New Beauty Test Tube March 2014

The New Beauty Test Tube is back, and has redeemed itself (to me) for January's lackluster box!

For whatever reason, the picture I took of the tube itself has just disappeared! Gah. So I'll just get right into it...


It's A 10 Miracle Lite

It's A 10 Miracle Leave-In Lite (2 fl oz - Full Size is 4 fl oz)
Designed with fine hair in mind, this lightweight, leave-in conditioner helps repair, restore, and revive frizzy, tangled locks without weighing them down.
How To Use: After washing, towel-dry hair and spray product all over. Massage by hand or comb through with a wide-tooth comb.
Benefits Include: Natural Healing: The regenerating blend of natural botanical extracts plus hydrolyzed rice protein and silk delivers antioxidants and nutrients that help strengthen and revitalize damaged strands; and Ultimate Protection: In addition to protecting against heat damage and preventing colored hair from fading, this multitasking spray boosts volume, enhances shine, and detangles, all without the heavy buildup.
Will I Use It?: I absolutely will use it, and have been, and I LOVE it! Previously, I had only ever used it at my hair salon- the lady that cuts my hair uses the regular one on me since my hair is so fine and tangly, but I never purchased it. Now, I can't see myself being without it! Expect a complete review soon!


glamglow youthmud tinglexoliate treatment

Glamglow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment (0.5 fl oz - Full Size is 1.7 fl oz)
This professional-quality mud mask for men and women leaves skin noticeably tighter, softer, and more radiant in just 10 minutes.
How To Use: Apply a layer to clean skin. The mask will tingle as it tightens and brightens skin. Leave on for five to 10 minutes and rinse off with water, using circular motions to deepen exfoliation. Use once or twice a week.
Benefits Include: Natural Smoother: This unique formula works to activate the skin's collagen synthesis to naturally moisturize your skin; and Protective Formula: This restorative mask absorbs impurities without removing the natural oils essential to the skin.
Will I Use It?: I've been interested in trying out a glamglow mask for awhile, especially because my sis-in-law just got one and raved about it. I haven't tried it yet, but I definitely will be soon, and once I do, I will do a review!


philosophy hope in a jar

philosophy hope in a jar (0.4 oz - Full Size is 2 oz)
Finding the solution for your dull, dry skin may feel hopeless. But with a little faith in this high-performance daily moisturizer, you can achieve the healthy-looking, beautiful skin you've always hoped for.
How To Use: Following your usual cleansing routine, apply to clean, dry skin morning and night. Product will absorb instantly. Avoid contact with your eye area and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Benefits Include: The Bright Side: With it's lightweight, souffle texture, this multitasking moisturizer boosts hydration for smoother skin and gently exfoliates for a glowing, more even complexion; and Without Doubt: The unique antioxidant blend helps protect against environmental attacks and helps improve skin's natural resilience to reveal healthier, more radiant skin.
Will I Use It?: I wasn't super impressed with the Hope in a Jar night I received in my QVC New Beauty Test Tube for Summer 2013, but I hear good things about the regular. We'll see!

I only pay $29.99 plus tax, and these blushes are $26.00. So, thank you New Beauty, because this basically paid for my box.

Bioxidea Miracle 48 Excellence Diamond & Gold (1.05 fl oz or 1 mask - Full Size is 3 pack)This gentle, exfoliating and brightening mask combats the visible signs of aging and leaves skin feeling soft and polished.

Will I Use It?: I'm a little nervous to use this, I'll be honest. I don't want to like a product that costs so much! But, on the other hand, I GET to try a product that costs so much. So I'm going to try it soon, and I will let you guys know my thoughts on it.


grandelash-md grande mascara

Grandelash-MD Grande Mascara (No clue what size this is - Full Size is 0.4 fl oz)
An eyelash essential, this mascara features an exclusive peptide formula to promote longer, thicker, and more dramatic lashes.
How To Use: Sweep mascara from lash base to tips. Apply multiple coats for volume. Remove with makeup remover or soap and water.

Will I Use It?: I have been using this mascara, and I'm not super impressed. I mean, it's okay, but it's not amazing or anything. It's nothing to keep writing about. I'll keep using it until the sample dries up.


simple facial wipes

Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes (7 wipes - Full Size is 25 wipes)
Stop rubbing and scrubbing with harsh chemicals that irritate skin, and try something simpler. These ultrasensitive cleansing wipes effectively wash away impurities without upsetting delicate facial skin.
How To Use: Lift seal and remove wipe. Gently wipe over eyelids, face, and neck. Reseal pack to keep wipes moist. Avoid direct contact with eyes.

Will I Use It?: I have used a couple of these so far, and I really, really like them! They're not irritating at all, and I feel like they get most of my makeup off. They're also not super moist, which I really like as well. Funny enough, I purchased a pack of these when I ran out of my other makeup wipes, but hadn't used them yet, so I'll get to use a full pack as well to do a complete review later.

Will I Use It: I've used this a couple of times, and I like it. It makes my bare minerals go on super smooth, and does even out some tonal problems I have. It also helped keep my makeup on longer. I'll do a full review a little later, but my initial impressions are good!


Now for what was in my beauty-to-go bag...

sukiface exfoliate foaming cleanser

This Exfoliating cleanser from Sukiface is awesome! I've used it twice and I really like the results. It also smells like lemonheads. 

phytomist instant hydrating conditioner

I haven't used this yet, but it's a conditioning mist from Phyto. I don't really want to use this on a day I care too much about what's going on with my hair, so I might try it out Saturday, when I'm just going to a morning movie (Divergent!), and then I can just throw my hair in a messy bun and shower when I get home if I don't like what happens. I'll report back later!

philosophy full of promise

Another philosophy product, this one is Full of Promise. I think this is geared towards an aging skin type, so I might pass this off to my mom. 

radial stemcell super-food facial oil

Another Radial pack to get one to two uses out of... joy. I wish I could just have a bigger sample of this because I did like it the last time they sent this to me.



So I am EXTREMELY happy with this box! I received two full sized products, both of which had either the value or over of the box. And everything in it I have used or am going to at least try, except a moisturizer that is considered an extra anway. New Beauty really hit it out of the park with this box!
I'm definitely going to be keeping this subscription through May!
