Fall 2015 Walmart Beauty Box

I received my Fall 2015 Walmart Beauty Box. The Walmart Beauty Box comes out 4 times a year and costs $5, which includes shipping. Beauty boxes are just plain fun.... especially if you are a product junkie like me. I also purchase the Target Beauty Box when it is available (it always a one-time purchase box). Note that I have adjusted my age down to the mid-20s because I read I might receive more color cosmetics if I did that, but I didn't receive any this time.

 

I'm also a little disappointed in my box this time because there doesn't appear to be a full sized product like usual. Some boxes appeared to contain a full-sized RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Serum, which maybe I would have received if I had left my age alone. Ha!

 Here's what was in my box:

 

 

• Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes, 7 count packet
• ACT Mouthwash, 1 fl oz
• Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer, .3 fl oz
• Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara, deluxe sample size
• Dove Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant Deodorant, sample size
• Aussie Mega Hairspray, 1.5 oz
• Schick Hydro Silk Disposable Razor
• foil packet: Biore Charcoal Self Heating Mask
• foil packet: Crest 3D White Toothpaste
• foil packet: Nivea Extended Moisture Body Lotion
• foil packet: Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer, 2 scents

 

 

Walmart Summer Beauty Box

Sometime this summer, I received my Summer 2015 Walmart Beauty Box. The Walmart Beauty Box comes out 4 times a year and costs $5, which includes shipping. Beauty boxes are just plain fun.... especially if you are a product junkie like me. I also purchase the Target Beauty Box when it is available (it always a one-time purchase box). Note that I have adjusted my age down to the mid-20s because I read I might receive more color cosmetics if I did that. I think it worked!

 

Here's what was in my box:

There is usually at least one full-sized item in the box, and this time it was a Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in HD Gladiolus. I actually already have one of these that I believe I got in a Target Beauty box, so I will be passing this on to a friend. (If you are local and would like this, give me a shout!)

Other samples in the box:

• Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme (.84oz)
• Aveeno Protect + Hydrate Suncreen SPF 30 (.5oz)
• Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy Complete Care Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (1.7 fl oz)
• Neutrogena Healthy Skin Boosters Facial Cleanser White Tea and Vitamin E (.5 fl oz)
• John Frieda Beach Blonde Sea Waves Spray (1 fl oz)
• Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara (.16 oz)
• You & I One Direction Fragrance Spray (.05 fl oz)
• Foil packet of Ken Paves You Are Beautiful Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner (.25 fl oz each)
• Foil packet of Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer Medium to Tan (.28 fl oz each)

All in all, a darn good value for $5. These are fun boxes!
 

Target Summer 2015 Beauty Box

.

The box contained three full-sized products (eye cream, lipstick, and nail polish) that I will definitely be trying. I will definitely use the nail polish remover pads for travel, and may give the hair mist a try.

.

If you like sample boxes like me, the Target Beauty Boxes are great to try because there is no commitment since there is no subscription. It's also nice that you know what you are getting when you place your order! These boxes have been selling out, so be sure and purchase it when you see it next time if you are interested.

 



Target Beauty Box- Spring 2015

.

The box contained two full-sized products (lip gloss and makeup setting spray) that I will definitely be trying. My skin is a bit oily for the gel cream, but it's always nice to have travel sizes of shampoo and hair spray.  

.

If you like sample boxes like me, this is a great one to try because there is no commitment since there is no subscription.

Spring 2015 Walmart Beauty Box

Sometime in late March, I received my Spring 2015 Walmart Beauty Box. The Walmart Beauty Box comes out 4 times a year and costs $5, which includes shipping. Beauty boxes are just plain fun.... especially if you are a product junkie like me. I am currently only subscribed to Glossybox and was glad to add this low-priced box to the mix. I also purchase the Target Beauty Box when it is available (it always a one-time purchase box).

