April Beauty Sage Editors' Sample Box Review

I noticed a too-good-to-be-true offer on another blog regarding $15 for $75 worth of goods from BeautySage, so I signed up, sight unseen (which is how I prefer it, anyway).  Here's what I got:


Bioxidea Miracle 24 Face - This is supposed to be an amazing, almost instant (24 hours), highly effective facial for wrinkles, brightening, and tightening.  I have to be honest here, I tried it, expecting to be disappointed to some degree.  I thought I would wake up with moister skin, maybe softer and a little tighter, but I really wasn't expecting any miracles.  It did make my skin a bit softer, but the unfortunate thing is that it made me break out really badly, and with those horrible underground, painful blemishes no less. Did anyone else have this issue?  I hope not.  It's probably just some allergy on my part.

Kneipp Arnica Joint & Muscle Mineral Bath Salts - I haven't tried this yet, but I've heard wonderful things about arnica!  Looking forward to trying this.


My apologies once again for my horrific photography skills!

Illume Anemone Sketchbook Ceramic Candle - This is actually burning in my office as I write this, and it's a very nice combination of scents.  Very subtle, not overwhelming, and pleasant.  Although I do have to wonder how anyone would know what anemone smells like.  ;)

ClariSEA Instant Glow Powder Exfoliant - This is salt, y'all.  I tried it, and it works great!  My skin was smooth and looked healthy.  I'm halfway tempted to rub some table salt on my face and see how it compares.  Note:  Make sure you keep your mouth closed when you try this stuff, unless you want your blood pressure to skyrocket!

LaRocca Firming Eye Cream - I haven't had the chance to try this one yet, but it supposedly has 24K gold in it.  That's crazy! Maybe I should smelt out the gold so I can buy more boxes!  No, but SRSLY my eyes are looking super tired these days and I'm looking forward to trying this as well.

Sweet Delights Divalicious Sample Box Review

Did you ever wake up one morning and think, "I wish I smelled more Canadian"?  I guess I must have because I recently ordered a Divalicious Sample Box from Sweet Delights.  I'm so glad I did!  The cost was about $33 including shipping to the US.  The box came in yesterday and...

Holy smokes! Look at all this stuff!


Yeah I know that's a terrible picture and you can't tell what all it is, but look at all of it!  


 
Emma's Blush by Sappho Organics
Mineral Lip Color by Key Botanicals in Romance - both are great colors!


A pink grapefruit soap sample
A wickless candle by Scentsy that smells amazing, like pumpkin spice


Rock in Green Eco laundry detergent
Just a Drop Personal Odor Eliminator in Eycalyptus


Skiin Instant Skin Tightener & Line Filler AND Soothing &Smoothing Eye Cream


 Sweet earrings and cute little bee token by Pine Branch Designs


Solid Bora Bora Lotion by Apricot Hills
Rodan + Fields Dermatologists Redefine Night Renewing Serum and Redefine Lip Renewing Serum capsules


Polka Goat Farm Goat Milk Soap in Egyptian Jasmine
Presque Isle Soap Company Apple Pie Handcrafted Soap - smells like the real thing!


Meow's the Time Cuticle Balm in Lemon
Seven Balm Lip Balm


Facial Cleansing Lotion by Terrah Essentials
Cupcake Soap! By Pure Natural Luxuries - my kids were instantly wanting to use this, and it smells amazing



Scential Wellness Vegan Hand Cleanser in Lime
Kootenay Bath Products Shower Gel in Champagne

OMG!  This is so much awesome stuff!  I'm not one of those people who really has the time to go look up the precise retail values of each thing, but I know the value of this stuff is way, way more than the $33 I paid.  The earrings alone would be $30 on JewelMint.  The three soaps alone would have to be at least $30.  And this is all stuff I will use!  This box was definitely an EPIC WIN!
