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.

Less items then usual this time but a really good box still two full size items and a brand new item that I have been pretty curious about so its really a cool box.

Sundae Whipped Shower Foam in Passionfruit Pop

Full Size: 260 g

Full Size Cost: $15.98

This smells so good I can really smell the Lime, Plum and Passionfruit. I don’t normally love these whipped body wash but this smells so good that I will give it a try anyway.

Olay Cleansing Melts

Full Size: 12 pads

Full Size Cost: $4.94

Sample Size: 4 pads

Total Value: $1.65

These are definitely the most affordable single use washing cloths I have seen. I would never use these as an all the time face wash but I am super excited to try these next month while I am traveling and see if this can be a viable travel option because this could be exactly what I have been wanting.

Covergirl Perfect Point Plush Lashline Micro Eye Pencil

Full Size: 0.06 g

Full Size Cost: $7.98

This is tiny but also kinda scratchy Idk how well this will go for me i don’t like scratchy liners.

Nautica Blue Cologne

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $16.08

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Total Value: $0.19

Well as value goes this is kinda worthless but it smells nice it’ll get used up.

I’m so excited about the face wash and the body was that I don’t care that the other two items are pretty so so.

FabFitFun Box Fall 2024

nightmareb4

FabFitFun Box

Cost: $54.99 a Season Annual/$59.99 Seasonal

Cycle: Every Season/4x a year

What is it: Every season FabFitFun sends 6 to 8 items valued at $300+. Annual members get to customize their entire box as well as the option to swap out for credit to shop with instead of getting a box. Annual members also get add-ons and faster shipping and earlier access to customizations.

Seasonal Members get to pick 4 of their items as well as the option to swap out their box for credit to shop with as well.

I use this box alot for needs and gifts and this was heavy on the things that are gifts with Christmas being right around the corner. About the mold situation from last time they ended up just giving me a $25 dollar credit to the shop so I was able to just spend it on some stuff so that was the resolution there.

Blume Power Patches

Full Size Cost: $15

That is an insane price for 4 nose strips like these better be the best nose strips in the world. I like to have one or two on hand in case of nose black head emergencies but these are super bad for your skin in general and something I use like once or twice a year at max.

Dove Plant Milk Cleansing Bar in Coconut Milk & Sugar Lychee

Full Size Cost: $5.97

This was like a free gift they threw in I didn’t choose this. It smells great but I don’t use bar soap.

Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment in Cocoa Creme

Full Size Cost: $22

I don’t know if I am going to like this. It is a nice brown sheer color but it is really sticky and doesn’t taste much like chocolate.

Elemis Superfood Glow Cleansing Balm

Full Size Cost: $45

I don’t love the Elemis cleansing balms the texture doesn’t do it for me and they don’t remove makeup but I couldn’t resist the temptation to try the pretty orange glowy one. So here’s hoping I do not regret choosing this.

Marlyn Schiff Adjustable Pave Multi Disc Ring

Full Size Cost: $42

This is an item I grabbed as a gift it kinda give slight Kendra Scott Vibes.

Ellie Vail Ilavia Medium Hoop Earrings

Full Size Cost: $62

This price is a little crazy these are not even gold plated but they are stainless steel and waterproof. I grabbed these to have for gifting they are nicer then I thought but not $62 dollars nice.

Puma Evercat Myriad Slingback Bag

Full Size Cost: $45

I saw this and instantly had to choose it it perfectly matches a pair of puma sneakers my aunt has and I can’t wait to give it to her. It is super cute nice quality has a few pockets it is really nice.

Half Gifts and half beauty stuff that I can use. Kinda meh for a fall box was not feeling the fall vibes here.

Value: $236.97

Macy’s Beauty Box July 2024

nightmareb41 Comment

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.

Fan

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $1.31

I like fans like this for drying my setting spray and such and my current one was getting a bit old so this is nice to have it is paper and very like party favor quality so I don’t think this will hold up for a long time.

Valentino Born in Roma

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $135

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $3.24

I have had a few samples of this I don’t think I like it and I have so many perfumes I need to get through that I will pass this along.

Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $135

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $31.50

I am sick of seeing this sample and I don’t think it does anything.

NudeStix NudeScreen Lip Primer SPF 30

Full Size: 10 ml

Full Size Cost: $20

Well this was not what I was expecting at all. This comes out like a nude brown it is very liquidy and feels a bit tingly on. not it blends nicely into the lips but it is not something you can put on with out a mirror so for me that defeats the point of a lip balm with sunscreen since I primarily use them when I am out and about. I will give this a fair shot but I do not see this lasting long in my life.

Kiehl’s Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $79

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7.90

I like vitamin C and will probably just use this up this month it has been awhile since I have used a vitamin C for brightening.

Kopari Sun Shield Soft Glow Daily Face SPF 30

Full Size: 44 ml

Full Size Cost: $38

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $4.32

Always down to try a new face sunscreen.

First Aid Beauty Bump Eraser Body Scrub

Full Size: 8 oz

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 1 oz

Value: $3.75

I have like enough of these samples now that I think I have a full size tube. I really should use them
