Wander Beauty Glowtion

Full Size: 32.2 ml

Full Size Cost: $34

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $5.28

Considering how small this sample is it is worth more then I would have guessed. Now the full size comes with a highlighter as well but the sample does not. There was not alot in this tube I have used it twice and I think I have 1 maybe 2 more uses left in the tube.  As far as glowy lotions go this is not that great it does make my skin look healthy but it is pretty tacky and not overly glowy.  My skin also doesn’t feel clogged or gross after but I prefer my Glamglow lotion to this by far.

Mellow Matte Lipstick in Candy Floss

Full Size: 3.8 g

Full Size Cost: $15

Sample Size: 3.8 g

Value: $15

I am not even taking the plastic off this I know I won’t use it.  This is a Barbie neon pink lipstick like the label color. I hear good things about these lipsticks but I have never been sent a color I would ever wear.

Ofra Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Exquisite

Full Size: 4 g

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 4 g

Value: $12

This is not super pigmented it really needs to be build up and I like more strong black shade. I haven’t had huge luck with Ofra shadows they aren’t bad but they are not my favorite either. I find them to have too much fall out through out the day. Swatched Below.

Sugar Stroke of Genius Heavy-Duty Khol Eyeliner in 03 Green Light

Full Size: 1.2 g

Full Size Cost: $13.99

Sample Size: 1.2 g

Value: $13.99

This seems to be out of stock and I can only find it in black which really sucks because I really liked this alot. I love khol eyeliners and this went on so smooth and creamy but stayed pigmented and didn’t smudge in my waterline. I hope I can find more because I really liked this alot. Swatched Below.

You can really see the lack of pigment in the eyeshadow.

Z Skin Acne Spot Treatment

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $17

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $5.67

I have been really on the hunt for a new spot treatment and have been really curious about Z skin for awhile so I am super happy with this sample. Can’t wait to see what kind of results I can get.  Z Skin is a herbal and organic skincare company with a few different lines  for acne, anti aging and so on.


I was really happy with this month’s bag more happy then I was with this month’s Boxycharm, which is double the cost.  I am so happy with the eyeliner and getting 3 full size products.
