Hola Chicas! So here's the thing. I've become a huge beauty box sample junkie! I think I'm signed up to almost everything that is available in the US, except for Birchbox and that's a whole different story. I first heard of Beauty Army from Krystal and Amber. After reading all the information I was like why not what do I have to lose?
"Beauty Army is a luxury beauty sample subscription service that allows you to select up to six luxury beauty samples each month from a selection of 9 for $12 a month with free shipping. You take a a profile quiz and then you get to choose your own samples based on results of your quiz."
Did you hear that??? YOU get to pick your samples! There is no "I hope I get a good box this month". You choose what you want. I thought that was super awesome! So far so good right? Let me show you what I got in my January box.
It comes shipped in a plain white box that has BeautyARMY all around.
Ok this box is freaking AMAZING!! Yes I'm getting excited over a box! It comes in a rock solid black box and the inside is adorable. This is 10x better than Birchbox no doubt! It has a flip up top so there's no hassle having to open it. It comes with a welcome card.
When you open it all the products are wrapped up individually in pink tissue paper. My battery had died after the first two pictures and I had to wait, but I couldn't wait so I opened them all!
Mama Mio
Boob Tube
3.4 fl oz - $45.00
"Aim North, not South! What women really love about Boob Tube is that the quality of their skin changes so quickly. Within a week, you will notice that the skin on your neck, your chest and your boobs looks firmer, fitter, glowing, more dewy and youthful. Daily use will maintain this beautiful skin and over the years you will be so pleased you took the time to befriend your bust.No crinkles or droop for you – no turtle necks or even turkey necks! You are so wise to daily dose with Boob Tube, feel free to thank us in 20 years."
Lord knows that as you get older you need this bad boy! Especially for those who do have a good amount of boobies on top. I received a 1.7 oz tube to sample and I really like this alot. I've used it for about two weeks now and my boobs do seem a bit smoother. I can't say firm because it's not like I'm big on top; however, I'm not sure if I would spend $45.00.
LaRocca Skincare
Lip Shield
0.27 fl oz - $16.00
"Defend against germs with LaRocca Skincare's Multi-Active Natural Lip Balm is the ultimate in lip treatments. This balm, made with Hyaluronic Acid and Camu Camu, is specifically formulated to deeply moisturize and nourish the skin while helping in protecting against germs and bacteria. Mangosteen Extract and Brazilian Cha de Burge provide anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. Sea Buckthorn provides essential omega fatty acids, vitamins and minerals while amino acids aid in the process of collagen formation for softer, healthier lips."
I received this lip shield in Zinfadel and it's full size too! That was awesome. I haven't put this to use yet and I can't give you my opinion on it, but I will soon and maybe do a review on this.

Indie Lee
The Body Scrub
12 fl oz - $38.00
"Indie formulated this all natural scrub, to deliver a daily dose of pampered, sexy skin. The essential oils create a calming, light, lemon scent to start or end your day."
This stuff is AH-MAZING! I received a 1.6 oz sample size and started to use this right away. It makes your skin feel soooooo soft and smooth! I would definitely pay the $38.00 bucks for this scrub. The scent is very soft and not overpowering. A little goes a long with this scrub.

MyFace Cosmetics
Bligntone Eyeshadow (PH)
$20.00
"The icy, iconic blingtone collection from myface cosmetics is the new Hollywood obsession and boasts a break-thru formula packed with crushed pearl, not gaudy, garish glitter. This precious jewel and metallic coloured shadow is the perfect blend of pearl and pigment. Create a wicked wash of colour and dramatic, wet-looking shine. Blingtone eyeshadows glide smoothly on to the eye, and won’t drop or flake."
I received a full size in Purple Haze. I haven't used this eyeshadow as of yet. I honestly have forgotten about it. I will do a review on this one for sure.

SunFX
Body Wash
270 ml - $12.95
"A light, foaming, non-abrasive body wash perfect for maintaining your SunFX spray tan. The body wash combines Aloe, Chamomile and Vitamin E extracts. Relax and enjoy the subtle fragrances designed to stimulate and revitalize your spirits."
I received a 2.2 oz sample. I was half and half on this body wash. I've used it all up already. The scent is soft and not over powering; however, I wish it would foam up more. I felt like I had to put tons on my sponge in order for it to foam up. I personally love to see my sponge all foaming and full of bubbles. It makes me feel like the body wash is doing its job and cleaning my body. I personally wouldn't purchase this.
All in all I really love Beauty Army and will continue my subscription each month. Shipping was a bit slow but you do get a tracking number so your able to track your package.
I haven't made my selection yet for the month of February because I signed up around the end of January and from what I understand you choose your new sample each month on the day you signed up. I recommend this to anyone who hasn't tried it. It's better than Birchbox because you know whats in your box and there's no let downs when you open it. I received two full size items and the rest of the items were "deluxe" samples and well worth it for $12 bucks!
Did you get a box? If so, what did you pick out?
Till Next Time.....Stay Beautiful

Yay! You joined the beauty revolution. Haha. I for the same body wash as you on my January kit. I haven't used it yet. I wanted that Larocca lip gloss so bad but I didn't get it. I did get a Blingtone shadow too but in a bronze color. Very pretty. I am waiting on my February box which should be here soon. Shipping is slow. My only complaint with them. Good stuff. Have fun using your other samples!
great stuff
I think I'm going to try this. I just heard about the army box. I am a birchbox subscriber but my box this month was not good!
Thank you,
Natalie
I really like that you can choose your samples! Maybe I need that boob cream, ha ha!
Very interesting that you get to choose your samples..would love to hear what some of your other options were.
@Lisa - Yes I did! LOL I mean who doesn't want to pick out a few things and for only $12 bucks why not.
@Jessica - Thanks Babe!
@JazzyO - I had to give up on Birchbox. I saw that they only gave a few people the Beautyblender and they should of given something that great to all the customers. This one is awesome. Try it out you never know it may be your favorite =)
@Robyn - LOL @ Boob Cream! Wish I had a reason to use it lol since im pretty small up there lol.
@TracyD - Hey Babe! I honestly was amazed at that option. For Feb. I'll take a screen shot of all the products I got to choose from so you can see how many options they give you =)
wow i cant believe they let you choose what you want!!
The Ugly Moments
This is the first time I've heard of Beauty Army, looks great!
Hi Regina! You should check it out and see if this is a monthly box you would like to get =) I love it!
Some of your picks are nice and unique...good to try new products and also use them from testers to see whether they ultimately suit your need.
Thanks! I really like most monthly sub boxes. I prefer to try out a product especially high end before paying tons of money!
i want 2 try this
Chilaaaaa! I *just* signed up for Birchbox two months ago because of you (been meaning to try it), and now I want to sign up for BeautyArmy, too! Grrl, you are going to get me addicted to sample boxes.
I don't know how I have been missing so many of your posts :(
Love reading about what you are trying and liking!
@Kathy - Whooooo Whoo!! LOL That's awesome! I'm telling you I'm a sample box junkie!
@Mrs. Makeup - It's happens no worries chica! That happens to me too =)
