More Beauty Boxes: Can you have too many?

(06/02/12- clarification--> this box was a special "mystery" box not one of the monthly subscription boxes.)
I received a box from the Beauty Bar about a week ago that I tore into and I joined the waiting list for another company, My Glam, this afternoon.  I may need a support group for beauty box addicts!


I am trying to figure out which ones have the best samples, websites, products, pricing etc to see if I can narrow my current subscriptions from 6 or 7 down to about 2 or 3.  Its nice to get something in the mail that's new, just for you, and doesn't entail a lot of cost unless you subscribe to too many or buy full size of everything!  Yikes.


So I am going to take a quick breather, eat dinner, and tear into the Beauty Bar box that came today!  Ok so I couldn't quite eat my entire dinner before the excitement became too much. Here's what happened next including a breakdown of the goodies!

1. Claudalie Vin Expert Riche Radiance Day Cream SPF 10- (updated 5-31-2012) I have been using this in the morning and I love it.  The application is smooth and non greasy and other make up goes over it without the pancake look.


2. Claudalie Foam Cleanser - (update-5/31/2012) Using this at night to remove make up before my shower.  Love it!  Its great at removing make up and other grim without over drying the skin. 

3. Peaches and cream lip gloss from Philosophy - I love the peach smell, but can already tell you this will be passed to my teenager because most lip gloss is simply too thick.


4. Gorgeous base perfect foundation- have not used this product before but when I do I'll update this post!

5. Lorac limited edition TANtal Eyes Palette which includes eye shadow and a body bronzer - I have not tried this product before but I cannot wait until I do.  Unfortunately I am too light skinned at the moment to pull off the bronzer and dark eye shadow.  And if my teenager find this I'll never see it again.

6. London Butter nail polish in Pink Ribbon- I have always wanted to try this product and its in a great color I know I will wear.  But I need to wait for my nails to grow back out due to a weekend of yard work that destroyed the nails I had! :(

7. Neil George Intense Illuminating Conditioner Sample - (updated 5/31/2012) I used this product over the long weekend and really liked how soft my hair felt.  I would have liked a "bigger sample" because my hair soaks in a lot of conditioner.

All in all this was a great box filled with great samples and products that I can use.  I cannot wait till another "mystery" box is advertised and I certainly wasn't dissapointed with this purchase.  Here's the web site if you want to check it out: www.beautybar.com
