Winter 2020 Walmart Beauty Box

The Walmart Beauty Box is one of the most affordable beauty boxes, if not the most. Their winter box had an assortment of different cold weather products.

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love!

The Walmart Beauty Box is advertised as free, but technically it will cost you $5 for shipping. It ships quarterly, so you'll get a box each season (once every three months). The boxes contain samples from products you can purchase at Walmart stores and on their website.

I've been receiving this box for a while now and I've noticed an improvement in the types of products and customization. There were 14 possible products (all are listed on the info card that came with the box) and you'll receive six of them based on your beauty profile.

I'm fairly happy with the products I got this month. They do match my beauty preferences and needs and I'll put them all to good use.

• Hard Candy Sheer Envy Setting Spray (full sized): I use setting sprays every time I put on makeup so this will definitely get used. Hard Candy is one of the better drugstore makeup brands in my opinion, so I think this will work pretty well.
• Bio Oil Dry Skin Gel: I wish this sample was a little bigger because I love Bio Oil products. They work really well for dry skin, and mine is especially dry in the winter. This skin oil felt great on my hands and I'll definitely purchase a full sized version.
• LOLA Organic Cotton Tampons: These are made with 100 percent organic cotton and have a plastic applicator. Not a glamorous sample, but a practical one.
  

• Neutrogena Stubborn Acne AM Treatment: I'm going to use this the next time hormonal acne strikes. It has 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide to really dry up any pimples.
• Earth to Skin Hand Sanitizer Gel: Remember when no one could find sanitizer anywhere? I now have so many bottles and samples of all sizes that I don't know what to do with them, but there could be worse things. This one has coconut water and aloe to soothe skin.
• Vital Proteins Beauty Collagen: This is the Strawberry Lemon flavor. I was skeptical about whether ingested collagen would actually work, but I did some research and found that, over the course of time, it actually can provide visible benefits to skin and your overall body.

Bottom Line: For only $5, the Walmart Beauty Box is a fun box to receive each quarter. You won't receive the fanciest of samples, but I've gotten a lot of products that I will put to good use.

Winter 2020 Walmart Beauty Box Review

The Walmart Beauty Box is a quarterly box from Walmart that features beauty samples of products that are all available at their stores and website. The Winter box featured samples to help transition to the colder months.

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love!

The Walmart Beauty Box is advertised as a free box but it costs $5 to ship to U.S. addresses, so in reality this box costs you $5 every three months. Still not a bad deal.

The box features deluxe samples from brands available at Walmart. I've noticed there are some repeats, but overall it's a fun box for a low price.

This quarter they included an insert with information about each of the products, which is a new feature. Previously there was no detailed description about what was inside, if I recall correctly.

The info card lists seven products; however, my box came with only five. I wonder if there was variation with the products, or if my box was missing products?

• Marc Anthony Strictly Curls Lotion: I thought this was full-sized since it's 5.9 fl oz, but the full-sized version is 8.3 fl oz. Still, this is a pretty good sample size. Unfortunately it's not something I can use, since I don't have curly hair, as it's a lotion for curls that provides lightweight definition.
• Biore Rose Quartz + Charcoal Cleanser: This is not listed on the info card, so maybe I received it as a replacement for something they ran out of. Either way, I've gotten this sample before and I do like this cleanser because it has salicylic acid. I like to keep these for when I travel (if we can ever travel safely again!).
• LUMIFY Redness Reliever Eye Drops: At first I didn't care for these (I've sampled before), but they've grown on me. I don't get redness often, but the few times I do, these have done a good job of reducing eye redness in only a few seconds.
• Gold Bond Ultimate Strength & Resilience: Gold Bond is a great lotion brand and I like having strong formulas like this one for winter. My hands get really dry and flaky, and this one has seven moisturizing ingredients to help replenish skin's moisture.
• NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss: This is a buttery, silky-smooth gloss that provides sheer to medium coverage. I received the Red Wine Truffle shade.

The products on the info card that were not in my box were the COLAB Unicorn Dry Shampoo, found Assorted Sheet Masks, and Dickinson's Alcohol-Free Gentle Balancing Toner.

Bottom Line: The Walmart Beauty Box is an inexpensive way to receive beauty samples each quarter. The brands are not prestige, but for only $5, I think it's a nice way to treat yourself.

Winter Walmart Beauty Box Review

The Walmart Beauty Box sends samples of products available at Walmart stores and online each season. Boxes are only $5 per quarter and have a variety of skincare and beauty inside!

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love!

I think the Walmart Beauty Box is comparable to the Target Beauty Box and is $2 cheaper (Target's is usually $7). Walmart advertises this box as free, but technically it costs $5 for shipping. Either way, $5 for a box of samples once a quarter is a fun and affordable way to try out new products.

I've noticed that a lot of the boxes have repeat products, but this Winter assortment was one of my most favorite yet. You'll get some foil packet samples, but there are usually at least one or two deluxe samples or full-sized products. Again, considering it's only $5, that's not too bad of a deal to me.

