Beauty Box 5
Cost: $12/month.
Ships To: The lower 48 United States and Canada via the Postal Service.
Beauty Box 5 is a monthly subscription service that delivers a sample box of all things beauty. Each box contains 4 – 5 samples of a variety of makeup, skin care, fragrances and everything in between! Boxes are $12/month if you do a month-to-month subscription, however, I subscribed a few months ago when they had an insane deal that brought the cost of an annual subscription down to $6.58/month. How could I resist?
Beauty Box 5 ships via DHL Global Mail. It starts out in DHL’s hands and is then delivered by USPS. I got my shipping e-mail yesterday and the box arrived today, but I am not 100% sure how long it took to get here since they don’t send tracking along with the e-mail.
I am always surprised at how small the Beauty Box 5 boxes are and how much stuff they pack in them!
The April 2014 Beauty Box 5 focused on looks that call for a little leisurely layering which allow you to enjoy your mornings and take a little more time for yourself. Here is what was included:
~BH Cosmetics California Collection Eyeshadow Palette (~$3): I actually received this came palette back in an ipsy over the summer, so I am going to try to trade this one. I do really like the colors though and think it’s a great travel sized palette!
~Nicka K New York Hydro Lipstick ($4.99): I am more into lipgloss than lipstick, so my SIL gets all the lipsticks I get. I haven’t gotten a ton lately, so I was very happy to see this! She’s going to love it!
~Blum Naturals All Purpose Cleansing Wipes ($2.49): OMG how cute is this mini wipe container? You can use them to remove eye makeup or correct minor cosmetics mistakes. Or anything else. Love!!!!!!
~Jergens Natural Glow – 3 Days to Glow Moisturizer (~$2): I have actually been eyeing this at CVS and was SO excited to see it in here. I will totally be reporting back on how this one works. Just as soon as I scrub all this winter skin off!
~Bonne Bell Lip Definer ($2): I don’t use lip liner on a regular basis, so I will either pass this on to my SIL or use it will clear lipgloss like they recommend!
All totaled I came up with a value of $14.48 for the April 2014 Beauty Box 5. It’s not as valuable as some of the BB5 boxes I have received, but for the price I paid I am happy!!

its an AWESOME site with tons of things, ever ordered anything from them? they function on referral system, the more friends use your code, the bigger discount on their items you get 🙂
I have never heard of them??
I did last summer 🙂 its a very cool site with nice prices, specially for us from other countries but maybe you find something too, tons of nice serums and creams for 30+ folks, vitamins,supplements etc
I got exactly what you did except my wipes were in citrus scent. And I loved the size of these – can just toss in my purse!
How do they smell?
its supposed to be grapefruity – but its that weird citrus scent… hard to describe.
Your lip liner looks so much nicer than the one I got. I’m actually pretty sure mine was used before! The cap was yellowed/stained/opened and it was def used by someone for something.
Did you e-mail??
Same thing happened to my lip liner. There was a horrible pungent smell coming from the cap and the top of the pencil was just rotten — I had to toss it out. I didn’t even bother emailing BB5 because I didn’t like the lip liner to begin with. The only thing I liked about this month’s box was the lipstick and the Blum wipes. I have a quarterly subscription so if the next 2 boxes are a miss I’m cancelling.
I got a Beauty Army sub and they had the BH eyeshadow also, in the same exact colors! http://wp.me/p4lGPl-6P
They are everywhere!
I totally thought LIPSTICK before I read your comment about giving it to your lipstick loving SIL 🙂
LOL!!!
