Subscription Boxes
Blush Mystery Beauty Box
This is another subscription that sends you mostly full and some deluxe sample products every month. The samples appear to be more skin and beauty products not makeup. I have a hard time finding skin products I like with there being sooo many options. These are good sample sizes that can really give you and idea if you really do like the product or not. It costs $24.95 for a monthly subscription or $34.95 for a one time order. They use to not charge sales tax in most states, but I was charged sales tax for a state that wasn't listed in their terms and conditions. I contacted them about it and they have since updated their terms and conditions that sales tax is now charged in all states. I got an email that my Beauty Box will be shipping soon and there was no sales tax, so I'm not sure what's going on with that. Blush is linked with DermStore, Hair Envy and Blush. You will usually get a beauty box that retails for around $100. For your first bag you get added goodies and there are lots of free item codes. I will hunt them down again and add them here.
Laura Geller Beauty Spackle Under Make-Up Primer Sample is about $7.50 for 0.50 oz, retail is $30 for 2 oz. I am always on the lookout for new primers, did a good job at keeping my face from getting too oily.
Suki 100% Organic Cotton Wash Cloth Retail $10.95
March 2014 Box
Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Retail for 4 oz is $21 this sample is 1 oz is about $5.25. I really liked this product because it helps to unclog pores and prevents breakouts while not overdrying your skin.
Full size Dermatologic Cosmetic Laboratories Ultra Light Hydrator 3.5 oz. Retail $27.60. This is also another product I love from this box. I find most face lotions I try always make me break out, so far so good with this one!
Talika Eye Therapy Patch, Retail $67 for 6 this sample that can be used 3 times, is worth about $11. I haven't had the chance to try this, but I have been reading about these wonder patches that refresh tired and puffy eyes in 30 minutes
(Sorry for the blurry image on this one) It is Sarah McNamara Miracle Skin Transformer Hydroactive Microderm. This is a very good exfoliater! Not too harsh like some products can be and it smelled great, kind of like citrus fresh smell, which is great to help wake you up in the morning. Sample value is about $11 for the 0.50 oz, Retail $34 for 1.7 oz
I always have heard rave reviews about StriVectin products, but couldn't bring myself to purchase due to the higher prices. Now I get to try one! It is Strivectin-SD Intensive Concentrate for Stretch Marks and Wrinkles. Retail for 5 oz is $139 This sample is 0.50 oz worth about $13.90
