What's In My Walmart Beauty Box?

Thursday, October 30, 2014

Disclosure: This is not a sponsored post, all items were purchased by me.


Hey Everyone!!

I ordered the Walmart Beauty Box about a month ago and about a week later it showed up in the mail. It was only $5 and I believe that's just your shipping costs. There two different boxes floating around for Fall 2014. The word on the street is that it is based on your age that you input when signing up to purchase a box. 29 years and younger got a different box than I received. *pouts*

Anyway, let's get into what I got in my 37 year old box. #lightshade










Clear Scalp & Hair Damage & Color Repair samples
Juicy Couture Couture Couture fragrance sample
Secret Clinical Strength Clear Gel Antiperspirant/Deodorant( 1.6 oz)
L'Oreal Revitalift Triple Power Deep Acting Moisturizer
CoverGirl Continuous Color Lipstick in It's Your Mauve
Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream Moisturizer


My Take:

I feel super old. Olay and Loreal Skin products, that funky Juicy Couture scent, that Dollar Tree CoverGirl lipstick??? Sheesh. Best thing about the box was the Clinical Strength Deodorant. That joint cost a grip without a coupon.


This was the box the 29< crowd got that I WANTED!!! See that L'Oreal Balm and the Covergirl Polish? And some Clinical Strength Deodorant??


Oh well....

Are Your HSN ( Hair, Skin and Nails) Vitamins Working? How To Know + My Favorite HSN Vitamins.....

Sunday, October 26, 2014

Hey Everyone!!

Long time, no see, uh???? Got a wild hair to blog again. I miss this medium of the interaction of the beauty community, so here I am.:)



Now, I made a New Year's resolution to take HSN ( Hair, Skin and Nails) vitamins for a full year and I have been doing pretty good at it. For the exception of a few weeks missed here and there, I have been taking them consistently. The main issue I had to solve with them was finding one that I could swallow comfortably and I did that.

I have a lot of my friends ask "How do you know those vitamins are working?" "Is your hair longer?".

From my experience, there are a couple of ways I see my HSN vitamins working their magic. Here are a couple you may experience or see as you take them CONSISTENTLY.

-My nails are stronger, not necessarily longer but the peeling and breaking stops.

-My cuticles get thicker.

-Around my menstual cycle, my skin has no breakouts at all. #miracleshappen

-The roots of my hair are thicker and my hair becomes harder to detangle. Remember your hair grows from the roots, not the ends. That's where you will see growth.

-I shave and remove hair from my legs, underarms and bikini area more often.

-My lashes grow wild. lol! True story, I have grown these wild lashes, not thicker but wild.

One of my negative side effects is that I can't take the vitamins on an empty stomach or will be in stomach trouble all day. I take the HSN vitamins on a full belly, either in the morning or after dinner.



My favorite HSN vitamins right now are Nature's Bounty Optimal Solutions Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies with Biotin. I take 4 of them, giving me 5,000 mcg of Biotin.


So.....are you taking HSN vitamins and how are they working for you? Let me know in the comments!!!
