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.

Another box with some really large size items.

Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser

Full Size: 237 ml

Full Size Cost: $8.74

Sample Size: 30 ml

Total Value: $1.11

I don’t really care for this cleanser but my gf likes it is very simple very basic gentle cleanser.

Ariana Grande Thank You Next Body Mist

Full Size: 236 ml

Full Size Cost: $9.98

Sample Size: 50 ml

Total Value: $2.11

Nice travel size item to have. The scent is a little too musky for my tastes I will just pass this on I wish it was cloud that one smells so much better.

Covergirl Cleantopia Plant Powered Mascara in 800

Full Size: 9.5 ml

Full Size Cost: $10.48

This is a newer mascara. I have my doubts about it being good i feel like this vibe of more natural mascara never is that great but the packaging is super cute the shape is unique it has a nice soft feel to it and its worth more than the whole box.

Kiss imPress Press-on Falsies

Full Size: 31 lashes and applicator

Full Size Cost: $19.99

Sample Size: 8 lashes and tweezers

Total Value: $6.00

I thought this was a full size package but it is just a sample pack but is more then enough to get the vibe of if you like this kind of thing or not. It also come with mini tweezers that even if you don’t like the lashes still has decent value to it.

T.Taio Esponjabon Mother of Pearl Lightening Effect

Full Size: 120 g

Full Size Cost: $4.79

Sample Size: 60 g

Total Value: $2.40

This feels like one of those old fashioned type of beauty secret type of products. It says it can be used on face and body I don’t really know what or if I will use this I am keeping it for now while I decide I’m not much of a bar soap person but this is really soft and squishy and has a loofah embedded in it which I find really cool and interesting. We certainly don’t see things like this in boxes ever.

4U By Tia Leave-In Curl Cream

Full Size: 177 ml

Full Size Cost: $10.97

Sample Size: 59 ml

Total Value: $3.66

We get curl cream pretty regularly in the Walmart box.

They also sent along a little foundation sampler but I am not counting this towards the item count.

This was a really good box just not a good box for me personally.

FabFitFun Box Fall 2023

nightmareb41 Comment

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.

I wasn’t super thrilled about the options this season it felt like a mish mash of leftover items and then I totally forgot all the things I picked. But now that it is here I am actually pretty excited about it.

Frank Body Cacao Coffee Scrub

Full Size: 200 g

Full Size Cost: $20

I don’t really love the frank body scrubs they are so messy and I hate having to wash my shower after I take a shower. .They usually smell really good though this one is a chocolate cake coffee scent so that should be nice.

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Vanilla Beige

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Unfortunately I thought this was the clear one when I choose it. I would not have choose it if I had know this was a tinted one I don’t prefer tinted balms but I will use it all the same because I have it.

Vegamour Gro Dry Shampoo

Full Size: 112 g

Full Size Cost: $36

I picked this solely because I am almost out of Dry Shampoo. I see ads for Vegamour all the time but its always seemed shady to me so now I will get to see for myself. This is supposed to make your hair look thicker and fuller too.

Alex + Ani Emerald Flex Cuff

Full Size Cost: $45

I bought this thinking I was going to give it away as a gift but it is actually really cute on and I am definitely going to keep it. It is adjustable but pretty small and stiff which is ideal for me but might be problematic for most people so that is something to keep in mind.

Short Stories Travel Blanket

Full Size Cost: $68

I picked this because I always like the idea of a travel blankets but they are never right too big to pack right not soft all sorts of things. Now this is pretty ridiculous at that price point like crazy this is super soft but pretty small and thin so I will have to see how i get on with it on my next trip. This is also a repeat item that Fab Fit Fun has done before which is I don’t know how I feel about that.

Little Korboose by April Nemeth Woven Throw Blankey

Full Size Cost: $60

I don’t remember choosing two blankets that’s pretty dumb on my part this isn’t soft it feels like canvas something that should be outside.

Ricola Throat Balm Caramel Flavor

Full Size: 34 drops

Full Size Cost: $6.79

Sample Size: 6 drops

Value: $1.20

Every now and than Fab Fit Fun will throw in a random promo item as like a little ad/bonus. With cold season rapidly approaching this will be nice to have on hand. Ricola stuff usually tastes pretty good too.

Well I ended up being happier than I though I was going to be with this box even though the choices really sucked this season and the prices are ridiculously overinflated for the 2 blankets.

Value: $254.20

Macy’s Beauty Box August 2023

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.

This is all new stuff for a change so that is really nice. Macy’s has been slacking a bit for awhile now so it is good to see.

Diana Madison Beauty The Glow Factor Sheet Mask

Full Size: 5 masks

Full Size Cost: $40

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $8

Never heard of this brand before. I am sure this is a really nice mask I will pass it on to someone else they will get good use out of it.

Skin Gym Red Carpet VIP Gold Foil Face Mask

Full Size: 1 Mask

Full Size Cost: $8

I like the Skin gym brand well enough so this will be fun to use I might try to use this today actually while I’m working. My skin has been not its best lately.

Lancome Clarifique Pro-Solution

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $19.83

I am actually really excited to try this it is supposed to help with acne spots and pores and those are things i still mainly have my problems with so this is going to be a really cool thing to try out since I wouldn’t spend the money to try.

Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Soft Cream

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $76

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $10.64

This is a moisturizer I don’t always get on with Khiels products but I will give a go all the same. It doesn’t appear to have a scent which is good I hate when there’s a scent to fancy moisturizer.

Kopari Moisture Whipped Ceramide Cream

Full Size: 60 ml

Full Size Cost: $42

Sample Size: 20 ml

Value: $14

I haven’t gotten the chance to really try anything from Kopari. I don’t love that they put two face moisturizers in the same box but it is what it is this has a nice texture but seems like it is going to be heavy I will probably hold this off until the winter.

Giorgio Armani My Way Parfum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $110

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $4.40

I forgot how expensize this perfume was. I haven’t ever tried it but have wanted to this is totally coming on my next trip with me.

Valentino Donna Born in Roma Perfume

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $3.40

I like the way this perfume smells I almost bought a full size once so I will happily use this up its very feminine but not too flowery.

Skincare Headband

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $5

A purple terrycloth skincare headband I feel like everyone who likes or uses these kind of things already has one but its nice to get fresh ones.

This is a much better box than last month for sure. Better items that I will use and a higher value.

Total Value: $73.27
