I always look forward to goodies in the mail and this was no exception.  Recently I received my Walmart Beauty Box for Summer and I’m always excited to see the goods they include.   The Walmart Beauty Box is free though you do pay a $5.00 shipping cost.  It’s sent out seasonally and this is my 5th box I have received in the last year.  Signing up is easy and you can choose to cancel or automatically be billed each time they are about to send out a new box.  Honestly, I kind of forget about the subscription until I get a notification that it is on its way.  Included in the Beauty box you can find full size or sample and deluxe size beauty goods from lotions to nail polish and everything in between.  Today I am sharing with you the goodies in my Walmart Summer Beauty Box.

Walmart Summer Beauty Box

So each season you get a box of goods that include all kinds of beauty things.  What I love about this box is that you can get full size items, travel sized items and samples.  Each season I have received a great value of products which is why I continue to stay subscribed.  While everything you receive can be found at the drugstore or from Walmart – I still think it is a great way to test out some new treats.  My Summer Beauty box included the following items:

  • Clear Scalp –  Complete Care Nourishing Dandruff Shampoo (travel size)
  • Dove Go Fresh Revitalize Body Wash in Mandarin and Tiare (travel size)
  • St. Ives Black Head Clearing Green Tea Scrub (travel size)
  • Neutrogena Cool Dry Sport Sunscreen Lotion w/SPF 70 (deluxe sample / travel size)
  • NYC Liquid Lipshine in Fashion Ave Fuchsia (full sized)
  • Nivea Soft Face, Body and Hands moisturizing cream (travel or full size)
  • You & I by One Direction Perfume Sample
  • Eco Tools, Real Techniques, Essential Tools – $2.00 coupon for each brand
  • Jergens Natural Glow – 3 Days to Glow Moisturizer (Packet Samples)

You can sign up for the Walmart Beauty Box here. So – have you heard of the Walmart Beauty Box or have you tried something similar?  I know Target has one but it is not a box that you can sign up for auto-send so I need to sign up for one each time released and a lot of the time they do not send to Hawaii due to the type of products in the contents of the box – i.e. hasmat, etc.  What I love about the Walmart box is while it can be shipped Parcel to Hawaii when hasmat items are included (which means about a 6 week delivery), at least I still have the option of trying some new products or keep a stash for travel when needed.  Overall – at $5.00 a box, it’s affordable and you get a treat every season.

Skin care is such an important part of any beauty regimen which I have stressed and talked about many times before in the past.  But many do not realize that taking care of your skin isn’t just about what you put on top of it – but what goes inside of your body.  It’s important to make sure that you are hydrating your body – water is definitely essential and protecting your skin, SPF / Sunscreen is VERY important.  But, there are products on the market today that can help you with your skin and it’s in a tasty little treat – not a pill form.

Get Beautiful and Radiant Skin With NeoCell Beauty Bursts

In the last month, I have added a new product to my skin care regimen.  NeoCell Beauty Bursts are gourmet super chews that taste pretty good – actually, I think they are delicious and deliver a high absorption of beauty nutrients in two little bite size goodies.  With key ingredients like Super Collagen 1&3 which is the body’s beauty protein and strengthens skin, hair and nails and Hyaluronic Acid – which is nature’s moisturizer and my favorite beauty secret – the NeoCell Beauty Bursts help to build beautiful skin from the inside out.

2013- “Best of Natural Beauty” Better Nutrition Magazine

2013- “Best Beauty Supplement” Delicious Living Magazine

Beauty Bursts taste pretty good for a product that is considered a supplement.  It tastes like mint chocolate and are soft and easy to chew.  It is suggested that you take 2 to 4 soft chews daily.  I prefer to take two since I already take a lot of supplements on a daily basis.  I will take them in the morning after breakfast.  I love that these are available because I take a plethora of supplements daily – from multi vitamins, hair supplements, Fish Oil and more and that doesn’t include my daily medications I take for my asthma and allergies so this makes it so much easier.  The product is made right here in the USA and does not contain soy, wheat, lactose, palm oil, starch, yeast or artificial flavors.

Get Beautiful and Radiant Skin With NeoCell Beauty Bursts

This product has an all natural formula with good flavor and if you are not good with a beauty routine that includes serums, etc – this may be a product you may want to try.  I love that all the essential ingredients in serums that I use daily are in this product so if I’m in a rush and can’t apply my normal skin products, many are still included in the chews:  i.e. Collagen Type 1 & 3, Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C.

I also love that these make it easy to continue with your beauty regimen while traveling.  No more having to worry if the size of your serums will meet the TSA regulations for travel, these fit in your purse or carry on and you’re good to go.

Get Beautiful and Radiant Skin With NeoCell Beauty Bursts

Have you tried anything like this product before to help with beautiful skin?  This is my first time trying a soft chew that offers this, but I have taken the pill form from another brand several times.  Overall – I love that I have this option available to me and while they aren’t a Kit Kat Bar or Twix, they still taste pretty good considering the ingredients and how helpful this will be for me.

