Walmart Beauty Box | Spring 2017

If a monthly beauty subscription box feels like too much of a commitment for you, or you'd prefer trying things you can pick up at other easily accessible, more affordable stores - the Walmart Beauty Box may be the thing for you. This "subscription" ships out just quarterly, and will put you out a minuscule $5 per box. Obviously, everything inside can be purchased at Walmart. 

Spring boxes are still available for purchase here (not an affiliate link). The boxes aren't curated to your tastes, they send mostly the same thing to everyone, sometimes it varies slightly. Here's what came in this season's box...

• Soo AE Purifying Black Charcoal Mask - This sheet mask is from Korean brand Soo AE, and retails for $2.50. It aims to reduce inflammation and purify the skin. You only need to leave it on for 15 minutes and wa-lah, you'll have radiant, moisturize and purified skin.

• Schwarzkopf Gliss Hair Repair Shampoo + Conditioner - This shampoo and conditioner cost $5.47 each, and is made for people with dry, stressed hair. It claims to reduce breakage, increase moisture and and add shine. 

• Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Shine - This is a full size lip gloss that retails for $8.97. It conditions and soothes lips while adding some shine and color.

• Sinful Colors Sugar Crushin' nail polish - There's a variety of Sinful Colors polishes and I really adore them. They cost just $1.97 but they perform like higher end polishes.

• Jergens Natural Glow Wet Skin Moisturizer - There's a wet skin moisturizer in practically every brand now! This you put on when you're still wet in the shower, don't rinse off, and then wait for the color to slowly show. Basically, it's just like the regular gradual tanning lotion, but it responds well to water. A full size will set you back $8.97.

• John Frieda Frizz Ease Moisturizing Conditioner - This conditioner is for those of you with dry, unmanageable hair. It provides moisture while taming frizz and protecting your silky hair style. A full size retails for $5.47.

• Soapbox Body Wash with Shea Butter - Soapbox is a cool company because for every product you buy, they give a bar of soap to a person in need in the US or abroad. Their website outlines all the good work they do around the world, so you can feel good about your purchase. I've never tried anything from this brand, so excited to give this a shot. It smells nice and I'm sure it'll work decently. A full size costs just $4.54.

• Ban Powder Fresh Roll-On Deodorant - There's not much to say about this antiperspirant/deodorant combo. It fights odors, prevents sweating... and will cost you around $4... almost the entire price of the box... not bad!

• Colgate Optic White Radiant Toothpaste - I've used this in the past and it's nice. It's a decent toothpaste, nothing overly special. I couldn't tell if it really made my teeth whiter or not. A full size costs a whopping $6.96... which seems crazy to me for toothpaste, whitening properties or not. 

• Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation - I've done a full review on this here. It's just $4.97 at Walmart. Long story short, you get what you pay for. 

• Aveeno Postively Radiant Facials - I'm intrigued by both of these products, especially the in-shower facial. This cleanser helps exfoliate and cleanse the skin, working with the steam in the shower. It costs $6.97 for a full size. The overnight hydrating facial claims to provide 48 hours of hydration, and it'll cost you $16.97/jar which is kind of steep for a drugstore product.

Walmart Beauty Box | Fall 2016

The fall Walmart Beauty Box showed up at my door a couple weeks ago and it has a bunch of fun samples! This seasonal box is just $5 and everything in it can be purchased in full size at your local Walmart. If you're interested in subscribing, you'll receive four boxes a year, and you can sign up here. 

Some of the smaller samples included in this fall's box include:

• Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails gummies, which I've tried and they're delicious
• EcoTools Makeup Brush Cleansing Cloth
• Biore Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips, which I've tried and did not enjoy at all
• Village Naturals Therapy Concentrated Mineral Bath Soak

The deluxe sized samples in the box include:

• Hello Pure Mint Extra Whitening Toothpaste
• Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, which I've used before and is great for sensitive skin
• Dove body wash in Sweet Cream with Peony - I always love Dove body washes, they smell amazing and are really hydrating
• Clean & Clear Deep Action 60 Second Shower Mask
• Batiste Original Dry Shampoo, an absolute favorite of mine.

I think you definitely get your money's worth and then some with this box. It's fun to try things you can get at the drugstore so you don't have to bother with a full size of something and then hate it.

Let me know if you get the Walmart Beauty Box and what you think of it! 

Walmart Beauty Box - Summer 2016

Well hellloooo! Sorry for the hiatus, but things have been pretty busy in my neck of the woods. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know my little love Elliot was born on July 5 and I've been soaking up my time getting to know this little guy. I didn't work ahead on any blogs, which I probably should have, so Glazed Over went silent for a bit -- but I'm back! I am hoping I can keep a regular posting schedule, but it remains to be seen. I run on this dude's schedule now. ;) 

Anyway, this post is entirely late, but I've got Walmart's Summer 2016 beauty box to show you. These boxes cost just $5, and every 90 days you get a new seasonal box curated with products all available at Walmart (and other drugstores). Here's what came in this season's box...

• Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant Toothpaste - An anti-cavity toothpaste that deep cleans and refreshes the breath. It's formulated with baking soda, active calcium and peroxide. 

• Goody Slideproof silicone elastics - These hair ties have small silicone nubs on one side to help them stay in place, but they're gentle and won't rip your hair out when you try and take them out. 

• Vaseline Intensive Care unscented lotion - This basic lotion soothes dry and rough skin without irritating fragrance. It absorbs without a greasy feel. 

• Incoco Nail Strips - I've done a full review on Incoco strips in the past, and I like them. They're made of 100% real nail polish and can last for up to 2 weeks. They're some of the easiest nail strips I've ever used.

• Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs - This lotion is "leg makeup" aimed at making legs look flawless and tanner, but will wash off in the shower.

• Schwarzkopf Essence Ultime Shampoo & Conditioner - This duo is especially made for dry, dehydrated hair. It's supposed to repair damaged hair and prevent split ends. Formulated with Claudia Schiffer, if you're in to celeb collabs. 

You can still get your own Walmart Beauty Box by signing up here. Keep in mind these boxes aren't tailored to your personality, they're all the same, but you do get a good sampling of drugstore products to test out. 

Let me know if you've tried any of these products or what your thoughts are on the Walmart box! 

Walmart Beauty Subscription Box | Spring 2016

This season's Walmart Beauty box showed up in my mailbox last week, and I have to say, if you've seen any of the reviews of the most recent Target Beauty Box (which always sell out) - this is one to rival that! (but this one is $5 cheaper!)

This seasonal subscription costs just $5 per box and it's automatically shipped to you each season. This box features drug store items in deluxe sample sizes. I like this service because you can try out items before buying, even if the full sizes wouldn't put you out too terribly budget-wise. To sign up, just enter your info here. 

Here's what came in the Spring 2016 box:

• Colgate Optic White Toothpaste - I've used this before and enjoyed it. Happy to receive a deluxe sample of it for future use. 

• Jergens Natural Glow body lotion - Another favorite. This lotion is perfect to give you a tan just a couple shades darker than your normal tone. Perfect for pale girls like me. 

• John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Gentle Lightening Shampoo - I'm not brunette, nor do I wish to lighten my hair, so this will be given away to someone who is. (This is the down side of a box you can't customize...)

• CeraVe Healing Ointment - This is the CeraVe version of Vaseline. It can be used on dry patches or skin that needs a little extra boost of nourishment. 

• Curel Itch Defense Body Wash - This body wash is marketed towards those who suffer from eczema and extremely dry, itchy skin. It's fragrance-free, so it would also be good for those with sensitive skin or those who want to avoid any smells. 

• Biore Baking Soda Pore Cleanser - Aimed at those with combination skin, this cleanser uses baking soda to cleanse and exfoliate the face. One thing to note, baking soda is listed prettttty far down in the ingredients, so the marketing is a bit misleading.

Walmart Winter Beauty Box 2015

The latest Walmart Beauty Box showed up at my door in late December, and it's probably one of the best yet! I'm always willing to take my chances, as these boxes cost just $10 and they come once a season. It's not often you get sample sizes of drugstore products, but the Walmart Beauty Box gives you that chance. To receive your own beauty box, sign up here. 

This month's box came with...

• Pure Silk Raspberry Mist Shaving Cream - Perfect travel sized shaving cream! Will definitely bring this along with me on our next beach vacation. 
• nspa Exotically Creamy Coconut Rich Body Butter - nspa is a UK brand that I've heard plenty of UK-Youtubers mention before but I've never tried myself. This body butter is free of parabens and smells very very coconutty. 
• Centrum Vitamints - Not the kind of vitamins I'd take, but nice to try out if you're in the market for a new multivitamin.
• Neutrogena Healthy Skin Boosters Facial Cleanser - I've received these in Target Beauty Boxes and other Walmart Beauty Boxes, and I actually liked this cleanser. It's mild and smells nice. 
• Dial 7 Day Moisturizing Lotion - I didn't even know Dial made lotion. This is a nice size to throw in my purse for use on the go. 

• Pantene Air Spray Hairspray - I've never tried this hairspray before. I couldn't even find it on the Pantene website - so I don't know what to tell you about it unfortunately.
• Goody Slide Proof Hair Ties - These hair bands have little rubber-like grippies on them so they won't slide out of your hair. I'm not one to stray from my basic hair ties, so it's fun to receive some that I probably wouldn't buy myself. 
• Ken Paves Volumizing Shampoo + Conditioner - The teal foil packet in back has a conditioner and shampoo sample. Walmart sends Ken Paves foil samples every box, and I haven't tried them yet. I'd much rather have a bottle sample - no one likes foil packets! 

