Birchbox April 2016 Review - Elegantly Effortless

Yeah! My Birchbox is here, and quite early. I received this on the 8th of the month, which is crazy for a subscription box. I would say they usually arrive in the middle end or the end of the month, so that is super early. Birchbox is a monthly subscription that delivers at least five and sometimes full size beauty samples to your door for only $10 a month. Also, you can review those samples for points that are redeemable in their online shop. You can save them up and purchase full size product of samples that you absolutely loved. It is one of my favorite boxes, and you're about to see why. 

This month, Birchbox paired up with Rifle Company to create this beautifully designed box. I love these painted flowers, and it is perfectly fitted with spring. I like to display these boxes all over my house, and I've even started bringing them into my office. The ones that I don't really care for, or don't go with my style are perfect for linen closets to organize and store product. This box definitely isn't one of my favorites, but I do like it, and I think it would fit perfectly in my bathroom. I will probably stack this with a few similar other ones for storage. 

This month's theme is Effortlessly Elegant. This month is going along with the renewal of spring and bringing products that will help revive your look with simple products to make big differences. I am all about this theme, because that is always my goal. I love products that are quick to use, but also create big results. I am excited to see what is inside this box and what these products can do for me. I am sure they will impress. 

Marcelle 3-in-1 Micellar Solution

$21.00 - 10 fl oz    ($3.57 Value)

Birchbox in particular has been raving about these types of products, and I've actually tried a different brand of micellar solution from one of my previous Birchboxes. This solution sweeps away makeup, cleanses skin, and soothes irritation. I like it because its a one stop shop for cleaning your face. I feel like the times that I wear the most makeup are also the times that I am least likely to take them off (like a late night on the town). This one step process makes it more likely that I will take off all that dirt and grime when I get home instead of just sleeping with it on my face. This does a great job of cleaning off all my makeup, and I also see it remove dirt that I didn't even know was there. That being said, I love this product, but since you don't rinse it off, it leaves a slightly sticky film on my face. Normally, I couldn't deal with that. Instead, when I use this, I will just rinse it off instead of leaving it on my face. 

PARLOR by Jeff Chasten Volumizing Lifting Spray

$24.00 - 4.9 fl oz    ($4.90 Value)

My hair is so fine and flat, so I could seriously use a product like this. I am already a huge fan of PARLOR products. They are all high end and smell great, so I am excited to try this out. This smells just as good as every other product of theirs, and works just as great too. I sprayed this on my dry hair when it needed a lift, and I noticed a big difference immediately. It created lift all over, but didn't leave it looking wet or greasy. I am in love with this volumizer, and this bottle will last me quite a while too. Only a few spritzes, and I've got instant body. Again, I always wish this line were cheaper, but I guess you have to pay for quality. This product is so great. 

TOCCA Crema da Mano Hand Cream in Giulietta

$10.00 - 2 oz    ($5.00 Value)

This is a sample that I've already been able to try before, but it was a different scent, which makes me really happy. I loved this hand lotion the last time I had it so much, that it went with me everywhere, and I used it up so quickly. I am really excited about receiving another one, especially in a new scent. I am a huge fan of all the TOCCA scents and actually have the perfume kit. Giulietta is molded after the scents of pink tulip and green apple. I expected it to be more crisp, but it is actually soft and sweet. Seriously, it reminds me mostly of spring. I like this hand cream a lot, and it quickly replenishes my dry hands, but this scent isn't one of my favorites. I will definitely use it up, though. This will either go in my purse or sit on my desk at work. 

Dr. Jart+ Liftra Contour Cream

$60.00 - 50 ml    ($6.00 Value)

I think out of all the samples this month, I am most excited to try out this contour cream. This cream doesn't create the appearance of beautiful skin, but it actually helps your skin by creating collagen. That visibly firms and adds volume to your skin. My natural skin used to be full of life, but I've noticed it quickly forming wrinkles, losing lift, and becoming dull. This product could be a miracle cream, and I wouldn't be surprised coming from the Dr. Jart+ line. This is on the thicker side, and feels like a thick lotion. I rubbed this all over my clean face, and while I didn't notice any firming in my face instantly, it replaced my face lotion. After a few uses, I did notice a small difference in my appearance. I really like this product, and this sample, while small, will last me a while. 

