Walmart Beauty Box - Fall 2014

Walmart has joined the subscription box world. For only $5 (free shipping), you get a box quarterly (4x a year) featuring different health/beauty/makeup products, all available at Walmart.

Walmart Beauty Box

L'Oreal Glossy Balm in Lovely Mocha - ($7.99)

I can't seem to get enough lip products...This is the color "Lovely Mocha" and it's very lovely! Plus, it's a full sized item, it's worth more than the box!

Dove Oxygen Shampoo & Conditioner

I actually got these same samples in my PinchMe box last month. PinchMe is free samples. So I'm not too thrilled that they are also in my Walmart box... but hey, they will get used. These are super handy to throw in your travel bag.

Dove Pure Care Dry Oil For Hair

For all hair types. 
Pure Care Dry Oil Nourishing Treatment with African Macadamia Oil is a lightweight, luxurious formula, infused with pure drops of natural oils. With unique Dry Oil technology, it absorbs deep into hair, leaving it sublimely silky, not greasy or weighed down.

• Nourishes + revitalizes hair
• Protects hair, adds silkiness, softness + shine
• Lightweight + non-greasy

I really have no use for this item, so it will probably be passed along to a friend. 

Covergirl Glowing Nights in "After Dark" - ($3.79)

Nail polish. I have a serious nail polish problem. :) The picture is showing up as slightly blue but this is more like a sea green color. Beautiful. 

Nicki Minaj "Pink Friday"

This has a very fruity, sweet scent with a hint of Vanilla.  I could seriously sniff this all day long.  I really enjoy fruity, floral, girly scents. 

Neutrogena Sample Card

This is basically one of those pull-out sample cards that you'd find in say, your Redbook magazine. There's definitely not enough product in those bubbles to cover your whole face so I will probably just throw this away.  I already know what color of foundation that I use. 

L'Oreal Youth Code Pore Vanisher - (Sample)

Foil packet. Boo!! This is supposed to minimize the look of pores and shrink actual pore size in a month. 

Secret Clinical Strength Clear Gel - ($8.99)

I was kind of happy that this came, until I saw that it was a clear gel. I have never been a fan of gel deodorants, I'm just not a fan of putting something slimy and wet under my arms. I also noticed one of the ingredients is aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex. 

As of 2012, no medical or environmental study had proved that aluminum zirconium — a common ingredient in antiperspirant — increases the risk for any disease, including breast cancer or Alzheimer's disease. There are, however, many people who believe that the use of antiperspirants that contain aluminum zirconium is dangerous. Some studies into the potential dangers of aluminum zirconium have suggested there there might be some type of connection, but others have found no link, and there has been no evidence proving that aluminum zirconium has caused any disease. These studies are likely to continue, because further research is needed to confirm or refute the opinion of most medical experts and scientists that aluminum zirconium is not dangerous.

Verdict: HIT! I was a little skeptical of a Walmart beauty box, but for only $5, I definitely got my money's worth on the lip gloss and nail polish alone. I will definitely get the next box (winter box?) when it comes out.

Did you get a Walmart Beauty Box? What did you think?
