So I finally got my much anticipated first BeautyArmy kit today! For those of you who have not heard of BeautyArmy it is a monthly subscription beauty sampling service , much like Birchbox, only its 12 dollars a month where BB is 10 and unlike BB with BeautyArmy you fill out a beauty profile and they give you samples to choose from! Its up to 6 deluxe sized samples and you pick the ones you want to try. BA launched on Jan 1st and besides some unhappy folks with the meltdown of their site on launch date they seem to have some very happy customers and great customer service. Dont get me wrong I looooove my Birchboxes but I do love picking my own samples especially since the last few Birchboxes were a little disappointing. So I am really excited to be trying BeautyArmy!
I love the box....Its the cutest thing ever!
The thing I am most excited to try is the Sheaterra Organics Rose Hips Black Soap.....It says it is a deep pore facial soap and micro-dermabrasion in a bottle! It smells a little funny and feels a bit well....weird but I have read great reviews about it and I am anxious to try it out!
The next thing is myface cosmetics and it is an eyeshadow Blingtone in the color gilt-y... The color swatched nicely and it is FULL SIZED! The retail on this eyeshadow alone is 20 dollars on their website.
So most of us have heard of JOICO In fact it was one of the few brands on the size I knew well. This sample is the K-Pak Revitaluxe..It seems to be a hair mask of sorts..I have always liked Joico products and I am sure this will be no exception, since my hair is so nappy maybe it will help!
next is a Lift Lab eye cream...small sample but I have read good things about the brand and since my eyes are small it is enough to try for maybe a week . That should be enough to decide if it works or not.
Now on to the StriVectin-EV this one is a brightening serm....I have tried some of the StriVectin products in the passed and although some people think it is a miracle treatment I myself wasnt to impressed. I mean for me the results were just ok. But I havent tried this one and maybe its great stuff! the retail on this stuff is up there so it will have to make my skin look 16 again for me to buy it! lol (fingers crossed)!
And on the Chella eye mask kit! I got this exact one in my NewBeauty Test tube...I used it then and it did make my eyes feel refreshed. I liked it pretty good. I did notice on my BA sample page I was supposte to get an eye cream sample with the kit but I did not. Booo I wanted to try the eye cream. Anyway it seems well worth the 12 bucks. And I dont know how good you could see the picks but the box that they send it in is simply adorable!