Laura Geller New York Baked Blush-n-Brighten in Tropic Hues

$28.00 - 0.176 oz    ($6.36 Value)

Honestly, I already have this blush, and it is my go to blush. Seriously, I only wear this blush. I like that it looks pretty natural with the multiple colors and the baked feature makes your cheeks glow. Since I already love this product, and I already have it, I think I will just be passing this along to someone else. I don't think I will ever go through the one I have, and I would hate to see this one just sit. I am pretty bummed I didn't get this blush in a different color, because I love the formula so much, but I would like to mix up the color every once in a while. This is a great sample, but unfortunately it's a sample that I just don't think I'll ever use. 

Overall, I am really happy with this box. That volumizing spray is amazing and the Litra could do wonders with my skin. I really like the hand cream even though the scent isn't my favorite, and the micellar water is the perfect solution in cleaning my face quickly while still improving my skin. The only thing I am a little disappointed about is getting the same perfume that I already have. Otherwise, I would have been really happy to receive that blush. It is amazing. This month's box has a value of $25.83. That is pretty normal for Birchbox, and I am completely happy with that amount, because it is more than I paid, and I am really happy with all the items I received. This has been a great month for Birchbox, and I hope they continue.

Target Beauty Box March 2016 Review

My Target Beauty Box has arrived, and pretty quickly too. Target Beauty Boxes now go on sale once a month at the end of the previous month (I bought this in February), so it has almost turned into a monthly subscription. The only thing is, you have to purchase it every single time it goes on sale. They range from $5 to $10, so they are completely affordable, and they offer samples and full size products from lines found at Target. So, they could be really affordable household names or products that are higher end that you've never heard of before. I am really excited to see what brands they have for me this month. 

I've noticed recently that Target Beauty Box now has a theme each month. This month's theme is Vacay Vibes. This is perfect for spring and the very popular spring break that happens this month. Also, since spring happening and summer is right around the corner, you may not be leaving the cold just yet, but you'll be able to use these products pretty quickly. I am excited to see all the spring ready products this box has in store for me. 

Lineage Water Sleeping Mask

$24.00 - 70 ml    ($6.86 Value)

We've received their water face moisturizer in one of their other boxes, which I really liked, so I was excited to see another one of their products in this box. This is just like the water moisturizer, but instead it is a night face mask that you apply before bed and rinse off in the morning. It left a super light layer on my face that was really soft and comfortable, and despite it being a little sticky in some areas, this didn't come off on the pillow or rub off at all through the night. In the morning, I could tell it was still on my face when I washed it off, which felt like I was washing off freshly applied moisturizer. I didn't notice my face to be that much more moisturized, but it didn't feel even slightly dry, so I'm going to say it worked. I will pull this out every time it feels a little dry, and this little jar will last me a while. I am really happy with this sample. 

nugg Revitalizing Face Mask

$3.29 - 10 ml    (Full Size!)

I have seen these everywhere, and I know so many people that have tried them, and since I have only heard great things, I expect this to be good. I really like this single use jar, and it makes for easy application. I know they have a few different types, but I am happy with the revitalization one. My face has been looking really tired and dull lately, so I hope this does the trick. I have yet to try it, since I'm waiting for a time that I want to look my best. Also, if I like it, they are really affordable, and I can get them at target down the road. 

Hair Food Apricot Shampoo and Conditioner

$9.99  each - 17.9 oz    ($0.37 Value)

I've been able to try out a product from this line before, and while it works really well, it smells really natural and grainy. Almost like I'm applying a Trader Joe's to my hair. Again, I like this shampoo and conditioner good enough, but the smell is not my favorite. I liked this sample, but I don't ever think I would purchase the full size bottles. Also, I really wish this were more than just the foil samples, because I like to give it more than one try. Otherwise, the nutrients are great for your hair, so despite the smell, at least you won't lose completely. 

