Wal-Mart Beauty Box Review {{Summer 2015}}

I got my Wal-Mart  beauty box subscription this past week. Wal-Mart boxes ship seasonally, meaning 4 per year, and only cost $5! They are filled with a variety of coupons, sample packets, travel size samples, and full size products. This to me is worth the $5 price tag. You can go here to get your own.

For the summer box, there was a bunch of goodies that I am excited to try. 

• Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara: (travel size) excited to try this waterproof, clump free, volumizing mascara. 
• Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy: (travel size) I will definitely use this at some point, my scalp does get flaky during the winter which is rapidly approaching. I like the idea that hair gets stronger while your scalp gets the TLC it needs. 
• Nivea Soft Creme: (travel size) I plan on throwing this in my purse. It has a light scent, goes on clean and non-greasy, and feels great on your hands. 
• John Frieda Sea Waves Sea Salt Spray: (travel size) this has a light scent and I am excited to try it in my hair to see if it leaves a crispy feel. It touts that it texturizes and is non-drying, so we'll see on that one. 
• NYC Felt Tip Liquid Liner: (Full size) super excited by this eyeliner. I love to use gel liners and other precision eye liners and this one has a double sided tip, so that you can create a thick, full line or a smaller, softer line. 

There was also a few smaller samples that you can see in the picture, but the one I was most shocked by was the You & I perfume by One Direction. It has notes of fresh fruit and seasonal flowers, with an undertone of musk. It smelled good! I wish that sample had been larger, as it was only one application. 

Has anyone else tried the Wal-Mart Beauty Box yet? 

Wal-Mart Beauty Box Review

If you weren't aware, Wal-Mart also does a beauty box subscription. Their boxes ship seasonally, meaning 4 per year, and only cost $5! They are filled with a variety of coupons, sample packets, travel size samples, and full size products. This to me is worth the $5 price tag. You can go here to get your own.

I signed up the end of February, so I was sent the Winter box and then the Spring box all within a few weeks of each other. I love that you don't get charged until you get an email with the shipping confirmation, meaning you don't pay until the box is coming to you.

My Wal-Mart Winter Beauty Box arrived and I was pleasantly surprised to find the following:

• Hard Candy Lip Stain Crayon  (full size) goes on hot pink with flecks of glitter, but tones down quickly. I layered with a more muted pink lip gloss and it lasted about 2 hours. 
• Tresemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo (travel size) is something I like, but leaves my hair chalky. I am saving for a trip. 
• Dove Advanced Series Dry Oil for hair (travel size) I probably won't use this, as my hair is thin and fine, so adding oil (dry or not) doesn't do well for me. 
• St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub (travel size) is something I like and use on my body. The salicylic acid helps me to keep my chicken skin at bay during the summer. 
• Dial 7 Day Moisture Lotion with Yogurt Protein (travel size) this is going in my purse, as I love travel size lotions! 

The rest of the box was all sample packets and coupons, so I am not going to write about those. But, as you can see there were a bunch! 

My Wal-Mart Spring Beauty Box arrived a few weeks later. It didn't contain any full size products, but it had just enough for me to not feel slighted. I was still getting the same amount as I do in my ipsy bag, which I pay $10/month for. 

• Dove Go Fresh Mandarin and Tiare Flower Scent (travel size) I have this in the full size and LOVE it, so I am planning to take this travel size with me on vacation this summer. 
• Simple Cleansing Face Wipes (travel size) I love face wipes and use them every, single day. I am planning to take these in my beach bag on vacation. I use them on my armpits as needed when on the beach, so this was the perfect beach bag size. 
• Lady Gaga Fame Perfume (sample size) is a womp, womp for me. I am, admittedly, not too fond of perfumes. I am sticking this somewhere far, far away. 
• Shwarzkopf Essence ULTIME Shampoo/Conditioner (travel size) I am curious to try these, as I have seen them on the shelves and wondered. I am debating taking them with me to Mexico this summer or trying them beforehand. Has anyone tried this brand before? What are your thoughts?

Again, there were sample packets and coupons as well. I know I will use all the coupons, as they are for makeup brands I use. Overall, I think the Wal-Mart Beauty Box is worth the $5 price tag.