• Earth to Skin Tea Time Black Tea Sheet Mask: I love sheet masks and Walmart has some great ones! This brand is new to me so I'm excited to try it. It has black tea, glycerin, and Mountain Flower extract to tighten, firm, and mattify skin.
• Nivea Coconut and Monoi Oil Infused Body Lotion: This lotion has a lovely coconut scent and is infused with monoi oil to help moisturize skin for 24 hours. It has a silky formula and absorbed into my skin quickly.

• Schick Intuition FAB Razor: This is a repeat product, but it's a good one. "FAB" stands for "forwards and backwards," meaning you can shave in both directions for a smoother and closer shave.
• Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Strip to Scrub: This is an interesting take on pore strips. Instead of ripping it off and potentially stressing out skin, this one dissolves into a scrub that you wash away with the excess dirt and oil.
• Sofia Vergara Lost in Paradise: This perfume was a little too floral for me. It has notes of Nashi pear, tropical gardenia, and golden woods. I liked the warm and fruity notes, but the gardenia was a bit too overpowering.
• NYX Lingerie Liquid Lipstick: I got the shade "Cheekies," which is a light pink/peach nude. All of the shades in this line are nudes and have a semi-glossy sheen.

Bottom Line: The Walmart Beauty Box is always a nice surprise, and for only $5 I think it's a great deal. It's also nice that all of the products are available at Walmart stores and their website, so I can easily pick up full-sized versions of the ones I like.

Walmart Beauty Box - Spring and Summer 2019

I never ended up posting my review for the Spring Walmart Beauty Box and I got the Summer one a few weeks ago, so I decided to post a review of both.

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love!

The Walmart Beauty Box is a quarterly box that sends samples of products that you can purchase at Walmart stores and online. It's a free box but you have to pay shipping, so in essence it costs $5 a quarter for a box of samples.

For $5 every quarter, I think this box is a good deal and a lot of fun to open. You're not going to get high-end brands and there will be foil packet samples, but considering it's a "free" box I think it lives up to expectations.

The Spring 2019 box contained six samples and came with a canvas zippered pouch. I'm usually not a fan of getting pouches with subscriptions because I end up having too many of them, but this one is actually pretty sturdy so I'll actually use it.

Here's what was inside:

• Salon Perfect Done in One Brow Pomade - Dark Brown (full-sized): I regularly fill in my brows with products like this, so this will be put to good use! It comes with a dual-sided brush and has a smudge-free formula.
• Pantene Intense Rescue Shots Ampoule: This helps restore damaged hair and prevent split ends. Apply after shampoo and conditioner and then rinse out for extra hydration.
• TRESemme Between Washes Volumizing Dry Shampoo: TRESemme is always a reliable brand and their dry shampoos work really well with my thick hair. This one refreshes hair while adding extra volume.

• Soo Ae Purifying Black Charcoal Mask (full-sized): I love these masks and I pick some up almost every time I go to Walmart. The Soo Ae brand is a great K-beauty brand and these masks provide hydration and moisture with the clarifying benefits of characoal.
• Hello Fluoride Free Activated Charcoal Whitening Toothpaste: I like that this has charcoal in it (it really does help whiten teeth, in my experience), but I prefer fluoride in my toothpaste. It has no artificial sweeteners, dyes, or sulfates.
• Purely Inspired Collagen Peptides: This supplement contains collagen to help support strong hair, skin, and nails. Am I sold on the efficacy of ingestible collagen? No. But if you're interested in trying, this is a nice option.

The Summer 2019 box also had six samples.

• Schick Intuition F.A.B. Razor (full-sized): The "FAB" in the name stands for forwards and backwards because you can use this razor in both directions. It makes for easier and more precise shaving.
• TRESemme Betweetn Washes Volumizing Dry Shampoo: I didn't realize until writing up this review that this is a duplicate product from the Spring box. If I'm going to get multiples, at least it's something I'll definitely use!
• Olay Daily Facials Daily Hydrating Clean Makeup Removing Cloth: I like having a little cloth like this for on-the-go, especially to use after working out. This one is a dry cloth that you add water to for the cleansing power of a makeup remover, scrub, toner, and mask all in one.

•  Freeman Detoxifying Charcoal and Black Sugar Mud Mask: This mask is made with Dead Sea minerals to moisturize and lift away dirt and toxins without drying out the skin. I've had good experiences with Freeman masks in the past and I think they're a good, affordable option.
• Biore Witch Hazel Ultra Deep Cleaning Pore Strips: Even though I know these aren't the best for your skin I still use them every once in a while. It's just so satisfying to see the extra dirt and sebum lifted out of my pores. This one worked as well as the regular nose strips do.
• Curel Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer: I've gotten this in a previous box and I have to admit I'm not the biggest fan. It's a moisturizer that you apply in the shower to wet skin and then rinse off, and I didn't notice much of a difference in my skin after using it.

Bottom Line: For about the price of a latte at Starbucks, each quarter you can get a box of fun samples from Walmart. I think this box delivers exactly what it promises for an affordable price.