Caress Fine Fragrance Adore Forever Body Wash

$3.99 - 13.5 oz    ($0.53 Value)

This is another item that I've been able to sample before, and since I really enjoyed it, I am happy to use up another sample. I think I've received like four of these in previous boxes, and a few of them were completely free, so this isn't too excited to receive otherwise. The smell is nice though, like a deep, fruity perfume, and these small samples are perfect for traveling. That could be great if you are going somewhere for spring break and you don't want to bring your large bottles. I will throw this in the shower and use it before date night, or when I want to feel a little romantic. 

Banana Boat Sun Comfort with SPF 30 Sunscreen

$7.11 - 6 oz    ($1.19 Value)

While I wasn't too excited about this product at first, it's new formula makes me very interested in trying it out. Sand is always sticking to my body after applying sunscreen, but this comfort sunscreen will make the sand fall right off your body. I have yet to make it to the beach, but I am really interested in trying this product out. This does have your typical sunscreen smell, but since I'll be wearing it to the beach, I don't really mind. I wish I were going somewhere for spring break so I could try it out, but I will be at the beach soon enough. 

Sinful Colors Professional Nail in Wonder Mint

$2.02 - 15 ml    (Full Size!)

I actually have a few Sinful Colors nail polishes in my stash already, and I really like their quality for the price. It isn't the best nail polish, or longest lasting, but the colors are really fun, and it is so affordable. This blueish mint is perfect for spring and reminds me of a clear ocean. I could see myself wearing this on my toenails all spring and summer long. I don't really have a color like this in my collection, so it will be a great addition. This is a fun color, and I am glad I got one that I will actually wear. 

you are AMAZING Juicy Grapefruit Body Lotion

$3.99 - 8 oz    ($0.50 Value)

This is a completely new line at Target, so I am excited to give it a try. The lotion is on the thicker side, which I prefer with any product I use on my arms, legs, and feet. I feel like it works really well, and it leaves my normally dry legs, elbows, and feet completely comfortable and moisturized. The grapefruit scent is real, but more creamy smelling than hard citrus, and it isn't too overpowering. I love this lotion, and I wish it were a larger sample. I will have to pick some more up the next time I'm at Target. 

Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray

$2.99 - 2 oz    (Full Size!)

I am already a big fan of Not Your Mother's brand, and Sea Salt Texturing spray is my go to hair styling item after dry shampoo. I like that this is on the lighter side, because sometimes they make my hair look damp and weighs it down a little. I also like that I can apply this when my hair is wet and scrunch it up a little, or I can apply this to dry hair to give it a little more texture. I really like this spray, and it is such a good price. Plus, this is a full size bottle, which is on the smaller size, but since you don't need a lot, this will last forever. I am really happy with this product, and it may even be my favorite of the box. 

Overall, I am really happy with this box. It was really cheap and included a wide variety of products and brands. There wasn't really a makeup item, but since I receive plenty of other beauty subscription boxes, this doesn't bother me. I love the moisture mask, the sea salt spray, and body lotion. The nail polish is great, the shampoo and conditioner were fun to try, and the body lotion is very practical too. I am really excited to try out the sunscreen and face mask when I need them. This month's box has a value of $17.75. That isn't too exciting, but the samples are worth more than the value to me. They were all fun to try, and I've found some new gems. I can't wait to see what new products Target has in store for me next month. 

If you would like to try Target Beauty Box keep an eye out for the next sale date. They sell out quickly, so you have to scoop one out right when they go on sale. 

Walmart Beauty Box Spring 2016 Review

My Walmart Beauty Box has arrived for the Spring season and I am excited to see what is in store for me. Walmart Beauty box is a seasonally subscription box that delivers samples and some full size items to your door for only $5 a box. They are mostly all drug store brands, but I enjoy that, since it is nice to try out cheaper items that work really well. Also, this box is so affordable, and the value is always much better than the price, so why wouldn't you just try it out. Also, since there aren't any spoilers, I have no idea what is inside, so it is always a nice surprise. 

The boxes don't really come with an itemized card or a theme, except that it is spring, which is a real bummer. Sometimes I really don't know what the item is or how it is used, so a description would be nice. Also, if I really like the an item, it would be nice to see how much it costs. But, since they are pretty basic items, there isn't really any confusion most of the time, and I can always go online if I want to read into it a little more. 

