nightmareb4

Walmart Beauty Box

Cost: $5

Cycle: Every Quarter/Season

What is it: Every season Walmart sends out a box of samples and sometimes coupons in their “free” subscription box. The box is a flat shipping rate of $5 and the box is considered free.  There are two categories of boxes “Trendsetter” which you receive if you provide a birth date that has you aged at under 35 and “Classic” if you provide a birth date that has you aged above 35.

Another great box from Walmart this really is such a good subscription box I really do recommend it to everyone.

Salon Perfect Nail Set in Design

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $4.94

I don’t like having long nails so these are not for me but I mean a full nail set that you could potential get to full sets out of that’s pretty awesome and this alone is 6 cents shy of the cost of the box. Also considering most people cant go to the nail salon right now what a good thing to get in the box. I think the marble is really cool nails are just not for me.

Biore Rose Quartz + Charcoal Daily Purifying Cleanser

Full Size: 200 ml

Full Size Cost: $6.47

Sample Size: 29 ml

Total Value: $0.94

First off who is out here wanting glitter in their face wash? Second of all how is my cleanser radiating self love please what am I missing here? This feels like random buzzword vomit lol. Besides all that I normally like Biore products alot so I am keen to chuck this in with my travel stuff to use up that way. The glitter is that small pearlesent kind so I don’t think it is going to leave glitter on my face.

Suave Professionals for Natural Hair Curl Defining Cream

Full Size: 355 ml

Full Size Cost: $4.98

Sample Size: 2 x 15 ml

Total Value: $0.21 each

I don’t have curly hair so I will pass this along but it does make me interested about the leave in conditioners from this line and there was a coupon. These products are really affordable.

Natural Vitality Calm in Raspberry-Lemon Flavor

Full Size: 453 g

Full Size Cost: $23.09

Sample Size: 3.3 g

Total Value: $0.17

I have heard so much about this specific Magnesium supplement drink. I have taken Magnesium supplements before and have felt alot of benefit from them (I should really take them more consistently). I have heard this is really fast acting and god for anxiety so I am really looking forward to putting that to the test probably sooner then I would prefer.

Hello Antiplaque + Whitening Fluoride Free Toothpaste in Natural Peppermint

Full Size: 4.7 oz

Full Size Cost: $3.97

Sample Size: 1 oz

Total Value: $0.84

This I am kinda disappointed in I don’t like or use fluoride free toothpaste. I may throw this in with travel stuff I may pass it along I just don’t feel like there is a huge amount of purpose to a fluoride free toothpaste once you are old enough to know not to eat your toothpaste.

Hello Charcoal Infused Toothbrush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $3.96

I have wanted to try this toothbrush since I found out about it back in like January and haven’t had the chance. I love really soft charcoal tooth brushes and the all black sleekness of it super appeals to me. So happy about this.

If Walmart can give me one to two full size items every time Ipsy could do it too. The value of the things I will use is over the value of the shipping and the items are both bractical and fun.

Total Value: $11.27

Skincare: 1

Makeup: 0

Tools: 1

Hair Care: 2

Perfume: 0

Other: 3

Ipsy June 2020 Subscription Box Review

Ipsy Bag

Cost: $12 monthly, $132 annual

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month Ipsy sends out a cute makeup bag of samples and full size items. You can review your bag for points that you can trade in for reward items. The rewards change often and the range between 300 points and 1000 points. You can get around 95 points every month.

If you want to subscribe you can subscribe HERE and skip the waitlist. That is my referral link so I do get points to spend but I’m not an affiliate I don’t make any money or anything it’s just one beauty junkie to another.

You can now customize your bag and pick out one sample per month that will get to be in your bag which is a pretty nice change even though it came with a price increase.

Royal and Langnickel Moda Angled Shader Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $5

I absolutely love Royal and Langnickel brushes and the MODA line is super cute and very soft. Also very dense. This brush in orange is part of a set but it comes in other colors individually. This is really god for packing on color or even for blending in concealer or bases.

