Unlike most boxes, this box doesn't come with an informational card. Since the products inside aren't listed out, I am sometimes unsure what the product is. Also, it would be nice to see prices and get tid bits about each everything inside. Usually, though, everything is mostly self explanatory, and I can always go online to see prices or get more information. That would be a nice upgrade, though.
Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Unscented Lotion
$8.48 - 32 oz ($0.53 Value)
I have been a Vaseline lotion user my entire life, which started with my grandma and mother. This Intensive repair does a really nice job to completely heal all of my dry skin, and the unscented (mostly) lotion makes it nice to apply on top or below perfume. This travel size bottle is also great for throwing in any bag or purse. This does feel just a little greasy though, so I wouldn't suggest using it as a hand cream throughout the day. This was a nice sample to try, but it definitely isn't the best lotion I've ever tried.
Incoco Coconut Nail Art Nail Polish Strips in High Style
$4.97 - 12 strips (Full Size!)
I have actually never used nail wraps in the past, so this is something I am excited to try out. These act like nail polish, and they won't come off until you use nail polish remover. This style isn't exactly my favorite, but it would be fun to wear with a little black dress. I am really excited to try these out, and maybe I will pick up some more in my style. This is also a full size product, which is really cool. I am a fan of this product, which makes the price even more exciting. I can't wait to try these out.
Schwarzkopf Essence Ultime Diamond Color & Radiance Shampoo & Conditioner
$6.96 each - 13.5 fl oz ($1.75 Value)
I've actually had the chance to try these before in the past. This shampoo and conditioner remind me of Pantene Pro-V. The formula is white and creamy and leaves your hair feeling soft and super clean. I am not in love with the scent, though, and you can really smell it the entire day after you wash your hair. This isn't my favorite shampoo and conditioner ever, but these will be nice for travel, and I will definitely use them up. Also, I am a little bummed about receiving a sample again. I want to try new products!
Simple Micellar Cleansing Water
$5.37 - 6.7 oz ($0.11 Value)
These micellar cleansing waters have been the new dry shampoo as in I've seen them popping up everywhere and they are the new miracle beauty product. This product is a waterless cleansing product that takes off makeup, dirt, and whatever else settled on your face that day with just a cotton ball. I like this for those long nights out where I wore a lot of makeup and I don't want to take any longer than a minute to wash my face. This product is also supposed to help your complexion overall. I really like this little sample, and am already tempted to purchase the full size product. My only complaint, this sample is way too small, and the packaging really sucks for multi use.
Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Medium Leg Makeup
$10.57 - 4 oz ($1.98 Value)
This is not a product that I would ever purchase on my own, but I am really enjoying this sample. This makeup lightly tans your legs to create a nice glow. I think this is absolutely perfect for me, because I don't like showing off my legs because they are so white, but then I don't expose them to sun and they are forever white. This makeup looks pretty natural and doesn't go too dark, so it is perfect for rubbing on your legs while in a dress or wearing shorts for the first few times during the summer months. I am a big fan, and would consider purchasing this product in the future. I just don't like how it easily gets everywhere when applying.
Lady Gaga Fame Black Liquid Eau de Parfum
$23.79 - 3.4 fl oz ($0.28 Value)
This is another sample that I've received in a Walmart Beauty Box before, and I wasn't really a fan the first time. This perfume features a blend of belladonna, incense, apricot, honey drops, orchid, and jasmin. I can't really put a finger on it, but this scent just isn't special, nor does it smell like anything special. I feel like this is the generic scent you smell while walking through the Walmart perfume isle. I am not a fan, and I really won't put this my perfume sample rotation. This is a pure miss for me.
Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant Clean Mint Fluoride Anticavity Toothpaste
$3.48 - 4.3 oz ($0.73 Value)
Yeah! I love mini toothpaste samples, because they make the perfect travel product. Also, this is a brand that I would never have tried out before in toothpaste, and I really like it. I wish this offered whitening, because I am a chronic coffee drinker, and my teeth always have a brown tint after a day of drinking, but I see they have that option in their other products. I really enjoyed this sample, and will definitely bring it with me on the next trip.
NIVEA In-Shower Cocoa Butter Body Lotion
$5.99 - 13.5 fl oz ($0.14 Value)
This is another product that I've sampled before, but not in a Walmart Beauty Box. During the winter, I spend at least five minutes after each shower applying body lotion to my skin so it doesn't itch or feel super dry. This is the first time I've used the cocoa butter scented product, and it reminds me exactly of the regular lotion. I love this product because it is so simple to apply, and also super quick, which saves me so much time in the end. I really like this product, but I don't think I would consider purchasing the full size product until the winter dryness sets in.
Goody Slide Proof Soft Touch Silicone Elastics
$4.82 - 8 elastics (Full Size!)
Again, I've sampled this product before, and they have already been added to the hair tie rotation. When I workout, I hate how my ponytail falls, and it takes away from giving the workout my all. I often try to keep my head still to try to prevent my hair from falling down. These non-slip silicone elastics work really well and keep my hair in place. I wouldn't really wear these for any other reason than working out because they aren't really cute, and the little silicone bits do break off into your hair. I will just use them for the reason intended and mix these into my rotation as well.
Overall, this season's box is just middle of the road. There were a lot of travel size basics that would be great to take with my on trips. Also, there were a few new products that I've never tried before that could easily become everyday gems for me. I am a little bummed about not having a makeup product this month, and there were some duplicates, but overall, everything will get used. This box has a value of $14.58, which isn't the best, but since this only cost $5, I am alright with that value. I think this isn't the most exciting box, but I do like the practical items, and I really can't wait to see what else they have in store.