Colgate Optic White Platinum Express White Fresh Mint Toothpaste

$3.96 - 3 oz    ($1.91 Value)

I love whitening toothpaste, especially since my teeth tend to darken from all that coffee I drink. This product promises to whiten your teeth after three days of use, since I use toothpaste every single day (obviously) I am sure I will see results. Also, after using this just once, my teeth feel completely clean. This isn't a full size tube, but it is a pretty good size, so this will last quite a few uses. It would also be perfect for traveling. I hate when travel samples aren't that big, and I need to bring a few for an extended trip or when multiple people are using it. This would be the perfect size.

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Visibly Brighter Subtle Lightening Shampoo

$8.97 - 8.3 fl oz    ($2.16 Value)

I do have blonde hair, so this isn't the perfect item for me, but I have used their Brilliant Blonde shampoo before, and it is one of my favorites. I guess I could use this, since it is brightening, and it helps my hair glow, which I am all about. Also, this product smells so good, and I love smelling it in my hair all day long. After one use, I did like the extra texture in my hair, and it did seem to be just a tad brighter. I won't purchase this after I use this one up, because I'm not a brunette, but this is a higher end product, and I am happy to see it in this box. 

 

Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer for Fair to Medium Skin Tones

$11.37 - 10 fl oz    ($2.27 Value)

I am all about using lotion to create a nice, subtle tan, especially since my skin is so fair and I don't want to damage my skin by the sun. I am always worried about tanning lotion, because sometimes it makes your skin orange, and you can't touch anything as it dries. This product is more like a lotion with the benefits of a natural looking tan. Also, since it is gradual, you don't have to worry about it applying evenly. I do also like that after one application your skin appears to glow. I think this is the perfect lotion to apply to my legs for the first few times they see the sun. That way I won't be embarrassed by how white they are now that the weather is heating up. 

Biore Baking Soda Pre Cleanser

$6.12 - 6.77 fl oz    ($0.90 Value)

I am a huge fan of face scrubs, and this one is supposed to clean out your pores while gently exfoliating. Also, it smells super refreshing, so my face not only looks and feels clean, but it smells clean too. This scrub is a little soapy, but not too much, and the scrubbing beads are noticeable, but not gritty where it is a little painful. I really like this face scrub, and I can see myself purchasing this in the future. Also, this sample is pretty large, so this will last me at least a month. I really like their baking soda products after all those dark charcoal products that don't work that well for me. 

Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Stick in Pink Grapefruit

$6.62 - 0.08 oz    (Full Size!)

This lip color doesn't only look great with my skin tone, but it also moisturizes and heals them over time. It is packed with natural fruit extracts and mango, which replenishes and conditions. I have always been a fan of neutrogena, but I believe this is the first lip product of theirs that I've owned, and I am pretty impressed. The only problem with moisturizing lip stick is that they tend to not stay in place. That is not ideal when you wear a darker shade and especially when you don't have access to mirrors the clean it up. Also it's not very long lasting. I think I would prefer this product in a more natural color, but I will be happy to use this. It is also a great color for spring. 

CeraVe Healing Ointment

$20.87 - 12 oz    ($0.15 Value)

This reminds me of vaseline, and it does a lot of the same things. This product promises to protect and soothe dry, cracked, and chafed skin. I think this is the perfect ointment for elbows, dry cuticles, and lips. It is a little greasy, but I think this would be ideal to apply before bedtime or while moisturizing the rest of your body. This tiny bottle is perfect for throwing in my purse to apply when I really need it, or to keep by my bedside for when I need to apply in the middle of the night. I like this sample, but I honestly wouldn't buy this over a cheap bottle of vaseline.

Vera Wang Embrace Periwinkle & Iris Eau de Toilette Spray

$28.32 - 1 fl oz    ($1.13 Value)

Unlike many people, I really enjoy receiving perfume samples in my subscription boxes. I really enjoy trying out new scents, and I am always looking for something that is perfect for me. Also, I like to switch up my perfume with my mood and to match what I am doing. This particular scent isn't my favorite, and I am not a fan of the powdery, clean scents. It kinda reminds me of an older lady perfume. I did notice that Vera Wang has an array of different scents, so I would be interested trying some of those out. The green tea and pear is the most alluring. This isn't really for me, but I will throw it in with the other scents I have and wear it once in a while. 

