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.
This is sadly the least impressive Walmart box I have ever gotten. Its still alright but compared to usual not as good.
I use this for travel all the time so I am happy to get but they have sent this exact one before last year for spring actually.
No real full size products this month only one travel size one. This is also the lowest value I have ever gotten from Walmart it barely exceeds the cost.
This was a good month i really burned through and decluttered alot of things which is super exciting for me.
Skincare (8)
FCS Honey and Bee Pollen Night Cream in Looking For Sunshine I didn’t really like this and it oxidized blue which I found odd.
Repurchase: No
Kopari Sun Shield Soft Glow Daily Face SPF 30 I really liked this it was really soft feeling on the skin.
Repurchase: Maybe
Tony Moly Plump-Kin Retinol Eye Cream this was fine really nothing that special. It was really thin and cooling which I liked.
Repurchase: No
BRTC Vitamin B5 Velvet Mask Soothing + Panthenol + Cica I don’t think this did anything at all.
Repurchase: No
Osea Ocean Cleanser this was fine not my favorite cleanser ever so im not going to kill myself trying to get what’s suck at the bottom at.
Repurchase: No
The Inkey List Polyglutamic Acid Dewy Sunscreen this had a bit of an odd scent it didn’t smell like sunscreen I can’t really pin point the smell it wasn’t bad it just was unexpected every time lol. I didn’t hate this it was fine it was thin and absorbed quickly which I liked it wasn’t particularly dewy and it was a little sticky upon application but that faded fast.
Repurchase: Maybe
Bliss What a Melon Replenishing Watermelon Toner I am just not a toner girl.
Repurchase: No
Perricone MD Face Finishing & Firming Moisturizer this was really thick and I did not like it.
Repurchase: No
Home Scents (6)
Cowboy and Cricket Wax Melt in Willow I didn’t like this scent I ended up adding a bunch of cinnamon oil to it to change the scent.
Repurchase: No
Ever Spring Room Spray in Mandarin & Ginger this was fine it wasn’t great it really didn’t last long but the spray mechanism was really nice.
Repurchase: No
Christmas at Hogwarts Orange Nutmeg Candle this was fun it burned along time and the wood wick had amazing crackle. The scent throw wasn’t fantastic but it was so fun. I would buy more candles from Universal for the fun of it for sure.
Repurchase: Yes
Unplugged Book Box Essential Oil in Gansey I use this to scent up the wax when it ran out of scent and I like it made the room smell fresh and minty.
Repurchase: Maybe
Trader Joe’s Super Lemon Room Spritz I love this these are my favorite it is so lemony and fresh and clean.
Repurchase: Yes
Woolzies Essential Oil Blend in Cinnabake I didn’t really use this the way you are supposed to use it but it worked ok I can’t judge it too harshly. I have a bunch of oils that I just have and have no use for so I am going to buy some cheap not super scented wax and just mix them in to use them up.
Repurchase: No
Makeup (5)
Urban Decay Razor Sharp Liquid Eyeliner in Fireball this is dry now but I never really liked it was too thin and too pink.
Repurchase: No
Lock Color Lock It Good Boundation in 5 Medium Buff for not a full coverage foundation this was very full coverage. I don’t love a full coverage look and this was pretty heavy to wear so I’m glad I’m done with this.
Repurchase: No
Smashbox Photo Finish Primerizer hated this felt like it really did nothing for my skin or the longevity of my makeup.
Repurchase: No
Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin in Y315 I loved this it wears well looks nice it is very velvety in texture on the skin. Make Up For Ever is definitely my favorite brand of foundation they don’t break me out and the shades and undertones work so well for me I really need to do the a foundation purge and then just buy a light coverage and full coverage of this brand and make my life simpler.
Repurchase: Yes
Colourpop Liquid Liner in Try Me I do like these but they get patchy and they dry very quickly. And but if I need another cheap red eyeliner and this is available and nothing else is I would get it.
Repurchase: Maybe
Bodycare (2)
Bath and Body Works Hot Cocoa and Cream Shower Gel I like this it smells like chocolate.
Repurchase: Yes
Sundae Whipped Shower Foam in Passionfruit Pop I just don’t like whipped cream texture products this smelled nice but I never felt that clean after and it was kinda drying.
Repurchase: No
Perfume (1)
Sol De Janiero Perfume Mist in Cheriosa 62 this smells so good and yummy. It is expensive so it was a nice treat I wouldn’t buy it frequently because I have so much perfume but it was a Christmas treat to myself and I really enjoyed it.
Repurchase: Yes
Haircare (2)
Marc Anthony Hydrating Coconut Oil Deep Nourishing Conditioning Treatment I don’t like this one as much as the blue one.
Repurchase: No
Pure Brazilian Daily Anti-Frizz Serum this did not do much in the way of anti-frizzing.
Repurchase: No

