nightmareb4Leave a comment

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 really feels like a holiday present box like I was so happy when I opened it even though alot of the items are not for me.

Batiste Touch Activated Dry Shampoo

Full Size: 108 g

Full Size Cost: $12.49

Sample Size: 30 g

Total Value: $3.47

Dry Shampoo is something I usually don’t have a lot of back stock of I have tried 2 different Batiste dry shampoos and didn’t like either of them but this one is totally different so I will give it a try.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Cream

Full Size: 425 g

Full Size Cost: $14.99

Sample Size: 22 g

Total Value: $0.78

Very basic lotion but a good thing for the winter for sure.

Palmer’s Shimmer Radiance Body Oil

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $13.99

Sample Size: 10 ml

Total Value: $0.93

I do not want a glitter oil but this is enough to do your legs for sure.

elf Suntouchable! Invisible Sunscreen

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $14.00

I have tried this before and I didn’t like it. It is supposed to be a dupe for the Super Goop sunscreen but this is a little too oily for me compared to that one.

Plum Beauty Contouring Facial Roller

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $13.37

I find this kind of facial roller to be really pinchy on my skin and I don’t like this so I will pass this along this is really heavy though its a metal roller.

We got two full size products which is always nice in this box.

Quick Summary:

Total Value: $32.55

Skincare: 1

Makeup: 0

Hair Care: 1

Tools: 1

Perfume: 0

Other: 2

Wow I really used nothing up this month.

Skincare (5)

Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb this is fine but it isn’t special.

Repurchase: No

Josie Maran Argan Beta-Retinoid Pink Algae Serum I didn’t like this it didn’t sink in well and it was very dry.

Repurchase: No

Mac Hyper Real Serumizer this was so heavily scented like perfume I really didn’t like it it wasn’t a great texture either.

Repurchase: No

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Makeup Removing Towelettes  these are fine they don’t irritate my skin but they aren’t that wet either I just rarely use wipes I just needed some and these were convenient and on sale.

Repurchase: Maybe

The Creme Shop Baby, It’s Gold Outside 24k Gold + Collagen Essence Sheet Mask this is fine just a sheet mask.

Repurchase: No

Random (2)

Degree Unlimited Marine Invisible Solid I really didn’t like this it didn’t work well I didn’t like the scent it was hard to hold because it was so wide and thin.

Repurchase: No

Lime Crime Unicorn Hair Color Removing Wipes these I definitely need more of or something like them they are so helpful for getting dye spots off my skin.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (2)

Cowboy and Cricket Wax Melt in Modern Idiots this was really nice very fall and witchy and warm and inviting with the wine scents in it I really liked it.

Repurchase: Yes

Moonlight & Mindfullness Candle in It Floats Down Here I really enjoyed this it was cute it smelled good it burned forever I loved the little rocks on top, could have done with out the massive amount of glitter.

Repurchase: Yes

Lip (1)

Basin Lip Balm in American Mint Julep this for sure tasted like a mint julep I really liked it. I ran through these lip balms so fast though that I don’t think they are worth the price at all.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (1)

Hempz Citrine Crystal & Quartz Herbal Body Moisturizer this smelled citrusy. It is a nice enough lotion but I hate the shape of the bottle its hard to fit in a little bag its impossible to get all the lotion out. It just annoys me so I wouldn’t even actively purchase a bottle this shape.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (1)

Bath and Body Works Body Wash & Foam Bath Aromatherapy Boost in Tangelo Woods this was fine nothing impressive I don’t love the Aromatherapy line I don’t think.

Repurchase: No, also I think this was a limited scent.

Perfume (1)

FCS We’re All Mad Here Perfume Oil love this very sweet and cakey/vanillay.

Repurchase: Yes, this scent they usually have too

Haircare (1)

FCS Leave-In  Conditioner in The Weird One I don’t think these are the greatest leave ins of all time but I like the liquidy spray of them and it just so easy to use and brush through my hair.

Repurchase: Yes

Declutter (1)

FCS Merry & Bright Shimmer Lip Scrub this tasted disgusting.

Can’t believe how crappy this month was wow.

Macy’s Beauty Box October 2024

Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon 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.

Well i just was busy and had some hard times and just didn’t feel like reviewing Macy’s for awhile, but I am back with it now.

Oil Absorbing Stone Roller

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $8.00

I didn’t think this would work but it totally did. What I didn’t love is it sorta left and orange powder on my face which I was not expecting at all. It was fine I was able to pat it out pretty easily but that was weird. It was also really easy to take apart to wash.

Nudestix Nudies Matte All Over Face Blush Color in Cherie

Full Size: 7 g

Full Size Cost: $35

Sample Size: 1.8 g

Value: $9

I don’t love the formula of this it goes on well and blends well but it is not long wearing. I have this in a different shade but i like this shade a lot more and it is alot more fall friendly.

Anastasia Brow Definer in Soft Brown

Full Size: 0.2 g

Full Size Cost: $26

Sample Size: 0.1 g

Value: $13

I don’t really use pencils like this i do my eyebrows rarely so I will pass this on also this color is too light for me.

Peter Thomas Roth Instant Firm No Filter Primer

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $42

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7

This I am excited to try because I know the firming eye cream works. I am worried this won’t feel great on the skin though because the eye thing is really tacky and tight and heavy.

Clarins One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser

Full Size: 115 ml

Full Size Cost: $39

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $1.70

I don’t really like Clarins but this will get used.

Beauty Stat Universal C Skin Refiner

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $14.17

I have definitely received this before and I think used it but really can’t remember at all. Also why is it so pricey.

Not the best box for sure.

Total Value: $52.87

Skincare: 2

Makeup: 3

Tools: 1

Hair Care: 0

Perfume: 0

Other: 0

And as far as sizes:
