Spring Beauty Report April 2019 - Box Front

The Beauty Report Box is a limited edition box from New Beauty that is usually released once a quarter. It features some of the favorite brands included in the Spring issue of Beauty Report. If you aren’t familiar, The Beauty Report is a part of the New Beauty Test Tube brand, which MSA readers voted one of the Best Beauty Subscription Boxes of 2019! (This is a single-purchase box and will not start a subscription.)

The Spring 2019 Beauty Report Box Review

Spring Beauty Report April 2019 - Info Card Front

Here is the info sheet for the products included.

Spring Beauty Report April 2019 - Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Solution Front

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Solution, 8.33 oz – Retail Value $9.90

I love micellar waters, and this is a great one. It is nothing fancy, but it cleanses your face without needing water and it doesn’t leave a residue. I like using this in the mornings as a quick cleanse rather than fully washing my face, and it also does a good job of removing sunscreen and light makeup at the end of the day.

Spring Beauty Report April 2019 - Derma E Vitamin C Concentrated Serum Box FrontSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - Derma E Vitamin C Concentrated Serum Box BackSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - Derma E Vitamin C Concentrated Serum Front

Derma E Vitamin C Concentrated Serum, 2 oz – Retail Value $24.50

Once I saw that this vitamin C serum was coming in the box, I pulled out the sample of it I already had and have been using it consistently to give you guys a better idea of how it performs. Before switching to this, I was using the 111Skin Vitamin C Booster that came in my Ipsy Glam Bag Plus, and even though that vitamin C is more than 5 times the cost of the Derma E version, I haven’t noticed any difference in the brightness of my skin (to be fair, I think that says more about 111Skin though). I love how affordable this is, and along with being great for brightening your skin vitamin C is great for fighting sun damage (that is why it is recommended to be worn in the mornings under sunscreen). Since I do not have any dramatic hyperpigmentation issues with my skin, I think this Derma E serum is the perfect vitamin C for my needs in terms of what vitamin C I should use regularly.

GrandeLIPS Hydrating Lip Plumper in HibisKiss, Full-Size! Retail Value $27

I was a little nervous for this lip gloss. The Beauty Report boxes don’t always send wearable GrandeLIPS shades (the brand is a frequent flier in this box). I was pleasantly surprised, though - it provides a light wash of pink color, but it is mostly translucent. I don’t think the pink will show up at all on darker skin tones, but you can definitely still get the lip plumping effects. I find these lip glosses to be effective at doing what they claim to do, but I don’t personally use them because I ALWAYS get a new pimple right on my lip line whenever I try a plumping lip gloss.

Here it is swatched.

Spring Beauty Report April 2019 - Hello Activated Charcoal + Natural Dragon Fruit Whitening Fluoride Free Toothpaste Box FrontSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - Hello Activated Charcoal + Natural Dragon Fruit Whitening Fluoride Free Toothpaste Box BackSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - Hello Activated Charcoal + Natural Dragon Fruit Whitening Fluoride Free Toothpaste Front

Hello Activated Charcoal + Natural Dragon Fruit Whitening Fluoride Free Toothpaste, 4 oz – Retail Value $6.99

The plain minty version of this toothpaste is actually my favorite. It feels weird to have a favorite toothpaste, but this is the best toothpaste I have tried for noticeably whiter teeth. I think it is accurate to call the mint and dragon fruit flavor “minteresting,” but it doesn’t taste bad and it gets the job done on making my mouth feel refreshed.

Spring Beauty Report April 2019 - Hask Biotin Boost Thickening 5-in-1 Leave-In Spray Front

Hask Biotin Boost Thickening 5-in-1 Leave-In Spray, 6 oz – Retail Value $6.49

I have noticed my hair thinning out in some parts of my scalp, so I am all about the thickening! This is made with biotin, collagen, and coffee extract, and it adds a small boost of volume at my roots.

Spring Beauty Report April 2019 - Koh Gen Do Pure Cotton Pads Pauch FrontSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - Koh Gen Do Pure Cotton Pads Side FrontSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - Koh Gen Do Pure Cotton Pads Front

Koh Gen Do Pure Cotton Pads, 10 pads – Estimated Value $2.50 (buy 60 pads for $15)

Fancy cotton pads? Sign me up. I knew these were upper echelon when I saw they were sold at Nordstrom (and this was the only item in the entire box that wasn’t full-size). These are made of 100% pure woven cotton that hasn’t been chemically treated, bleached, or dyed, and they are seriously the plushest cotton pads I have ever seen. They look (and feel!) like a cloud! I love anything that makes me feel even more bougie, and these fit the bill perfectly.

