Makeup and Skin Care for Mature Skin

Walmart puts out a beauty box each quarter for $5. You can get it in a Trendsetter and/or Classic version. The Trendsetter is geared more to younger women and the Classic is more for older women. I, of course, get both. The Trendsetter tends to have more makeup items and the Classic more skincare. This quarter the Tendsetter arrived first so I will review it now and do the Classic in a future post. If you are curious about what kinds of items come on Walmart beauty boxes see Walmart Fall 2016 Beauty Box – Trendsetter v Classic. Let’s take a look at what came in my spring beauty box.

Schwarzkopf Gliss Ultra Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner –  This creamy lathering shampoo formula contains Keratin Care-19 Complex which deeply repairs your hair for soft, healthy-looking hair and significantly less hair breakage. What dry, stressed hair needs.  Daily stress can dry out your hair until it reaches a breaking point.  It needs deep repair from the inside and surface reconstruction from the outside. I have used other Schwarzkopf shampoos, conditioners, and hair color and have not liked any of them. I will be very surprised if I like these either. I already can say that I do not care for the scent.

Colgate Optic White Radiant Toothpaste –  Professionally recommended teeth whitening ingredient, hydrogen peroxide. Unlike other teeth whitening toothpastes, Radiant^™ whitens teeth both inside and out. It removes deep set teeth stains below the tooth’s surface for a Radiant^™, whiter smile. It wouldn’t be a Walmart Beauty Box with a travel sized toothpaste! I have a ton of them lying around but they are good for vacation time.

Dove Advanced Care Cool Essentials Antiperspirant – There’s nothing quite like that just-showered feeling. That fresh, clean sensation is the absolute best way to start the day, so wouldn’t it be great if you could get it in a handy antiperspirant deodorant? Well, luckily for you, that’s exactly what we’ve done with Dove Advanced Care Cool Essentials Antiperspirant . Its invigorating scent of cucumber and green tea will put an extra spring in your step, and with 48 hours of antiperspirant protection, you can keep that cool, fresh feeling with you all day thanks to one of our most effective antiperspirant deodorant products. I love Dove deodorant in the winter when my underarms get really dry. It has never been strong enough for summer use but this might work for me. Unfortunately, I don’t like these small samples of solid deodorant. I find them awkward to use.

Biore Free Your Pores Baking Soda Acne Scrub – Deep clean and gently exfoliate with natural baking soda and the anti-acne fighting power of salicylic acid. I don’t really have to deal with acne anymore. I deal with some shine at the end of the day but using Tretinion / Retin A requires gentle cleansers. This will probably be too much for my skin. Look for this in an upcoming It’s Not You, It’s Me – Products Fails .

Frizz Ease Daily Nourishment Conditioner – What It Does: Replenishes moisture and repels frizz. This formula, with vital nutrients & silk protein, creates a barrier to help seal in essential hydration and lock out style-ruining moisture. I have liked every Frizz Ease product I have tried so I am looking forward to trying this out.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Shine in Radiant Rose –  NEW Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Shine has the vibrant color of a lipstick, shine of a gloss, and conditioning of a balm. It plumps the look of lips and keeps them looking smoother, juicy, and more supple. The lip shine actually improves the healthy look, softness, smoothness and condition of your lips over time. This sounds like a really cool lip product but I’m not sure of this color. It looks more pink than rose and pink is not my color. We shall see. I tried this out and it does not have vibrant color! It is basically a lip gloss with a sheer pink tint. It is good to wear as a topper for lipstick.

Rimmel Stay Matte Lightweight Liquid Mousse Foundation – A feather light, oil free formula with an airy mousse texture that won’t feel heavy or greasy. Delivers all day shine control and blends flawlessly for a natural looking matte finish. Minimizes the appearance of pores. The weight is over – finally, shine has met its matte. I absolutely love Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. I love it so much that it was one of my 5 Faves in July. But I have never had luck with their foundations. This is a 1 use sample so it will be nice to get to try this and see what I think without committing to a full bottle.

This box is only $5 so I can’t complain too much.  The Frizz Ease conditioner is the only item that I am really excited about. I would be thrilled with the Neutrogena Lip Shine if the shade didn’t look so bubble gum pink. I will probably not like the shampoo and conditioner.

Do you get the Walmart Beauty Box? Trendsetter or Classic box? Have you tried any of the products that I received? Do you like them?
