July 2012 Beauty Army Kit


I joined the army!! Just kidding, it's really just the beauty army but whatever, I'm so excited!! Di over at It's Just Di turned me onto this subscription service and I absolutely love her for it. I was excited from the first moment she said you could CHOOSE YOUR OWN samples. That is perfect to me, because we know I'm always complaining about one sample or another. You can't complain with this because you choose it yourself from a variety of samples. Love it.

A peek at the post card, "Hello Gorgeous, July is a time for sunshine, renewal and most of all, fun."

INSIDE THE BOX 


PSSSSST! DRY SHAMPOO

I am definitely excited for this, it was my first pick! I am a lover of Dry Shampoo, my hair is so damaged that I absolutely can't wash it everyday so this stuff has become one of my staple items. I have never tried this brand before but I have a few friends who rave about it!

"The original dry shampoo to refresh and rejuvenate hair by soaking up excess oil, removing product build-up and boosting volume, Hair looks, feels and smells freshly shampooed. Cleans, deodorizes and conditions hair without water."

Full Size: $2.99 

AQUOLINA PINK SUGAR PERFUME

I've been wanting to try this out for quite some time, everyone raves about it. It's definitely a nice sized sample. 

The Beauty Army website doesn't have information listed for this product but I would estimate the sample is worth about $2.00

MACADAMIA HEALING OIL 

Everyone who is anyone on YouTube and the Bloggosphere has been raving about these products for MONTHS but I just could never justify spending the money, they're quite expensive. I thought when I saw this up for grabs it was going to show up as a foil packet, so you can imagine my joy when it was a nice sized bottle. It smells amazing, I can't wait to try it out. My huge fear is that I am going to fall in love with it and have to buy the full size and that's a freaking lot of money for my drugstore budget.

"A therapeutic hair oil perfect for all types of hair but is especially beneficial to dry and damaged hair."

Full Size: $13.50

YOUNGBLOOD MINERAL PRIMER

I'm always trying out new makeup primers so this was a must have for me. I  have never heard of this brand before so I am excited to see what it has to offer. 

"Perfect all-over primer for flawless make-up application and skin rejuvenation." 

Full Size: $41.00 (This is not full sized, worth $8.20)

CELL CEUTICALS SKIN TREATMENT

I don't know what this, I solely chose it based on the description and something about volcano minerals or something and that just sounded fun. 

"Uses natural enzymes and volcanic micro-minerals to gently resurface and exfoliate skine without irritation, revealing smoother, more radiant, and healthier -looking skin."

Full Size: $47.50 (This is not full sized, worth $7.11)

CONTROL CORRECTIVE CREAM

I am huge supporter of anti-aging creams and things even before it's considered "time" for them. I have a fear of wrinkles lol. So this was another easy pick for me. The full size price is crazytown and I would never purchase this, but I will love trying it out. 

"This advanced cocktail  of high performance ingredients helps stimulate collagen synthesis – thereby easing the look of fine lines, deeper wrinkles and textural irregularity – while promoting smooth, even pigment and tone."

Full Size: $96.00 (This is not full sized, worth $4.80)

TOTAL VALUE OF MY BOX: $38.60

I'd say that's a pretty good deal for $12/month. I am absolutely thrilled that I signed up for this service and I can't wait for next month. I am excited to start trying some of these products!

I'd rate this box a 10/10!

  3. Looks neat :) I wish they had a similar thing you could sign up for, for people who have sensitive skin... Like they would send you all hypo-allergenic products.

  4. The Psssst Dry Shampoo is my favorite! I've tried out like 5 (i think) different kinds and Pssst is the best by far. The Youngblood primer is a very good product too. You scored! :)

  8. That looks like a great beauty box. It seems better than Birchbox.
    They used to sell the Youngblood line at the spa I used to work at. I think its more of a salon/spa brand. They had some great makeup. Have a good day!

  9. I love seeing what people get in their boxes! I haven't heard of Beauty Army but I love that you can choose your own samples - good deal! I have Birchbox which is ok and Glossybox which I LOVE, but I might have to look into this one too!