 

My Spring 2015 box was better than my Winter 2014 box..... after I got that box which was full of sample packets and not much else, I read that there are two boxes and the one I received was intended for their more mature audience. I *did* just turn 41, but I still like color cosmetics, so I adjusted my birthdate down 15 years or so after getting the Winter box to see if I would get the younger box for the next shipment. I'm glad I did because this time I got a makeup item. I do think $5 is a great price to try so many new products.

 

  

My Spring 2015 box contains:

• Lady Gaga Fame Perfume (1.2 ml sample vial)
• Neutrogena Healthy Skin Boosters Facial Cleanser (.5 oz travel size)
• Schwarzkopf Essence Ultime Omega Repair & Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner (each is 1.7 oz travel size)
• Dove GoFresh Nutrium Moisture in Mandarin & Tiare Flower scent (1.8 oz travel size)
• Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara (full-sized product value $8.50)

There were also sample packets and coupons included. I love having travel sizes on-hand of cleansers and shampoo and conditioner. So nice when you are just going away for a day or two. This box was MUCH better than the Winter 2014 box for me!

Target Cyber Monday 2014 Beauty Box: For Him

On Cyber Monday, Target offered a few special Beauty Boxes, and I purchased both the "For Her" and the "For Him" box. (These went fast and are sold out.) I have had great luck with their seasonal beauty boxes, and I hoped the Cyber Monday boxes would be just as great. Today let's look closer at the contents of the For Him box. I paid $5, and Target offered free shipping on the box. Spoiler: just like the For Her box, I think this was a great deal!

 

 

• Dove Men+Care Dry Deodorant Spray- (full size value: $6.50) I don't know that the Mr. will be very excited about spray deodorant, but maybe he will try it. It's still nice to get a full sized product!
• Old Spice Swagger 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner- (value of 1.7 oz sample: approximately $0.50) This will be great for travel.
• AXE Peace Shower Gel- (value of 1.69 oz sample: approximately $0.50) Also great for travel!
• Gillette ProGlide FlexBall Razor- (value $9) What man can't use more razors? I don't think he has tried this particular razor before.
• Proraso Shaving Cream- (value for .35 oz sample: approximately $0.75) Another new product to try.
• Neutrogena Men Invigorating Face Wash- (value for .5 oz sample: approximately $0.50) Good size for travel.

Overall, I was really pleased with this box and felt like it was a good value for $5. The razor alone makes the box great! I don't know that Mr. Sasha has gotten bit by the beauty box bug yet, but it was fun to order one for him this time.

Winter 2014 Walmart Beauty Box

Right before the Christmas craziness, I received my Winter 2014 Walmart Beauty Box. The Walmart Beauty Box comes out 4 times a year and costs $5, which includes shipping. Beauty boxes are just plain fun.... especially if you are a product junkie like me. I am currently only subscribed to Glossybox and was glad to add this low-priced box to the mix. I also purchase the Target Beauty Box when it is available (it always a one-time purchase box).

 

My Winter box was sample-packet heavy..... I read that there are two boxes and the one I received was intended for their more mature audience. I *did* just turn 41, but I still like color cosmetics, so I adjusted my birthdate down after getting this box to see if I get the younger box next time. Overall, I'm still happy because $5 is a great price to try so many new products.

 

 

My box contains:

• L'Oreal Color Vibrancy Antioxidant Shampoo, Conditioner and Instant Shock Treatment (sample packet)
• John Frieda Luxurious Volume Shampoo and Conditioner (sample packet)
• Pond’s Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream (deluxe sample size)
• Olay Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Moisturizer (sample size)
• Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion (sample size)

Target Cyber Monday 2014 Beauty Box

On Cyber Monday, Target offered a few special Beauty Boxes, and I purchased both the "For Her" and the "For Him" box. (These went fast and are sold out.) I have had great luck with their seasonal beauty boxes, and I hoped the Cyber Monday boxes would be just as great. Today let's look closer at the contents of the For Her box. I paid $10, and Target offered free shipping on the box. Spoiler: I think it was a great deal!

