April Beauty Tube Review
I got my April QVC Beauty Tube a couple of days ago and thought I'd share what I got and my opinion on each product, in case anyone is thinking of ordering.....
Cost: $29.96 + 6.97 shipping (shipping a little high, in my opinion, but unavoidable)
What I got:
Tarte Lipsurgence in Adored ($24) (Full-sized): A light, glittery bubblegum pink. At first I was disappointed, but I actually ended up liking the color. I think it'd work best on fair skin. Overall, I'm happy with it. Not a color I'd pick, but that's probably better, as I have a drawer full of lip gloss in nearly identical colors.
Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash ($9) (2 oz): Love this! It has little exfoliating granules. My skin is sensitive and didn't mind it. Will probably purchase a full-size version once this one runs out.
Peter Thomas Roth Laser-Free Regenerator ($34) (.5 oz): This retails for $68 for one ounce, so this is a pretty good sized sample! I haven't tried it yet, but am anxious to.
Strivectin Intensive Concentrate for Stretch Marks and Wrinkles (.5 oz): Again, haven't tried this one, but see it all over. Anyone have any opinions on this one?
Mally Eye Shadow Stick in Twilight ($13) (Full-sized): Another LOVE! This lasts all day and I love this color. It's soft, shimmery and would work on anyone. I'm pleasantly surprised by this one and would buy it again.
St. Tropez Self Tanner (2.5 oz): Haven't tried yet! Will update once I do.
Philosophy Amazing Grace Shower Gel (Travel Size): I always like Philosophy's scents, so I like this and it comes in handy for traveling as it's a shower gel and shampoo in one.
The magazine that comes with it isn't bad! It was actually pretty interesting and I did read it....which I did not think I'd do.
Overall, I'm happy again! This is my second beauty tube, and I feel like I definitely get my money's worth....highly recommend! 
ETA : I forgot, I also got a small bottle of Wen! It's the pomegranate scent and I've only used it as a leave in conditioner but I love the scent and it made my hair very soft.
Re: April Beauty Tube Review
My parents use this and love it. Their skin is very smooth since using it and I think has helped them look less older since the stress they have been under was showing.

I got mine Friday. I thought it was one of the best one's yet. I've gotten either 3 or 4, I can't remember.
I love the Mally shadow stick. I've worn it everyday since I've gotten it. It goes on so smoothly and lasts. Pretty color, too.
I got the Tarte LipLuster in the red color (not sure what it's called). I was hoping for the pink one as I'm not a red lip kind of girl, but I really like it. It's not too bright and I think it's going to be a color I'll wear often. I'm glad I got something to try that was out of my comfort zone.
I love the Bliss facewash. It smells good!
My DS will be using the WEN because he really likes it and I have so much hair that it would only give me about 2 shampoos.
I tried the Strivectin, but it hasn't been long enough to know if I like it or not. I probably won't buy it after the sample is gone because it's really pricey.
I've already tried the St. Tropez mousse, so I'm sure I'll like the gradual tan. Haven't tried it yet.
