NEWBEAUTY TESTTUBES Fall 2014

I just realized I had not yet blogged the last 2! NewBeauty TESTTUBEs that most recently arrived. This specific beauty sampling program arrives 6 times a year, focusing on the most recent beauty innovations, product offerings and secrets for usage. Each tube currently runs $29.95 plus shipping and comes with the new beauty magazine that is sent separately. Heres what was included in each of these two TESTTUBEs:

ITSA10 Miracle Leave-in Product

EQUITANCE Brightening Collection

EAU THERMALE AVENE Thermal Spring Water

MIRACLE 10 COSMETICS Aha Gentle Exfoliating Cream

MOLTON BROWN Pink Pepperpod Nourishing Body Lotion

YOUNGBLOOD On The Go lip shine shades

VOTIVO Aromatic Candle

CHI Silk Infusion restructuring complex

DONELL Lip Saver SPF 15

DERMALOGICA Precleanse

KLORANE Make-up Remover Biodegradable Wipes with soothing cornflower

JOHN FREIDA Frizz-Ease Straight Fixation Smoothing Cream

MALLY Evercolor Starlight Waterproof Eyeliner

REVISION SKINCARE Intellishade Broad-Spectrum SPF 45

Its such fun to receive these packages of samples, that always include one full-sized product. I particularly like the makeup samples, like the Mally eyeliner and Youngblood lip glosses in these kits. The lip shines are thick and stay on pretty well. In the packaging they look like they have a bit of sparkle but go on very sheer – colors in this set are: Devotion (burgundy hued), Reflection (pale green) and Fantasy (coral). The Mally eyeliner color is Ice Blue and it is a very pale light blue, I think best used for a brightening color on the inner rim of eyes.

The Revision Skincare Intellishade Broad-Specturm SPF 45 concealer with moisturizer and sunscreen is particularly exciting because it seems to solve a patch of discolored skin I have from too much sun. And, this skincare continues to protect with anti-agining properties. It is tinted and said to “match every skin tone, every time.” Take a look at these products at http://www.intellishadespf45.com.

And, the TestTubes often include products I already use, like the Its A 10 leave-in hair treatment. This stuff is fabulous because it helps me brush through any tangles in my long, just washed hair. I already use it every time I wash my hair, getting a travel sized sample is great.

I haven’t had the chance to try a few of these, but look forward to using the Equitance Brightening Collection that includes: foaming cleanser, toning lotion, serum + spot corrector, hydrating cream, sunscreen and skin radiance dietary supplements (three packets of 6 tablets each – or three days worth), especially.

This sample program is the perfect way to have the chance to try new products before deciding if you want to invest in full-size versions as well as see for yourself it they will work for your needs.
