nightmareb4

Walmart Beauty Box

Cost: $5

Cycle: Every Quarter/Season

What is it: Every season Walmart sends out a box of samples and sometimes coupons in their “free” subscription box. The box is a flat shipping rate of $5 and the box is considered free.  There are two categories of boxes “Trendsetter” which you receive if you provide a birth date that has you aged at under 35 and “Classic” if you provide a birth date that has you aged above 35.

Another great box from Walmart this really is such a good subscription box I really do recommend it to everyone.

Salon Perfect Nail Set in Design

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $4.94

I don’t like having long nails so these are not for me but I mean a full nail set that you could potential get to full sets out of that’s pretty awesome and this alone is 6 cents shy of the cost of the box. Also considering most people cant go to the nail salon right now what a good thing to get in the box. I think the marble is really cool nails are just not for me.

Biore Rose Quartz + Charcoal Daily Purifying Cleanser

Full Size: 200 ml

Full Size Cost: $6.47

Sample Size: 29 ml

Total Value: $0.94

First off who is out here wanting glitter in their face wash? Second of all how is my cleanser radiating self love please what am I missing here? This feels like random buzzword vomit lol. Besides all that I normally like Biore products alot so I am keen to chuck this in with my travel stuff to use up that way. The glitter is that small pearlesent kind so I don’t think it is going to leave glitter on my face.

Suave Professionals for Natural Hair Curl Defining Cream

Full Size: 355 ml

Full Size Cost: $4.98

Sample Size: 2 x 15 ml

Total Value: $0.21 each

I don’t have curly hair so I will pass this along but it does make me interested about the leave in conditioners from this line and there was a coupon. These products are really affordable.

Natural Vitality Calm in Raspberry-Lemon Flavor

Full Size: 453 g

Full Size Cost: $23.09

Sample Size: 3.3 g

Total Value: $0.17

I have heard so much about this specific Magnesium supplement drink. I have taken Magnesium supplements before and have felt alot of benefit from them (I should really take them more consistently). I have heard this is really fast acting and god for anxiety so I am really looking forward to putting that to the test probably sooner then I would prefer.

Hello Antiplaque + Whitening Fluoride Free Toothpaste in Natural Peppermint

Full Size: 4.7 oz

Full Size Cost: $3.97

Sample Size: 1 oz

Total Value: $0.84

This I am kinda disappointed in I don’t like or use fluoride free toothpaste. I may throw this in with travel stuff I may pass it along I just don’t feel like there is a huge amount of purpose to a fluoride free toothpaste once you are old enough to know not to eat your toothpaste.

Hello Charcoal Infused Toothbrush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $3.96

I have wanted to try this toothbrush since I found out about it back in like January and haven’t had the chance. I love really soft charcoal tooth brushes and the all black sleekness of it super appeals to me. So happy about this.

If Walmart can give me one to two full size items every time Ipsy could do it too. The value of the things I will use is over the value of the shipping and the items are both bractical and fun.

Quick Summary:

Total Value: $11.27

Skincare: 1

Makeup: 0

Tools: 1

Hair Care: 2

Perfume: 0

Other: 3

I always enjoy my Walmart box can’t beat a $5 box where you really have no idea what is coming. This came really late for a fall box it came on Christmas Eve.

LaLaFox Honey Sheet Mask

Full Size: 1 Mask

Full Size Cost: $2

Sample Size: 1 Mask

Total Value: $2

I really loved this it was super soothing and moisturizing I love honey in skincare it works well for my skin. There was also almost a full ounce of serum stuff in this mask packet that I was able to put in a little jar and will be able to use as a moisturizer/sleeping mask for probably a week. Which is a great bonus A+.

Nyx Lip Lingerie in Silk Indulgent

Full Size: 4 ml

Full Size Cost: $4.99

Sample Size: 4 ml

Total Value: $4.99

I have heard good reviews of this line but the colors have never really spoke to me. This one is really ballerina pink and I am not fond of it. I will probably give it a go because I am curious about the formula but I doubt I will like it because of the pink color.

Jergens Body Butter Collection Triple Butter Blend in Lavender

Full Size: 207 ml

Full Size Cost: $5.39

Sample Size: 29 ml

Total Value: $0.76

I recently saw these body butters in store and was really interested in the citrus one from the collection because I love citrus scents lavender scents not as much. This is a really soft lavender so I can tolerate it and it will give me a feel for if I like the lotion enough to try the citrus one. Not that I need anymore lotion.

Bic Soleil Sensitive 3 Blade Razor

Full Size: 3 Razors

Full Size Cost: $5.69

Sample Size: 1 Razor

Total Value: $1.90

Last season I got this with a pink handle and this season with a green. My feelings are that same. I don’t mind a repeat of a razor since this a disposable tool that I go through pretty frequently and I like having it individually wrapped making it super convenient to pack which is what i save these cheaper fewer bladed razors for.

