Sadly this is my last month of Beauteque BB Bag. It was a Christmas git and while I enjoyed it it is not worth the money for me personally.

Also I am so sorry for the way late post, and the other way late posts you’re going to see in the near future. I’ve had a very crazy busy past month and a half with school and life and I just haven’t had the time that I want to dedicate to this but hopefully things are calming down enough that I can get all caught up.

Enough rambling onto the bag.

So Beauteque provides a nice detailed information card, that also lists the price of each item. And as usual sizes and prices are all over hte place compared to the guide.

They also included a code for 10% and the code is BBREFER10.

This month’s theme was Beauty Resolutions

So I hate the bag it is a plastic vinyl like cheap pool toy material.

Deoproce Cleanbello Collagen Essential Moisture Cream

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $16.99

Sample Size: 50 ml

Value: $16.99

This has a heavy old school grandma floral lotion smell to it. It is so strong that I don’t know if I can bring myself to use this. It is a very thick moisturizing lotion.

Mohani Perfect Damage Care Perfume Body Wash

Full Size: 5 oz

Full Size Cost: $11.99

Sample Size: 4.23 oz

Value: $10.14

I think it is so weird that they sent a body wash and shampoo and not a conditioner. But whatever. Its also weird that this is 4.23 oz and the website lists full site as 5 oz. So strange but they also make a ton of spelling errors so who knows whats right. This smells very clean and fresh is the only way I can describe it.

Mohani Perfect Damage Care Perfume Shampoo

Full Size: 5 oz

Full Size Cost: $11.99

Sample Size: 4.05 oz

Value: $9.71

Next up on the weird sizing is the shampoo which is even smaller then the body wash but same size bottle. I don’t fucking understand. This smells the same as the body wash.

Tonymoly Pocket Bunny Moist Mist

Full Size: 60 ml

Full Size Cost: $9.48

Sample Size: 60 ml

Value: $9.48

This has a light fruity scent. And just look at his little bunny face so cute!!!!! On the negative side this sprays very uneven and in bigger droplets so I would not spray this on your face if you have makeup on like you can with other facial mists. This is great for me for like my night moisture I find mists don’t sit so heavy and clog up my oily skin like a cream would.

Scinic It’s a Tint in RD02

Full Size: yes

Full Size Cost: $4.99

Sample Size: yes

Value: $4.99

I really like this it might be my favorite thing in the box. It is a nice twist up lip crayon in red one of my favorite lip colors to wear. It is creme finish but it does stick around ok I really like it.

Beauteque Eyebrow Shaping Scissors

Full Size: yes

Full Size Cost: $5

Sample Size: yes

Value: $5

This kinda scares me and I don’t scare easily. I wax my own eyebrows so it takes a bit to actually make me nervous but I feel like I would cut chunks in my eyebrows trying to use this. Anyone out there use a product like this does it work for you? I could not find this on the website so I went with their listed value of $5.

Total Value: $56.31

This was an ok box certainly didn’t wow me into renewing my subscription but almost all the products will get used or at least tried.

So Beauteque provides a nice detailed information card, that also lists the price of each item. Later on you’ll once again see that I found these to be less then accurate.

They also included a code for 10% and the code is BBREFER10.

So I’m not much of a fan of the bags they have sent. I have no need for more make up bags as I would assume most beauty junkies and subscription box addicts have more then enough at this point. I would prefer another product instead or even just do with out.

Scinic All Day Pore Control Toner

Full Size: 9.5 oz

Full Size Cost: $21.99

Sample Size: 6.76 oz

Value: $15.65

I am was super excited to get this. It is a liquid and powder toner, so there is a powder in the toner and you shake to combine and it is supposed to dry to a powdery matte finish on the skin. It is supposed to help mattify skin and clear out sebum in your pores and that is definitely a skincare concern of mine. I used this toner after cleansing my face with the cleansers I received in this box. It has a nice fresh lightly bamboo smell to it. It left my skin tight smooth and dry, but not mattified.  I can not attest to the long term effects of controlling sebum but I do plan to continue using this.

Tsaio Charcoal Deep Purifying Cleanser

Full Size: 100 g

Full Size Cost: $11.99

Sample Size: 100 g

Value: $11.99

Another product I was super excited about, I love charcoal masks and skin care they work really well with my skin so a charcoal cleanser is something I will totally use up. This has charcoal, bergamot and lemon as the first three ingredients which seems like a nice line up and I like that I can pronounce all the major ingredients.  This product comes out of the tube as a silvery/grey creamy paste it is a little weird to describe. It lathers up to a thin lather on the skin and washes away easily.  My skin felt clean but not that dry squeaky clean feeling.

