Walmart Beauty Box Winter 2016 Review

Walmart Beauty Box - is a quarterly subscription service that will send you a variety of beauty products each season. All items are available at Walmart and you also receive coupons. They ask for your birthdate when you sign up, if you are under 35 you will receive the trendsetter box, and over 35 you will get the classic box. Walmart used to let you order samples from the website for free, but with the subscription box craze, that has now changed. I will not list prices since everything is sample size.

Cost: $5/season - meant to cover shipping charges
How Often: Quarterly
Ships To: United States via USPS  

It comes in a plain box clearly labeled Walmart.  These pics are from my sister, who receives more than one subscription, and since the items were all mixed together we are not entirely sure which ones were with which boxes. So, this is a blended review! Sorry so late on this sis!

L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Glow Renewal Facial Oil - Basic face oil. I believe this was in both boxes.

L'Oréal Revitalift Miracle Blur - This is definitely one of my favorite drugstore finds. It blurs lines wrinkles and pores. This can be worn both under or over makeup.

Jergens Natural Glow - This is probably the most popular self-tanner on the market, and my least favorite. I think this stuff works well for those who already have a natural base, but does not work well for those using a self-tanner to develop one. The primary reason I can't stand this stuff is the scent.

Aussie Mega Hairspray - Basic hairspray. I love the purple packaging associated with this brand.

Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair - This includes micro-droplets of Vaseline and works very well on overly dry skin. Another favorite find.

Act Advanced Care Plaque Guard - The flavor is clean mint.

Burts Bees Renewal Firming Night Crème - This is mostly made with natural ingredients, and it's infused with white hibiscus and apple.

Roc Multi Correction 5-in-1 Chest, Neck, and Face Cream - Helps restore elasticity and firmness.

Neutrogena Acne Correct and Cover Pink Grapefruit Moisturizer - I did not know this even existed. Pink Grapefruit is the best for clearing up any acne issues. But I'm really curious how the tint works, so I will have to pick this up and try for sure. I am disappointed this is simply a swatch sample, I think at least a 1 oz sample should have been included.

Olay Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Cream - I also think this is a useless sample. If this was perhaps a 1 oz sample size I think you could really get an idea if you liked this. But this is just not enough product to really try it.

Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream Moisturizer - I love that this is fragrance free.

Colgate Optic White Express White Fresh Mint Toothpaste - It's always great to get extra toothpaste from a box. I'm not sure I believe it does any good at whitening, but it can't hurt, right?

Banana Boat Sun Comfort SPF 30 - Basic sunscreen. I always like receving sunscreen, regardless of the size. The smaller sizes work for my purse and the larger for my trips.

Aveeno Absolutely Ageless Daily Moisturizer and Restorative Night Cream - This is a great trusted brand. I haven't tried either one of these products but you generally can't go wrong with anything Aveeno.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser - I love the Cetaphil moisturizers but have never tried the cleanser. I think this is a good size to get a feel for it.

Neutrogena Moisture Smooth Color Stick - Have I mentioned that lately I am really liking lip crayons? They are just so smooth and easy to use. Not that lipstick is ever really difficult.

Vera Wang Embrace Fragrance - Vera Wang is at Walmart now? Apparently just the fragrance lines are and some kitchen items.

Biore Baking Soda Pore Cleanser - I'm hearing about a lot of face cleaners that are currently using baking soda in them. I would think that would also help to exfoliate.

Curel itch Defence Body Wash - I bet this is quite calming for those suffering from eczema.

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shampoo - I didn't even know this was in a travel size. This stuff works great on my hair so always good to see it.

Ceravè  Healing Ointment Skin Protect - This is non-greasy. Heals and protects.

Burts Bees BB Cream - This is totally on my list to try. This sample is in light/medium.

L'Oréal True Match - This also deserved a much bigger sample, rather than just a swatch. I do like how there are so many shades to this line that you can be certain you will find a pretty good match. 

Some Random pics of the items, again, not entirely sure which products went with which box.

Quite a good selectin for this seasons Walmart Beauty Box!

Walmart Beauty Box Spring 2015

Hi Everybody. We have a guest reviewer today, so please welcome JoAnna! She is a long time subscriber to this blog. She is reviewing the Walmart Beauty Box Spring 2015 box. This box comes out each season, and you will be sent the box that is based on your preferences. It's technically free, but you do have to pay $5 for shipping.

Caress Body Wash - this is the new Caress body wash. I was really excited to see it because I had just saw a commercial and thought, hmmm, I want to try that. It's upposed to be scent renewing for 12 hours after use. just touch your skin and you can smell it. What a novel idea. I like the scent.

L'Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Total Repair 5 Shampoo & Conditioner - I also love the smell of these. I am always happy to try stuff that make my hair soft. It's kinda flowery scent, but more like fabric softener, lol.

Nivea in-shower body lotion - This is a foil packet sample, but still interesting. I like stuff like this so I am looking forward to trying it. Nivea is a good brand.  

Burt's Bees Renewal Intensive firming serum - Again, a good brand and the kind of stuff I like. I'm willing to try this. :)

L'Oreal Age Perfect Glow Renewal face oil - I will say I'm a little scared to put an oil type product on my face, but I do trust the brand so I'm game to give it a try. As long as it doesn't have a scent that I hate or won't go away....I really prefer unscented in my face products.

Garnier Night firming cream -  I have never used anything like this. But its a sample and I'm willing to try it.

 Olay Pearl Regenerist Serum - I already tried this. I LOVED it! Made my skin feel so soft.

 Dial 7 Day moisturizing lotion - This is new. This has a peachy citrus smell. I have dry skin and with Spring finally here I want a good lotion. I liked this one. I will probably buy a full size bottle.

 Lady Gaga Black Liquid Perfume - Yuck. But someone who likes perfume might like this.

The Blushed Nudes 12 shades - Get it first at Walmart. This is a notice of a new product coming out. Wal-Mart will have it first. Sadly there was no sample with it. LOL. I would have loved a sample. Or a full size. LOL, dare to dream!

There was also a $5 coupon for Rogaine. I don't need it by my neighbor was happy to get it.

I always enjoy Wal-Mart boxes. They are worth more than we pay. This one was a LOT of fun. Each item, except the perfume, was a  hit in my humble opinion.

Thanks for having me as a guest blogger!

Walmart Beauty Box Winter 2014 Review

The Walmart Beauty Box is available once again. K got her box, but I did not receive mine yet. I'm sure it's on the way.  The box is $5, which I think is designed to cover shipping. You fill out a profile and they are supposed to gear the box more toward your age. K is in the younger age group and she got 2 Ponds products, and 3 Dove products. I'm not sure I'm getting how this mix was for the younger crowd.

 Ponds Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream - I can't picture why they included an anti-aging product, but I guess never too young to start?
Ponds Wet Cleansing Towelettes Original Fresh - K can use these.

Dove Advanced Hair System Oxygen Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner - K is out of shampoo, so we are sending her home with several different options. She said she'll use these first.

Dove Deep Moisture shower - K is ok with this.

Covergirl Outlast All-day lipcolor Canyon - K didn't want anything to do with this one, so we'll trade it. The color and the brand is just not for her.  

This extra sample packet was included. K is not interested in trying it, and it's not her color anyway.

We did not like this seasons box as well as we liked the Fall box. Mostly because it didn't seem to be that much of a variety. First time subscribers: Your subscription will be processed when you sign up and you will receive the current seasonal box. For all future Beauty Boxes (2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.) you will only be charged when your next Beauty Box is shipped. Each seasonal Beauty Box is a limited edition and may sell out at any time. Note: Beauty products may vary by box.
