New Beauty Test Tube Summer 2012

I must say, this is one of my favorite sampling programs. While it is only quarterly, the products are awesome and you get a ton of stuff to try.

Here is what New Beauty put out in their Summer 2012 Test Tube:

Wowza!! Look at all this stuff!!! All the samples are very nice-sized, and there are even two full-sized samples!!

First, this is a sample of Olay Professional Complexion Renewing Lotion. This is a great brand.

Ahava essential day moisturizer. I've used teeny samples of this brand and I've always liked it so I'm excited to have a much larger sample size to give it a really good trial run.

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer. This is an excellent primer and as it turns out, I just ran out of primer!!! So this is perfect to have received today. :) This little baby will last me for weeks!

It's a 10 miracle leave-in product. This appears to be a leave in conditioner and detangler. I've never heard of the brand but as it turns out...I'm just finishing off the leave-in conditioner I received in the June 2012 Birchbox, so the timing is once again, perfect!!

Jane Iredale Tantasia. On the tube, it says that another moisturizer is not necessary so it appears this is a stand-alone tanning moisturizer. I am excited to try it because I am very pasty!

This is the first of the full-size products. This is a Neutrogena brightening skin perfector. I'm always on the lookout for excellent concealers because I have very dark, genetic under-eye circles. If this is rockin', I'll be sure to let you know!

Lumene Firming Night Cream. This brand sounds a little familiar to me, so I feel like I must have received something from the brand in another test tube.

Lash Food. I think we also got this one in another Test Tube (or at least it was a similar product) and it didn't do anything for me. But, that's not going to stop me from trying this out!!

Instant Effect On-the-Go Wrinkle Reducer. In my very first Test Tube, I got a serum from this company and it was very impressive. So impressive in fact that I couldn't even use it because it made my skin so tight!! I don't have any wrinkles seeing as I'm only 27 so I think I'm going to bring these to my mom when I visit her next month. I think she'll get a kick out of trying them!

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair. Same story with this one. I don't really have any wrinkles so I'll give this away to someone. I like the brand, but I wouldn't be able to give a good review on something that would have a solution to a problem I don't have.

And here's the second full-size product: Mally High Shine Liquid Lipstick. This is a very pretty color. It's a light pink with some gold shimmer. It is perfect for summer! I've never had a lip product with this type of brush and I'm not totally sure I like it. But the color is beautiful!

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!

QVC New Beauty Test Tube

In case you didn't know it, Test Tube actually has TWO versions. This is the QVC version and so far the better version. I am THRILLED  about this box! Everything in it is a great product and I feel like this is a jackpot box!

First in the lineup, we have Peter Thomas Roth gel cream. It is supposed to refresh skin and reduce lines and wrinkles. I love this brand in general so I'm excited to try it!

Next up, Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash. This is meant to be a two in one to cleanse and exfoliate. I've heard great things about the Bliss brand so again, I'm excited!

Philopshy Grace Body Wash. I love this brand! This scent is very light and fresh smelling so I think it's a good one to be able to clean with and then put a totally different perfume on top of it.

St. Tropez Gradual Tanning Lotion. OMG! This is a GREAT brand and if you've seen my YouTube videos, you know that I sorely need this product!

Wen cleansing conditioner. I received this in a previous box from another brand and wasn't too thrilled. Maybe this time I'll use it as a regular conditioner instead of following the instructions exactly. Either way, this is some expensive stuff!

Tarte Lip Surgence in Frisky. I got Amused in a different brand's box and I loved it so I am very happy to have another color!!! This lipstick retails at $24 so this alone pays for the box!

Last but not least we have Stri-Vectin stretch mark reducer. I've tried this stuff before and I don't think it works, but the whole box is amazing!!!

I am so happy with this quarter's QVC New Beauty Test Tube Box!!!

Thanks you for reading and have a beautiful day!

New Beauty Test Tube April 2012

THE MAILMAN CAME!!!

Today, I received the April-June 2012 New Beauty Test Tube. I LOVE this subscription service and wish it was more frequent than quarterly! Oh well! It gives me something to really look forward to.
This quarter's box is awesome and I can't wait for you to see...so without further ado, here we go!

First up, Mally Evercolor Shadow Stick. I'm happy with the color I received. Golden tones are flattering on me. The other colors in boxes were silver or copper.

Next, Neostrate Skin Active exfoliating wash. I've never heard of this company before, but isn't that the whole point of these boxes? :)

Moroccanoil frizz control spray. This is a duplicate from the December 2011 box. It's sad that they duplicated so soon! However, this is a spray that I have really liked so if there's going to be a duplicate, at least it's something I really use! You just spritz this onto your hair after styling and it gives it a nice healthy shine.

Olay regenerist wrinkle complex. I love the Olay brand so I'm always excited to try something from them.

ybf Eye Liner. I've never heard of this brand, but at first swatch, the eyeliner is creamy and highly pigmented. Only time will tell if it's long wearing. The shade I received was purple.

Memoire Liquide Fragrance and Body Cream. This stuff smells delicious!!! It smells like birthday cake. Yummy!

Skinceuticals Serum and Moisturizer.

Perlier & Elariia Body Cream. The one I got is chocolate vanilla scent. Smells great!!!

And lastly, Dr. Brandt bb cream.

I am very excited to try all the products I received this quarter! Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day!