Is this something you would consider adding to your beauty routine?

I am thankful that I don’t have puffy under eyes… though I’m constantly cautious and on my game because puffy under eyes or eye bags run in the family on my dad’s side.  Let’s face it, with everything on the market today – there has got to be a product that I know will help combat this issue and prevent it from happening.  Because of this issue that may be in my future, I use eye creams and gels and love to wear under eye patches to help keep my under eyes moisturized, tighter, brighter and smoother.  Over the last few weeks I have been using under eye patches from Beneleaf Anti-Aging Skin Care.  I have never heard of this brand prior to trying their products, but I think this will definitely be a household name in my home.  When it comes to a Collagen Eye Mask – under eye patches, it is important that you find one that works and feel comfortable on.  Here are my thoughts on this product.

Beneleaf Anti-Aging Skin Care Collagen Eye Masks - Under Eye Patches

Beneleaf’s Collagen Under Eye Masks retail for $24.99 (on sale now for $19.99) and come in a pack of five masks.  These patches are made from a proprietary material called Hydrogel which is identical in structure to our skin cells.  Once they come in contact with skin, the cells immediately begin to pull in all the nutrients from masks into the deepest layers of the dermis.  Immediately after applying the masks, I felt like my under eyes were quenched and hydrated and I loved it!

The collagen masks include a unique blend of proven ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid (a favorite skin care product of mine), power antioxidants and peptides which result in tighter, brighter and smoother skin around the eyes.  After the first use, I felt like my skin under my area definitely became brighter and didn’t feel as dry as it can be.  What I love is that these are just so easy to use and leave absolutely no mess behind.  The results last for days and I usually will use one once a week.

Beneleaf Anti-Aging Skin Care Collagen Eye Masks - Under Eye Patches

These masks do not stick and stay in place and do eventually start to slide if you are not laying down.  So I normally apply them and then lay in bed with a magazine or get caught up on my favorite shows.  As you can see from the photo above, they will start to slide down your face if you are not laying flat.  It doesn’t bother me though, I like to take the time to really just enjoy 10-15 minutes of relaxation time and will lay down after applying.

How to apply:

  • After thoroughly cleansing your skin, apply each mask under the eye area. (see photo)  The largest part will go nearest to your nose.
  • Allow the mask to sit and work for 10-15 minutes.  Go ahead and lay down and relax.
  • Once the time is up – carefully remove the mask.  You do not need to wash the serum off as it will work as a great treatment and will soak into the skin quickly.
  • Repeat the treatment as needed.  I usually will use one every week or so depending on how my under eyes are feeling.
  • Toss the mask away and you’re good to go till your next treatment.

These masks are suitable for all/most skin types:  Dry, Oily, Normal and Combination skin.  With my sensitive skin I didn’t notice any issues at all and it didn’t cause any flare ups or skin sensitivities.  You will notice that any puffiness and dark circles you may have will be reduced quickly.  I love that my skin feels tight and plump after one use and it’s great that these products do not contain Parabens or Alcohol.

Beneleaf Anti-Aging Skin Care Collagen Eye Masks - Under Eye Patches

If you use this product as I do, a pack of these will last you about a month – I use them once a week as needed.  The product is priced pretty well and I love how soothing it feels under my eyes.  On days where I feel like I had a crazy run around kind of time, I’ll put these on to help me relax and just enjoy the pampering.  There is a light fragrance in these products, one I haven’t quite figured out yet, but it is not overpowering and did not bother my sensitivities to smell.  I love the light cooling sensation these have on my skin and I find that putting the masks in the fridge prior to applying them (for about 30 minutes to an hour prior) makes for a great cool-off session during this hot summer heat.  I definitely recommend these and can’t wait to use more products from this line.

So – what brands do you use for under eye patches?  Have you used something like this before?

This year has absolutely flown by in a blink of an eye and in just a few short days, we are celebrating with our favorite Dads for Father’s Day.  I am always on the hunt for special gifts for my dad and my husband and while I tend to select the same type of things each year – new watch, shirt, etc. I find that sometimes a change in gift is always fun and exciting.  This year I want to share with you the Father’s Day Gift Set from Menaji SkinCare.  Prior to trying these products, my husband and I have not heard of Menaji but my husband enjoys the little set and I’m pretty sure the favorite dad in your life, or dads will enjoy it too.

Super Products For Your Super Hero Dad - Father's Day Gift Set from Menaji Skin Care http://honeygirlsworld.com

This Father’s Day Gift Set is priced at $40 and includes three great products for any dad or man in your life.  These products are best sellers of Menaji and contain formulations specifically created for a man’s skin.  My husband has very sensitive skin as I do and he has enjoyed the products included in this set so we thought it would be a great thing to share with all of you.