Woolzies Essential Oil Blend in Autumn Sky I just really didn’t like the scent of this smelled kinda old and perfumey.
Cowboy and Cricket Wax Melt in Stede really don’t like this scent smells like a funeral home.
Ulta Beauty Harry Potter Gryffindor Gel Eyeliner this dried out and it wasn’t really every that good I more got it for display. And it came like in a boxed set.
Ulta Beauty Harry Potter Slytherin Gel Eyeliner same as the Gryffindor one.
Joah Infinite Kiss in Snog this smears all over my teeth.
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Full Coverage Foundation in Medium Sand I wanted to have less foundation since I don’t wear it a ton and this has never been open and I don’t really like full coverage foundation so this was an easy one to pass on to someone else.
Hey Honey Trick and Treat CC Cream in Light to Medium I just don’t need it so I am going to pass it along.
Wander Beauty Nude Illusion Liquid Foundation in Light Medium I have never used it which means I can pass it along to someone else.
It feels so good to have gotten so much stuff out and and if i keep going at this rate i will actually hit my year end goal for the first time in years.
Here we are finishing out the year. I think i really need to lower my goals I’ve been ambitious and have not been meeting them.

FCS Superfruit Facial Oil in You’re So Beautiful I ended up using this as a hand oil and loved it for that but the scent was so strong good but strong that I just could not tolerate it on my face but I love a body oil and hand oil so I enjoyed this a ton just not for its intended purpose.
Repurchase: Eh it’s too expensive at this size for what I use it for.
Leaders Pore-Scaling Black Aqua this is just a sheet mask nothing special.
Repurchase: No
Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mask this was really nice maybe my skin look and feel good but I wouldn’t buy such an expensive sheet mask.

Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb The Super Hydrating Mask Soothing Sheet Mask this is fine just a sheet mask a little wet but not too drippy.
Repurchase: Maybe
R.E.M. Beauty Full Night’s Sleep Cooling Blurring Undereye Balm I actually really liked this it had a cooling matte effect and it was smooth and nice and I did make my under eyes look and feel smoother and depuffed. Didn’t do much for brightening or moisturizing.
Repurchase: Probably
Vitamasques Snow Glow Eye these were super cute but they didn’t do a ton and they did slide around even though I wasn’t doing anything.
Repurchase: No
Clarins One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser I unfortunately really liked this it was scrubby my skin felt good and clean and soft I don’t love that the beads didn’t all break but still nice.

Repurchase: Maybe
Makeup (2)
Colourpop No Filter Concealer in Fair 00 I mostly used this as an eye base but I’ve used over half the doe foot broke it isn’t the best base and I have better so it is just time to let this go.
Repurchase: No
m2u nyc Eye Primer in Nude this is just a nude primer I do not like it more then Urban Decay or Two Faced and because primer lasts so freaking long like literally years I rather pay more for something I know I like.
Repurchase: No
Perfume (1)
FCS Perfume Oil in Recently Deceased this grew on me the top notes were very graveyard-y and fresh but then it wore down be more sweet and warm. I found the contrast jarring at first but it really grew on me and I ended up really liking it.
Repurchase: Yes

Eva Nyc Therapy Session Hair Mask I really like this hair mask it makes my hair feel super soft.
Repurchase: Yes

Lolavie Glossing Detangler this I don’t have a picture of because I gave it away but this did the opposite of detangling it made my hair sticky.
I used up a decent amount this month but not as much as I could have a I have a few more items I had been hoping would have been used up but they will have to get dragged into 2025. There will be a yearly wrap up coming soon.
