Apocalyptic Beauty Look of the Month Club May and June 2021
I’ve gotten a little behind on my reviews, I’m sorry to say. But I’m hoping I can catch up on most of them before I have to disappear while I’m busy working conventions again (hooray!). So I’m squeezing two months into this review for Apocalyptic Beauty.
For those who may not know, AB is an indie brand makeup company who has a monthly subscription service. For $15, you will receive 4-5 makeup products that fit a particular theme. They are also 100% vegan and cruelty free. Check out their website for more info on this and everything else they’ve got. APOCALYPTIC BEAUTY
(I pay for this service with my own money and all opinions are my honest ones)
Let’s look at May first. Theme: GODS OF OLYMPUS
I love that each month comes in a cute little reusable mesh bag with a piece of candy. This month’s bag was rather unique! But let’s take a look at the products.
Apollo: a sunny peach gold eye shadow
Aphrodite: golden seafoam blue eye shadow
Hades: sparkling iridescent blue over a black base. Foil for maximum drama!
Ares: shimmer balm. It’s pretty smooth and creamy, the golden copper just shows up a bit on my lips. Smells very strongly of warm spices, like cinnamon and/or french toast. Not sure I can handle it.
The candy is an Olympic Mastic candy. Basically it’s from Greece and is made with tree resin. Kinda tastes like cedar and pine. But in a good way, actually!
Not super excited about the color story here, and the scent on the lip balm is so strong. However, I have already used that Apollo shade a couple times. It’s GORGEOUS.
Now, on to June. The theme: CLASSIC MONSTERS
In. Love. With. This. Month. Are any of us surprised? Thought not. Moving on. Let’s take a look at the products. We got all eye shadows this month.
Count Dracula: Brooding red (a warm coppery red)
Frankenstein’s Monster: Void green (moss, swampy green)
The Mummy: Sheer iridescent grey-blue
Phantom of the Opera: Sparkling violet with red sheen
Creature Feature: Neon yellow green*
*In the US, the FDA has not approved neon pigments as “eye safe”, while many other countries deem them safe for all cosmetic use, including near the eyes. So it’s up to you if you do or do not want to use them. I, personally, cannot fucking WAIT to try it out.
I am so jazzed about this month. The colors are awesome, and though maybe not obvious to everyone, they look like they’ll work really well together.
I can’t tell what the theme is for next month because it got cut off at the bottom of the card. It looks to be “Sinister Sprite” maybe? I’m excited to find out.
What did you think of these products and themes?