Holika Holika Pig Nose Clear Steam Starter

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $5

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $5

So this is a cool product its like a little mini mask for your blackheads.  You massage it on for 3 to 5 minutes and then rinse off and it is supposed to loosen blackheads and absorb oils. It is a clear get that warms up as you rub it in, they don’t mention that in the info card.  This made my skin feel very sticky, but the toner took away the sticky feeling and cooled my skin.  I did notice this baling up a little after I had rubbed it in. I do not know if this is from actually clearing pores or just the product itself balling up I did not see an immediate difference. This product is $7 on the memebox website and is on sale for $5 as of right now.

Kinepin Wheet Feet Stone

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $4.99

Nothing super special about a pumice stone but a solid usable product all the same. It is a nice size as well. Not quite the $8 value they claim though.

Holika Holika Golden Monkey Lip Patch

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $4

Oh this is cool I have been dying to try one of these lip mask things and my lips have been so chapped lately. I can’t wait to use this and have a little lip pamper session before a night out. The monkeys are so cute.

Vov Color Song Eyes in 7244 She’s a Golden Beige

Full Size: 2 g

Full Size Cost: $10.99

Sample Size: 2 g

Value: $10.99

I wish I had gotten a different shade golden glimmer eye shadows are just so common I feel but it is very smooth and soft with a really fine glitter shimmer to it.  I think this will look really pretty as a highlight so that is how I intend to try it out. Swatched below.

---

Total: $52.62

Listed Value: $68.47

Just like last month the box came very late and the value is lower than the listed value. Putting all that aside I am in love with this month’s box and really excited to use all of these products and it was literally a box made for my skin type even those they don’t customize by skin type. I imagine people with dry skin will not be pleased with this month’s box but last month’s box was more about moisture so there is a balance.

So lets jump on into this review its gona be a bumpy ride. Spoiler Alert I wasn’t that happy.

Premium Deoproce Strawberry Yogurt Massage Cream

Full Size: 300 g

Full Size Cost: $13.99

Sample Size: 300 g

Value: $13.99

So this is a huge tub with a ton of product unfortunately it is worth significantly less than the listed value.  I also found it here for a shocking $4.22 rather than the $22 that Beauteque listed.  The product smells really nice and I patch tested it left my skin with a decent amount of glow but it is a lot more moisturizing then I would like to put on my face.  Also the last time I used a strawberry product on my face I broke out horribly with itchy red painful pimples it was very weird and I have shied away from Strawberry products since but I may give this a try since the patch test seems to have gone ok.

Tsaio Traveler’s Herb Diary Herbal Blend Body Care Kit

Full Size: 90 ml

Full Size Cost: $12.99

Sample Size: 90 ml

Value: $12.99

So this has super cute packaging and I love the convenience of a little travel set all in its own bag.  This again was not worth the listed price and it is a little odd that it doesn’t come with conditioner.  I was also really put off by the fact that each little bottle has the same spiel about making your skin look good including the shampoo feel like something got lost in translation.

 

VOV Lip Care Balm

Full Size: 10 g

Full Size Cost: $2.67

Sample Size: 10 g

Value: $2.67

This came with the cutest fruit basket design but it was just on the wrapper.  This reminds me of something you would pick up at the dollar store and way under the listed value. It seems to have been either sold out or removed both from Beauteque and from Amazon. I do not like pot style lip product that I have to dip my fingers into I feel like they are just dirty and germy and do not prefer them.  This balm is very moisturizing and has a really nice fruit/strawberry candy smell and a sheer pink tint that did not swatch well.

Yadah Claude Monet Hand Cream in Quai du Louvre

Full Size: 40 ml

Full Size Cost: $7.99

Sample Size: 40 ml

Value: $7.99

Very light hand cream and I do love the art packaging.  I wish I had either received two different ones or a totally different product rather than having two of the exact same thing which seems like a waste of a space in the box.  It is worth almost double the listed value which is nice considering the other products.

VOV Nail Polish in Orange

Full Size: Yes, amount unknown

Full Size Cost: $7.50

Value: $7.50

So I as anyone who reads this or knows me knows I HATE nail polish and never use it so I gave this away and forgot to take a picture oops, sorry.  It was in a really hideous orange color, I also am not fond of the color orange.  This was sent separately which I appreciate that way if it broke it would not ruin everything.  I could not find this for sale anywhere so I will use the listed value it was definitely full size though.

Cuticle Cutter

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $7.50

Value: $3.99

These have a nice sturdy feeling to them and very sharp blades.  There is even a little attachment to push back your cuticles which is a nice bonus.  There is even a cover for the blades these are pretty great I have little use for them but I have no complaints about this product.  They are currently on sale so I am going to use that price in my value calculation.

---

Box Total: $57.12

Listed Total: $65

I am not really happy with either the curation or the value of this box.  I have yet to receive my December box and Beauteque is going to have to do a lot to impress me.  I do not recommend this box as of right now.
