Summer 2016 Walmart Beauty Unboxing

Summer 2016 Walmart Beauty Unboxing

I honestly don't know what's going on with my mail lately - but all my boxes are getting SUPER beat up in transit. This seasons Walmart beauty box is super pretty - even if it is a little dinged up. Orchids are one of my favorite flowers - so seeing a bright yellow on on the box really grabbed my attention.

See - super cute!

Opening the box its just the normal unboxing stuff - the inside of the box is a really pretty pink and there is the little intro card. Its lets you know which hashtags to use and which season this box is for. If you didn't already know - the Walmart Beauty subscription is a quarterly box. Meaning that you get one box 4x a year and it's free! (but has $5 shipping).

All of the boxes I've received are packaged like this and I've honestly never had a box come in this damaged before. It's okay this time though - nothing inside was damaged.

This is the contents of this box. It was honestly a little underwhelming because a lot of this stuff I had actually already gotten in previous boxes. The St. Ives face wash, shampoo and conditioner, and perfume samples were things I've already received. I never seem to use the shampoo and conditioners that come in these boxes - so they end up just taking up space in a drawer where I keep these things. They also sent toothpaste (although a different one) and a different tanning lotion in last quarter's box as well.

The other two things though were totally awesome. The nail art strips are super cute (blue roses!) and the Vaseline moisturizer is for very dry skin (which is me). I'm already using the moisturizer and I'll probably be grabbing a couple of these nail art strips from the store for when I travel to Japan!

This honestly wasn't the best box I've ever received - but it was only $5. I'll probably continue my subscription though, because even for the duplicates I'll end up giving them to friends who want them.

Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette

Ugh, I wanted this soooo badly and my roommate got it for me for Christmas! This one isn't a true unboxing because I loved it so much I've already stuck a brush in them. I mean, how could you not love this palette? Its got the perfect mix of shimmery and matte shadows with a couple pops of color that make this the perfect palette for both neutral day/work appropriate looks, and a fun colorful nighttime look.

This season's Beauty box was honestly kind of disappointing. One of these items I had received before and the other things were things I wasn't really a fan of. But lets get into it anyway.

So starting at the left is an NYC Liquid Lipshine Lipgloss in Rivington Rose. Which is a pretty mauvey pink color. I'll probably use to to top off other lipsticks and is a nice neutral. It sells for $2 in store.

The next thing in the box was a Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy Complete Care Shampoo. (no conditioner, just shampoo) I mean, I'll probably use it for when I go away, but otherwise the retail size shampoo is only $5 - and this was a sample.

To the right of that is the AWESOME Dove Go Fresh Body wash in mandarin and tiare flower scent. It smells amazing, and I used the sample I had previously received. A retail bottle of 22oz bottle sells for ~$5.50.

Next in the box is this St. Ives Blackhead Clearing Green Tea Scrub. It looks weird, it smells 'okay'. I've yet to see if it works, but my fiance has been having trouble with blackheads and whatnot lately so we're going to give this sample a go. Plus the other St. Ives face scrub we own works wonders on both our faces. A full size (6oz) of this stuff will cost ya $4.

Also included in this box was the Nivea Soft Moisturising Creme. I haven't used it yet so nothing to really comment about - but I've been hunting for new moisturizers so I'll give this one a go. This comes in multiple sizes but the 6.8oz one will only set ya back $4.

This box also came with a small sample of the Neutrogena CoolDry Sport sunscreen with an SPF 70. Neutrogena makes some pretty awesome sunscreens and when I'm at the beach for the 4th of July I definitely will be using this on my face. Chris and I want to go paddleboarding/kayaking again so we're gonna investigate and see where that takes us.

Last but not least is the One Direction You & I perfume. As much as it pains me to say it - it doesn't even smell that bad either. I'm glad I got a sample but I won't be purchasing the bottle unless I absolutely fall in love with it.

Not pictured is a few manufacturers coupons I got for $2 off 3 different brands of brushes and a packet sample of the Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer for medium to Dark Skintones. (which I am not... so... what do I do with this?) 

Overall I was underwhelmed by what I got in this box. It seemed just thrown together and kind of lazy. The only thing I'm really happy for is the Dove body wash and the perfume sample. Oh well, you can't get lucky with them all! Maybe Fall will be better?

Stalk me?
