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.

Always an exciting day when the Walmart box comes. Always a favorite every season. Highly recommend this box to everyone always.

Mega Babe Thigh Rescue

Full Size: 23 g

Full Size Cost: $10

I am so excited to get this. I have gone through a few of these they work so well I just finished my last stick of this and was going to buy another this week and now I don’t have to. This really does eliminate friction and lasts all day its amazing.

Physician’s Formula Butter Glow Liquid Bronzer in Bronze

Full Size: 40 ml

Full Size Cost: $13.49

Sample Size: 6 ml

Total Value: $2.02

Cool a liquid bronzer pretty sure I have never gotten a liquid bronzer in a box before. I really like alot of things from Physician’s Formula but there shade range leaves alot to be desired.

The Shop Face Wash

Full Size: 120 ml

Full Size Cost: $9.97

Sample Size: 30 ml

Total Value: $2.49

Pretty basic face wash but I like the packaging.

Earth to Skin Super Fruits Prickly Pear Sheet Mask

Full Size: 1 Mask

Full Size Cost: $2.50

I am currently using this and it is nice so far. It is super milky like I was able to serum my whole chest neck hands and both arms. The scent hits pretty strongly at first but dissipates quickly and it is staying on my face well.

Eva Nyc Therapy Session Hair Mask

Full Size: 60 ml

Full Size Cost: $5.50

I love this hair mask it is so thick and creamy and really makes my hair feel healthier.

Curel Dry Skin Therapy Hydra Silk Moisturizer

Full Size: 354 ml

Full Size Cost: $19.80

Sample Size: 29 ml

Total Value: $1.62

This we have gotten more then once in this box. I don’t like curel products they don’t work for me personally they are greasy and sticky on me but i know they work so well for so many people especially with sensitive skin.

Another super good great box everything will get used and enjoyed by me.

Macy’s Beauty Box June 2024

nightmareb4

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.

Kiehl’s did a brand take over this month. I have a weird relationship with Kiehl’s some things are great and some things I hate and I never know which it will be.

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $5

I don’t like this cleanser it is too creamy and I don’t feel clean after using it.

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $39

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $5.46

I just don’t like the Ultra Line I feel like its to heavy even though it isn’t supposed to be.

Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque

Full Size: 125 ml

Full Size Cost: $47

Sample Size: 14 ml

Value: $5.26

This I am excited to try my skin has been so congested. Even though I don’t love clay masks I just have a good feeling about this one actually being effective at pulling gunk out.

Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment

Full Size: 28 g

Full Size Cost: $60

Sample Size: 7 g

Value: $15

I feel like this should be pretty nice and cooling at least.

Kiehl’s Truly Targeted Acne-Clearing Solution

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 4 ml

Value: $8

This is kinda cool. So it forms it’s own pimple patch you dot it on and it seals up like a liquid bandaid. I feel like this could be really good and better then pimple patches if it works well.

Kiehl’s Better Screen UV Serum

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $42

Sample Size: 2 ml

Value: $1.68

Always down to try a new sunscreen but this is weird. So this says it doesn’t qualify as sunscreen but according to the ingredients it does and the full size also says that it does not really sure what the deal with that is very odd.

I like brand take over boxes I like getting to see multiple items from a brand and really get a feel for them. Not a good value or item amount this month though so that is really disappointing.

FabFitFun Box Summer 2024

nightmareb4

FabFitFun Box

Cost: $54.99 a Season Annual/$59.99 Seasonal

Cycle: Every Season/4x a year

What is it: Every season FabFitFun sends 6 to 8 items valued at $300+. Annual members get to customize their entire box as well as the option to swap out for credit to shop with instead of getting a box. Annual members also get add-ons and faster shipping and earlier access to customizations.

Seasonal Members get to pick 4 of their items as well as the option to swap out their box for credit to shop with as well.

This is a bit of a boring box because I choose boring things I needed refills of instead of trying different thing but like sometimes that’s what you got to do. I also like didn’t realize i went all in for the Amika stuff this season.

ban.do Game On Waterproof Playing Cards

Full Size Cost: $14.95

I collect decks of cards and I really liked that these are waterproof and not see through because so many waterproof cards are see through and it makes them pretty hard to play with. Not the most expensive thing I could have chose for sure.

Arrae Bloat Supplements

Full Size Cost: $55

I was really excited to try these but the box came moldy and even those these were sealed and seem fine I’m not sure that is safe. I have reached out to FabFitFun but no answer yet.

Spectrum 3 Piece Make-up Brush Set

Full Size Cost: $25

I have wanted to try Spectrum brushes for so long they do the cutest collab sets. So even though these are not the style or set I would have chose I jumped for the chance to get to try them.

Vacation By Vacation EDT

Full Size Cost: $60

I love the scent of the sunscreen so I thought it would be fun to try the perfume. It smells like summer and pool and it makes me so happy.

Amika Mirrorball Shampoo

Full Size Cost: $26

Amika Mirrorball Conditoner

Full Size Cost: $26

I got these sole because I am running out of shampoo and conditioner and its expensive so this saves me having to buy some for awhile.

Amika Smooth Over Frizz-Fighting Treatment

Full Size Cost: $32

I have liked the Lamellar treatments that I have tried and they seem to work really well for me so I figured I’d grab this since I do not have one on hand at the moment.

Definitely not happy about the mold and hoping they get back to me soon to resolve the issue. because that is pretty gross.

Value: $238.95
