First Impressions
1 of 3
While we are closing in on the start of summer, I was pleasantly surprised to receive my Summer 2023 Walmart Beauty Box ahead of schedule! This isn't typical, so I am happy for the welcomed change. While it is officially still spring here in Northern Minnesota, our temps are more similar to that of mid-August, and I am 100% okay with that! What I am hoping for are sunny, shimmery, hydrating items. Will this month deliver? Read below to find out.

This quarter we received a pamphlet detailing the self-care collection offered for summer. With over 16 different options listed, you are guaranteed to receive five great finds. Being a mix of skin care, hair care, and make-up, the choices were rounded out quite well, but just what size items did they send?
Covergirl Clean Fresh Yummy Gloss (Full Size) - Retail Value $7.98
1 of 4
Yippee for a full-sized gloss! This hydrating, deliciously flavored peach gloss is ultra shiny and gives lips a full look. While I love a pigmented lip stick, you really can't go wrong in the hot summer month's with a quick swipe of gloss, and this lightly shaded version is perfect. Large in size and easy to apply, I like the wand and can't get enough of the peach flavor! I would definitely purchase this on my own, and am impressed to receive this full size item that costs more than the entire summer box. And that is only one of our five items! (See below for a photo of me wearing this month's items).
Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Mini Bronzer - Estimated Value $6.99
1 of 4
Bronzer can really alter a look, for good or for bad, depending on the formula and application. Physicians Formula is a brand I am quite familiar with and this bronzer is actually one I have purchased in the past. I appreciate the fact that this is a lighter formula with a subtle shimmer, and it can be built upon, rather than super deep from the get-go. A light dusting on the upper cheek bones, and you are ready to head out the door! While this wasn't actually a full-sized product, it is a mini, which is great for my makeup bag and travel. A perfect inclusion for a summer box, and one that I have already put to use!
Sally Hansen Nail Salon Pro Brush Kit (Full Size)- Retail Value $10.30
1 of 3
Though Pinterest shows off beautiful summer nails featuring glitter, floral designs, and ombre colors, my summer nails encompass dirt. My boys and I sell pumpkins in the fall, and set up a produce trailer at the end of our driveway. That means, we are in the garden daily and my nails really show it. Honestly, I don't paint my nails this time of year because it's a waste, but you can bet I will save this kit for fall when harvest is over! This brush kit contains a glitter + gradient brush, fan brush, and clean-up brush. These tiny brushes are easy to handle and the smallest one actually worked well to apply polish to my teeny tiny pinky toenail! What another great full size inclusion this season!
No7 Restore & Renew Face and Neck Serum (Full Size) - Retail Value $19.29
1 of 3
Another full sized product?! Walmart is knocking it out of the park with this one! I love serums and this No7 Restore & Renew Face and Neck Multi-Action Serum is exactly what I needed for the start of summer. Hydrating, and suitable for sensitive skin, this lightly scented serum goes on smoothly and doesn't leave skin feeling or looking greasy. With decent reviews on the Walmart website, I myself noticed firmer and more supple skin in only a few days of use. At the $19.29 sale price, I was thrilled to receive this in my seasonal box, and love the wonders it has done for my neck skin that sometimes gets forgotten about. Leaving my skin nourished, this was a fantastic inclusion, and one that I have been using daily.
Maybelline The Falsies Surreal Extensions Mascara- Estimated Value $5
1 of 3
I love mascara and am always in the market for a new brand that is cheaper than my ultimate go-to. While I have tried a variety of Maybelline versions in my day, the "Falsies Surreal Extensions" version was new to me, and I was happy to give it a try. With a very "juicy" formula, I loved the big bristled brush and enjoyed the volume it gave my lashes. Without clumping, I was able to achieve close to my usual results at a fraction of the cost. This mascara is not waterproof, so in the shower it came off easily, yet held on throughout the day. While not full size, this was a great size to throw in my makeup case and has lasted me over a week now!

Paired with my garage sale kimono, I utilized the No7 serum, on my face and neck, followed by the Physicians Formula bronzer, Maybelline mascara, and Covergirl lipgloss.
Verdict
With an extra early summer delivery, I have to say, I was shocked to receive the Walmart's Summer Beauty Box on my doorstep so quickly, and filled with such amazing products. The calculated value of this $6.98 box was $49.56, which is over 7 times the cost of the box!!! While the spring box just didn't do it for me, this summer version was perfect. Overall, I will use every product and was so happy to receive multiple full size versions. Hopefully we will be as impressed next quarter!