Suntique I’m Pure Perfect Cica SPF 50

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $7.20

This was my choice for the month I have always heard good things about Asian sunscreens and I wanted to try one since I am super sensitive to sunscreen and most give me allergic reactions or break outs. This seems a bit thick but I won’t really know until I can wear it out in the sun which isn’t really possible right now.

Dr. Botanicals Cocoa & Coconut Superfood Reviving Hydrating Mask

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $12.99

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $12.99

This is so tiny for a full size. I don’t know if I will end up keeping this as I don’t really need a hydrating face mask but it is always nice to get a full size. I bet it smells good considering there is cocoa and coconut in it.

Ciate Wonderwand Mascara in Black Magic

Full Size: 9.1 g

Full Size Cost: $22

Sample Size: ?

Value: ?

The size isn’t listed on the packaging so I have no idea how big this is. I know I have gotten more then one of these before but I can’t remember what I think of it. I love getting these travel size mascaras I use them all the time. Not just for travel I feel like they get used up faster so they stay more sanitary.

Real Her Moisturizing Lipstick in Girlpower Deep Mauve

Full Size: 3.5 g

Full Size Cost: $18

Sample Size: 2 g

Value: $10.29

My problem with Real Her is that the shades are never accurate to what they say they are this isn’t a deep mauve its a very pinky shade. This is also ultra creamy the kind that slides around on your lips I am not a huge fan.

Better bag then last month but still not that that great it is always a good month when I get a brush from a brand I like though.

Boxycharm May 2020 Subscription Box Review

nightmareb4

Boxycharm

Cost: $25

Cycle: Every Month

What is it:

Boxycharm sends out 4 to 5 full size items every month which makes it really unique among the  boxes I subscribe to. It is a nice change to get all full size products especially for $25 which is usually less then the cost of one item in the box. Boxycharm also joined the customization train and you can choose between a few items to have one in your box for the month. I really like that because Boxycharm was getting to the point where I was only liking one thing in my box and even though the value was there the fun wasn’t anymore.

If you would like to subscribe you can use my referral link HERE. I don’t get anything other then points but would really appreciate it but do as you feel comfortable you are also welcome to use the link in the header that leads to the regular homepage.

You can also review your products and get “charms” which are their versions of points that you can use as money off in their shop.

I’m pretty meh about this box the item I would have chosen was sold out so I had to pick something else and I mostly have gotten things that are pretty meh and not my type of products.

Tarte Micellar Magic Makeup Remover

Full Size: 190 ml

Full Size Cost: $18

I don’t love micellar waters they tend to sting my eyes and leave a film on face that I don’t like but I know I will use this even though I don’t really like them.

Elemis Dynamic Facial Resurfacing Pads

Full Size: 60 ct

Full Size Cost: $59

This was my choice but I am not super into exfoliating pad type products anymore but we’ll see how it goes they are like almost a $1 a pad o I am sure to use them.

Pretty Vulgar Uncaged Eyeshadow Primer

Full Size: 10 ml

Full Size Cost: $22

I actually already owned this primer and have been using it for awhile it is a really good primer rght up there with primer potion from Urban Decay. It is a clear primer so it doesn’t blank out your lid or anything like that.

Appeal Cosmetics Ultra Creme Liquid Lipstick in Sugar N Spice

Full Size: 4.8 ml

Full Size Cost: $21

So this is a new product that doesn’t release until July so that is cool Love a new release in a subscription box. This is a liquefied lipstick it does not dry down matte which I am not a huge fan of but it is pretty.

Studio Makeup Ease to Wear Eyeshadow Palette

Full Size: 8.55 g

Full Size Cost: $35

This is really unimpressive. Some of the shades don’t show up on me some are patchy some are smooth it is just really boring and inconsistent.

Well not a great box for me at least. I really don’t even know what to say I will use these things but I don’t really want any of these things.

Total: $155

Total Value to Me: $120
