Beauty Box 5
Cost: $12/month.
Ships To: The lower 48 United States and Canada via the Postal Service.
My June 2014 Beauty Box 5 was one of a handful of boxes that arrived today. If you aren’t familiar with them, they are 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 while back when they had a crazy deal that brought the cost of an annual subscription down to $6.58/month.
Beauty Box 5 ships via DHL Global Mail and took under a week to arrive.
I hadn’t gotten a chance to check into any spoilers for this month so the first look was a complete surprise. I was happy with what I saw though!
The June 2014 Beauty Box 5 focused on the following iconic (and easy) hot weather basics:
~Nicka K New York Nail Color ($4.99): I have tried this brand before and like it well enough. Plus it’s nail polish and I need more nail polish ;).
~Organix Coconut Water Shampoo & Conditioner (~$2): I haven’t gotten a chance to try this yet, but I generally like coconut hair stuff. Plus, it’s a brand new product for me to sample.
~Glam Natural Mascara (~$7): This mascara is designed for those who have sensitive eyes which I appreciate. I rub my eyes a lot (bad habit) and always always get mascara in my eyes and they get irritated. So far so good with this.
~Eslor Introductory Collection Calming Kit ($15.43): I have received these in a few boxes here and there and have liked it. Not loved it, but liked it enough to use it again.
~Vita Bath Body Wash ($1.33): This is the least expensive item in the box, yet it’s totally my favorite. It smells amazing and I will probably end up buying the full size of this one!
All totaled I came up with a value of $30.75 for the June 2014 Beauty Box 5. This was probably one of my more recent favorites from them thanks to the body wash and the nail polish. For the $6 something I pay for this box every month, I feel like it’s well worth it!

I got the same mascara, Eslor samples, and nail polish, along with:
-Design Essentials Natural Curling Enhancing Mousse (curious to try because I have wavy hair)
-A really nice synthetic blending brush, which I could use.
Definitely better than last month, though I wish I’d gotten the other shade of nail polish that I saw in the spoiler (I forget what it was, just remember that it was more summery).
I need to go find what that other shade was!
The other shade is a pale purple — that’s the one I got. I wanted the color you got! But, I did get the cherry scent of the bath wash which I like! It’s so much fun to be subscribed to BB5 again.
Oh I think I would prefer the red them too!
The coconut shampoo is wonderful! I bought it on special at Meijer and really wish I had purchased more. Good luck! =]
I will be on the lookout for a sale!
this looks like a REALLY good box for 6 dollars !!
I am glad I got that deal when they had it!
I got the exact same things as you in my box this month I think I would’ve actually preferred the lavender/pale purple color nail polish though! This month was definitely better than last month though!
Glad you had better luck with this company! My experience was terrible. I got a gift code from a friend, but didn’t think the box was worth $12 so I emailed them July 3 to cancel. They charged my credit card anyway weeks later and after multiple emails, they are refusing to refund the charge even though it hasn’t been shipped yet and I told them I would be returning it. I’ve never dealt with a more difficult company!
