Walmart Beauty Box Summer 2015 Review

My Walmart Beauty Box for Summer has arrived, and I haven't seen anything that could be inside, so I am excited to try out all these samples. Walmart Beauty Box is a seasonal sample subscription box that is delivered to your door for only $5 a box. While many subscription boxes are full of high end beauty products, Walmart's beauty box allows you to try drugstore brand's new products before you purchase the full size item. 

Each subscription box comes with a card describing the box as a whole, but does not describe each item. I wish that this card would explain each item, because sometimes I am not sure what they do, or how they are used. Plus, when I really like an item, it is nice to see how much it costs without having to look it up.  

Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy Complete Care Shampoo

$4.98 - 12.9 oz         .66

I've tried this product before, so I already know that I like it. This shampoo has a heavier, soapy lather, which I would compare to your everyday drugstore shampoo. It leaves my hair feeling really clean, but I wouldn't say there is anything too special about it. I do love the way it smells, and that stays with my hair all day, making me feel clean up until the next shower. I really wish they threw in the conditioner sample along with the shampoo so I could get the full effect. 

Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara in Black

$6.83 - 0.21 oz        5.20

I love receiving mascara in my subscription boxes, because I love trying out new formulas. I've found a few mascaras that were perfect matches for me over time. This mascara is not too exciting for me. I do like the big, thick brush, but the formula itself is a little weak. I usually like mascara that makes my eyelashes pop, but this is one that leaves just a small amount of coverage. I would wear this when I want to add a small amount of cover to my eyelashes, but I don't want it to appear as if I were wearing any makeup. Neutrogena claims this to have create loads of volume, but I do not see this to be the case. I probably won't ever purchase this mascara in the future. 

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Boosters Facial Cleanser

$7.26 - 9 fl oz          .40

I really like the Neutrogena brand for all skin products. That being said, this is another product that I've sampled before. This is a soapy facial cleanser that starts as a gel and lathers lightly with water. I usually don't like these kinds of facial cleansers, because they don't seem to work as well as one with scrubbing seeds or a creamy texture. For what it is, I like it, and I will definitely use it up. I don't think I will be purchasing this full size item again. I would like to try more of their facial cleansers, though. 

John Frieda Beach Blonde Sea Waves Sea Salt Spray

$6.99 - 5 fl oz        1.40

I am really pumped to get this in my Walmart Beauty Box. I have just started trying out Sea Salt Sprays to create some natural waves in my pin straight hair, and these really do the trick. I tried this on freshly washed hair, and it didn't really do much after it dried, which was a little disappointing. My disappointment was reversed when I tried it on second day hair. This created the perfect amount of natural waves with a little bit of scrunching. I really like the John Frieda brand, and I am happy to find a product of this sort at a good price. I will definitely pick up a bottle of this once this one runs out. 

NIVEA Soft Moisturizing Cream

$2.61 - 2.6 oz          .84

I use moisturizing cream almost every single day, so this sample is perfect for me. This formula is definitely very soft and has a nice creamy texture with the perfect amount of thickness. While this sample wouldn't go too far on my whole body, I opted to use it as a hand cream, and I like that it moisturizes well and dries quickly so I can get back to work. I really like this jar, which makes it easy to throw in your purse and take with you anywhere. I really enjoyed this sample and will definitely pick up this brand in the future when I need some more lotion. 

Ken Paves You Are Beautiful Volumizing Shampoo

$12.98 - 8.5 fl oz                1.53

I have never heard of this product or brand before, so this is a completely new sample for me. The packaging makes this brand appear a little cheap, but I found that out to be not so true. The shampoo has a nice, light lather that goes along with many of the high end shampoos I've tried in the past. The smell is super yummy and smells earthy and organic, which goes along with the ingredients. I had to use a lot of the product in order to cover my entire head, so this sample will only be good for one use, unfortunately. I really like this shampoo and will have to consider buying it in the future. 

