This is my favorite bag design yet!

Clear and practical, but holographic to keep it fun? Yes, please!

Now, on to the items!

TONYMOLY Master Lab Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Sheet Mask - Value $4

I was traveling this past week, and I packed this mask for hydration post-flight - it was great! I normally take off masks once they hit the minimum time needed, but this time I left it on for all 20 minutes.

Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Honey Mask To Purify & Nourish - 15 ml Value $6.80

This is a purifying mask designed to "draw out deep-dwelling pore-cloggers, impurities and debris." And it works! My skin felt significantly smoother and cleaner after I removed the mask. And it didn't dry my skin out either - impressive!

Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray - 15 ml Value $7.50

This is another product I tested while traveling. It's a lightweight spray that helps set makeup, and in my case, my makeup looked as best as it has ever looked post-Redeye flight, so it get's an A+ from me! (And the spray nozzle allowed me to mist my face instead of soaking it - always appreciated when it comes to setting makeup!)

Lancôme L’Absolu Lip Lacquer - 1.5 ml Value $4.87

This is a lip gloss/lip stain hybrid. You can apply multiple coats to get a full-coverage look, too.

The gloss part wears down pretty quickly, but the stain holds for a while and wears down evenly, too. Here it is swatched:

IT Cosmetics Confidence In An Eye Cream - 5 ml Value $12.67

This is a rich and decadent eye cream. The color is supposed to help color correct and brighten, in addition to the formula reducing the look of puffiness, dark circles, lines, and wrinkles. I personally didn't notice any brightening changes, so I'll stick to using this at night only since it takes a while to absorb.

Juicy Couture Oui Eau de Parfum Spray - 1.5 ml Value $2.50

This is a sweet fragrance with notes of Jasmine Absolute, Wild Tuberose, and Dewy Honeysuckle. It's not for me (I'm not much of a perfume wearer), but I've always loved Juicy Couture perfume bottle design, and this full-size version is another fun one!

Verdict: This box has an estimated value of about $38.34 (not counting the makeup bag.) I think that's a decent value for a $15 beauty box. The makeup bag and $5 coupon definitely help, too. I liked almost all of the products, and sample sizes were good, too.

To Wrap Up:

Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No, right now the site says your first box will be the September box if you sign up today.
