fall 2014 walmart beauty box

hi all! walmart has started a quarterly beauty box program! it's free*! (*just pay $5 shipping for each shipment) if you'd like to subscribe, you can sign up here. apparently there were two different boxes sent out based upon age range and here's what i gots! ~Lin-chan ^.~

thoughts: i think that this was a pretty good deal with a nice variety, relative to the target beauty boxes which have about 5 items, also for $5.

i wasn't all that careful with that lip swatch..but whatevs. you get the idea.

1. neutrogena nourishing long wear makeup with tone correcting complex sample card & $2 off coupon (sample, ret. $14.99 for 1oz) -- this is, like it says, just enough to match yourself. idk if i'll actually wind up buying a full size because i'm pretty content with the foundations i have now.
   repurchase? probably not
2. covergirl glowing nights glosstini nail polish in #laserlight (.11oz--full size, ret. $2.97) -- i like my dark polishes, but if it looks black on me when it's not supposed to be black, then i'll usually pass. this is an extremely dark navy that leans black in the bottle but, like i said you almost can't tell the difference on the nails.
   repurchase? no
3. loreal glossy balm in lovely mocha (2.7g--full size, ret. $6.97) -- i almost didn't try this out but i'm glad i did. even though this is mocha, on me it's a nice pinky nude shade. it looks very glossy and feels pretty comfortable too.
   repurchase? maybe other colors
4. l'oreal youthcode pore vanisher (.06oz sample, ret. $19.97 for 1.4oz [$0.86]) -- i'll have to update on this later. i'm not in on the whole antiaging products thing yet. from what i hear, it's got a similar feel to a primer but it's not really supposed to be used as a primer..something like that...
   repurchase? nah
5. nicki minaj pink friday perfume (.04oz sample, ret. $29.97 for 1oz [$1.20]) -- this is so fruity and unexpected!! i really like it.
   repurchase? yes-side of maybe
6. dove oxygen moisture shampoo & conditioner (1oz each--minis, ret. $4.99/ea for 12oz [$0.83]) -- i'm actually thinking of giving these away since it says it's for fine, flat hair...which i definitely don't have and shampoos that have "moisture" in the name typically make me look greasy within just a few hours.
   repurchase? no
7. dove pure care dry oil (.4oz mini, ret. $11.99 for 3.38oz [$1.42]) -- this smells like baby powder for some reason...it's not something i totally like in my hair but i'll try it and possibly use it up.
   repurchase? probably not
8. secret clinical strength invisible solid deodorant in completely clean (1.6oz full size?, ret. $9.99) -- i really like their original, which is in the "advanced solid" form..whatever that means..anyway i'm excited to try it.
   repurchase? probably

approximate product value: ~$24.24
