My first Blush Mystery Beauty Box!!

So, a few weeks ago, I posed the question on one of my video's or maybe even on my Facebook page, ( I can't remember which to be honest) asking what beauty box would you all recommend. Someone who watched that video told me about the Blush Mystery Beauty Box, and gave such a stunning review of it, I HAD to give it a try and I was NOT DISAPPOINTED!
 All of the items came wrapped in this stamped tissue paper and the first thing that I noticed after removing the actual bag out was that there were SAMPLES in the bottom of the box!! WTF?! 
 These little gems were actually JUST samples and not what other boxes will include in the actual box that you are paying for as the samples of the box. Included in the samples was an oil serum for wrinkles and crows feet, a Laura Geller Spackle sample , and finally a very substantial sample of a Blush cream eye shadow in the shade "azure".

After the initial shock of actually receiving the samples for free,I dove into the actual items in the box. First up was a full size nail polish by the company" LVX" 
The shade, I was not too crazy about because it does not look well with my skin shade, however this particular brand of nail polish is 5 FREE (not 3)  and was described as chip resistant and animal cruelty free which is important. 

Next we have: 
 Amlactin, which is a foot cream used to slough off rough patches on your feet and moisturize. Now I would have considered this product ideal for the spring and summer months because that is sandal season, and most women ,if anything like me, are paying special attention to their feet in the warmer months. Pedicures in the summer are a weekly if not a biweekly ritual,  but as we enter the fall months, this product has reminded me of how important it is to take care of your feet with pedicures ALL year around and not just the spring/summer months. Fuzzy socks and nighttime moisture weekly pedicure routine, here I come!

Next:  
 Now when I saw the heading on this tube I was like " ummm no thanks!", just because it said "Ultra Peel" I thought it may be something that may be too harsh for my face. However, after reading the description, I saw that it is actually a dark spot treatment cream.   I have been looking for a dark spot treatment cream,  so I am hoping that this one is some hidden gem that works miracles. 

Next was an item that I received in another beauty box but just in a different shade: 
 This fuchsia shade is very bright and does "Pop" lol, but not quite what I had in mind for the coming Fall season. However, some of you know how I am about my lip products so I will TAKE IT!! LOL!!

Next was a dry shampoo by the brand Alterna
 Now the package says ANTI-AGING, but I don't know what that means in conjunction with the fact that this is a dry shampoo. Is there such a thing as anti aging dry or wet shampoo and what exactly does it do?? In ANY case, this item is also free of parabens and cruelty free which again, is amazing!! As I stated in my unboxing video,{ or at least I MEANT to state it this way :o) } I do use dry shampoo as a refresher and to add a "different" texture to my hair when it needs it and I don't have time to wash it. 

When I pulled this next item out of the box it was as if the heavens opened up and poured out a song of unparalleled ..... Ok maybe I am exaggerating but it was AWESOME!! Anastasia clear brow gel!! I am just over the moon that an Anastasia product was included in a BEAUTY BOX!! As someone who owns a few Anastasia products, I know that this is a very expensive line but also one of quality that is well worth it. Sooo excited!!!!

And Finally, this is an anti aging skincare system that was included in its entirety from the brand Racinne.
 What was so amazing to me was that this kit included a serum, two creams, ( one for your decolletage, and one for your face ) and a mask. Now these items were not in full size, but each item in this 4 piece kit was a deluxe sample and suitable for multiple applications.

My overall opinion of this box is that it is AMAZING!! I am so excited to have gotten the information to sign up for their monthly subscription. Now this subscription service is a bit pricey as their monthy subscription service is $24.95 but I totally think that it is worth it! When I went on to order this box, I searched for coupon codes and found one to give you $5.00 off of your first box when you sign up for a monthly subscription. I will link below the link to the actual box, the coupon code, and my video unboxing!! Thanks for reading and happy shopping!!!
