The Cost: $24.95/mo (plus tax)
What You Get: A box of $100 worth of full and deluxe size skincare, haircare and beauty samples, free shipping and a mystery gift!
This box only had five items this month but four of them were full size! Also, I received a free mystery item and two samples along with the regular box. Love!
Starting with my mystery gift and samples. I was pretty impressed that I got a full sized product and a good one!
Klorane Dry Shampoo with Nettle- I don't actually use dry shampoo but I know that this would have made a lot of girls happy to find it in their box. I did think it was a little weird that they included another dry shampoo since the main box had one in it as well.
Full Size Value: $19.50
Included Size: FULL SIZE
Sonya Dakar Omega-3 Repair Complex- This is better for acne prone skin as well as rosacea. I cannot use it because it contains lavender oil which I am allergic to. I think this is an natural brand as well.
Full Size Value: $42/1oz
Included Size: no amounts are listed but I'm guessing .17oz $3
Jade and Burdock Purifying Toner- sample packet- I'll be using this, I like trying new toners.
Oscar Blandi Volumizing Dry Shampoo- I got this in a FabFitFun (I think) box so I have a full size sitting on my vanity already. This will go up for swap or stocking stuffer!
Full Size Value: $28
Included Size: FULL SIZE
Jonathan Infinite Volume Shampoo for Fine/Thin hair- I do have fine and thin hair so maybe this will improve things!
Full Size Value: $18
Included Size: FULL SIZE
Cult Cosmetics Nail Polish in Laguna- I'm really happy I got Laguna! This is a great salmony pink! I've already swatched it and need to remove my Nicole by Opi Roughles in order to apply it.
Full Size Value: $12
Included Size: FULL SIZE
And last but not least:
La Bella Donna Lip Crayon in Luscious- Just the color I wanted! This is a great lip crayon. It applies richly and smoothly with great pigment and a nice subtle shimmer. Not sure how I feel about the liner part. Mostly because the point is so thick and I prefer a nice thin line. I'll see how it goes.
Full Size Value: $28
Included Size: FULL SIZE
Darphin Stimulskin Plus Total Anti-Aging- This has a load of interesting plant related ingredients. It says anti-aging but there is no retinol. There's also, sadly, no vitamin C and the amount of vitamin e and hyaluronic acid is so small it's basically negligible. That aside, I'm still going to try it because why not? :D
Full Size Value: $295/1.7oz
Size Included: .17oz (~$20)
So I'm very happy with this bag! Just the lip crayon pays for the bag and the total value is kind of unreal. It's got a value of $106 and thats without the extra Klorane and samples ( about $130 with)! Of course I have to reiterate that value is relative. Frankly speaking, I will definitely be using the lip crayon, the Cult polish and the Darphin. The two dry shampoos will go up for swaps because I have so much and I just don't use it.
However, it should be noted that swapping is awesome and I don't consider it a loss. Being able to swap just makes every bag MORE worth it because I can get something I *will* use. And dry shampoo is a highly swappable item. I know, I know, its ridiculous. You never knew there was a whole swapping underworld, did you?
You can send me an email at agirlinthegarden@gmail.com and I can send you a referral that will give you $10 off a $30 order. You can use it on anything you want including a Blush Mystery Box! That's how I got started :) If you use the link I send you, I also will get $10 off, so thank you in advance! :)
