Let’s find out shall we?
I did have a photo of the contents all laid out but for some reason either my camera or computer ate it.
Every Beauty Makeup Remover Pads with Argan Oil Extract {Travel Size} $1.29
Moistened
After Use
Pros
- Made of all natural cotton that is infused with Argan Oil Extract & Vitamin E.
- Water activated so you don’t have to worry about the pads drying out. {My favorite feature!}
- Super soft, yet effective at removing makeup
- Alcohol free
- No rinsing needed
- Portable
Cons
- I couldn’t find anywhere else to buy via google search except from their website. I don’t ever mind ordering online, but you would have to make sure you stayed stocked up because you can’t just go to a store to replenish.
Verdict
I will definitely be purchasing. I love that you can have a great makeup remover without tons of chemicals & skin beneficial ingredients infused as well. Add that to the fact that they won’t dry out & this is a genius product! LOVE!
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion {Travel Size} $1.99
Pros
- Unscented
- A little goes a long way
- Non-greasy
- Moisturizing
Cons
- I might get 2 uses out of the bottle maybe
Verdict
I probably won’t purchase this unless I’m in a pinch because I am beyond addicted to my SheaMoisture Olive & Green Tea Body Butter with Avocado.
NUBAR Nail Lacquer in White Tip {Trial Size} worth about $2.25
Pros
- Affordable
- Stark white so it is perfect for French Manicures or if you just want white polish
- The handle was super comfortable to use. All nail polishes should go with this design
Cons
- Pretty streaky
- Almost chalky in texture
- Took a long time to dry
Verdict
I will use this until it is gone, but I won’t be purchasing unless I am unable to find an adequate stark white polish similar in color.
h2o+ Face Oasis Hydrating Skin Treatment {Trial Size} worth about $5.75
Pros
- Oil free
- Delivers deep hydration while minimizing the appearance of fine lines with phospholipids, multivitamin complex, & moisturizing marine botanicals
- Light gel texture
- Noticeable skin tightening after one use
Cons
- Initially has a very drying feel but that goes away in a few minutes
Verdict
I have way too many moisturizers in my possession to even thinking about purchasing, but if you’re looking for a different, yet effective moisturizer, this one is pretty great!
bellapierre Cosmetics Shimmer Powder in Champagne {Full Size}$14.99
Pros
- Gorgeous shimmery neutral shade
- 100% pure mica powder
- A little bit goes a long way
- Long lasting
- I didn’t see any where to purchase at a store level. Which isn’t a deal breaker for me.
Verdict
If my makeup organizer wasn’t already overflowing with eyeshadow right now, I would definitely purchase! They have 56 shades to choose from & they are all gorgeous based on the swatches!
When all is said & done, I received roughly $26 worth of beauty products from brands that I had never heard of, let alone used, & it would have cost $12 with shipping included!
Fab for less? My kind of service!
