I just received my spring test tube. I'm slightly disappointed with this one, because it included only a few things I could actually use. But, I think I've received about 6 test tubes now and this is the first one I've been a little sad about, definitely not enough to make me cancel my subscription. I got the NewBeauty magazine which always promises to be an interesting read, and 3 coupon codes to spalook.com. I also have....
Luxurious Volume Fine to full blow out spray by John Frieda.
A full size is 6.7 oz and retails for about $9.99 you can find it HERE if it interests you. It says, "to get salon quality body without the appointment" "Transforms fine, flat hair into big beautiful locks."
I have hair that rivals a lion's mane. I feel a volume spray is a really horrible idea for me. Plus you have to use heat and I almost never heat style my hair. I'm slightly afraid to try this, just because of the sheer amount of hair I already have on my head. I'm not sure if I'll attempt to try this or not. Stay tuned.
Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser.
A full size is 4 oz and retails for about $32.95, you can find it HERE. This says it's an "Award winning deep cleansing, synthetic free, alphahydroxy complexion rejuvenator brightens and evens tone, smooths lines and wrinkles, and eliminates blemishes and impurities from pores while jump starting collagen production." "Perfect for almost all skin types, natural sugar crystals, powdered rice, and pure foamers" Now the first thing I noticed about this is that all the sugar settled on top and all the liquid settles at the bottom. No amount of shaking would penetrate that sugar crust on top and mix these two back together. I attempted to stir with my finger and it worked ok. I think it'll work better with a toothpick. I also noticed the smell. Mine says lemon grass (which I love) but it smells like straight up lemons in a jar. It's amazing! I love it, it's strong but because it's lemon scented it doesn't seem bad, it also smells like real lemons, instead of a soapy sugary "lemon scent" like so many others have. I'm excited to try this.
(Not pictured) Clear Total care nourishing shampoo and nourishing daily conditioner
A full size shampoo is 12.9 oz and a full size conditioner is 12.7 oz (Ah ha! That's why the conditioner always runs out first eh!?) This says "discover stronger, more beautiful hair in only 7 days with this cleansing duo that starts at the scalp where 99% of hairs natural strength and beauty come from." They retail about $4.99 - $5.99. You can find this at Walmart or online. Check out their facebook for more information HERE. I've mentioned before that I have thick hair and colored hair, so I'm not going to try this. I certainly couldn't make those tiny sample bottles I received last 7 days. They'd be more of a single use for me. My mom is trying this out though so yeah, atleast someone can use it. It smells nice, that's my thought on it.
Paula Dorf Baby eyes enhancer.
The full size of this is .4 oz or 1.1g, just for a comparison a full size Urban Decay eye liner is 1.2g, I'll do a side by side picture of the sample I got and a full size liner for when I do my review. This retails for $20. You can find it HERE if your interested. It says " With this ultranourishing liner, add a touch of radiance to the eyes and lips, accentuating the natural beauty you were born with."
I've never had a nude colored eye pencil before, so I'm excited to try this out. But at the same time I've never been super interested in having a nude colored eye pencil so it'll be different. It also says you can use this as a highlighter so I'll try that out as well.
Phyto Phytodfrisant hair relaxing balm
This full size is 3.3 oz and retails for about $26. you can find it HERE. It says "tame unruly locks and instantly detangle color treated hair with this leave in conditioner (I dont' have this) and chemical free straightening treatment (I have this) which soothe and restore for shiney, sleek strands that last."
I'm on the fence about this. I'm a little weirded out using a "relaxing balm" but I'm also excited thinking of the results if it doesn't jack up my hair in the process. I'm also not excited about the fact that this is also heat activated. I'm just not a heat style kind of person. But I'll try it, maybe.
June Jacobs Papaya purifying enzyme masque
The full size for this is 3.7 oz and retails for $62. You can find it HERE. It says, "Treat your skin to a "supernatural" facial with this anti oxidant rich mask that leaves skin radiant and refreshed with every use." This smells amazing! It's like apricot and papaya had a super delicious smelling baby. When I was young and stupid and went tanning I had this fantastic tanning lotion called Foxy in a velvety bottle (bad idea for tanning lotion honestly) but it smelled exactly like this mask. I'm completely in love with this scent. So I'm super excited to try this as well!
I also got 2 full size Forever Young face wraps
They come in one size and they retail for $5 each. you can find it HERE. It says, "for a spa like treatment that can be had at home, try an ultrahydrating facial wrap that leaves skin looking and feeling refreshed and rejuvenated." It suggests placing in a bowl of warm water or putting it in the fridge for a warm or cool facial.
I like that these are single serving size, and it comes in a sheet that you just place on your face instead of having to deal with the mess of cream masks. This would be fantastic for travel, throw one in your bag and use it before you go to bed, or on a plane, or wherever really.
Stay tuned for reviews of these products and individual photos! I'll have them up in a couple of weeks!