Degree MotionSense Dry Spray in Ultraclear

Full Size: 107 g

Full Size Cost: $4.99

Sample Size: 28 g

Total Value: $1.31

I like this antiperspirant in the stick form but I have never tried it in a spray form. I love having all these travel size toiletries that I need but aren’t the most fun to buy and Walmart always keeps me stocked with them. I am pretty hyper to try this since I am so used to regular stick deodorants.

I like the fun and the price of Walmart’s boxes. Only a few items this month but three of them were full size so it is really hard to complain about that.

Walmart Fall 2018 Beauty Box Subscription Review

Walmart Beauty Box

Cost: $5

Cycle: Every Quarter/Season

What is it: Every season Walmart sends out a box of samples and sometimes coupons in their “free” subscription box. The box is a flat shipping rate of $5 and the box is considered free.  There are two categories of boxes “Trendsetter” which you receive if you provide a birth date that has you aged at under 35 and “Classic” if you provide a birth date that has you aged above 35.

This is oddly one of my favorite sub boxes I get because you never really know what you are going to get sometimes its amazing and sometimes its just good but the stuff is always affordable if you fall in love with it and easy to get. There were a lot of products this month.

My camera is kinda on the fritz so bare with these really eh pictures.

Normally Walmart sends boxes that are really high quality with a lid and pretty designs that are good to reuse but this month it was just a normal not high quality shipping type box.

Biore Charcoal Cleansing Micellar Water

Full Size: 295 ml

Full Size Cost: $6.47

Sample Size: 73 ml

Total Value: $1.60

I don’t like micellar water but I do love charcoal so I will give this a whirl but I have a feeling I am not going to like it. This is such a cute little bottle though and would be a perfect little travel size.

Hello Activated Charcoal Whitening Toothpaste

Full Size: 4 oz

Full Size Cost: $4.82

Sample Size: 1 oz

Total Value: $1.21

I love charcoal toothpaste a lot and I really enjoy the taste and texture of Hello toothpaste so this is a great thing for me I am all about it. I feel like charcoal really does clean and whiten my teeth.

Kleenex Wet Wipes

Full Size: 24 wipes

Full Size Cost: $1.49

Sample Size: 1 wipe

Total Value: $0.06

So we got a little pack of these in last seasons box and this season we are getting a little single use one. I like to keep these in the car for those inevitable messes that occur when you pretty much live in your car. These are a fine wet wipe nothing special does its job.

Soo Ae My Collagen Hydrogel Lip Patch

Full Size: 1 Lip Patch

Full Size Cost: $2.50

Sample Size: 1 Lip Patch

Total Value: $2.50

I like lip patches like this they are soothing and moisturizing and usually taste good. This has strawberry, blueberry, bearberry (wtf?) cranberry and blackberry extracts so I have high hopes for this.

Cetaphil Hydrating Eye-Gel Cream

Full Size: 14 ml

Full Size Cost: $7.73

Sample Size: 2 ml

Total Value: $1.10

I love testing out new eye creams trying to find one that actually seems to do something.

Nivea Aloe Vera Body Lotion

Full Size: 500 ml

Full Size Cost: $5.48

Sample Size: 4 ml

Total Value: $0.04

This was very sticky and smelled very aloey which I didn’t like. I can say that this was just about one full body worth of application like maybe needed on more ml so I guess you get alot of worth for your money out of this lotion. Idk.

La Bella Smoothing Shampoo

Full Size: 22 oz

Full Size Cost: $2.64

Sample Size: 0.25 oz

Total Value: $0.03

I weirdly don’t trust this shampoo because of how cheap it is and I have never heard of it before maybe that’s snobby but I already rarely use real shampoo so that is me.

La Bella Max Hold Styling Gel

Full Size: 35.3 oz

Full Size Cost: $2.82

Sample Size: 0.25 oz

Total Value: $0.02

I don’t use gel but my gf does so I am gonna make her use this and see what she thinks.

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Very Black

Full Size: 12.7 ml

Full Size Cost: $4.44

Sample Size: 4.5 ml

Total Value: $1.57

I have never tried this. This was the mascara my mother used for like my whole life like this is the iconic standard of mascara so it’ll be pretty fun to try this and see if it is as good as all the mascaras I use.

Maybelline Master Precise All Day Liquid Liner in Black

Full Size: 0.9 ml

Full Size Cost: $7.99

Sample Size: 0.6 ml

Total Value: $5.33

This wasn’t as black as I would want but it was easy to use. Also almost a full size product and pairs pretty well with the mascara.

Freeman Hydrating Cactus and Cloudberry Water Gel Mask

Full Size: 0.5 oz

Full Size Cost: $1.37

Sample Size: 0.5 oz

Total Value: $1.37

I love this so so much. This is a leave on/sleeping mask. It smells nice it feels super cool and hydrating on the skin but didn’t leave me sticky. I think I am going to have to buy a full size tube of this. I love freeman masks they are really great and most of them come in these packets as well as big tubes. This also has plenty of product in it I should be able to get 2 more uses out of it.

Once again really happy with this box it is so fun to open I don’t I just really like it. It is well worth the $5 to me I really encourage you to try it out.
