To my surprise, Walmart has decided to jump into the beauty subscription services. For only $5 (which includes shipping costs), Walmart will ship a beauty box to you every 4 months at the start of each season.
I was a bit skeptical about what Walmart could offer for $5 per month. I mean after all, there are a lot of beauty subscription services that have been in the business longer and with higher rates, but the offerings have been less than impressive. Nonetheless, I decided to take a chance and I have no regrets!
After opening the box, I was greeted by 5 deluxed size products and 1 full sized product. Everything was packed neatly and the box itself is not flimsy at all. They really took the time to make the packaging nice. Let's dive into the box's contents.
Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream Moisturizer, 0.5 oz (Full size: $25.99 1.7 oz)
Let's face it. Olay products are not cheap so I was pretty happy to see this in my box. It is lightly scented and the cream itself has a nice consistency to it. It is suppose to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time. It is also suppose to exfoliate brighten and smooth. I'm in no rush to use this since even at my age (38), I really don't have any wrinkles but I guess preventing them or at least prolonging the aging process is ideal. Once my current stash of beauty products are exhausted, I'll bring this out. Man, I should be looking like a 12 year old by the end of the year with all of the anti aging products I have been using.
Loreal Revitalift Triple Power Deep Acting Moisturizer, 0.5 oz (Full size: $24.99 1.7 oz)
Another moisturizer from the Loreal Paris Revitalift line. Would have been nice if they wouldn't have included two moisturizing products in the same box, especially if they claim to do the same. As with the Olay Regenerist moisturizer, this product claims to repair wrinkles, reforms contours, and help with facial volume. My face is naturally plump and baby like. No more volume for me, please. I will use one day but I'm not in too huge of a rush.
Cover Girl Continuous Color, It's Your Mauve ( Full size: $4.94)
While I'm not a Cover Girl fan, I am lippies fan and I was happy to see this in my box and it is full sized! However, I have so many lipsticks in rotation right now so I'm not in a huge rush to open this. This will be put in a box with so many other colors I have yet to use.
Secret Clinical Strength Antiperspirant, 1.6 oz (Full size: $11.97, 2.6 oz)
I've never been a huge Secret deodorant fan, namely do to the price and me just liking the Degree brand of deodorant better. Still excited to try this out though. As soon as my Degree product runs out.
Couture Couture by Juicy Couture, .05 oz (Full sized: $89.00 3.4 oz)
I love Juicy Couture perfume samples! I will never be able to afford the full sized products, therefore I am happy to receive as many samples vials as possible! This particular scent smells sexy (Don't ask me what sexy smells. Hell if I know but it sounds good, right?) And I will use this only when I'm rocking a lingerie piece for my guy.
Clear Scalp & Hair Damage & Color Repair Shampoo & Conditioner 0.28 fl oz (Full size: $5.99, 12.9 fl oz)
This was the least exciting sample product in the box. Ive received this from other monthly subs but I have yet to use it. I'm partial to Garnier Fructis products and I'm actually getting into more healthier hair products such as Marrakesh and Acure. Plus, this contains sodium laureth sulfate and I'm trying to get away from that ingredient (I'll be kissing Garnier Fructis goodbye because of that ingredient as well). I won't be using this anytime soon.
So basically that is the Walmart Beauty Box for the fall and I must say it's so totally worth the $5! I can't wait to see what the Winter Edition box will offer! Interested in signing up? I have included the link below:
