nightmareb4

Walmart Beauty Box

Cost: $6.98

Cycle: Every Quarter/Season

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.

It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product

Full Size: 2 oz

Full Size Cost: $13

This is a great leave-in so I’m pretty thrilled to get a full travel size of it.

OGX Argan Oil of Morocco Shampoo

Full Size: 3 oz

Full Size Cost: $3.79

I don’t love that we only got the shampoo I hate not having a matching set.

MakeUp Eraser

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $12

This is a full mini size of the makeup eraser which is really great its the perfect size to wash your face and travel with. I have a ton of these and I use them.

Addias Energy Drive Perfume

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $24.87

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Total Value: $0.60

This is a bit unisex but leaning to fresh and masculine for me personally.

Milani Conceal + Perfect Blur Out Smoothing Primer

Full Size: 0.81 oz

Full Size Cost: $13.97

Sample Size: 0.059 oz

Total Value: $1.02

This is normally a potted primer and it is pretty thick and hard as most blurring primers are so I don’t know that this is the best format to present this sample. but it’ll be fun to try on a short trip.

Physicians Formula Diamond Mascara in Black Diamond

Full Size: 8.5 ml

Full Size Cost: $9.98

Sample Size: 2.3 ml

Total Value: $2.70

Always fun to get a mini of a drug store mascara.

Covergirl Clean Invisible Foundation

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $6.88

Sample Size: 16 x 0.57ml

Total Value: $0.13

I love Covergirl foundations. I am only valuing this at $0.13 because you are only going to really shade match to 1 maybe two of these so you can’t really use the whole 9.12 ml of foundation. I find these foundations to be super breatheable on the skin.

This season’s box was great and back to the quality and sizes that I am use to from Walmart. Super Happy.

What’s In My Trash? July 2025

nightmareb4

July started off strong and then went pretty downhill quick. OOPS

Skincare (8)

Mudmasky Mineral-Infused Bubble Cleansing Mask this was nice much thinner than I expected so not great at the masking part but in no way was this worth $59.

Repurchase: No

Soo Ae Food Story Mask Pomegranate Grenade this was fine nothing special.

Repurchase: No

Global Beauty Care Snail Spa Treatment Mask this was awful who ever cut this mask has never seen a human face before.

Repurchase: No

Tony Moly I’m Avocado Sheet Mask this was very moisturizing.

Repurchase: Maybe

Elizabeth Arden Retinol + HPR Ceramide Water Cream I didn’t like this it was pretty thick and sticky.

Repurchase: No

Sunday Riley 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum I didn’t actually like this which is surprising I really like this line from then but this was kinda sticky and didn’t really do any brightening.

Repurchase: No

The Crème Shop Caffeine Eye Sheet Masks I don’t prefer these I would rather eye gels or a full sheet mask.

Repurchase: No

Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Eye Cream my favorite eye cream I really think it works and I love the texture.

Repurchase: Yes

Random (1)

By/ Rosie Jane Everyday Deodorant in Wake the F*ck Up this smelled nice not sure that’s its really a great deodorant but it did come in clutch while I’m going through some things that have me unable to wear real deodorant for awhile.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (3)

FCS Scent Diffuser in Drop.Your.Sword. this smelled really sweet and I added it to my wax melter.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Tropical Cherry this smells good but the scent fades fast.

Repurchase: No

Grace & Ivy Candle Co. Wax Melt in Spearmint this had no scent throw but I do feel like it freshened up the air even though I couldn’t really smell it.

Repurchase: Maybe

Lip (1)

Laniege Lip Sleeping Mask in Chocolate this tasted/smelled amazing like a Hershey chocolate bar, but it was so heavily tinted brown that it got on everything and stained pillowcases. A sleeping lip mask needs to be clear.

Bodycare (2)

FCS Whipped Soap in I am Kenough this smelled so good all fruity and the rainbow was so fun. I just don’t love having to scoop out my soap.

Repurchase: No

Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month you will get a bag, We used to get $5 off any beauty purchase then it became a coupon off a purchase amount and now we don’t even always get that, 5 deluxe samples and 1 bonus sample. Why not just say 6? I don’t get it. You never really know how many items are going to come its always different.

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.

So I just kind of forgot about this box for awhile. Oops.

This is an insane thing to to count as an item.

This is very very pretty but I don’t wear lip gloss hardly ever so it would be a shame for me to keep it.

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $65

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $6.50

I’ve only liked about half the things I have tried from this line, but i have never tried this and its tiny and a serum I’ll use it up quick.

Clarins Bright Plus Brightening Dark Spot Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $88
