What's in
the Box?
I realized I had not reviewed the Walmart beauty box even though I had posted a photo of it on Instagram. Walmart sends out a quarterly beauty sample box for $5 - which is basically the shipping - this really shows me how much value our Ipsy and Birchbox subscriptions are.
L'oreal Age Perfect Cell Renewal Day Cream - (full size $24.49) This came with two samples but I have used one of them. I love it - the smell - the way my skin feels after - definitely something I see myself buying.
Pond's Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream - (full size $8.97) I am not a huge fan of the Ponds brand but this is a nice sample and I will try it out. It does not smell bad - I cannot stand a face cream that smells gross.
Pond's Wet Cleansing Towelettes - ($.80 - full size $4.67) - Another item from the Pond's brand - but I know I will like these. I love getting cleansing clothes in boxes because I use them and they are handy. This one did not make my eyes sting or irritate my skin.
Nivea Cocoa Butter - (full size $4.97) I like the Nivea brand but wish the sample size had been bigger. I am a huge fan of cocoa butter - it is one of my favorites. There just is not enough in this sample. It would probably do one arm. The coupon is to save $1 on any size bottle.
Aveeno daily Moisturizing lotion - (full size $8.97)I like the Aveeno brand and it is good for people with eczema. This was a nice size sample too - nice little bottle you can throw in your purse or diaper bag. I might just stick this in the diaper bag I got for my sister.
Olay Tone Perfecting Cream - (
full size 21.95)
This is a cute little sample and since it only goes on your face, may last awhile. I love getting moisturizers is boxes - use them twice a day. This brand is one I believe in too.
John Freida Volume packets - (full size $5.47) I am not a fan of shampoo and conditioner packets mainly because I have a lot of hair and they rarely have enough product to notice if there is any difference. I like the John Freida brand but I already have hair with tons of volume. Volume is not my problem - it's frizziness and dryness. I will pass these on to a friend.
L'oreal Color Vibrancy Shampoo and Conditioner with an Instant Shock treatment - (full size $5.97) I do color my hair so I will try this out but like I said there is not enough to try for several days. I do like that it comes with a shock treatment sample. I use a John Freida product right now called Radiant Red color conditioner but I am almost out.
Many of the boxes also received a lip product but they ran out of those samples so we were given a substitute item. I do not know which of these was that product. I should also tell you this is the older box that goes out. If you are younger, there is a different box that does not focus so much on anti-aging creams. I would have been a little happier to get a box with a Cover Girl lipstick or lip gloss but this was okay. I like trying out new stuff in smaller sizes before committing to buy full size and hate it.
