Opening MYSTERY MAKEUP BOXES from TIKTOK SHOP

Introduction

Today, I’m diving into the world of makeup mystery boxes that have been trending on TikTok. I’ll be unboxing two mystery bundles and giving you my honest thoughts. Full disclosure, I’m not feeling well today—I feel quite dizzy—but I’m excited to push through and see what surprises these boxes hold!

The Allure of Mystery Boxes

Mystery boxes have become a popular trend for many beauty brands, particularly after the rise of TikTok. Brands like Made by Mitchell have created buzz with bundles that include a surprise selection of products from their range. I initially ordered three mystery boxes but have only received two so far: the £25 Made by Mitchell Mystery Makeup Bag and the £35 Beauty Crop x Amelia Olivia Bundle. Each box claims to provide products worth more than the purchase price, making the thrill of the mystery even more enticing.

Made by Mitchell Mystery Makeup Bag

The Made by Mitchell bag promises a selection of products with a retail value of £70. The items can include:

Liquid blushes
Blush bronzes
Brushes
Eyeshadow palettes
Liquid liners
Liner pencils
Liquid highlighters
Sponges
Pencil and liner cases
Mirrors
Swirl solutions

Upon opening the box, I received an array of items, including two brushes—one for contour and one for eyeshadow—and four different blushes with some carrying a retail price of £14 each. I was quite pleased with my haul and couldn’t wait to use them! I want to emphasize that, while some unboxers on TikTok have complained about receiving colors they aren’t fond of (like a bright yellow eyeliner), mystery boxes are about the unexpected—you might get something you wouldn’t usually buy.

Beauty Crop x Amelia Olivia Bundle

Next, I opened my Beauty Crop bundle, which was valued at £85 but cost me £35. This box included:

Juice Pot Liquid Blushes
Setting Mist
Primer
Brow and Lash Duo
Hydrating Lip Oil
Cocoa Rose Gift Set

Upon unboxing, I was thrilled to see familiar products, especially some of the Juice Pots I’d recently enjoyed. The packaging was a bit simplistic, but the contents looked promising.

Application and Thoughts

I started with the avocado primer, which had a strange pump mechanism. The product felt hydrating like a moisturizer rather than a traditional primer, which was okay by me. I applied my foundation but found the brush for contouring a little too dense for my liking.

As I used the liquid blushes, I learned the hard way about their pigmentation—less is certainly more! I ended up with an over-the-top rosy cheek, but eventually managed to blend it down. The Cocoa Rose Mist was glittery, which was a unique touch, but I prefer finer mists.

The highlight of my application was the Juice Pots for lips and cheeks! They worked wonderfully on both, providing good pigment and a comfortable wear.

Final Thoughts: Overall, my experience with the mystery boxes was fun and favorable. They’re a great opportunity for those willing to step out of their comfort zone and experiment with new products. If you’re particular about the shades you use, it may be better to avoid mystery boxes, but for those who are open to surprises, they’re worth a try!