Have you signed up for the Walmart Beauty Box? What came in yours? Let me know! 

Walmart Beauty Box | Fall 2015

The Fall Walmart Beauty Box finally arrived in my mailbox last week, and I have to say, it's a pretty sweet value for just $5! If you've never seen this subscription, it costs just $5 per box, and it's shipped out once a season (4 boxes per year). It's not the most amazing beauty subscription service I've ever tried, but it does give you a chance to try out drugstore items without spending the money on a full size product first. 

Fall boxes are still available. Sign up to receive yours here. In the meantime, check out what I got in this season's box. Note: items may vary by box.

One thing I don't enjoy receiving are these foil packets, but whatever. Included in this box are samples of the Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer, the Nivea Extended Moisture Lotion, the Biore Self Heating One Minute Mask and the Crest 3D White Brilliance Whitening toothpaste and gel. 

Also included are some travel sized samples of the Aussie Mega Hairspray, the Caress Adore Forever Body Wash and the Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer.

Lastly, the box came with the Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara (which came in the Summer box, too.... wah wah!), ACT Advanced Care Mouthwash, Dove Advanced Care deodorant and probably the best item in the whole box -- the Schick Hydro Silk Disposable Razor. 

Overall, I enjoy the Walmart Beauty Boxes. For $5, you totally get what you pay for, and I like having sample sizes for when I travel. I'd recommend it if you like to try out drugstore items!

Walmart Beauty Box | Summer 2015

This Summer's Walmart Beauty Box is arriving in mailboxes, and if you haven't signed up for this seasonal subscription yet, what are you waiting for? It costs just $5 a box (4 boxes per year), and you can sign up here. The samples aren't as good as an Ipsy bag or Birchbox, but you do get samples of drugstore items that are nice to try out before spending the $$$ on a full size.

Included in the summer box is a decent sized sample of the Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme, a basic all-over lotion that I've never tried before. Behind that are some lame foil packets of Jergens Natural Glow lotion, which I've used before and enjoyed. On bottom is a nice travel size of Aveeno Protect + Hydrate Lotion with SPF, which is something I'd only use as a sunscreen, not an every day lotion. And the one full-sized product in the box is the NYC Big Bold & Precise Liquid Eyeliner, which I'm excited to try because you know I love me some black eyeliner!

Also included is the John Frieda Sea Waves Sea Salt Spray, which I got a sample of in an Influenster previously. I'm not a huge sea salt spray kind of girl (I don't wash my hair enough for that!) so I can't say I'm too excited about this product. A rather large travel size of Clear Complete Care Nourishing Anti-Dandruff shampoo is in the box, and I happen to enjoy Clear shampoos so that's a plus. There's also a little sample of the One Direction You & I perfume, which is way too young of a scent for me, (I still love you, 1D! I'm lookin' at you, Harry Styles..... mmm...) so I will probably pass it on to my sister who is a 1D fan. It's super-duper fruity, if you like that kind of thing.

Lastly, we've got more annoying foil packets of Ken Paves Volumizing Shampoo + Conditioner, Neutrogena Healthy Volume mascara (never tried!), and Neutrogena Healthy Skin Boosters Facial Cleanser, which actually came in the Spring box, too -- lame.

Overall, this was an OK box. For $5 I can't really complain. I am looking forward to trying the NYC eyeliner, which I'd happily pay $5 to try, so the rest of the samples can just be considered a bonus. What do you think -- have you signed up to receive these beauty boxes yet? Will you? Let me know!

Walmart Spring Beauty Box

The Walmart Beauty Box comes seasonally, and if you haven't yet signed up to receive the spring box, now is the time! You can sign up to receive them here. They're shipping this month. Walmart Beauty Boxes cost just $5, which is solely the price of shipping, so all the goodies are technically free! Basically all of the items in the spring box are travel or sample sized, and aside from the foil packets, everything in this box will get you quite a few uses! 

Included in my spring box are the following:

• Dove Go Fresh body wash in Mandarin & Tiare Flower
• St. Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub (A favorite of mine, even if the scrubbies are probably horrible for your skin.)
• Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes
• Jergens BB Body lotion (NOT a favorite because it smells like their tanning lotion to me)
• Neutrogena Healthy Skin Boosters White Tea & Vitamin E facial cleanser
• Ken Paves shampoo, conditioner and hair mask foil packets
• Lady Gaga Fame perfume sample

I've seen other season's Walmart beauty boxes and some are a little better than this, and some are worse, but for $5 I don't mind taking the gamble. I've tried the BB Body lotion, the Simple cleansing wipes and the Fame perfume, but all the other products are new to me. Have you tried any of these products? Which ones did you like? Let me know!
