Walmart Beauty Box? Sweet!

[JolieFleurs]

If one person gets deluxe shampoo samples and a lipstick, and someone else gets stuff worth a lot less, it's kind of not cool. 

I'm used to that with Ipsy!   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I subbed with them for 9 months, and got the lowest value combination every month. It's hard not to get variation envy in all these subs that have such a range in the variations!

At least I'll use most of the stuff I get in the WM box. I have a feeling if they had slapped a makeup item in that one variation, there'd have been a lot less anger. 

and yea, @@yousoldtheworld  definitely not a box for discovering new things. I think I'll look at it  more as a way to keep my basics replenished. (Deodorant, wipes, shampoo...) 

Too much Dove and too many foils will be the deal-killers for me, but I'm definitely sticking around for the spring and summer  boxes. 

Although after all the glitches, I wouldn't be surprised if they quit offering them.

I got bored an calculated the box values for the Winter boxes I've seen. Surprisingly (except for the box that had the full size aveeno face scrub that I haven't seen outside of the instagram sneak peek) the boxes are all around the same monetary value. I used the sample size listed (the flower fragrance sample card and mabelline powder card I just put as $0 since they didn't list an amount and were cards anyway) and then went to walmart.com and found the prices/sizes for the full sized products to calculate the sample cost. 

Of course, the monetary value doesn't really mean anything if you won't personally use the samples. However, for a box from Walmart where all we were asked for was our age, I'm pretty happy with the value/samples.

Whoops! Everyone make note of that. That wasn't the box that I got, but I had received the John Frieda samples before and knew there was a coupon, but didn't remember the value correctly.

While they were both worth the money I spent, their shipping issues and customer service (or lack thereof) made me unsubscride.  I recieived one tracking email and the other tracking email never came... Fortunately, they both showed up in the mail on the same day.  I would love to blame the shipping issues on the season, but with the last box having similar issues I just didn't want to stick around for their next mess.  Plus, both my boxes seemed to be full of random foil samples.

 

[Tamara76]

I got my daughter's box today.  They charged me on the 5th, but I never received a shipping notification on this one (received on mine, though).

She received Variation 3:

Maybelline Lipstick in Maple Kiss

Olay Fresh Effects Wipes

L'oreal Oleo Therapy Shampoo

L'Oreal Oleo Therapy Conditioner

Jergens BB Body Cream

Nivea Cocoa Butter Lotion Sample

Maybelline Dream Powder Card Sample

She and I both actually like the Maple Kiss Lipstick  - I think it's a nice neutral fall color.

I kept her Jergens BB cream because I use and love this product and she'll use everything else.

However, after comparing her box to mine, I kind of feel a little gypped as I think the second box has a lot more value.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

***Sidenote:  I used my John Frieda Shampoo and Conditioner samples and I was pleasantly surprised.  I have been a total Paul Mitchell/Living Proof/B&B girl for the last few years and haven't used a drugstore/Walmart brand in some time.  I really like how the John Frieda makes my hair look and feel.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Not ready to cancel the sub yet, though.  For $5, I'll give it another shot.

I randomly got Variation 3 delivered to me today.  I haven't been keeping track of the Walmart boxes at all aside from noticing there was a new charge on my CC so I was pleasantly surprised.  I am 26 and it seems that my particular box was for 20somethings?  I think it's well worth the $5, and I live in an area where the Maybelline lipstick goes for $7.99 or so so it's not bad at all. 

 

[lindzebra]

Woo! Got my box today with no tracking. I got the variation with Maple Kiss - very excited about this. The Covergirl gloss would have been fine, too. As all over the place as the shipping is for this box, I'm going to stick with it because it's worth it to me.

 

[BeautyLoverIT]

I still haven't gotten my box or tracking.. 

 

[greenmtx]

I never received tracking, but received the Maple Kiss box today.  I'm fine with it, as I will use most of the stuff!

 

[mckondik]

Got my boxes yesterday with no tracking.  My elderly box was the leftover/foils variation and my youngster box was the Maple Kiss variation. I'm happy I knew there were age variations so I  could cheat and get at least one makeup sample!

 

[daisygirl2]

I received tracking information on December 15th. It has never updated and continues to say tracking information is not available. I was in the group of people whose boxes were "forgotten" in the fall round of shipping and I have little faith that this box will ever show up. I sent an email asking Brand Share to find it, send a new one or refund my money. Hopefully that will get some positive response.

 

[JolieFleurs]

Interesting..... I just got a shipping notice for my niece who is going to school in SoDak, and it's not from WM OR Brandshare. It's from @mgainnovation.com

My other ones were all from Brandshare. 

I wonder if they've switched?

She's getting the Trendsetter2 version.

This is what I got - got the maple kiss box

 

[JolieFleurs]

Huh, the Trendsetter 2 box I got was the one with the Color-liscious and all the Dove. I think she'd prefer the box you got, fingers crossed!

 

[invisiblegirl]

Finally got someone on the phone yesterday. It was a lady who said it was their answering service. She said she would expedite getting tracking to me, and I actually got it today.

Getting ClassicBeauty Winter 1. Apparently it hopped on the barge on the 22nd. Scheduled delivery is Jan. 6th. We will see.  Now I have to go through this forum again and see what that one might be. If anyone who sees this, and had that on their tracking can tell me which version it is, much appreciated!

 

[Laura Etchison]

My email said WM ClassicBeautyWinter 1-Label and I rec'd the one with all of the foils.  Geezer box!

 

[SneakyBurrito]

My email said WM ClassicBeautyWinter 1-Label and I rec'd the one with all of the foils. Geezer box!

I went back and looked, and mine said the same.  I also got the box-o-foils.

 

[invisiblegirl]

Thanks for letting me know you guys. Now my expectations are even lower. Lol! I won't be anxiously awaiting that one.
