nightmareb4

Walmart Beauty Box

Cost: $6.98

Cycle: Every Quarter/Season

What is it: Every season Walmart sends a little sample products of all sorts of health and beauty type items. It used to be a free sample box with $5 shipping. But they have now changed it to a $6.98 box with free shipping with the promise of better and more full size items.

Walmart always killing it with these boxes. 70 cents an item the costs breaks down to here which is just wild. and not for nothing the boxes themselves make great gift boxes lol.

CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser

Full Size: 473 ml

Full Size Cost: $15.48

Sample Size: 29 ml

Total Value: $0.95

I don’t really get along with CeraVe products so I will pass this along. But I can not emphasize how tiny and cute this little bottle is it looks like a mini brand.

Kiss Gel Fantasy Press on Nails in kgfs01

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $8.49

It can be pretty hard to find specific nail sets online because they change out so often the listings don’t keep up. I don’t like these but this is a really cool thing to get in a box like this.

Kristen Ess Style Reviving Dry Shampoo

Full Size: 113 g

Full Size Cost: $15

Sample Size: 17 g

Total Value: $2.26

Marc Anthony Repair Bond + Rescuplex Repair & Protect Leave-in Treatment

Full Size: 250

Full Size Cost: $8.47

Sample Size: 30 ml

Total Value: $1.02

I love leave in sprays and I have always had really good experiences with this brand and it is a really nice size for travel. Very happy.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel

Full Size: 230 ml

Full Size Cost: $12.39

Sample Size: 14 ml

Total Value: $0.75

I like this line alot so this will probably fine for the 2 washes it’ll last.

Juicy Couture Rock the Rainbow Its Sunny Hunny Perfume

Full Size: 75 ml

Full Size Cost: $38.97

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Total Value: $0.78

I have been wanting to buy a full size bottle of this for awhile now. So this is funny to have shown up it is a very summery sweet warm citrus scent I really like it.

Covergirl Clean Fresh Skincare Color Correcting Primers

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $14.98

Sample Size: 4 x 1 ml

Total Value: $2

It is nice that they give you all the shades of this to try and see which one you might like best. I’m not crazy interested in these but I might give them a go haven’t decided.

This is actual a pretty low value for a Walmart Box. The sizes and variety were really good and we didn’t get a bunch of repeats which had started to happen so still pretty happy with it.

Macy’s Beauty Box March 2023

Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon with a purchase amount which I hate (SUCH A DOWNGRADE), 5 deluxe samples and 1 bonus sample. Why not just say 6? I don’t get it. Lately we have been getting between 6 and 8 items per month you never really know how many things you are going to get.

All the brands will be brands you can find in Macy’s which is cool since they sell Mac and a lot of other brands that are never to rarely seen in subscription boxes.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel

Full Size: 7.85 ml

Full Size Cost: $22

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $4.20

I don’t use brow gel but this is so tiny and cute!

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Beso

Full Size: 3 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $12

These are some of my favorite liquid lipsticks the formula and colors are so great. They are long wearing I really love them.

Korres Foaming Cream Cleanser

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $28

Sample Size: 20 ml

Value: $3.73

I feel like I have tried this and hated it but I can’t remember so I guess I will try it again.

Laura Geller Prep Stick Lip Scrub

Full Size: 4.5 g

Full Size Cost: $21

Well this is full size which is nice and it smells fruity but it it isn’t super scrubby looking or feeling when I rubbed it on my hand so I don’t have high hopes that this will be that good.

Rachel Zoe Fearless Perfume

This came totally empty and customer service is such a pain with Macy’s that I don’t want to fight over a $2 perfume sample.

Nudestix Magnetic Luminous Eye Color in Nudity

Full Size: 3 g (plus mirrored case and sharpener)

Full Size Cost: $27

Sample Size: 2.5 g

Value: $20

I have a few of these and they are really great I just don’t use shadow sticks enough to justify opening and keeping this knowing it is in a brown shade similar to ones I already have open. But they are really great quality and this is almost full size.

You Are Amazing Post-it Notes

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $3

This is random but useful. It is totally something you could get at the dollar store but it feels pretty high quality so I will give it more value then that sometimes these random things they include are so so cheap feeling. It is cute it isn’t my taste.

This was a really good box like im not even mad about them empty perfume. I will say their shipping is all over the place the February box came on March 1st and this came 14 days later like what why.

Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon with a purchase amount which I hate (SUCH A DOWNGRADE), 5 deluxe samples and 1 bonus sample. Why not just say 6? I don’t get it. Lately we have been getting between 6 and 8 items per month you never really know how many things you are going to get.

All the brands will be brands you can find in Macy’s which is cool since they sell Mac and a lot of other brands that are never to rarely seen in subscription boxes.

This was a packed box for sure.

Lip Printed Reusable Makeup Wipes

Full Size: 7 Wipes

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 2 Wipes

Value: $5.72

These aren’t Makeup Eraser brand but I would bet money they were private labeled by them for Macy’s they feel the exact same. Makeup Eraser had a pattern like this at one point they are even trimmed and stitched exactly the same. So I am going to use a mini makeup eraser set as a value thing because they are identical. These aren’t my favorite things to remove my makeup with because I like to use makeup remover but they are super soft so I will use them with makeup removed even though that kinda stains them. I love getting reusable practical items in boxes.

Barbor Ampoule Concentrates Perfect Glow

Full Size: 14 ml/7 ampoules

Full Size Cost: $42.90

We have gotten sets like this from this brand at least 2 times before but they haven’t repeated the actual type so that is good. These are crazy expensive for something that you do have long enough to see lasting results. I don’t care for this packaging either I know it is supposed to be more hygienic and keep the ingredients fresher but I am always scared they are going to shatter when I open them and it is kinda wasteful.

Lancome Lash Idole Mascara

Full Size: 8 ml

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 2.5 ml

Value: $9.38

I don’t typically care for Lancome mascara they usually make my eyes a little itchy. So I am just going to pass this on to some one who I’m sure would be more excited to have it I have plenty of mascaras.

Paco Rabanne Fame Perfume

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $106

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $3.18

I am always struck by khow expensive Paco Rabanne Fragrances are. The bottles are super cute, I didn’t know that they made women’s perfume so I am excited to try this it has almost a spring vibe.

Nyx Butter Gloss in Creme Brulee

Full Size: 8 ml

Full Size Cost: $5

Sample Size: 4.7 ml

Value: $2.94

Everytime they do this it annoys me. This is a $5 lipgloss you can’t include the full size really making this mini size packaging has to cost more then just including a full size. These glosses are beloved I don’t care for them they are very sticky and not my thing. This color is also pretty milky pink.

Lorac Single Eyeshadow in Primrose

Full Size: 0.7 g

Full Size Cost: $8

Full size which is great I can’t find this shade but opal looks pretty similar. I am pretty sure I own this shade in a Lorac palette or something very similar so I don’t need it and I rarely use singles.

Mineral Fusion Nail Polish in Wine Not?

Full Size: 10 ml

Full Size Cost: $9.99

These nail polishes are really streaky and awful. This is also really brown for a wine shade.

Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Eye Base

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $58

Sample Size: 3 ml

Value: $11.60

Well that is ridiculous price. This is giving Special moisurizer for your elbow vibes because why exactly do I need a special eye primer for under my eyes? Like I’m going to try it but like why that is so extra and ridiculous.

Well the value and variety were certainly there this month so I can’t really complain even if alot of the items weren’t to my particular taste.