Ken Paves You Are Beautiful Volumizing Conditioner

$14.98 - 8.5 fl oz            1.76

This conditioner smells just like the shampoo, which makes me really happy. It has a nice creamy texture that gives my hair a nice deep condition. Again, I had to use the entire sample to cover my head, which is a bummer, because I wish I had more of a sample to use later. After the shower, my hair was super easy to comb, and it dried to be really soft and full of volume. I wish this brand were a little cheaper. I hate to spend that much money of conditioner, but I might just have to splurge. Since it is at Walmart, I believe this brand to be pretty accessible. 

Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in Gladiolus

$7.97 - 0.1 oz

I have already become a big fan of this lipstick and shade in the short few days I've been able to sample it. I normally have really dry lips, so lipstick doesn't go on too smoothly. It is usually a cracked mess. This lipstick is a little different. It has a moisturizing formula, even though it is technically not a tinted moisturizer. That being said, it stays on boldly like a lipstick, but keeps your lips moisturized like a chapstick. This shade is the perfect bright reddish tint, and I love wearing it for summer. The only flaw to this bright shade is that since it is such a dramatic color, and it wears off every few hours or so, you have to always be checking yourself out. I wouldn't recommend wearing this anywhere where mirrors aren't available. I would like to try this lipstick in their other shades. 

One Direction You & I Eau de Parfum

$29.77 - 1 fl oz                1.49

I think it is a little funny when boy musicians come out with a perfume for their female fans. These perfumes are usually cheap smelling and are aimed towards a younger demographic. My expectations were right on for this perfume. While I didn't hate it, I feel like my older years have turned me on to more mature scents. This does include a lot of the tones that I usually enjoy. That includes melon, flower, and a little musk. This was fun to try as a sample, but I will not be purchasing the full size item. Ever. 

Jergens Natural Glow 3 Days To Glow Moisturizer Medium to Tan

$6.75 - 4 fl oz       1.42

I was a little afraid to use this tanning lotion, because it is for medium to tan skin, and I would consider mine to be on the lighter side. I tried day one, and I am quite impressed with the amount of color it gave me and how natural it looked. I was a little afraid to add more, so I stopped with one. I would love to try this for my skin tone, because it worked so well with one use. I think I'll save the other two packets for when this one wears out, or when winter turns my skin pale. 

Aveeno Active Naturals Protect + Hydrate Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Lotion 

$7.37 - 3 oz        1.23

Aveeno has always been a nice drugstore brand and one I completely trust. I love trying out new sunscreens, especially higher end ones that I can wear on a regular basis instead of just at the beach. I wore this on my arms, shoulders, and face when I went to an outdoor brunch with my girls. Those are the times I always forget to wear sunscreen, even though I am just as much in direct sunlight as I would be lying in the sun. I liked the light, non sunscreen smell, and I didn't expose my skin to harmful rays or leave me with embarrassing red arms. This product definitely reminds me to take care of my skin. 

I really enjoyed this season's box. It had quite a few samples I've never tried before and ended up really liking. This box only cost me $5 for shipping, and I estimate it to be worth $23.90, which is a great deal. The last few boxes only contained a few samples, but this season's box had quite a few. I could see this box costing more in the future, so I would suggest getting it now at this price.

PopSugar Must Have June 2015 Review

PopSugar Must Have is one of my favorite subscription boxes, but because it is so expensive, I usually one get one once in a while as a treat to myself. PopSugar is a monthly subscription box for $39.95 and delivers items that are trending or the best in fashion, beauty, home, fitness, food, and more. I like the variation of these products, and the items are usually all something that I use and love. I hope that there are some items that I end up falling in love with in this month's box. 

This month's box seems jam packed, and I am excited. Each month comes with an item card that describes each item, but I always put this aside, because I like to be surprised. One reason I splurged on this box is because of a free clutch promotion. I loved this clutch from a previous month, and at a $49 value, I knew I had to get this box. They may have suckered me into sticking with the subscription for a minute. 

