Beauty Army Monthly Subscription- New!

Beauty Army is a monthly beauty sample subscription site ($12) similar to Birchbox except for you get to CHOOSE what samples you would like, which is nice for all the people who get tired of samples they don't like or never end up using. The site launched TODAY and only 300 boxes were available, all you had to do is go on the site (which was having some serious technical difficulties) and take a little quiz/profile and it gives you 9 samples to choose from (you pick 6).  I choose the following 6 products.I'd love to know what you picked/got and what your excited to try, let me know in  a comment , or even your initial opinions of the newly launched site.
  1. CELLCEUTICALS
    NEOCELL

    Sample Size: 0.34 oz

    The sample size value came out to $8.08
    A full size is $47.50 at 2 oz

    I am excited to try this out because it volcanic micro-minerals, that just sounds interesting to me.

 The sample size value for this product came out to $4.17 a full size is $20.85 for  a 0.5 fl ozWith these first 2 products your already getting back your $12 not to forget that there is still 4 more samples to discuss!I choose this because it struck me as curious, I have never heard of a product like this so I figured might as well try it out.

Be among the first to try this brand new brightening. Made for all skin types, this will even out skin tone and texture and bring out your natural glow.
Sample Size: 0.25 oz
This product is relatively new and I had to go on the brand site to calculate the sample size value because Beauty Army isn't selling it on their site yet.The sample value is $13.09 a full size product is $89.00 for 1.7oz
 6.JOICOK-PAK REVITALUXE
A luxury hair treatment clinically proven to instantly correct years of damage. Hair becomes automatically stronger, softer, and more moisturized.
Sample Size: 1.7 oz
The sample size value was hard to find as there was varying prices and it is not for sale on Army Beauty but I came up with $3.42 using a hair care site, there was full sized products for sale on amazon also.I choose this because my hair is always so dry and damaged. I'm always looking for repairing treatments and a little always goes a long way with these kinds of products.So totaling everything up this is about $64.76 worth of beauty samples/products for $12. I personally love trying out new things and I like that this way you can choose your products although I enjoy the concept of being surprised like with Birchbox.I'll be sure to try everything out and give my reviews. Not a lot of people were happy with the selection but that is why they made it so you know what your getting yourself into. Check the site out!! http://www.beautyarmy.com/and check back for reviews of the products when they arrive, I'll also being doing my first Birchbox & blissmobox. reviews soonfollow me, bookmark me :)*product descriptions are from site beautyarmy.com