Burt's Bees BB Cream in Light/Medium

$15.00 - 1.7 oz    ($0.26 Value)

I am already a huge fan of the Burt's Bees brand, and their products are always high quality. Also, since they are mostly all natural, you can feel good using them, and you also know that you are rubbing chemicals into your skin. This BB cream is the perfect replacement of your normal foundation, and even though there are three colors to chose from, this light/medium is the perfect color for me. I am really impressed with the coverage, and you have to use a lot less than the normal foundation for complete coverage. This is probably my favorite sample out of the group, and unfortunately, it is the smallest one. I have a full bottle of foundation right now, but I will happily purchase this once I need it again. 

Overall, I am really happy with this season's Walmart Beauty Box. I enjoyed all of these samples, except the perfume, and they will all get used up, especially since they are all so practical. Also, I think these products are a little higher end than I am used to from this box. This box has a value of $15.40. I am really happy with that value, especially since it only cost $5. The moisturizing lipstick is worth more than I paid all by itself. I hope they keep getting better, and I really can't wait to see what they have in the summer box. We will see in three months. 

If you would like to try Walmart Beauty Box for yourself, just click here. I really like how practical the items are, and it is super affordable. 

Bulu Box Weight Loss March 2016 Review

Yeah! My Bulu Box is here, and I am ready to restart my fitness and health routine after a cross the country move kinda got in the way of that. I am settled now, and I want to get back into feeling great and treating my body right. Bulu Box is a monthly subscription box that offers at least five samples of supplements, vitamins, workout tools, and even some snacks for only $10 a month. Also, sometimes they include full size items. I used a coupon code to get each box for $5 for the rest of my life. That is a great deal, and I suggest you use it too. 

Bulu Box allows you to review your samples for points that you can spend on full size products in their shop. That means that I will get at least $7.50 to spend in the shop for a box that only cost me $5. I think that is pretty great deal, especially when it is to help yourself get into shape, or be healthier on the inside. I really enjoy this box and the samples inside. They always surprise me, and I already feel healthier. 

Yule Plant-Based Nutritional Shake

$49.99 - 600 g    ($3.33 Value)

This protein supplement is completely all natural, and comes from plant resources so it is vegetarian. With ingredients like cocoa, raw chia seed, and raspberry, it has great flavor and will give you the energy you're lacking. I think this is a great supplement for anyone who is vegetarian or vegan. When I stopped eating meat, I noticed a huge lack in energy, and I was craving is so much so I could get off the couch and move my body. This is a great way to get that protein you need without having to eat animals. Maybe with an item like this, I will be able to go back to a vegetarian lifestyle. 

Fru-Licious Fru-Slices Freeze-Dried Grapes

$11.99 - 12 pouches    ($1.00 Value)

I always think is a little weird that they include snacks in the weight loss beauty box, but as long as they are low calorie and nutritious, I guess I can understand. These freeze dried grapes are both of those things. This whole pack is only 38 calories, and they are grapes, so they have all the nutrients that come with that fruit. I normally really like freeze dried fruit, but grapes were a little weird. They look really gross, and the sourness of the grape doesn't translate well as a freeze dried snack. They do have a nice crunch, so that will be great when I am craving something like chips. These were alright, but I know I would have rather tried out the apples or the strawberries and bananas. I am glad I got to try them out, though. 

Nutrition Now PB8 Immune System Support

$23.90 - 60 capsules    (Full Size!)

I think immunity support is very important when you are working hard, really busy, and not getting a whole lot of sleep. This capsule is backed with good bacteria with helps your body perform at its best. There are times when everyone around me is sick, and I can't afford to stay home for a few days to heal, so I am really interested in trying out this product. I have yet to dig in, but I know I will once that happens. Also, this is a full size product, and is worth four times the amount I paid on the box, which is crazy. I am really happy with this product. 

Bakery on Main Nut Crunch Snack

$17.97 - 3 4oz bags    ($1.50 Value)

This is another snack in this month's box, which is a little annoying, and to be more annoying, these aren't low calorie or nutritious. They are gluten free for anyone following that diet, and they also contain zero fat and cholesterol. I guess that is nice, but so does licorice, and it isn't a healthy option at all. Because they aren't good for you, they have to be delicious, which is the truth. These were so yummy. Also, this small sample bag is a nicely portioned snack. The larger bag would probably make me overeat. I enjoyed this sample, but I am not ready to purchase this full size product. 

Super Juice "The Fountain of Youth"

$32.00 - 12 pack    ($2.67 Value)

This super juice is a cure all. It is an antioxidant powerhouse, it detoxifies, supports the immune system, assists with bone and joint health, supports healthy skin, hair, and nails, and is packed with protein. You already know how happy this makes me. I love cure alls like this, and that added protein source makes this a complete win. I do sometimes feel a cold coming on, or everyone in my entire office is sick, so instead of drinking orange juice, I would be happy to drink this to keep those illnesses away. I have yet to try this out, because I want to keep it for those times, but I bet it won't be the best flavor with all those nutrients. It is small enough to drink it quickly though. 

KT Tape Pro

$22.99 - 20 strips    ($3.45 Value)

I am really excited about this addition to this month's box. It is an item that completely fits in with the health and fitness subscription, but something I wouldn't expect. It is important that you feel good while working out, because an injury could really stop you from getting exercise longer than you like. These workout tapes will allow you to keep weak muscles from hurting and making sure tendons stay in place. It is also a lighter hold, so you will be able to move much easier than with your normal brace. I have yet to try these out, because I have yet to need them, but I have a feeling these will work really well. I will stash these for a time that pain is stopping me from getting my workout in. 

4D Clean Energy

$35.96 - 25 count    ($2.88 Value)

These little packets contain a pre-workout supplement with high quality ingredients that help you get up and go. It is really difficult for me to workout sometimes. I am always exhausted from work, so this natural energy will get me up and going, even when I don't have the slightest amount of energy. This doesn't have much more information than the bullets on the card which state, mental clarity, endurance, multi vitamin, joint care, antioxidants, and aloe vera. These are all great things, and I am happy that it is more than just natural energy. Plus, the creamsicle flavor could help curve those sweet cravings. 

Overall, I am pretty impressed with this month's box. I am really excited about the two antioxidant defense products, and the protein additives. The KT Tape is really cool too. The two snacks are either god or bad for me, so I am a little disappointed about that, but I guess they will get eaten. I am not sure about the 4D energy packets, but hopefully they work really well. This box has a value of $38.73. I cannot believe that amount. This box only cost me $5 and I get $9.50 back in points after reviewing the products to spend in the shop. That means the value is closer to $50. Once in a while, Bulu Box surprises me with boxes like this, which is one of the reason I like it so much. 

If you would like to try Bulu Box for yourself, just click here. It is a great way to get yourself into shape without a gym membership. 

Bulu Box Weight Loss February 2016 Review

February is the time that people start falling of the horse a little from their new year's resolutions, so this Bulu Box is a good reminder to stick to it, and keep up my healthy and fit lifestyle. Bulu Box is a fitness and nutrition subscription box that delivers at least five samples to your door for only $10 a month. Sometimes they even include full size products. Also, if you use a coupon code, you can get $5 boxes for life. I only spend $5, so this box is totally worth if for me. I've been able to stock up on vitamins, shake additions, and healthy snacks. This is a great value, and I really enjoy trying out all the samples. 

Each box only costs me $5, but I get at least $7.50 to spend in the shop on full size products every month by reviewing the samples. I save up those points to spend on items that I really enjoyed, so each box is basically free. Also, they are always having sales in their shop, and you can really save on bundles. Hopefully this month will include some samples that I would like to spend my points on to get more of those products. I am looking forward to seeing what this box has in store for me. 

Almased 

$33.99 - 17.6 oz    ($3.48 Value)

Amassed is a meal replacement made with ingredients that are proved to improve metabolism, give you energy, balance blood sugar, and burn fat while retaining muscle. On the website, they also give really good recipes for your meal replacement shake. I will probably add my normal fruits and grains, but I am excited to give this a try. I have been trying to eat less, and lose weight, but it is impossible to skip meals. It isn't healthy, and I feel weak from the lack of nutrients. Plus, I don't have energy to workout. I can't wait to give this a try, and I have a feeling it will work perfectly. 