Yogitoes Peacock hBand

$4.00

I have been practicing yoga for quite a while now, and I've been wanting more accessories. This tie dye headband is super cute and isn't super tight on my head, but still stays in place. The different positions in yoga always makes hair fall in my face, and this definitely keeps it in place. I also could use this to pull my hair back for many different reasons, like washing my face or going on a hike. This could definitely be thrown in the laundry to wash away all the sweat, but I am worried it might lose some of it's hold. I will definitely use this product over and over.  

Quay Australia Mandate Sunglasses

$45.00

Again, this is another hit for me. I like higher end sunglasses, because they actual use sun protecting tint on the lenses. These are perfect for wearing during any outdoor adventures. I don't like to wear my Ray Bans while playing sports, because they seem to be too fragile, but these will definitely work. The matte black frame is so stylish, and I love the carrying case. It seems very durable itself, and it will keep my shades safe when I'm not wearing them. I can't wait for summer weekends to go out and show off these cute sunglasses. 

Pacifica Enlighten Eye Brightening Shadow Palette

$14.00

I've received items from the Pacifica brand before, and I really like their organic ingredients mixed with their luxurious designs. While the box was beautiful, this palette is pretty simple. I am a fan of these colors, though. They go perfectly with my pinkish, light skin, and I can definitely see myself wearing these colors all summer long and maybe into fall. That plumb purple will help it transition into a new season. I am glad this box contained a palette that I will definitely wear, and I am excited to try these new colors. 

SPONGELLE Boxed Flowers-Fleur en Boite in Papaya

$16.00

This body wash soaked sponge was something completely new to me. By running this under warm water, it slowly dissolves it's body wash creating a softer sponge ready to use. The first use was a little rough. The sponge was still pretty stiff, but by the third use, the sponge was really soft. I bet I still have a few uses from this sponge still. I would estimate a total five uses. That is pretty good, but I wish it were more. It's a little pricey for only 5 uses. Plus, its a lot of packaging. I hate seeing all this waste. At first I didn't care too much for the scent, but once getting it out of the wrapper, it was a lot sweeter. I guess I am a fan of Papaya. The sponge, being so hard at first, created a nice scrub. This is perfect for getting your body beach ready for summer. 

"In the Unlikely Event" by Judy Blume

$16.77

I am so happy this was in this month's box. Judy Blume was a big part of my childhood, and I always read all of her books. Once I heard she was coming out with an adult novel, I knew I had to have it. This book is about a multiple plane crashes in one town and all the events that happen afterward. This seems to be the perfect light beach read, or maybe something to tow along for a road trip or on the plane for a global trip. I will be bringing this with me to our lake house for the weekend of the 4th. In between boat rides and fire pits, I will definitely find time to sink into this story. Plus, since I received it in my box, I won't have to go out and purchase it on my own!

SNAP Infustion SUPERCANDY

$3.98

The food addition in these boxes usually aren't that excited, because I've purchased it before, or I purposely didn't purchase it before. You know what I mean/ This, on the other hand, is something completely new, and something I will really enjoy. I love sweet, gummy candies, and sour is my jam. I am also an energy addict. I drink so much coffee everyday, and after coffee, I am always eating foods with natural energy. These were pretty yummy. They kinda reminded me of vitamins chews, but with more sugar. I like that these contain vitamins, antioxidants, and electrolytes. I would totally pick these up to snack on over any other candy. I hope I start seeing them around.   

Sweet & Spark

$30 Gift Card

While gift cards are a fun addition to the PopSugar Must Have box, and they are a great way to explore new brands, they usually aren't enough to purchase something without spending more of your own money. In this case, the $30 gift card won't purchase a single thing on this site without spending additional money. That is really dissapointing for me. On the other hand, each piece from this shop is handmade and one of a kind. I think I may have to splurge and pick out the perfect piece for me. 

