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.
Alright Walmart box one of my favorites let’s see what you have for me this season.
At least we are getting a new flavor this time but we have gotten this in like every box for the last year and a half lol. I don’t really like Liquid IV i find them too sweet but they are good in a pinch if I don’t have anything else and need electrolytes.
I love Aquaphor and this is kinda like that so it’ll be cool to try a different type. I always have to have a skin protectant ointment on hang it just has so many uses.
I am actually pretty excited to try this I really like the GrandeLash Mascara and I kinda hope this is a dupe to that because this is way cheaper. It has the growth serum stuff in it and I have been super slacking on using my growth serum its been months so I need to get back on that.
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.
These things are just not my jam. I don’t use my skincare in a way where I would want to turn a non mask product into a face mask so this is just not for me. I linked to a random one at target but these can range from cheap to very pricey.
This is a full travel size you can buy which is funny it is so tiny. I am just so sick of seeing this mask I have gotten it so many times. It was also a replacement from a new pore clearing anti aging mask that I would have really really liked to try so that really sucks.
So I have a full size of this I have never tried. I plan to chuck this with my travel stuff because a detangler is great to like have with you and i never really see small size ones.
I just don’t really ever see the hype in Clarins products they don’t often do anything special for me. This is going to be pretty thick I can assume already.
I like Ahava lotions I don’t mind having another one of these even though this is another product we get in the Macy’s Box constantly.
Well I am happy with the amount of products we got this month even though alot are misses for me I don’t love that this feels like a box of leftovers of things we have gotten frequently in the past. Also a pretty low value for Macy’s not super pleased with that either.
Alright only one month to go definitely not going to meet my goals this year but that is ok it is what it is.

Repurchase: No
Exuviance Radiance Serum this was fine I got two uses out of it was very oily it that isn’t your jam.
Repurchase: No
Peach Slices Acne Clarifying Cleanser this was very gentle for an acne cleanser. I don’t really have a need to buy acne cleansers anymore because when I do get breakouts which is still all the damn time its more of a hormonal thing and I just treat it I don’t have a constant acne problem like I did as a teenager.
Repurchase: No

Repurchase: No
The Creme Shop Fusion Sheet Mask in Tumeric and Matcha this stayed on well it felt nice it made my skin look glowy not a bad mask.

Lip (2)
Unplugged Book Box Lip Balm in Iris Hollow this was nice it had a really woodsy almost vanilla scent but it wasn’t the most moisturizing lip balm ever.

Repurchase: No
Lotion (4)
Completely Bare Don’t Grow There this was actually really nice after shaving it left my legs smooth and it had an after-shave effect on closing pores and little nicks. Can’t say it did much for reducing hair growth though.
Repurchase: Maybe
Bath and Body Word Body Lotion in Strawberry Pound Cake I loved this. It smelled so good like really strawberry pound cake I really really loved using this.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hand Gel Cream this was two watery and scent wasn’t quite the same as the big body cream is I did not like this as much.
Repurchase: No
Petrichor Ink Whipped Body Frosting in Princess Beatrice this was a very dainty vanilla scent probably from the apple notes in it. It absorbed well but was not the most moisturizing better for the summer then the fall and winter.

Natural Pure Honest Salt Scrub in Cabeswater this was a really great scrub very scrubby and had oils in it that left me moisturized very not in the axe teenage boy scent of this.
Repurchase: No
Perfume (3)
Burberry Brit Sheer for Her this was nice a very light florally very spring and summery perfume.
Repurchase: No, I have so much perfume.
I Heart Juciy Couture Perfume this was always going to be a risk as a perfume the notes are taffy apple, which love, tiger lily, which is super hit or miss for me, and patchouli, which is a big no for me. At first the taffy apple carried this along but I’ve just been picking up the patchouli more and more and I can’t stand it. I made it through half the bottle but I can’t do it anymore so this is one of those declutters but I’ve used up half so I am counting it.
Repurchase: No
Pinrose Pillowtalk Poet Perfume this was not my thing too soft.
Repurchase: No
Haircare (1)
Briogeo Scalp Revival Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo this was an ok scalp scrub not as good as the Christophe Robin one I usually use.