MealEnders in Chocolate Mint, Cinnamon, Citrus, and Mocha

$14.95 - 25 pieces    ($2.39 Value)

This interesting "candy" is a helpful way to trick your brain into not overeating by giving you a thin layer of sweet taste, like dessert, then a cool tingling sensation that triggers the trigeminal nerve. Those sensations signals the brain that the body is full with only 15 calories. This will save you from craving dessert, or even that second place of food. I do tend to overeat, especially if I am super hungry before eating, or if it is food that I love. I am talking about pizza. These will be a great way to enjoy the food I eat without overindulging. Also, this could stop me from eating donuts in the office or eating cake for those weekly birthday parties. I can't wait to give these a try. 

NeoCell Beauty Infusion in Cranberry Cocktail

$32.99 - 11.64 oz    ($1.11 Value)

This isn't the first time I've received this sample, but I am alright with that, because I really like what this does, and it is also perfect to mix into smoothies. This drink additive helps add collagen to your skin, which helps you to look younger, but it also helps with hair and nails. I do normally just drink smoothies for protein and nutrients, but it makes sense that I'd want to look as good on the outside as I feel on the inside. This cranberry flavor tastes pretty good, but it doesn't go with my normal smoothie flavors. These are pretty expensive, so I won't be purchasing the full size container, but I am happy to try out this sample once again. 

Caveman Nutrition Bar

$25.00 - 15 bars    ($0.12 Value)

I don't really like that they include food in the weight loss box, but I guess you can help those cravings all the time, so it is nice to splurge once in a while. I know that dark chocolate is pretty good for you in small amounts, because it doesn't include the added sugar and cream, but that is also probably why I don't love it. It is way too bitter. I will probably enjoy this bar enough, though, and I will happily save if for a time that I am craving chocolate without any in the house. 

Tiger Balm Ultra Strength Pain Relieving Ointment

$12.99 - 18 g    ($1.44) Value

This is another sample I've received before, and I loved it. I had a really bad back pain that was making it difficult to sleep, let alone workout. I had my boyfriend apply this to any area that was hurting, and it was gone within minutes. But not only that, the muscle pain was much less the next day, and it disappeared completely a few days later. I have seriously considered purchasing this full size container, and I probably will once I collect enough points. I love this product so much. It is a little strong on the scent side though. 

Smarty Pants All-in-One Adult Complete + Fiber Gummy Multivitamin

$32.99 - 180 ct    ($0.37 Value)

Once again, I've been sent this sample before, which I understand because they had to send me another box since mine did not arrive, and once again, I'm happy to have more of these to use. I hate swallowing pills, so these gummies are a great way to get my vitamins without having to stress over taking them. Also, you can kinda taste the vitamins packed inside, but it is more flavorful and tasty than it is undesirable. I would totally purchase these, but I have to go through all the ones I have at the moment first, and that could take a while. I couldn't feel good about purchasing more until I declutter the cabinet first. 

 

Skinny Me Tea

$19.95 - 30 bags    ($0.67 Value)

This is a detox tea will completely clean out your system of all the toxins and excess waste we build up over time. You can use it the night before to start a cleanse fresh or you could use it as a cleanse all on your own. They recommend to drink it the night before a cleanse, and within eight hours, you will depose of all the waste, making you feel light and fresh and completely cleaned out. Once in a while, I feel just heavy and gross inside, so this tea will be great for me. It also has a citrus taste, which I love, so it tastes great too. I really like this tea, and I'd be happy to sample more in the future. Maybe I'll buy the full size box. 

Overall, I am pretty happy with this box. Since my first box didn't arrive, and this is a replacement, I've received some of these samples before (beauty infusion, smarty pants, and tiger balm), but I am not bummed about that, because I really liked these the first time I tried them. I'm excited about the almased, the meal enders, and the tea, and I am sure I will really enjoy that chocolate bar when I crave it. This month's box has a value of $9.58, which is pretty good for a $5 box. Also, this is basically free, so any value on top is a win.