SORIAL Saffiano Wallet on a Chain

$49.00

This wallet is from last November's box. I fell in love with it and was completely jealous of everyone that received it, because I didn't. But, now I am a happy girl. This wallet was free as a promotion to start this subscription, and I am happy with my decision. This wallet isn't too big, but it is perfect for an elegant event, or to use for a night out. I like that it is elegant, but really fun. This silver chain is quite long, so it hits you at the right spot. I have a few weddings this summer, and this wallet will be the perfect accessory to go along with my dressy outfits. 

I am really happy with this box. I like everything, yes EVERYTHING from this month's box. I estimate this box to be worth $174.75. I know that each box has a value of $100 or more, but this is more than I expected. I think after being so happy with this box, I am going to keep it going and try out next month. I've seen both boxes that I would love and not care for, so I hope next month continues to satisfy me.

Bulu Box June 2015 Review

My Bulu Box has arrived for the month of June, and I am pretty excited. I love Bulu Box and the heath and fitness samples they deliver every month. Bulu Box only costs $10 to be delivered straight to your door. With each box purchased, you receive $5 in rewards to spend in their shop on full size items. You also get $1 for each item you review from your bag. That means each box is initially free, or even worth more depending on the amount of samples you receive. 

Each Bulu Box comes with a heath or fitness card that can help you to become a healthier person. It also comes with a itemized card that not only describes each item, but it also lets you journal the effects. I always keep these and write everything down. Then, when it comes time time to use my reward points, I can go back and see what items I liked the most. Plus, it is fun to remember what items I've received in the past. 

UP4 Adult Probiotics

$36.95 - 60 capsules        

I have been catching every cold, flu, and itchy throat as of late, which is probably due to the long work hours and stress that comes with. I took this supplement when I was starting to feel low on energy and a little bit of an itchy throat. This cleared it up within a day. Unfortunately, I did notice the same feeling come back a few days later, so it didn't get rid of it completely. I do wish I had more of a sample so I could see if this works over a longer period of time. I may just have to purchase the full size product. 

UrgentRx Upset Stomach Relief To-Go

$15.98 - 12 packets        



Bulu Box always delivers natural remedy samples with their subscriptions. Sometimes they are something that I really like, and other times, they aren't something I would really use. This sample is the middle of the road for me. I don't have upset stomaches that often, so I don't have that much of a need to use this, but I will save it for when I do need it. I almost prefer to take a tablet then to spread something over my food or toss it in my drink. I hope this works when I actually need it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Bach RESCUE Pastilles Natural Stress Relief in Cranberry

$15.49 - 2 containers           

I took one of these pastilles when I was stressing about my long to-do list. These little tablets have a light, tart cranberry taste. I was surprised that these weren't too chewable. They are a hard gummy texture that you have to suck on for a while. I didn't mind this at all. I did notice a difference with my stress. It seemed to slowly melt away. I tend to have a lot of stress with work and obligations, so I hope this will help me relax I am a fan of these, and would be interested in trying different flavors.  

Xlear Natural Saline Nasal Spray

$14.99 - 1.5 fl oz   

I don't have allergies too badly in the Spring, but my boyfriend gets them pretty badly each year. I gave this to him to try out, and he really liked it. The saline gel really cleared up his nose, and he could breath like normal. It didn't last buy a few hours, though, and it didn't clear up any of his others symptoms. This is a good alternative to over the counter drugs, but for a full day's relief, it makes more sense to just take something that will last all day and clear up everything in the meantime. 

Martha Stewart Essentials Women's Multivitamin 

$16.99 - 60 capsules           

This is the second item I've received from Martha Stewart's new herbal remedy collection, and it's another full bottle! I take a multivitamin almost everyday, so this is a great addition to my bathroom cabinet. I think that Martha's brand is of great quality, and while I don't really feel a difference when taking these, I know that I am getting all the nutrients I need. Also, I love that this is a full size bottle. I am getting my money's worth from this box with this item alone. I am always happy to receive a full size of any item!

