Walmart Beauty Box is a subscription box that automatically ships four times a year once you have signed up for it. Containing an assortment of full sized products, samples and money saving coupons the box is 'free' but you pay $5.00 for shipping.
This time the Fall 2016 box didn't contain any full sized products but there was a good selection of minis and samples. Let's take a look inside:
Minis.
Batiste Dry Shampoo (1.6 fl oz). I have quite a few dry shampoos already from various GWP's and boxes - they seem to be a staple giveaway.
I wash my hair everyday but even so they are something that I use either to make my hair feel fresh or to boost volume. Batiste Dry Shampoo is an English drugstore brand that has been around for years. I received the 'Original Clean and Classic' version. There are definitely better smelling dry shampoos out there - this smells very chemically to me but it is something that I will use.

Dove Nourishing Body Wash (1.8 fl oz in the fragrance ' Sweet Cream and Peony'). Mini body washes always come in handy for travel. This creamy formula has a light floral scent and promises to soften skin. Although I don't tend to buy them I have used samples of Dove bath products in the past and enjoyed them.
Hello Toothpaste (.85 oz 'Pure Mint flavour'). I'm not thrilled to get toothpaste samples in boxes but I do use up these mini tubes. Hello make dental products out of 'natural' ingredients which sounds an interesting concept.
Clean&Clear Deep Action 60 Second Shower Mask (1 oz). This oil free mask works with the steam in your shower to deeply clean and exfoliate your skin. It contains glycolic acid and micro crystalline wax beads for exfoliation.
I thought that this would be too harsh and drying for me to use initially but after a quick read of the ingredients the only thing that gives me pause for thought is the inclusion of menthol, however it's a long way down the list so I will try this out after patch testing.

Samples.
Village Naturals Therapy Concentrated Mineral Bath Soak (2oz). Formulated to ease aches and pains this sachet of bath salts contains enough for one bath or two foot baths. Scented with eucalyptus, spearmint and menthol they certainly sound as if they will be very relaxing. I'm not much of a one for baths but Mr C&C will really enjoy these I think.
Cetaphil Moisturising Body Cream (.5oz). I'm not fussy when it comes to body creams and lotions. This is a basic formula containing petroleum that I will use.
Biore Charcoal Pore Strip (1 x strip). I used one of these once and found that it was so difficult to remove that I was worried about breaking my skin. I guess a lot of people like these, I don't, so I will pass this along to someone.
Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin and Nail Gummies (2 x gummies). These strawberry flavoured gummies contain Biotin for healthier hair, skin and nails along with Vitamins C and E which are beneficial to skin.
I have bought these gummies before and they are delicious! I have to say that I didn't notice any real difference in my hair skin or nails when I took them before so I won't be tempted to purchase these but I will eat this sample.

Ecotools Make Up Brush Cleansing Cloths (1 x cloth). I've not seen these before but think they are really clever, they are like a face wipe but for your brushes! I think these are a great idea for easily cleaning your brushes when traveling and the single sachet packaging of them make them perfect for carrying in your make up bag.
Coupons.
There is only one coupon in this box. It is for $1.00 off Hello Toothpaste. I won't use this as I only buy Colgate as a rule.
Overall.
I think this is a very nice box with a good selection of practical products. I know that some people will be disappointed that there isn't a full sized item but I'm always happy to have a useful selection of samples and minis. I will use everything in this box with the exception of the pore strip and I'm excited to try out the mask and the brush cleaner. I think this is a great value box for only $5.00.
I'm a happy customer this season!
