Walmart Beauty Box is a subscription box which ships automatically four times a year once you have signed up for it. Containing a selection of full-sized products, samples, minis and money off coupons, the box itself is free but you must pay $5.00 for shipping and processing. There are two versions of the box intended to appeal to different age groups. I receive the 'Trendsetter' box aimed at younger customers, there is also a 'Classic' box for older customers. Let's take a look inside the Fall Trendsetter box.
Full size and Mini Items.
Freeman Beauty Hydrating Water Gel Mask.
Even though they are single use items I am counting this mask and the lip patch as full sized as they retail individually. Freeman Masks are a drugstore staple. I already have a big stash of masks but I like that this is packaged as a one time use and I do enjoy hydrating masks, I'm thinking this could be a good one to pop into my bag to use after a flight. If I don't use it Mr C&C will so it won't go to waste.
Verdict: Thumbs up.
Sooae My Collagen Hydrogel Lip Patch.
This is something that I wouldn't think to purchase for myself but I have seen these KBeauty patches on several people's Instagrams and as I suffer from dry lips I'm intrigued to give this a try. Who knows I may have found a new product to love?
Verdict: Thumbs up.
Verdict: Thumbs up.
PanteneFoam Conditioner 'Sheer Volume'.
I had this exact same conditioner in last months box, and while I don't enjoy getting repeat products this is something that I will use (and I would rather get a repeat of something that I will use than a new item that I won't). I can't help but feel that these conditioners are a little gimmicky but I do like Pantene products and I'm always happy to have extra conditioners to hand as I always use way more conditioner than shampoo. I've already tried this out and while it's not the greatest conditioner I have ever used, it is okay. I've not noticed it adding much in the way of volume but equally, it doesn't weigh my hair down.
Verdict: Thumbs up.
Maybelline MasterPrecise Allday Liquid Liner.
I don't use Liquid Eye Liners but this is a decent sized product that draws a fine line and the liquid flows easily. I'm sure someone who uses a liquid liner would be happy to find this in a beauty box so while it's not my personal preference I can't fault its inclusion.
Verdict: Thumbs Up.
Biore Charcoal Micellar Water.
I like using micellar water for daily eye makeup removal and minis are great for travel. Biore is a pretty good brand and while I'm not sure what advantages the addition of charcoal makes I'm looking forward to trying this out. I think this is the best product in this box!
Verdict: Two thumbs up.
Hello Activated Charcoal Toothpaste.
I've had this in a previous box but like the conditioner, it is something that I will use. I do really like the Hello toothpastes which have a fairly natural formulation and are SLS free. This one is mildly minty but is a little messy as it is a black toothpaste.
Verdict: Thumbs up.
Samples.
Kleenex Wet Wipe.
I had one of these in the last box as well. As I said then I will try and pop it in my bag next time I fly or go on the train but in reality, it will probably end up forgotten in a drawer. I know this is 'free'so I shouldn't complain but I do think the inclusion of one wipe is a bit rubbish!
Verdict: Meh.
La Bella Avocado Oil Shampoo and Styling Gel.
I don't know anything about this brand at all. I will use the shampoo sachet but I won't use the gel.
Verdict: Okay.
Nivea Aloe Vera Body Lotion.
I love Nivea body products but I know from experience that these sachets are tiny. There is literally enough product for one arm and a bit! I will use (and enjoy) this but I can't help but feel that sachets of body lotion are a bit wasteful unless they contain a decent amount.
Verdict: Okay.
Walmart's Summer Beauty Box was such a bust for me that I vowed to cancel my subscription if this one was as bad, luckily however, I'm actually rather pleased with the fall box. There's a good selection of products including some minis that will be great for travel and I'm looking forward to trying out the lip mask. There's definitely more than $5.00 worth of product here so I'm happy! Walmart has redeemed itself in my eyes and for the meantime I will continue with my subscription, in fact, after this box I'm eagerly anticipating the Winter edition!
