Hey Beauty and Subscription Box Lovers! These are the subscription box products I received and tested this week. These are my honest opinions and suggestions. I have linked where you can buy the products if you so choose. I hope you learn more about the products subscription boxes offer. I really enjoy testing these products. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
I received this product (deluxe sample) in my Summer 2015 BeautyCon BFF Box. I have stick straight hair and can never achieve that beachy wave look. I was so hoping this product would help me achieve it. However, it falls short. It does add some texture to my hair, but not a lot. It definitely didn't add any waves. It smells amazing and I love that it doesn't weight my hair down. It doesn't make my hair feel sticky or crunchy at all. I really love the smell, so I would use it more as a hair deodorizer. It just didn't give me beachy hair. If you have some wave in your hair, then you will love this spray. I definitely think it would work on someone who doesn't have stick straight hair.
I received this product in my September 2015 Tombox. I don't own that many lip liners. I have like a billion other lip products, but not lip liners. I am always happy to receive lip liners. I love this color so much. It is so flattering. The liner is drying, but most liners are. It looks amazing on its own as a matte lipstick. It also looks amazing with a gloss on top. In the second lip picture, I used a light pink gloss on top. I love how it turned out and I will be wearing this lip combination a ton because I am obsessed with it. The liner wears for a long time and it is very easy to apply. It doesn't drag on the lips. I just really love this lip liner and need to pick up more shades from this brand.
I received this product (deluxe sample) in my September 2015 Glossybox. I really like this shade and it is perfect for everyday or office wear. It is a really glossy color and very pigmented. You could get away with just one coat. It dries rather quickly and last a good amount of time before chipping. Overall, I really love the shade and the formula.
I received this product in my Fall 2015 FabFitFun Box. It is a nice color, but not my favorite. The gloss is a bit sticky, but nothing too awful. It is really pigmented, but kinda disappears on the lips. I like the gloss, but not for the price. There are very similar glosses for much cheaper. The shade goes with many looks, but just isn't my favorite nude shade. The gloss lasts a decent amount of time, but nothing to write home about. Overall, this is just an okay lipgloss.
Rating:I received this product (sample) in my October 2015 Featured Birchbox. This product is ridiculously expensive. It would have to be a complete miracle cream for that price. I really do like this cream. It is very thick and moisturizing. It would be so perfect in the drier winter months. It is heavily scented though. I like the smell but if you have a sensitivity to fragranced products, you may want to stay away from this one. I really do like this cream. I didn't notice any major difference in my skin, but it does feel very nice. I would totally repurchase if it was not so expensive.
I received this product (deluxe sample) in my October 2015 Featured Birchbox. I love the shade and it would be flattering on any skin tone. The formula is nice and it is rather moisturizing on the lips. The color is not super pigmented. It adds a bit of color to the lips; therefore, it is an appropriate every day color. The color doesn't last very long on the lips and I had to apply it often. However, that didn't really bother me. I really like this chubby stick.
Rating:I received this product (sample) in my October 2015 Featured Birchbox. I love trying eye creams because that is one of the first places that show signs of aging. Therefore, I am always up for testing products that slow the aging process down. This eye serum is very luxurious. It feels amazing under the eyes. It sinks in immediately and leaves the under eyes so hydrated. I can tell that this product will be amazing with continued use. It is seriously such a nice eye serum. I think I might have to bite the bullet and purchase the FULL SIZE. I just have been loving testing it so much.
Rating:I received these products (samples) in my October 2015 Mishibox. One is a toner and one is a moisturizer. The toner is very thick and feels very hydrating on the face. I really love it and love how it left my skin feeling. It also removed any extra makeup that was left behind. The moisturizer is nice, but it is heavily scented. It smells more like an expensive hand lotion then a facial lotion. However, my skin did feel nice using it. It wasn't my favorite moisturizer, but it was nice. I like the formula of these products, but I absolutely hate the packaging. It is extremely difficult to get any of the product out. I really hope the FULL SIZES don't have the same problem. It really made them a pain to use.
Rating:I received this product in my October 2015 Mishibox. I am not exactly sure what a peeling gel does. The instructions are all in another language. It looks like a basic cleanser to me. It does have a very (and I mean barely there) exfoliants. It is a really nice and gentle cleanser. I love how it makes my skin feel. I have been using it morning and night and it hasn't irritated my skin at all. My skin feels so smooth and hydrated. This is the perfect fall/winter cleanser. I will continue using this because I just really love it. It doesn't have much of a smell and I love it.
I received this product (sample) in my October 2015 Birchbox. This is a wet mascara formula and the wand is pretty big. I am obsessed with this mascara. It really opened my eyes up immediately. I have never used a mascara that made my eyes look so big. I wouldn't even need two coats with this mascara. It doesn't clump up and doesn't flake off. I love the formula and love the mascara wand. It is a very black mascara and lasts all day. This mascara made me feel like I have false lashes on, but I don't. I fell in love with it instantly. I am really going to have to buy the FULL SIZE when I run out of this sample. I am so impressed.
I received this product (sample) in my October 2015 Beautyfix Box. I have never tried a cream formulated specifically for the neck. I couldn't wait to try this product. It is a really nice cream and is very moisturizing. It is suppose to firm, tighten, and smooth the neck. This is too small of a sample to see any major results. However, my neck does feel nice and look a bit smoother. It doesn't have a strong smell and it sinks into the skin very quickly. I really liked this neck cream.
Rating:I received this product in my October 2015 Beautyfix Box. I get so many black liners in subscription boxes. I was not too excited about this one. However, it is a pretty decent formula. It is very creamy and very pigmented. It glides on the eyes so easily and lasts for a decent amount of time. It does smudge a bit and is not totally waterproof. However, I just love how creamy and black it is. This is a really nice black eyeliner.
I really enjoyed testing the products I received in my subscription boxes. What do you think of the items? Are your opinions the same as mine? Are you picking up any of the products? Let me know in the comments below!