Food For Sleep Recovery Drink 

$24.00 - 6 2.5 oz bottles         

First off, this little bottle of sleep serum doesn't taste very good. You can taste a little of the tart cranberry flavoring, but mainly it is just gross. This reminded me of taking Nyquil. It is a light syrup that made me cringe after every drink. I took this at night when I was having some trouble falling asleep. I drank the bottle and layed down. This didn't help me sleep at all. I was up for at least another hour. This definitely didn't work for me, and it was too painful to drink. This sample just wasn't for me and I won't be purchasing anymore.    

This month's box was both great and not too exciting for me. I love the full size multivitamins, the stress relieving pastilles, and the probiotic herbal supplements. The others, I could just do without. I estimate this box to be worth $36.44, which is a lot more than the $10 I spent, and that isn't counting the $11 this box came with in reward dollars for their online shop. While some of these samples weren't my favorites, the good definitely outweighs the bad.

Ipsy Glam Bag June 2015 Review - Swim into Beauty

My Ipsy Glam Bag has arrived for the month of June, and I am excited to see what is inside. I did look at a few cheats, but even those don't tell you exactly what you're going to get, so I have no idea what is going to be inside. Ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription box with both sample size and full size items that is delivered straight to your door for only $1 a month. The value is always great too. 

This month's theme is Swin Into Beauty. They themes haven't really been making much sense except they always go along with the season or the holiday. Also, the products don;t tend to go along with the theme. I love the theme of a box, and love seeing how the items coincide. That portion of Ipsy always leaves me a little disappointed. I'm not that big of a fan of the bag either. It is really dark for the theme and feels like a diaper. I will hand this one off to one of my friends.  

This month's bag seems to be filled to the brim. I also looks like there are some full size items in the mix too. I can't wait to see what is inside, and how, if at all, it goes with the theme. Now looking at the bag a little closer, I could see this bag resembling the colors of a bikini, or something similar to swimming. In other words, it is growing on me. 

Selfie Tan'n Go Instant Face Bronzer

$16.00 - 1 oz

This is the first time I've seen a product like this, and I wasn't really how or if it would work. At first, I definitely used too large of a portion, but I learned quickly of my mistake. This clear liquid with bronzer beads quickly turn into a dark brown formula. My face looked really dark, and really fake. But, I was surprised at how well it worked. The second time I applied it, I used a good amount, and it did make my skin a shade darker. I would never actually buy this product. because it left a weird film on my face, and I felt like I needed to wash my face. Also, I have pinkish skin, and this product enhanced the red. I might use this on the rare occasion, but I feel like I'd have to cover any exposed skin around my face for it to not look too weird. 

SheaMoisture Shea Butter Lip Crayon in Sarah 

$9.99 - 0.1 oz

SheaMoisture is a new brand that I've been hearing about a lot recently. It is all natural ingredients, which has become more important to me over the last few years. Chemicals are everywhere, and it is nice to find some ways to not use them on your body. This lip crayon goes on smoothly and kept my lips moisturized. I had to reapply a few times throughout the night, and I was a little self conscious about this wearing off in weird ways. I don't think I would have chosen this color, but I'm glad that Ipsy sent it to me, because that way I can explore different and new colors. I like this brand and I will keep trying out their products. 

smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer 

$36.00 - 1 fl oz           

I am a huge fan of the smashbox brand, and I love all of their products. That is why I am so surprised that I did not like this product. I don't think that it actually works. I applied it on my face before the rest of my makeup as a primer. Besides the fact that it held my makeup in place a little better than a bare face, it didn't create a "Photo Finish." I thought it would fill in my pores or shield my fine wrinkles, but it really did neither. I am not happy with this sample and won't ever purchase. I hope other people are getting better results, but this product really sucks for m. 

treStiQue Shadow Crayon in Aspen Pine 

$26.00 - color & smudge              

I wasn't sure what this item was at first, so a item description card would have been a nice addition. I did go online and found out that it is an eyeshadow. This is normally a little darker than I like to use, but I am into trying new things. I rubbed this on my eyelids and it layed thick wherever I put it. The normal product comes with a smudge, which definitely necessary with this product. I tried to smudge with my finger, but it just wiped it off. I will have to buy an beauty tool or find something I have lying around the house to use as a smudge, or this product just isn't usable. 

