I recieved this BeautyBox for review. All opions are my own.
Many of you know that I usually give beauty boxes the side eye. I mean I try to like them I really do, but most of the time they’re just a bunch of small samples that you can pick up at the dollar store or in the travel section of Target. I completely understand that Beauty Box’s are supposed to introduce you to new and upcoming brands and allow you to test out the products without the commitment of buying the full size, but after so many boxes of trial sizes products a sistah just wants to supersize her order. It’s kind of like when you order a meal in the drive through and eat all your fries before you get home. If you’d of ordered the super size or “went large” you could have eaten your fries on the way home and had some left over to eat with your burger.
That’s how I feel about Beauty Boxes. I want more than that sample size to tease me. I’m looking for the whole shebang, and to my surprise the Redbook Beauty Box delivers just that. Inside the Redbook Beauty box I found not one or two full-size samples but wait for it.. three full sized samples and a deluxe travel size! Yes, three full sized samples of beauty products some that I already use and love and two new items to which I’m being introduced.
Once I reached a certain age, I had to ditch every day deodorants and start using Clinical Strength. I’m not sure if my big girl hormones kicked in or what, but my favorite out of all clinical strength deodorants is SecretW. It protects against three causes of sweat-heat, activity and stress. It seriously keeps me dry, and confident plus I love that it comes in a travel size. It’s the perfect size to throw in your gym bag or your purse.
The Vaseline Serum Advanced Relief is a must have moisturizer for the winter months. It’s especially great for those of us who suffer from eczema or severely dry and itchy skin.
No woman is complete without a fabulous manicure! I love having my nails done, but I don’t like polish that constantly chips and peels. The Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure delivers seven benefits and gel-like shine without a UV Light. I’ve not tried out this particular brand, but I’m loving the full sized bottles in a beautiful cool toned blue (In Full Blue-M) and the muted coral (Poof B-Gonia). They’re perfect for this fall season.
Paula’s Choice Skincare is a brand that I plan to try in the future, so I was super excited to see that the Redbook Beauty Box included a full-size Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant. This exfoliant is different in that it’s a leave-on exfoliant that works for acne breakouts, Anti-Aging, blackheads, enlarged pores, keratosis pilaris, redness, rosacea, and wrinkles.
Hands down this is probably my absolute favorite beauty box to date. With three full-size products and a deluxe travel size if this was a subscription box I’d be pretty pleased.
