I thought the Winter box would ship in December, but it didn't ship until January. That's ok. I got LOTS of goodies in December, and both my Ipsy and Birchboxes are late this month, so the Walmart boxes helped to sooth my addiction.
You may remember that with the fall box I changed the birthdate on one order to get different boxes. I did in fact get different items. The problem is I'm not sure which is the 'younger' box. Oops :P Oh, well, I'll figure it out. In the meantime, here they are:
Obviously, they're very similar. Both boxes contained:
Goody Slideproof elastics ($4)
I have super long hair and tend to only use these thin elastics on the rare occasions I wear a braid. These have silicone 'nubs' on them that are supposed to help them stay in your hair while still being gentle.
nspa Exotically Creamy Coconut Rich Body Butter (50 mL, $5)
This looks like a nice product, and there's an info card about it included, too. I've been getting a lot of coconut-based products lately, and it's a real boon to the people around me: I'm allergic to coconut! This will make a nice little gift basket for someone.
Aveeno Skin Relief gentle scent lotion with nourishing coconut (1 fl oz $1 )
Aveeno Skin Relief gentle scent body wash with nourishing coconut (1 fl oz $1)
Notice a trend? I was pretty bummed about it. I love Aveeno products (usually) and will be very happy to pass this one on to someone who isn't allergic. I'll also be very happy with the beauty industry moves away from coconut and on to their next 'miracle ingredient'.
Pantene 4 Extra Strong Hold Hairspray (1 fl oz $2)
This seems to be a good hairspray. Pantene usually makes quality products, it smells good and NO COCONUT!! Hairspray isn't a product I use often, so I'm happy to have a couple of these small sizes on hand for those rare occasions I need it.
Olay Regenerist foil packets
One sample of micro-sculpting cream and one of tone perfecting cream. I'm not a fan of foil packs, but my mom and I both enjoy Olay products so these will be used.
Two $3 Olay coupons (one for each of the sample products).
One box, the one I assume is geared towards the 38 year old, also contained:
Foil Packets of Ken Paves You Are Beautiful Shampoo, Conditioner, and Thick Conditioning Mask ($1)
I'm actually looking forward to using this one. I've started tossing foil packets in my overnight bag when we travel since they're usually only one or two uses. The ingredients are not listed, so I'll have to make sure there's no coconut! Paraben and Sulfate free.
Vera Wang Embrace sample vial ($3)
Rose Buds and Vanilla are the primary notes of this perfume, with some subtler notes of mandarin and magnolia. I'm not a fan, but I'm uber picky about perfumes and tend to especially dislike floral based ones--particularly rose :D I'll add this to the growing pile of perfume samples to pass on to others.
A Find your current color ring card set from Clairol root touch up, with a $2 coupon off one clairol root touch up.
$5 coupon for Women's rogaine.
The other box, the one I assume is geared towards the 20 year old, contained:
Foil Packet sample of Jennifer Aniston the fragrance, including a coupon for $3 off a $22 or more purchase of the line.
Jergens wet skin moisturizer foil packets, one each of coconut and monoi, as well as a $1 off coupon.
Foil packets of Loreal Total Repair 5 shampoo, conditioner, and ceramide. I've used this product before and like it.
A find your match card for Loreal true match foundation and a $1 off coupon.
All in all, I wasn't blown away with these boxes, BUT I would have been if I wasn't allergic to coconut. And actually, there are enough coconut products in here to make small 'thank you' gifts, so I'll probably do that. As usual, the boxes are certainly worth the $5 price tag, and I won't be cancelling my subscription.