BioRepublic Fiber Mask in Aloe Rescue, Green Tea Detox, and Cucumber Breeze 

$14.95 - 3 masks

I love face masks. They turn your house into a mini spa anytime you like. Plus, they make your skin feel amazing. I've never used a sheet mask before, so this was a new experience. I went with the green tea mask first. You have to unfold it very carefully, because it is pretty wet, and the sheets could rip. On the face, this mask was a little funny. I looked a little scary. The mask itself was cooling and felt full of good ingredients. I also liked how this smelled. So light and pretty. After 20 minutes with this mask on my face, it left my skin refreshed and hydrated. I just tapped the leftover product into my face. I am excited to use the other two. 

This month's bag is worth an estimated $56.44. I only spend $10, so that is a good amount of value. Really, I only spent $10 on this Glambag. I am only completely happy with two of these five items, so that is a little disappointing  I feel like Ipsy tends to have items that are a little cheaper, and or a little too new. At least I got to sample these before I purchased the full size and didn't like it. Also, the theme is Swim into Beauty, and I would not swim in any of these products. I wish the themes made more sense.

Birchbox June 2015 Review - Say Yes!

This month's Birchbox has finally arrived. The last few month's, my Birchbox came during the second week of the month. Since this box didn't arrived until the second to last week, it seemed like forever. I must be a little spoiled. Or, a lot spoiled, because I get Birchbox every month. Birchbox is a beauty sample subscription box for $10 a month filled with great new beauty products and has the best rewards program. I don't think I will ever cancel this subscription, because I love this box so much. 

I saw the three different style boxes for this month in the spoilers, and I love the one that came to me. I love the ombre pattern, and these colors are my favorite. I love that birchbox now decorates it's box every month. I keep the cute ones on my book shelf for storage, while others I use as storage in my bathroom cabinet. 

This month's theme is Say Yes! I really like this theme. It is so easy to be lazy and turn down invitations because I'm tired, or I don't want to get ready. Also, by saying no, we all could miss out on opportunities that might not ever come our way again. By saying yes, we all get to live a little more. This theme is perfect for June, because it is heating up outside, and we can all be a little more adventerous with our style, with our makeup, and just in general. I hope these products help me Say Yes!

Birchbox Plus

RumbaTime Orchard Gloss Watch in Lights Out

$45.00 - $28 w/ Birchbox Plus

For the last year or so, Birchbox has offered Birchbox Plus, which are a few additional items, usually accessories, that are offered with your BIrchbox for a discounted price. Usually, I like the items, but they aren't something I need, or I don't want to spend more money on something I don't love. This month, they featured a watch I have been eyeing for a while. It is normally $45, which is why I didn't buy it before, but with the discounted rate of $28, I really couldn't pass up on the offer. Plus, I knew it would be out of stock for a while after featuring it with their subscription. I love this watch, and it is really durable, while making my outfit look a little classier. I am glad I splurged on this, and will be more willing to purchase more of their plus options. Look at me, I already went with their theme and said yes!

Supergoop! Everday SPF 50 with Cellular Response Technology

$48.00 - 18 oz                

I've received a Supergoop! product before, and it was very similar to this item. I am not complaining, though. I do like the Supergoop! brand, and I love receiving high end sun block in my Birchboxes, because I don't tend to splurge on these items, and they save my face from wrinkles down the road. While this tube sample wouldn't be enough product to cover my whole body, I will save this to use solely on my face. I'll save the cheaper stuff for my body. I don't notice a difference with the Cellular Response Technology, but I bet it is doing something. This goes on light, and it doesn't smell like your basic sunscreen. This will help me protect my skin when I get outside after saying yes!

