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.
I literally cannot believe it is June and Summer and like wow where has this year gone.
Skincare (10)
Avene Thermal Spring Water this was just water in a can it was nothing I would buy or recommend it just made my face wet it didn’t give me that refreshed feeling I like my facial sprays to give me.
Repurchase: No
Derma E Overnight Peel this did nothing.
Repurchase: No
Dermalogica Prisma Protect Spf 30 I really didn’t care for this it was very sticky and heavy. It worked well but I just really hated how long it took to sink in.
Repurchase: No
Makeup Revolution Skincare Pick-Me-Not Blemish Patches these are ok they help reduce the size and inflammation a bit but they don’t fully heal it but they help a lot with keeping me from touching pimple which is good.
Repurchase: Maybe
Laura Mercier Illuminating Eye Cream so I thought this would be one use I actually got like 3 or 4 uses out of this. It was nice it was hydrating and really thick but it is far to pricey compare to even really expensive eye creams that I like.
Repurchase: No, I would use it again but I wouldn’t buy it
The Creme Shop Fusion Sheet Mask in Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid this was a great mask I have had good experiences with crème shop masks they stay on well and my face fully absorbs the essence which is great.
Repurchase: Yes
Covergirl Clean Fresh Skincare Weightless Water Cream I really liked this it is a water cream gel smooth texture that I just find really pleasing my skin felt nice. It was a little tacky but it didn’t bother me. I really liked this.
Repurchase: Yes
Elizabeth Arden Vitamin C Radiance Renewal Serum Capsules these are fine I like the oil consistency of them but I really don’t care for the little pod format where you have to break them open I just find it inconvenient and a waste of my time.
Repurchase: No
Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream this was fine I think it did a little brightening but nothing that special for the price.
Repurchase: No
Maapilim Exfoliating Solution I think this worked and my skin was a bit softer in the morning but there were only three or four uses in this bottle and it is kinda hard to say.
Repurchase: No
Random (1)
Degree MotionSense Ultraclear Deodorant in Pure Rain this is always and forever my favorite deodorant though I am starting to really fall in love with the dove ones so it make get usurped that remains to be seen.
Repurchase: Yes
Home Scents (3)
Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Sugared Snickerdoodle this was fine I liked it I like sweet scents I feel like the quality of wallflowers has kinda gone down since they raised the prices.
Repurchase: Maybe
Nest Candle in Bamboo this was a lot better then the grapefruit it had a real spa/grassy type of scent and it did really fill the room but holy heck it is so pricey I just can’t justify that.
Repurchase: No
Bath and Body Works Tomato Vine Candle this is a very old candle that I had kinda shoved to the back of my cabinet. I really like those herbal garden but not flower scents so this was unique at the time but not so much unique now.
Repurchase: No
Lotion (1)
The Bath Apothecary Body Lotion in Arawiya this was meh nothing to even really say because I don’t remember it was very thin and I used it up pretty quick.
Repurchase: No
Bodycare (2)
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Shower Smoothie in Sandra Dee I didn’t care for this scent it almost smelled masculine to me which doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense. Also I felt like I needed a lot of this product to get a good lather. I will say great packaging though this is a really thick product so having a really easy to squeeze bottle like this was a necessity.
Repurchase: No
Zest Tssss! Sauna Steamy Shower Scrub I loved this so much and I am so sad that they don’t make this anymore I loved the sauna-y scent I loved the scrub level. I really loved that it was warm when I used it. I just am so sad. I really milked this forever because I loved it so much.
Repurchase: I would
Haircare (2)
Not Your Mother’s Anti-Frizz Smooth Moves Shampoo
Not Your Mother’s Anti-Frizz Smooth Moves Conditioner
These were fine I have wanted to try them for a while they were nice enough I might consider them in the future but I feel like I am always trying to try new products to find something for my very uncooperative hair.
Repurchase: Maybe
Declutter (5)
FCS Linen Spray in King of the World I just don’t really like this scent so I will pass it along. I do love using their linen sprays though.
Nyx Matte Liquid Liner in Black this is terrible. It smears it isn’t long wearing it isn’t even that easy to apply.
Nioxin Scalp Relief Scalp & Hair Conditioner this is not moisturizing enough for my dry hair.
Pacifica Mineral Face Stick SPF 50 I wanted to like this because Pacifica sunscreens don’t break me out but so many also don’t work for me this is super heavy and left such a terrible sticky white cast on me that took forever to blend in and be comfortable and I just can’t.
Physicians Formula The Healthy Lip Velvet Liquid Lipstick in Dose of Rose this was just not I color I loved and since the formula is pretty generic there is not reason for me to keep it.
Well I definitely didn’t use up much this month but that is just how this whole year seems to be going.
What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon (that used to it) 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.
Another Brand takeover this month and we have Laura Mercier I like the concept of brand take overs but I haven’t really been impressed with them so far.
I mean I know this is like the star product from this brand but like who hasn’t tried this. It is fine for a setting powder if a bit heavy.
Laura Mercier Illuminating Eye Cream
Full Size: 15 ml
Full Size Cost: $58
Sample Size: 1 ml
Value: $3.87
Well this is a really expensive eye cream to not have any actives. This is like one use at most here so I don’t see how this is even worth putting in this box.
This jar is very nice for a little sample. This had that fancy old skincare scent that I don’t particularly like. I know this is supposed to wear really well under makeup so that is kinda cool and something different.
I have this already probably got it from a Macy’s box who remembers. These are really nice shadow sticks they blend well they wear well. This color is very basic and neutral and not my favorite of all the color options but a very good product.
