost! This is another big hit, and honestly, those two nail wraps are AMAZING. Have I mentioned how incredibly bright the glow in the dark magic on the nail wraps is? Because it glows for hours after exposure, so much so that sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and startle a little seeing something glowing on my hands (and then remember it’s my kickass nail wraps and laugh at myself). I’m so thrilled with this box and cannot wait for the next one already! In case you’re thinking about subscribing and want to send me some love, hit up my referral link!