Spring Beauty Report April 2019 - Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Triple Detox Shampoo Box FrontSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Triple Detox Shampoo Box BackSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Triple Detox Shampoo Front

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Triple Detox Shampoo, 5.4 oz – Retail Value $28

I think Living Proof as a whole is a reputable haircare brand, and I am impressed with this shampoo. It is designed to remove buildup from the three main causes (product, pollution, and hard water), and it gives a thorough cleanse of my scalp without making it feel drier - impressive for a detoxing shampoo! I have an especially dry scalp, and I was happy with how gentle and effective this was for me. I have used samples of this before, and I am happy to add the full-size to my arsenal.

Spring Beauty Report April 2019 - Lovely Skin LUXE Brightening Gel Box FrontSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - Lovely Skin LUXE Brightening Gel Box BackSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - Lovely Skin LUXE Brightening Gel Front

Lovely Skin LUXE Brightening Gel, 1 oz – Retail Value $99(!!)

I got some pretty noticeable sun damage under my eyes when I started using retinol and brought it too close to my under eyes, especially since my glasses magnify the sun. Along with switching to an eye cream that has SPF in addition to my regular SPF, I was hoping that this would provide some good results considering the high price tag and rave reviews. This is very concentrated, so the directions say to use this only as a spot treatment as the very last step in your nighttime routine. The very first time I used this I experienced a tingling (not burning) sensation on the spots that I applied it that lasted for about 10 minutes, but the next time I applied it I hardly noticed any tingling at all. My dark spots aren’t completely gone, but I do feel like I have already seen improvement in my skin.

Spring Beauty Report April 2019 - NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash Box FrontSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash Front

NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash, 4.2 oz – Retail Value $40

This came in a previous Beauty Report box, but since it has been a while since I’ve used it I gave it another try. Proper exfoliation is important when using a retinol (which I do), so I was hoping this AHA cleanser would help my skin look its best. I found it too drying for my dry skin for everyday use, and that made sense once I looked at the ingredients list and saw Alcohol Denat listed pretty high up. This is a pass for me, but it may be helpful if you have oily skin.

Spring Beauty Report April 2019 - Ode Natural Skin Care Olive Oil Body Balm in Citrus Oro FrontSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - Ode Natural Skin Care Olive Oil Body Balm in Citrus Oro Open

Ode Natural Skin Care Olive Oil Body Balm in Citrus Oro, 2 oz – Retail Value $20

This body balm is a blend of olive and jojoba oils with beeswax and vitamin E. The texture is thick and luxurious, and I like the way it nourishes thicker skin like my elbows and knees while not being so heavy that I can’t use it on other parts of my body. The scent is a citrus blend of grapefruit, rose, and peppercorn, and I find it to be absolutely delightful.

Spring Beauty Report April 2019 - Purlisse Green Tea + Vitamin C Brightening Sheet Mask Box FrontSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - Purlisse Green Tea + Vitamin C Brightening Sheet Mask Box BackSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - Purlisse Green Tea + Vitamin C Brightening Sheet Mask Front

Purlisse Green Tea + Vitamin C Brightening Sheet Mask, Box of 6 – Retail Value $36

I get a ton of sheet masks for review, but there is still something that makes me feel extra fancy about receiving an entire box of sheet masks - I love it. These sheet masks fit well and were cooling to my skin, which is exactly what I needed after applying the Lovely Skin brightening gel for the first time. I would have worn this mask for longer than 20 minutes, but it didn’t have enough serum.

SiO Beauty SiO Eye & Smile Lift, 4 patches – Retail Value $29.95

These are a frequent item in the Beauty Report boxes, and I just can’t get behind them. For best results, you are supposed to wear them overnight, but with no moisturizer over or under them. I definitely don’t think forgoing my nighttime skin routine will help my skin in the long run, but these definitely don’t stick well if you apply a moisturizer.