Super Products For Your Super Hero Dad - Father's Day Gift Set from Menaji Skin Care http://honeygirlsworld.com

Included in the set:

  • Menaji Clearshave 3-in-1:  This cool product requires no water to use and you don’t need to wipe it off.  It has a built in toner and comes in the perfect size for travel.  This product is great in protecting against razor bumps and ingrown hairs which can make sensitive skin more sensitive if you don’t have the products to help with that.
  • Menaji Power Hydrator Aftershave:  This product moisturizes without oiliness.  We especially think this is a great product because my husband can get dry skin easily and this helps to keep his skin moisturized all day.  It is super light and includes hyaluronic acid which helps to increase the skin’s moisture level and minimizes wrinkles.  It includes Chamomile, Vitamin E, Grapefruit Peel, Green Tea and Aloe Vera – all things I always suggest for soft, soothed skin after a shave and nutrients to to help brighten dulled skin.
  • Menaji Lip Agent:  This lip balm is non drying and doesn’t have a waxy texture like some lip balms can have.  It has SPF 15 to help protect those lips.  This lip balm has a peppermint flavor, smells like peppermint and applies smoothly to the lips.

Super Products For Your Super Hero Dad - Father's Day Gift Set from Menaji Skin Care http://honeygirlsworld.com

These great products arrive in repurposed cigar box filled with the products and Menaji logo tissue paper.  No two cigar boxes are the same, so the box that you see I have may not be what you get when you order yours.  You still have till June 19, 2015 to place your order and get your goods for Father’s Day.  If you are looking for a Father’s Day gift or just something for that special man in your life, this is such a great gift – my husband surely loved it.

Order your box today: 1-800-551-5067 or Menaji.com.  Check out the site to see their full sized product line and other products that they offer as well.

Pure Love - Pacifica Power of Love Eyeshadow Palette and Coco Pure Makeup Removing Wipes

It is always so exciting to see gorgeous Summery shades hit the stores for the season and I’m always immediately reminded of how much I love the summer months.  Pacifica Beauty does it again with their Power of Love Eyeshadow Palette that boasts gorgeous summery shades that remind me of the beach and the cool ocean breeze that Hawaii experiences each year.  The Pacifica Power of Love Eyeshadow Palette ($19.99) sports 10 coconut-infused mineral eye shadows that are velvety and smooth.

Pure Love - Pacifica Power of Love Eyeshadow Palette and Coco Pure Makeup Removing Wipes

This palette includes a variety of neutrals with a few pops of color for that boho chic or beachy look that you can wear year round, but especially during summer.  The 10 shades are on-trend and easy to wear – named:  Mysterious, Bare, Falling Star, Spirited, Devoted, Shine On, Treasure, Crush, Soul and Luna.  The palette is recyclable and housed in a beautiful box with fun prints that are made with soy ink.

Over a good base or primer, these shadows offer pretty nice staying power – about 7-8 hours easily and the colors can be built up for a bold look if you so choose.  These shadows are Cruelty Free and 100% Vegan – made without animal ingredients like Carmine, Beeswax and Lanolin.  I love the shades and think this palette is a nifty size, perfect for travel.  I wish it included a mirror and the names of the shadows were listed on the palette itself so I knew what to call them, but regardless, I’m quite impressed having not tried any eye shadow palettes from Pacifica before.  Some of the shadows did take a little for me to built up on – but I also have darker / tanned skin so that may have some to do with it.  The Taupe and Bronze shades are my favorite and I find that the dark blue, burgundy and turquoise have the best color payoff when applied wet.  Overall – not bad for the price and I love that it is so easily available at your local Target.

Pure Love - Pacifica Power of Love Eyeshadow Palette and Coco Pure Makeup Removing Wipes

Another product I wanted to discuss today are the Coco Pure Makeup Removing Wipes. Retailing for $6.99 – these coconut milk infused natural towelettes gently cleanse and wipe away makeup, excess oil, dirt and daily pollutants.  These wipes include Jojoba Oil and Ale Vera which make these wipes great for all skin types.  With my sensitive skin, I find that these have a warming sensation when used near my eyes, but they did not burn or cause me any sensitivity issues – which I like.  They did remove my makeup fairly easily, but my waterproof mascara was a little more difficult to take off.  They smell like coconut – hello bonus! And, I love the easy and convenient packaging, which make them a grab when on the go and the packaging is totally cute.  I love how it matches the palette – super fun!

Pure Love - Pacifica Power of Love Eyeshadow Palette and Coco Pure Makeup Removing Wipes

This fun and new collection called The Power of Love was made exclusively for Target Stores Nationwide as a part of the Made to Matter Program.  I have spotted these at my local Target already, so you should be able to find them at your store.  This collection is about the core value:  Compassion.  With compassion (and love), Pacifica takes women, animals and the planet into consideration with every product they create.  The Made to Matter products are handpicked by Target as a part of a collection of leading natural, organic and sustainable brands.  This is an awesome program and I have enjoyed trying these two products from Pacifica.

Have you tried any of these products yet?  Have you spotted them at your local Target store?  I hope you enjoyed this little post and share.  Have a fabulous week!
