Walmart Fall 2022 Beauty Box Subscription Box Review

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.


This is actually kinda the worst Walmart box I have ever received which is a bit disappointing.

Hairitage Athletic Twist Headband

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $5.98

I don’t like head bands in this style so I didn’t open it so that I can pass this along.

Maybelline Curl Bounce Mascara

Full Size: 9.8 ml

Full Size Cost: $10.99

Sample Size: 4.5 ml

Total Value: $5.05

Liquid I.V. in Yuzu Pineapple

Full Size: 16 sticks

Full Size Cost: $27.47

Sample Size: 1 stick

Total Value: $1.72

We seem to get these every season it is a little repetitive.

Thayers Facial Toner Pad

Full Size: 25

Full Size Cost: $8.99

Sample Size: 1 pad

Total Value: $0.36

Really one little pad, its kinda pathetic. I can’t use this so I’ll just pass it along.

Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Shampoo

Full Size: 89 ml

Full Size Cost: $1.56

Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Conditioner

Full Size: 89 ml

Macy’s Beauty Box August 2022

Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

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.


This came super late like last day of August late. Also really not overly pleased with this months box.

Blush Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $1

This is legit something you could pick up at dollar tree. Like no I refuse to be impressed about this item. Its not even soft.

Chella Mini La Vie Neutral Eyeshadow Palette

Full Size: 4 g

Full Size Cost: $20

I won’t swatch this because I won’t use this but this is a great inclusion it it a cute little travel palette you can get a whole look from it. Some one will be really happy when They get this.

Bodyography Eye Pencil in Bali Bronze

Full Size: 1.1 g

Full Size Cost: $11

Not a terribly unique color to get in a box but it is smooth and pretty and I will use it and it is full size so it is not the worst thing that could be included in this box and it does give fall vibes.

Origins Ginzing Brightening Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $44

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7.33

I don’t typically love things from this line so I am going to give it to my girlfriend and let her use it up.

Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara

Full Size: 0.33 oz

Full Size Cost: $27

Sample Size: 20.06 oz

Value: $4.91

I don’t really like this mascara it is heavy and makes my eyes itch. I really hate that they couldn’t even give us a full travel size like why. It has to cost more money to produce this smaller size then to just make more travel size ones. you know economy of scale and all that.

Dior Forever Foundation Card

I refuse to give this a value. This is a free sample like absolutely not should this be a thing you are considering an actual item.

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Cologne

Full Size: 4.2 oz

Full Size Cost: $105

Sample Size: 0.05 oz

Value: $1.25

This is a pretty old cologne so that’s a bit of a bummer.

Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Perfume

Full Size: 3.4 oz

Full Size Cost: $122

Sample Size: 0.05 oz

Value: $1.79

I didn’t know that this brand made women’s perfume so that is pretty cool to try.


Really just not happy with this box this month it was super late the items kinda suck like just not great.

What’s In My Trash? August 2022

How is it September like summer flew the hell by I’m not ready for fall at all! I am still really lagging behind my goals alot but I am really starting to see a slowing down of products in my life which is good. Also there is going to be some weird discrepancies in the total counts of my collection because there are some things I have chose to remove from the list with out actually removing from my collection and some behind the scenes decluttering with out actually having anything so say or report about them.

Skincare (5)

Supergoop Defense Refresh Setting Mist SPF 50 this is my favorite sunscreen setting spray I love it. It doesn’t mess up my makeup it isn’t greasy or sticky it doesn’t break me out.

Repurchase: Yes

Random (2)

Oh K! Exfoliating Watermelon & Citrus Foot Peel this has been ok my feet are peeling but I wish it was stronger like a more aggressive peeling and softening effect.

Repurchase: yes

Dove Go Fresh Pomegranate Antiperspirant Spray this did not work that great and it ran out super fast.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (6)

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Toasted Pineapple Marshmallow this was not very long lasting at all.

Repurchase: No

Free Baby Tutti Fucking Fruity Candle I really enjoyed this candle it was from a small business and I really wish the name was on it so I could buy more.

Lip (1)

Basic Beauty Lip Oil in Summer I hated this it was so sticky and messy and tasted weird.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (5)

Girlactik Precise Eyeliner Marker this was not the best it was really smudgey and not really long wearing.

Repurchase: No

Colourpop Crème Gel Liner in Swerve this was a very standard retractable eyeliner not as long wearing or pigmented as the colored ones.

Repurchase: No

Tarte Sex Kitten Liquid Eyeliner hate this it does not go smoothly over eyeshadow it isn’t as deep black as I like it also draws a really thick like which is neither negative or positive just something to note. It does wear pretty well but like I need better performance over eyeshadow.

Repurchase: No

It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara I hate this mascara it is too dry and does nothing for my lashes.

Repurchase: No

Repurchase: No

Lotion (2)

Shea Yeleen Rich Shea Body Cream in Coconut Melon this was really nice good lotion smelled nice didn’t melt in my car all good things.

Repurchase: No, I have so much lotion

FCS Goat Milk & Honey Cream in Bee Kind this was nice very thick but you can very much tell it was goat milk and honey so that could be a bit off putting for some people.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bodycare (3)

Tree Hut Scrub in Candied Lemon I liked this the lemon was great it’s a good scrub.

Repurchase: Yes

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Shower Oil in Liquor is Quicker I love these for after shaving they make me all smooth and glossy this smelled great I will say this got kinda hard to spray at the end and I had to just dump it in my hand after the last few uses.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Shower Gel in Lemon Pomegranate this was great smelled really good I love lemon stuff.

Repurchase: Yes

Perfume (2)

FCS Perfume Oil in Friends Forever this was nice it was sweet smelled like honey I enjoyed it.

Repurchase: No but it was nice.

YSL Libre EDT I have zero memory of using this so it really didn’t leave much of an impression I guess.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (2)

Phyto Joba Moisturizing Shampoo hated this it was so thick and hard to get out of the bottle and made my hair feel stringy and stripped.

Repurchase: No

Pantene Sheer Volume Foam Conditioner this was alright. The foam was weird it felt like it wasn’t coating my hair but it actually was easier to coat my hair then regular conditioner so that was just a weird experience it was good though. Didn’t care for the scent at all though.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (3)

Tresluce Beauty Ready to Bounce Cream Blush in Date Night this was just not a good color for me.

Half Caked Mirror Mirror Highlighter in Fortune Faded I just opened this up to use it and it was randomly shattered into a million pieces with is strange because there is no reason that should have happened but it is what it is.

FCS OCD Hand Sanitizer in Magic Mirror I don’t like the glitter hand sanitizers.


I think this is the least amount of skincare I have ever used in a month. Only two categories grew this month and overall the amount went down which is super fantastic.

Approx Value This Month: $340.76

Approx Total Value: $2,546.58
