I was very excited to receive my first Beauty Army box and to discover all of the goodies inside! Its always nice to open up a box that says "Hello Gorgeous" (And that's what my hubby calls me-Gorgeous!) and shows a pic of a woman gazing out at the city and ocean! Ahhh!
Overall, very happy with this box of 6 samples that I can use! I'm skeptical of the dry shampoo but very happy with everything else.
This was not something I wanted but it kept coming up in my choices. The list of ingredients is scary
(Butane, Propane, SD Alcohol 40-B, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Isobutane, Cyclomethicone, Fragrance) and I saw this in a local drugstore for about $3.00. Dry Shampoos are becoming popular so I will give it a try. I am notorious for not washing my hair on the weekends to give my strands a break and this may be perfect if suddenly I need to assist a pal in retail therapy!
This is a great moisturizer what quickly absorbs into the skin and does not leave a greasy residue! Within seconds you can apply your make up over it and remember a little goes a long way. I don't like the scent and thankfully it does not linger.
I was thrilled to receive this and I have wanted to try a product from Cover FX for some time now. This is the "prep clear" primer that also fights acne! It has a nice light scent, absorbs quickly and leaves a matte finish to apply your foundation or tinted moisturizer. I also want to try Cover FX's concealer to see if it will help even out my skin tone.
This tiny sample contains an emulsion cream that can do wonders for your complexion. Not only does it reduce puffiness, hydrates, and exfoliates...it claims that sun damage will "virtually" disappear over time. Since I have sun damage but not quite hyper-pigmentation I may purchase the full size to see if those claims are true! But it also depends on the definition of "disappear over time" is because my pocket book may not be able to afford 2 purchases since it is rather expensive.
I'm not a big fan of placing oil on my face since I am always trying to keep oil OFF my face. It smells good and comes with a tiny dropper. I'm thinking this would be great with a facial while soaking in a deep, hot bath. (and maybe add a few drops to the water!)
Last but not least, this is actually my favorite item in the box. I don't usually wear mascara due to my contacts and allergies, but I've seen the NYX brand in stores and magazines and decided to give it a try. I have "La Amoureax" which is suppose to lengthen and curl my lashes. I love the curved brush, no clumping or smearing and my lashed look great all day!
So what do you think of your July Beauty Army box and what goodies did you receive?
I've been participating in several beauty box subscriptions for about a year now and at times I've been up to my eyeballs in sample beauty products! Which ones do I subscribe to? It seems just about all of them and they are all a little different and provide a variety of beauty samples. My biggest gripe in the surprise of a monthly beauty box is that I'm not sure any of the samples are "specially curated just for me" which is fine because most of them do a great job at providing sample products that I have really enjoyed. Others make me believe that I'm going to receive a great box then I feel like I end up with the leftovers. I know this by reading the posts of bloggers who
