Sample box wars-March Beauty Box 5

Beauty Box 5

I  love getting mail.  Yesterday I woke up to a box laying on my stomach.  I sat up and ripped it open.  In it I found 5 deluxe sized samples of beauty products.  The Approximate value of this box is $20.59. 

1.  La Fresh Nail Polish Remover Wipes  2 single packs.  One wipe does all ten nails.  I don't have much to say about these.  They are what they are.  I do like nail polish wipes. when I buy the Equate brand (Walmart generic) for 3.99 a box.  The La Fresh are 3.99 for 6 wipes.  Obviously not a high value sample but that is okay.  These will go into my purse or the living room for polish emergencies or  if I have a "I can't stand this color one more moment" moment.  Value of sample, Hang on for this a whopping $1.33.

2.  Brazen Cosmetics Eye shadow  in the color Suburbia.  The color is that of sparkly brown if you will.  This is an organic mineral eye-shadow that retails for $7.49.  for 0.18oz. Yes I know the camera makes it look like a Burnt Sienna but it comes out brown.  I am not sure how much is in my sample pot or if this is full size as it does not specify weight on the container.  This is a loose eye-shadow and goes on opaque.  Please use a light hand and make sure to tap your brush.  It blends out well.  I believe this is full size so the value is $7.49.



3.  Tree Hut Moisturizing lotion/Body Butter.  Scent Mango  Retails for $6.49 for 9oz.  The size I received is 2oz.  The Apprx. value is $2.67. The scent is very pungent and while it smells of citrus and mango, I find the scent a tad overpowering.  This is very moisturizing and absorbs into the skin easily.  A little goes a long way and it does last.  Pacifica's body butter lasts longer however.

4.  H20 Spa Sea Salt Body Wash.  Retails for 17.00 for 12.5 oz.  The sample I got is 1oz for a value of approximately $1.50.  it has Japanese Green Tea and Provitamin B.  It is to deeply nourish your skin in a light lather that cleans without drying.  Now when you first smell it it smells of vapor rub.  After it is rubbed into the skin it leaves a clean smell I can't put my finger on.

5.  H20 Plus Eye Lift Concentrate  Retails for $38.00 for .5 oz.  My sample size was .13 fl oz  approx $7.60
It is an all in one eye concentrate that lifts, firms, lightens and hydrates and repairs.  "It is like they bottled sleep"  their quote not mine.  So this lotion is white and not very thick and not too thin.  A little goes a long way.  My husband will be using this as my eyes are perfect and he has the bags and saggy under-eyes   Like a little basset hound.  He is so cute.  Anyhow.

There are some nice things but nothing that is totally exciting or must haves.  I did not find anything to put at treasure status this month.  But that is fine.  I will get use out of these items.  I will take this moment to express my interest in Why the lotions must always be citrus scented?  I can't wear them because Citrus smells make me ill.  Literally.  Well that is it for now.  Remember Friends don't let friends Buy crap or look like crap!
