WalMart makes it so easy for you to browse around their online beauty department, select with ease all your favorite beauty products and for only 97 cents have your purchases shipped directly to your home. The shipping cost is less than a gallon of gas, and for me that alone is worth the cost of trying out Walmart's online Beauty Department!

WalMart.com Beauty department hand picked 7 of their favorite beauty items from the wide range of products that they offer online. Let me give you a brief review of each of them:

MY REVIEW

Features:

Directions:

Directions: Massage A Small Amount In An Upward Circular Motion, Focusing On Areas Like The Brow & Jaw Line, Which Need The Most Support Use Morning & Night As W/ All Facial Skin Care Products, Avoid Getting Into Your Eyes If Contact Occurs, Rinse W/ The Water

MY THOUGHTS: I've been using this product for almost a week now. My skin loves it! I haven't been using it long enough to notice any visible reduction in aging, but I can say that I love the texture and consistency of it, it is rich and creamy, but is not too heavy or greasy feeling on my skin. My skin is absorbing it right away and it feels great once it has all sinked in. I can't wait to see over time how my skin will look and so far so good!


Cover Girl Continuous Lip Color in Rose Quartz

Cover Girl Continuous Color Lipstick Gives two Benefits In 1 Hour of Wear Plus Moisture Care With Over 50% Emollients, Including Vitamin E and Vitamin A.

MY THOUGHTS: I have always been a girl who loves pink frosty lipstick. There is something very soft and feminine about this color and it works with the subtle, natural makeup look I like to wear. The lipstick is moist and glides on easily. It last about an hour or so before I have to reapply a new application. I like that it lasts a while and doesn't slide off of my lips, it stays in place!!


Cover Girl Lashblast Volume Blasting Mascara in Very Black

- Volume blasting mascara
- Big brush
- Defines lashes

MY THOUGHTS: An absolutely perfect mascara! I have been using different Cover Girl mascara's over the years, I have tried probably most of the different versions they have ever come out with. This is another classic mascara that delivers on giving you the longest, thickest, most eye popping eyelashes without clumping and it is so easy to remove at the end of the day. Love it

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers Trio in Shimmering Sands

MY THOUGHTS: I prefer to wear neutral shades of eyeshadows so this trio of colors is perfect for me. I like the light, medium and darker shade options because you can apply them according to how dramatic you want your eyes to look. The shimmer in them is slight, so they look pretty by day but also a touch glamorous for evening wear. I like the versatility that this set provides and the powders glide on smoothly.

Crest Advanced Seal White Strips

MY THOUGHTS: I am a coffee fanatic so my teeth are desperately in need of some whitening. I have only been using these strips for a little less than a week, but I do think in this short period of time I am seeing the start of my teeth looking whiter. I need to constantly remind myself to use them, I haven't gotten into the groove yet to make sure I stick with the routine long enough to really give them a chance to work. I am anxious to see in another week the difference from today until then. It will be great to smile a brighter, whiter smile!

Gilette Venus Embrace Razor

- 1 Razor
- Dramatically Smooth Skin
- Love It! Or Your Money Back
- 5 Blades With Ribbon of Moisture

MY THOUGHTS: I am a stickler for making sure I am pretty much hairless on my legs. I am not one of those gals who doesn't shave their legs just because I am not wearing shorts in the winter. Nope, I like a nice, sleek, smooth set of legs and this razor is an absolute joy to use to keep them that way. What can I say, it delivers on all that I expect it to do and more because it adds moisture to my legs as I use it! You will come to rely on this razor too!

Secret Clinical Strength Sport Marathon Antiperspirant/Deodorant Value Size, 2.6 oz

- Clinical strength
- Prescription-strength wetness protection
- Apply at night

MY THOUGHTS: I was already using Secret Clinical deodorant before I received this one from WalMart Beauty. I am a gal who sweats under the arms. I swear the day I heard about this product I couldn't get to the store fast enough to purchase it. I cannot tell you the number of tops I have ruined from my over sweating problem, and more important, the embarrassing moments I can remember enduring because of visible sweat showing on my shirts. This product is amazing, and it truly does work. I apply it at night, and even after I shower in the morning. It not only cut down on my sweat, I no longer sweat at all under my arms, I mean no more wet under there! It is a miracle product you will want to use, especially if you have had issues like me in the past.