Spring Beauty Report April 2019 - Tizo AM Replenish SPF 40 Untinted Box FrontSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - Tizo AM Replenish SPF 40 Untinted Box BackSpring Beauty Report April 2019 - Tizo AM Replenish SPF 40 Untinted Front

Tizo AM Replenish SPF 40 Untinted, 1 oz – Retail Value $41

This moisturizer with SPF is made with 16% zinc oxide, ceramides, and vitamins C and E. I was impressed with how it sank into my skin when I applied it - it wasn’t hard to rub in like some sunscreens, and it left my skin looking smoother and feeling softer (with no white cast). Even though I have about fifty sunscreen options scattered across my apartment, since receiving this one this is the one I have been reaching for every morning.

The Verdict: The Beauty Report boxes always have incredible values, and this one was no exception. I am really loving that 12 of the 13 items were full-sized, and the sample sized item was the fancy cotton pads. My favorites from this box were the Tizo sunscreen, Living Proof shampoo, and the Lovely Skin brightening gel, and I calculated a total value of $371.33. That is insane for the $40 box cost!

To Wrap Up:

Can you get this box if you sign up today? No, this box sold out pretty quickly!

I am a staunch believer that pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza and when I’m not working as a family law attorney I enjoy hiking the Louisiana trails (alligator sightings are a favorite!) or relaxing with Duchess, my cat. I’m a sucker for anything labeled a mystery box and I’ve never met a bath bomb I didn’t like.

How can I get on a list to know about future boxes?

How can I know about these boxes BEFORE they sell out? I work midnights and miss out on so much!
I am also looking for a box that comes out every quarter with all full size products, runs $49.95 and was sponsored by one of the magazines, like Allure (before they had the monethly boxes), Redbook or something like that. It wasn’t just beauty items, it was household also.

Thanks, Jessica! I have this box plus ordered the Stop the Clock and Sleep boxes on Amazon. I want to try out the two different magnesium supplements before buying a full size.

Did that brightening serum burn anyone else’s face like it did for me 😕 I really wanted to like it too. I’ve never had a reaction to a product before & hopefully it doesn’t continue with other products now.

But I love this box exp the tizo

I LOOOVE this box!!! Mine was missing the Grande Lips – so I had to contact CS to get them to ship a replacement. It was a bit of a hassle, and a disappointment, but can’t complain.

My faves from the box: the Hask hair leave in, the ODE balm (I seriously haven’t ever tried anything like it!!! It’s got oily or sticky like most balms… hard to explain! And delicious citrus scent!), and the Neostrata face wash.

Excellent value!

I love everything in this box, and customer service was very quick to respond to my request to skip May’s Test Tube, since I am on product overload. 🙂

I went ahead and pulled the trigger because I liked the toothpaste from an earlier TestTube and my hair likes Hask products. I was also intrigued by the brightening gel and sunscreen and now I’m glad I did. Other than the Bioderma, I’ll use all these products.

Just to clarify is the Tizo the full size 1.75oz (rv $41) or is it a “travel size” 1.0 oz?

Reply ButtonReply

Kristin

I had the same question, but on the website it looks like the full size tinted is 1.7 oz and $48 and the untinted full size is 1.0 oz and $41. That said, this is full size and it is my favorite item in the box.

This was a great box. Love so many items in this box. Just a heads up on the charcoal toothpaste, use with a regular toothbrush. I used my electric on and mad a mess, there was black dots everywhere. Lol

Hey ladies! I like the Tizo but find it isn’t layering under makeup as well as I’d hoped. Any tips?

That Tizo is AMAZING! The texture feels like a high end primer. I love it! Also makes me wish I’d purchased a second box. 😬

Hi Ladies!
I too am a lover of the Tizo sunscreen! Check out the new beauty boxes sold on amazon– they’re $25, and the Jet Set box contains the same full-size Tizo minus the box! My review of those boxes are coming soon. 🙂

I really like this box. A few items I gave away immediately, the rest I am enjoying trying out. The USPS took their time getting it to me, but it was worth the wait, definitely!! Thanks to New Beauty! Jessica, I love you breakdown of what we actually paid for each item, what a great deal this is!!! Even better than I thought.

I’ve been very picky lately when it comes to skincare I guess so whenever I get a no. It has to have half skincare that I’ve never used or something I’m dying to try. Unfortunately this box was a miss for me so it saved me this time. Hope their next box will be a whole lot better skincare wise
