Walmart Beauty Box - Summer 2016

Hello again.

Today I wanted to share something exciting with you. I received my Walmart Beauty Box for Summer 2016!! Woo!!

This beauty box is only $5 quarterly. Yes, you read that correctly. $5!! And it is jam packed with awesome goodies that you can find in your local Walmart store. Let's get in to what you came here for..

These are the Incoco Coconut Nail Art Strips. Can you believe I have never tried nail strips before?I'm pretty excited. 

There is a sample of Lady Gaga's Fame Black Fluid perfume. Normally I am not a fan of celebrity perfumes but this one isn't bad. It has a sexy, musky and slightly sweet scent. I kind of like it. I appreciate that it is a spray sample and not one of those that you have to dab on. 

We got the Schwarzkopf Essence Ultîme shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair. It's a very generous size and it's good for travel. Plus it smells nice too. 

This is totally a blast from the past! The St. Ives Apricot Scrub. Man, I used probably 10 bottles of this stuff in high school. I was obsessed. Now I know that this scrub is waaaay to harsh for my skin so I will probably be giving this to my man to use but it was nice to see this in my box. I can't believe they still make this stuff! 

Here's another oldie but goodie. The Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs in Medium. I have a trip coming up very soon so this will come in handy for sure. I know we already received this a few boxes back but it's nice to have again. 

I have extreme desert hands. Seriously. I think it is because I wash them so much but my hands are always dry and cracked looking. I am so glad to have the Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair lotion to throw in my purse. It is unscented and sinks quickly in to the skin without making you a greasy mess. 

Lastly we have the Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant toothpaste. Well... Like I said, I am going to be traveling soon and this will be handy to take with me. 

They also sent come coupons but that's boring to look at so I spared you from it. 

I must say, this quarter the box is not what I have come to expect from the beauty box. Normally they give beauty products like lipsticks or nail polishes and this month it was mostly health and body products. Most of this stuff will be useful but I was really hoping for something fun.

Until next time.

Play! by Sephora - June 2016 Review

Hello!

I recently received my Play! by Sephora box for June 2016 and I can't wait to share what was inside with you guys. 

This month's theme is The Minimalists. 

Everything can wrapped all pretty in this little bag. I honestly don't know what to do with these bags, they aren't really useful but they are cute. If you have any suggestions of how to repurpose these bags please let me know. On to the good stuff.

Let's start with the Tocca EDP in Florence. This perfume packs a punch. It smells like sunshine and flowers on a warm spring day... times 20. It's nice but very strong. And it is not a spray sample. I spilled half the bottle trying to open it. Not fun. 

I am always down for sample sizes of mascara and Benefit's They're Real! is one of my faves. I have probably 2 or 3 of these in sample sizes already and I ain't mad to get another. 

Bumble and Bumble's Don't Blow It (h)air styler seems interesting. It is a cream for fine to medium hair to use on no heat, low fuss days. It smells amazing. I have very fine, wavy/curly, oily hair so I'm curious as to what this will do to it. 

I'm intrigued by the BareMinerals BareSkin Sheer Sun liquid bronzer. The fact that it is a liquid absolutely terrifies me. Maybe it will be nice to mix in with some of my lighter foundations this summer. 

I have recently been looking for a good facial sunscreen that won't be greasy on my already oily skin. Sephora came to my rescue and now I can try the Tarte Tarteguard 30. Yay!

The Becca Backlight Priming Filter is my favorite product this month. I have tried this in the past and absolutely LOVE IT! Yes I have oily skin and yes I still love this  primer. I really find that it doesn't make me look more oily. It just makes my skin look pretty and gives life to my super matte foundations. It also helps my foundation last a lot longer than they normally would. 

I really feel like Sephora knocked it out of the park this month. All of the products were great and I wasn't disappointed in the least. Hopefully they keep up the good work!

Are you excited about the products this month? Are you excited for next month's box?

Until next time.

Ipsy Glam Bag - June 2016

Hey guys.

I just received my Ipsy Glam Bag for June 2016 and I'm just gonna get right on down to the nitty gritty... This month was pretty awesome. Let's jump in and see the goodies. 

I must say that I am not thrilled about the actual bag this month. Just not my style. 

First up is the Japonesque Solid Brush Cleanser. This is a goat milk cleansing balm that smells absolutely divine. I can't wait to try it out. 

Next is the Elizabeth Mott Show Me Your Cheeks blush in Peach Pink. I love the tone of this blush. I think it will be great to use during the summer months. As you will see in the swatch, it doesn't look like much but on the cheeks it gives a nice flush. 

I am so excited to see the Urban Decay eyeshadow in Lounge. It. Is. Stunning. There really is nothing else to say except that this is my favorite product this month. 

The Jouer highlighter in Tiare is a gorgeous cream highlight. It's so beautiful. Jouer is one of my favorite brands and I'm so happy to see one of their products in a Glam Bag. 

Here are some swatches of the eyeshadow, highlighted and blush. So pretty. 

Lastly, I received 2 BioRepublic sheet masks. I am obsessed with sheet masks and I hope I love them. 

What do you think of this month's bag? Did you get different products? Let me know. If you would like to join Ipsy you can check it out here. It's only $10 a month. 

Until next time.