Winter Walmart Beauty Box Review

I decided to sign up for the Walmart Beauty Box because it's only $5 and it's fun to get a little box of samples once in a while. Their Winter Box is themed "Hydration Heroes."

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love!

The Walmart Beauty Box is sent out quarterly and the way they market it is that it's a free box but you pay $5 for shipping. So basically, the box costs $5. But I think that's a pretty reasonable price for a box of samples once every three months.

The box contains samples of products that can be bought at Walmart, and each season will have a different theme. Winter's box is aptly themed for cold, dry weather.

The box contained four foil packet samples, a full-sized sheet mask, a tube of moisturizer, and a ouch to carry everything in. These boxes often contain foil packets, so if you're not into receiving those types of samples, this box may not be for you. But again, it's only $5 every three months, so I still think that's fair. Here's everything that was inside:

• Olay Daily Facials Hydrating Cleansing Cloths - This is a dry cloth that foams up with cleanser when you add water. It's perfect for on-the-go and removed all of my makeup easily.
• Garnier SkinActive Soothing Moisturizing Mask - I couldn't find this Rose Water version of the mask on the Walmart website (so I linked to a similar one), but it's a super hydrating cream that can be used as a daily moisturizer, night cream, or a wash-off mask.
• Garnier Damage Repairing Treat 1 Minute Hair Mask - This hair mask has 98% naturally-derived ingredients and hydrates and repairs hair damage in just one minute. This was included in a previous Beauty Box, but I don't mind receiving another because it's a good product.
• Curel Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer - This lotion is meant to be used in the shower on damp skin. I've never used something like this before, but it was pretty effective. Just apply while skin is still damp and then pat dry with a towel as usual.
• Cetaphil Hydrating Gel Eye Cream - I wasn't aware that Cetaphil made eye creams, but this one is great! I love the gel formula; it's cooling to the touch and applies smoothly. It also has hyaluronic acid for extra moisture.
• SooAe Unicorn Glow Hologram Mask - SooAe masks are great, and this was the first hologram one I've tried. I wasn't sure what "hologram" meant, but basically it's just a shiny mask and the hologram part doesn't really add any benefits to your skin, it just looks cool. That being said, the serum was very moisturizing and this is a great mask for the price.

Bottom Line: I really enjoy the Walmart Beauty Box! I think it's a fun box and affordable at only $5 for shipping. The Winter theme was perfect, and I liked trying the Cetaphil and SooAe mask the most.

Summer Walmart Beauty Box Review

If you're looking to start exploring the world of beauty boxes, the Walmart Beauty Box is a great place to begin! It's affordable and a fun way to discover new products.

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

The Walmart Beauty Box costs is released quarterly and inside you'll find samples of products available at Walmart and Walmart.com. The box is technically free, all you have to pay is a $5 shipping fee. However you look at the price, it's still a great deal for a beauty box.

When you subscribe you'll complete a short survey about your beauty preferences, including things like your makeup style and skincare concerns and hair type and styling. Walmart will do their best to tailor samples to your interests and needs.

The box has really pretty packaging. The box itself is sturdy and is lined with a pretty tissue paper insert to protect the samples.

This quarter's box had six samples inside. A lot of them are foil packets, but I don't mind considering that the box is free. All of the samples are a decent size and you'll definitely be able to get more than one use out of them to decide if you want to purchase full-sized versions at Walmart.

• Garnier Fructis Damage Repairing Treat 1 Minute Hair Mask - I've seen advertisements for these masks and wanted to give them a try, so I'm glad this is included. This one has papaya extract and will be perfect for my hair, since I heat style every day.
• Soo Ae Donkey Milk Skin Gel Mask - Soo Ae's masks use traditional fabric sheet masks with hydrogel technology to deliver donkey milk and other ingredients for soft, hydrated skin. I've used a donkey milk lotion in the past that I loved so I'm excited to try this.
• Rembrandt 3 Day Whitening Boost Kit - This has six teeth whitening strips (three upper, three lower) inside that have enamel-safe ingredients to help whiten teeth in only three days. I hope these work well for me, since I have been looking for effective teeth whitening products lately.

•  Garnier Fructis Soothing 3-in-1 Mostuirizer Day/Night Mask - This mask is made with rose water and has no mineral oil, parabens, silicones, or dyes. Originally I thought this was a hair mask like the previous packet, but it's actually for the face. It sounds really soothing.
• Kleenex Wet Wipes - These might not be the most exciting product but they're super convenient for me. I like to keep wet wipes on hand in case of any spills or other random messes. They're made for use on the hands and face.
• Garnier Whole Blends Gentle Shampoo and Gentle Conditioner - This has soothing oat milk and rice cream extracts to nourish hair. I know oats are great on sensitive skin, so I'm curious to see how well this works on my hair.

Bottom Line: I think the Walmart Beauty Box is a great way to try new products for a really affordable price. You'll get a box of samples each quarter for only $5 and if you like any of the products, they're all easily available at Walmart stores and on their website. I especially like the Soo Ae mask and Rembrandt kit in this quarter's box!
