 This box is valued at $13.76, the value of this box isn't very high but I got a bunch of new products to try. The Boo-Boo Cover-ups are interesting they work just like a temporary tattoo I will be doing a review on these really soon. Finally the last color in the Whip Hand Eyeshadow collection is here, and it is a beautiful copper color and I love it. The lash cards are really handy I am a bit disappointed because I thought they would be a bit thicker. The bar soap smell divine! I recently got a Lavender and Lemon candle and the combination is great and this soap smells just like my candle. The Say Yes to Carrots body butter is a small sample but it will be enough to see if I like it. The Bath and Body Works body wash is an extra for me since I swear it is my 10th bottle but I love having the extras around for guests.

December Beauty Army #1

 Lately it seems that I keep getting so many duplicates between my two Beauty Army subscriptions that I am starting to get bored with the service. Don't get me wrong I love being able to pick my own samples but I seem to be stocking up on shower gels, lip glosses and other random products. I think the only reason why I am keeping my sub right now is for those dang boxes! I love them, they are currently keeping my entire makeup and sample collection organized. Every time one box seems to be getting full I can always count on another to one to come in the mail filled with more goodies.

Well it seems that I had completely forgotten that I received my one of December boxes, it wasn't until I unboxed one of my January boxes that I realized I had already gotten that same colored lipgloss. So I set about trying to find the pictures of that box and I never took any, I had put away all my samples without even photographing them which is unheard of! I almost always take my photos right away so that I can use the products or put them away. Well I should end my ramblings and get on to the box right?

This overall value for this box is $23.13 it isn't high but I picked out some items that I am going to use to stock up the guest bathroom this summer. First up is the mark. lipgloss in honey, I had gotten the red gloss in a previous box and I wanted a more neutral color so I picked this one up. The Yes to Blueberries Eye product is something I really wanted because I love all the Yes to products I have tried so far. Now these eye gels are amazing! I was glad to grab a second pair, I do plan on buying a full size set in the future because these really work. This is my second bottle of BB&W Paris Amour but it think it will be quite appropriate for my upcoming trip to Paris. This is my third bottle of this hairspray and I mainly picked them up for my mother when she comes to visit. Now the last sample is a small packet of conditioner I really don't plan on using it until I get the matching shampoo. I am still currently trying to work through all of my shampoo and conditioner samples, it has been 2 months and I still have several left before I can go back to my normal Dove shampoo.

This was another box that took roughly 6 weeks to get to me and then when it did come most of it became stocking stuffers or presents to friends. 

So what is everything valued at? 

November Beauty Army #2

So I do have to note that I did have 6 products in my box this month but my Whip Hand eyeshadow opened up and got dumped over everything. After cleaning the products in my box it was the only sample that was damaged. This month I opted in for a mystery sample but I wasn't too thrilled at what was sent. Overall the this box wasn't as great as I thought I it might have been when I first ordered it.

So what was all sent and my reaction to the products read below the break for more!

October Box #2

For the most part I have started getting underwhelmed by the fact that it is taking almost a six weeks for me to receive my boxes over here in Germany, but I am glad that I can still get them because shopping for cosmetics/beauty products/etc. on post is very limited. Now what did I pick out in this box this time around?

Grand Central Beauty S.M.A.R.T. Skin Perfecting Mask

Grand Central Beauty S.M.A.R.T. Mask

I finally tried out this mask sample I got through Beauty Army. I was glad to find out it is a peel off mask because they are my favorite. So how well did it work?

Indie Lee The Daily Moisturizing Oil

Since I have oily skin I have avoided using it on my face. Also the lavender scent I find is too strong for my face, so I have settled on using it as a cuticle oil. As a cuticle oil it seems to be working perfectly fine. I have been using it after my manicures or whenever I have noticed that they seem dry.  Pairing this oil up with my lavender L'Occitane hand cream has really been keeping my hands and cuticles from drying out from the cold air.

Overall I probably won't purchase the full size version of this but I will reuse the bottle since it is the perfect size to keep in my manicure kit.

So what all came in this box and how much was it worth?

 So what all did I pick and what was it worth?

Delizioso Skincare Mangosteen & Acai Super Anti-Aging Facial Cream

Delizioso Skincare Mangosteen & Acai Super Anti-Aging Facial Cream

 I don't know how to put this but the smell is sickeningly disgusting. At first I thought okay maybe it is just the mangosteen in it and the smell will fade. No, it doesn't! It lingers forever on my hand and doesn't wash off and since it is a face cream I could never use it on my face. I honestly can say I have no clue how it works because the smell is so bad that I couldn't even use it. And this sample was supposed to be worth almost $20 and in my opinion it is worth less than a dollar. I guess I will have a nice little jar for other samples once I get rid of this stuff.

Final opinion: I will never buy this.
