Walmart Winter 2016/2017 Trendsetter Box Review

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.


So I was under the impression that all boxes in a category were the same I was apparently mistaken and definitely didn’t receive one of the more fun boxes. I basically got box of lotion.

For a free box from Walmart they really do a cute job with packaging.

How cute is that snowflake wrapping. I had to use it as a background for some of these pictures.

L’oréal Paris Advanced Haircare Smooth Intense Ultimate Straight

Full Size: 12.6 oz, 12.6 oz, 6.8 oz

Full Size Cost: $3, $3, $6.63

Sample Size: 3 x 0.34 oz

Value: $0.08, $0.08, $0.33

Total Value: $0.49

I have listed the products Shampoo, Conditioner, Pre-conditioner. And then totaled up the value I hope this makes sense.

I have used this in the past and have liked it. It leaves my hair soft and shiny and straighter then it would normally be.The only thing about this is that it smells really weird not necessarily bad but weird if you like a nice pleasant smelling shampoo this is not it but it does not linger on the hair so I can live with it.

nspa Body Butter in Exotically Creamy Coconut

Full Size: 200 ml

Full Size Cost: $17.99

Sample Size: 50 ml

Value: $4.50

This can no longer be purchased on the Walmart website. The other scents are only priced at around $5.21 but I was only able to find the coconut on Amazon.  This is a decent feeling cream but it does not smell like coconut at all it almost smells like flowers or something I do not like it. Luckily they sent me plenty of other moisturizing things so I won’t have to fear for dry skin *heavy sarcasm*

TRESemmé Volumizing Dry Shampoo

Full Size: 4.3 oz

Full Size Cost: $4.99

Sample Size: 1.15 oz

Value: $1.33

This has the classic TRESemmé scent to it. It does not leave much white residue like many dry shampoos do. It is stickier then my new found live the Drybar dry shampoo but considerably cheaper.

Curél Hydratheraphy Wet Skin Moisturizer

Full Size: 12 oz

Full Size Cost: $9.89

Sample Size: 2 oz

Value: $1.65

I tried a little of this on dry skin and it felt a little greasy I imagine the water is supposed to break that down when you take a shower.

Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash

Full Size: 22 oz

Full Size Cost: $5.47

Sample Size: 1.8 oz

Value: $0.45

 

This absolutely smells like nothing. I’m not a huge fan of Dove products but I’ll use it just the same.

Also included were some coupons


Well Im excited about the shampoo and the dry shampoo but the rest is meh. Still this box is once again worth it. You can’t be getting samples in the mail for $5 packages are always fun.
