Here's a picture of my awesome box! I was so shocked when I opened it, and even more shocked when I started reading into the items :)
The first thing I pulled out was this 5.5 oz jar of Shea Sugar Body Scrub in Coconut Lime from Tree Hut. This is exactly what it sounds like...a sugar body scrub in coconut lime scent! It's made with natural coconut & lime extracts and certified organic shea butter! 
I love how big this container is, and the awesome color :) It's lighter than the picture, I've been having lighting problems with my camera :P I was very shocked at the consitancy of this product. I thought that it was going to be like, a wet jelly salt, but it's like a liquified Gak almost...except not really? I don't know how to explain it, but I love it. I used it in the shower yesterday and it really made my skin feel clean :) I followed my arms up with a shea butter lotion, and it made them feel so smooth!
You can purchase this same jar from Ulta for $4.99 :)
Next I have this 3g sample of Brazen Eye Shadow in Birthday Suit! This is a beautiful nude skin tone color, which is awesome because with eye shadow, I'm not all out crazy. I just started dabbling into it, and like to use neutral colors. Brazen is an indie cosmetic group that is organic! I tried getting a good picture, but my camera is older so it doesn't really focus on smaller packaging.You can purchase a 3g eye shadow sampler on their website for $4.25 and the full size for $7.99, unfortunately I couldn't find this shade on their website.
Next up is this 0.53 oz tube of Bodyography Foundation Primer in clear. This is a professional cosmetic company that was founded in the early 90's! Crazy! This is a primer that you apply after your skin care routine, but before foundation. It's supposed to extend the wear of foundation, while filling in lines and wrinkles. I don't use Foundation, so I will be passing this product on to my mom who does :) I really like the sample size, and think that she can get some good use out of it!You can purchase the full 1 oz sized bottle on their website for $30.00 making this sample roughly $15.00 ! WOW! That covers the cost of the box already! :)
The next product in my box is this full sized Shine Ultra Lip Gloss from ModelCo in Strip Tease! This awesome lip gloss has a mirror right on the bottle so you can apply anywhere, anytime! This is what ALL makeup products need! This is a beautiful sheer peach color with GORGEOUS shimmer in it. It can be layered ontop of lipstick or worn alone and I LOVE it! On their website, it says that the formula is a non sticky lip gloss, but mine feels sticky. Not so sticky that it bugs me, but enough to notice, but I love the product so much I don't even care :)You can purchase this lip gloss on the ModelCo website for $16.00! Another high priced, high quality item! I love it! :)
Last but not least is this 0.7g sample of Blinc Mascara. This is a revolutionary mascara that cannot run, smudge, clump or flake. It gives you longer, thicker lashes. No makeup remover requires, ideal for sensitive eyes and it holds lash curls longer! This mascara creates tiny water-resistant tubes around your lashes rather than painting them on like other mascaras. I tried this out overnight, and my god! This REALLY works!!! I was very surprised. I did everything, cried (I don't feel good... ): ), rubbed, and slept in it, and I didn't wake up with raccoon eyes or flakes!! So shocked and excited! I think this is an awesome product!You can purchase this on their website for $26.00 for a 6g bottle. This 0.7g sample is roughly $4.00 give or take a few cents...I don't know, I'm terrible at math :)
TOTAL: $44.79
Overall I REALLY like this box. I think that for $12 you really get a lot of great products in great sizes! Deluxe samples to even full sized items all for $12 SHIPPED? Awesome! After getting this box, and seeing months past, I really like this subscription service and find myself wanting to sign up! I like that it introduced me to companies I didn't even know about!

ReplyDeleteI can't believe this box is only $12! Adding it to my must try for fall(don't tend to wear makeup in hot, muggy summer). Also sure do wish all lip glosses had that mirror. Seriously why aren't more doing that? It's worth the price just for that :).
ReplyDeleteYes! $12, it's crazy! I love it, and will definitely be purchasing this :) I'm not sure why lip glosses aren't doing it!? They ALL need to be! Haha it's such a simple, clever idea.
ReplyDeletei just received the same box for review myself so i do think it is their blogger box...now that i have that out of the way...OMG, LOVE the scrub , even the smell is wonderful (still using items prior to my review) i was scared of the mascara ,but now that i read your review i will give it a go tomorrow. I dont wear bright eyeshadows, but was thinking of trying it as a blush.
ReplyDeleteThe scrub really is fantastic! Such a generous "sample", will totally last a while! Yes, don't be afraid of the mascara, it's the BEST thing I've ever tried (mascara products of course) and although I find $19 for a mascara crazy, this is one I'd invest the money in, it's that good. The eyeshadow would be perfect as a blush. I'm not crazy on eye shadow in general, but I will try it :) I like nude colors for eyeshadow, so I hope this will be a good, natural tone! It already looks like it :)
