This is going to be the first of many beauty box posts in the next week or so, because they all arrived within 2 days of each other this month…so get ready! I decided to start with the Walmart Beauty Box, because (spoiler alert)….it’s the most disappointing one haha but let me not get ahead of myself – here’s the Walmart Beauty Box for spring: Walmart Beauty Box Cost: $5 – the box’s premise is that you pay the $5 for shipping, and the “samples” are free Frequency: Quarterly subscription Type of products: Deluxe samples mostly, sometimes foil samples. Mostly body and shower…

Lancôme Influenster Box Review
I mentioned in my Friday Favorites last week that I was sent a few products for free from the social marketing website Influenster. I’m working on a post about Influenster and how it works, but the basic idea is they send out items or groups of items for free to users, in exchange for honest reviews and word of mouth marketing. Since this box is similar to the other beauty boxes I always write about, I wanted to write a dedicated post reviewing the stuff I got! This is the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra VoxBox: This is definitely the highest value VoxBox (Influenster’s term for…

Macy’s Spa Set Review – $90 Value?
Today I have a bit of a different review, but I’m putting it in the beauty boxes category because it’s a set of beauty items and it arrived in a box….haha This is the Macy’s 8 Piece Spa Gift Set: This is basically just a gift set of a bunch of different “spa” products. I originally saw it on My Subscription Addiction where they posted that it was marked down from $25 to $12.50. It has 6 deluxe samples of skin products, a headband and a bag. I was intrigued because it says this is a $90 value…………we’ll see about that *detective emoji*…

Walmart Beauty Box Winter 2017
It’s been a while since my last Walmart Beauty Box way back in October, and today I have the Winter box to share! The Walmart Beauty Box is a quarterly subscription box. It’s marketed as a box of free samples for which you only have to pay shipping, which is $5. So whatever way you slice it, it’s a $5 box. The winter box is only my second Walmart box, but I’ve gotten quite a few from Target, Sephora and Amazon since then, so I have more of a handle on this whole beauty box thing now! The winter box is SO…

Amazon Beauty Box Reviews
You know what I say…another day, another beauty box! Like in my last Target boxes post, I have TWO boxes to show today, and they’re both new to me. Today I have the Amazon Beauty Sample Box and the Amazon Luxury Beauty Box. I had no idea that Amazon did a beauty box – I got the luxury one for Christmas and the regular sample one just a few days ago. From what I can tell, there are a few differences between Amazon boxes and other subscription boxes: Amazon boxes are offered exclusively to Amazon Prime members. If you aren’t already a Prime…

Bare Minerals/Buxom Gift Set Review & Swatches
Today I have a review of something really cool that I got for Christmas – a massive gift set of BareMinerals and Buxom products!! I didn’t really know what to call this post, because this set doesn’t really have a name, but I wanted to write about it anyway 🙂 My mom is really good at getting sets like this for a great price – this one contains 14 products!!! Also I had no idea that these two brands had the same parent company but here we are. Anyway, I was so excited to receive this box because I’ve tried very…

Walmart Beauty Box Fall 2016
After happily subscribing to Sephora Play for the past few months, I was interested in trying out some other beauty boxes. From browsing other subscription boxes, I stumbled upon the Walmart Beauty Box. I’ve always been more of a Target person myself (this is an understatement as I am OBSESSED with Target), but this box appealed to me because it comes every season instead of every month, and it’s only $5. I thought it was too good to be true, but it really only is $5 for each box! The reviews I read looked pretty decent, so I got myself signed up…