Dr. Jart+ Dermaclear Micro Water

$32.00 - 8.4 oz              

This was my sample choice of the month, and while it was a hard decision between a face wash / toner and cool firming eye gels, I am happy with this sample. I love toners, and this one cleans off all your makeup while purifying. I used this after a night out when I was too tired to wash my face, and it prevented me from gross, pimply skin in the morning. It does leave a super light film on your face, but I didn't care, and you could always rinse it off. I am really milking this sample, because I like it so much. The full size is a little expensive, so while I still will probably buy it, I want to make the most of what I already have. 

Pure Vida Lace Headband 

$18.00 - 8 pieces           

This headband was a Bonus item for the month, which makes me happy, even if I am not completely satisfied with the product. This neon, sherbert orange color isn't exactly my favorite and the doily pattern isn't my style, but I will happily wear this when I need to pull back my hair at home or while working out. I saw that other people received hair ties, which I would have much rather preferred. But, since this was an extra item, I can't complain too much. This headband was both simple and sturdy. I will definitely keep an eye out for her other items.  

Coastal Scents Revealed 3 Eyeshadow Quad

$19.95 - palette             

This sample wasn't one I was too thrilled with to begin with, but has grown to be one of my favorites of the month. I am not one to wear actual color on my eyelids, I usually opt for brown and white shades, but these colors are great. I like the gold shimmer with a little bit of deep reddish purple or dark lilac. Plus, this formula leaves the perfect amount of pigment on my eyes and lasts all night. I've received a Coastal Scents product before, and while I thought it was a cheaper brand, this product has really opened my eyes. These colors are the perfect example of me saying yes!

Klorane Shampoo with Mango Butter 

$19.50 - 13.4 oz            

I really like this shampoo. It smells so yummy, like a mango margarita, and left my hair soft, smooth, and manageable. It had a nice lather, but I wish it were a little easier to spread over my hair. My arms and hands were actually tired after scrubbing my scalp. My hair wasn't exactly dry, but this shampoo definitely added some life back into my hair. The new shininess is proof. I wish I didn't love this so much, because I'd rather fall in love with a cheaper shampoo, but I seriously cannot resist. I will definitely be buying this from Birchbox very soon. 

Klorane Conditioning Balm with Mango Butter 

$16.00 - 5.07 oz            

This is a small sample, so I didn't think I'd get much of a judgement from the uses, but I could tell a major difference with one use. This conditioner was heavier, so I didn't have to use as much to get it through my entire head of hair. I liked that I could comb my fingers through my hair in the shower, and it rinsed out easily. My hair was a little difficult to comb afterwards, but after it dried, my hair was soft, shiny, and bouncy. I love this conditioner. Also, it smells amazing!

Marcelle Waterproof Eyeliner in Indigo 

$11.00 - 1.2 g             

I've received a blue eyeliner before, which is a refreshing against all the black eyeliners I normally receive. I like how the blue eyeliner gives a new, cool look, and it really makes my blue eyes pop. Plus, it goes well with my other makeup choices like my go to coral lipstick. This eyeliner goes on smoothly, really, really smoothly, and lasted all night. I was able to rub it off when I rubbed my eyes, so its not too permanent. When Birchbox said that everyone would receive a Marcelle eyeliner in their box, I thought that it meant we would get the full size product, but it is only a sample. I guess I don't go through eyeliner that often anyways, so this will last me a long while. 

I am really happy with this box and all seven, yes SEVEN, samples that I received. I estimate this box to be only worth $11.67, which is pretty low compared to what I've received before, but I don't really care. I love all these samples, and I get $7 to spend in their shop after reviewing all of these. The bonus was a fun product that I will definitely use, and I am so happy I splurged on the Birchbox Plus item. It is something that I've been eyeing, and the discount made it a must. I am going to say yes to all of these products.