 

clockwise from top left:

• Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum- sample packet
• Revlon HD Lip Lacquer in Garnet- full-size; retail: $8
• Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen in Black- deluxe sample
• L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Intenza Mascara in Black- full-size; retail: $9
• CoverGirl Eye Enhancers Quad in Smokey Nudes- full-size; retail: $4.50
• ChapStick Total Hydration Lip Balm in Sweet Peach- full-size; retail: $3
• Laneige Water Sleeping Mask- deluxe sample jar
• Clairol Hair Food Thickening Solution- full-size; retail: $12

Overall, I am impressed with the value! Not taking into account the deluxe samples and sample packet, this box had full-sized products in it with a value of $36.50! It's a great way to try new products. The mascara and lip gloss are the two products I am most excited to try.

 

 

 

Fall 2014 Target Beauty Box

In the past, Target offered a free seasonal beauty bag with some really nice samples. Recently, they began offering the Target Beauty Box as a one-time-purchase box. It looks like it will be available a few times a year for $7. I just received mine and wanted to tell you about it because it's still available and Target is offering free shipping on every order right now! (But be sure you go through Ebates- they offer 2.5% on Target purchases.)

Target Beauty Box
Price: $7 (one time purchase)
Contains:

• Elnett Extra Strong Hold Hairspray (value for 2.2 oz- $6.70)
• Fekkai Professional Blowout Hair Refresher Dry Shampoo (value for 1.7 oz- $8)
• NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil (value for .18 oz full-sized product- $4.50) 
• L'Oreal Colour Riche Extraordinaire Lipstick (value for .18 fl oz full-sized product- $8)
• Laneige BB Cushion Sample (3 samples in 3 shades) (value for one .07 oz sample- $4.75)

I came up with a value of about $32, and I'm super happy with this box. There was also a coupon for $3 off a $15 beauty purchase at Target, but they also printed that in this past Sunday's circular.

 

I have always wanted to try Elnett Hairspray, and can always use another dry shampoo. I will definitely use the eye pencil because I've been wanting to try highlight the inner corner of my eye, and this will be perfect for that. I am also excited to try the Laneige BB Cushion sample- I love that they included all three shades so I can try the shade that works best for me.

 

The only product I am a bit disappointed in is the L'Oreal lippie- the shade I received is Nude Ballet and I normally don't wear that shade of lip color. I did give it a try and I did like the formula though- it was really moisturizing, yet didn't run outside my lip line like most glosses do.

 

If you like sample boxes like me, this is a great one to try because there is no commitment since there is no subscription. It's also nice that you know what you are getting when you place your order!

 



Walmart Beauty Box- Fall 2014

I was so excited to get my first Walmart Beauty Box in the mail yesterday! At just $5 (for shipping, the box itself is free) this just can't be beat! Beauty boxes are just plain fun.... especially if you are a product junkie like me. I am currently only subscribed to Glossybox and was glad to add this low-priced box to the mix.

 

 

My box contains:

• Clear Damage & Color Repair shampoo and conditioner (sample packet)
• CoverGirl Continuous Color Lipstick in 425 Vintage Wine (full-size; $4.94 at Walmart)
• Secret Clinical Strength Invisible Solid Antiperspirant/Deodorant in Completely Clean (full-size, 2.6 oz, $11.97 at Walmart)
• Juicy Couture Couture Couture fragrance (sample vial)
• Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream Moisturizer (0.5 oz deluxe sample size)
• L'Oreal Revitalift Triple Power Deep-Acting Moisturizer (0.5 oz deluxe sample size)

 

I understand that there were two different boxes for the Fall, but I am super happy with mine. I actually had Secret on my grocery list and was excited to be able to mark that off! The lippie is in a shade I will definitely use, and I love sample packs of shampoo and conditioner for travel. Although I'm not big on perfume samples, I love skincare from both Olay and L'Oreal, so I am looking forward to giving these deluxe samples a try. They are definitely large enough for me to get a feel for the product and whether it's a fit.
