Goodebox - April 2012

Hello, Beautiful!

Have you heard of Goodebox? It's one of the newer monthly sampling programs on the market and I am pretty impressed with them! They are a little more money than most (as most are about $10 to $12 per month). Goodbox is $16 per month and you get 6 or more products each month. Plus, members also receive exclusive discounts, full size product giveaways, tips and more.

For more information on Goodebox, or to sign-up and start receiving your own Goodebox every month, CLICK HERE. $16 each month.

Josie Maran Bear Naked Wipes

• DESCRIPTION ON INFO CARD: Convenient cleansing with a blend of aloe vera, cucumber, and vitamin E. Free of fragrance, parabens, and petrochemicals, these luxurious, biodegradable wipes are kind to tender skin, leaving it feeling nourished and refreshed!
• MY THOUGHTS: I actually already own a full sized pack of these wipes. They're really gentle and feel good on your skin, but they aren't the greatest at removing makeup. Still, I like them for quick cleaning or refreshing.
• FULL SIZE: 30 wipes @ $12.00
• SIZE I RECEIVED: 8 wipes
• VALUE: $3.20 (although they list the travel size being priced at $6.00)

Alima Pure Luminous Shimmer Powder (Bronzer) in Belize

• DESCRIPTION ON INFO CARD: Looking for a little incandescent pick-me-up? Dust over cheeks, forehead, eyes and shoulders for an ethereal soft-focus look that radiates your inner beauty. It's illuminating. Dust, glow and go.
