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 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 8 days to arrive to me. It seems like a lot consider if only came from Kentucky, but that’s kind of what I expect with DHL so I don’t anticipate anything to arrive quickly. If it does it’s just a bonus!
Beauty Box 5 had released a spoiler for this month’s box so I knew about one of the items I could see in the first look and the other looked pretty fabulous!
The July 2014 Beauty Box 5 theme was “Defining Moments” and included items to help you celebrate the events that made you the amazing women you are. Here is what was inside:
~Revlon Bold Lacquer Mascara ($7.99): Ahh, this mascara (just like that pur~lisse) is everywhere! It’s the 3rd or 4th on of these mascaras I have received in the past month or so. It’s not that I don’t like it, because I do, but I don’t need three tubes of it. I will likely end up gifting it to a friend.
~HASK Argan Oil Intense Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment ($2.49): This packet actually has two uses in it, but I am pretty sure I will only get one use out of it. I just can’t ever seen to properly save packets like this in the shower. They end up leaking, spilling or getting water inside. Any tips??
~Body Drench Candy Licious Lips (Grape Lollipop) ($3.99): Love it! It smells amazing, works well and I am a lip balm addict so what’s not to love? I see that they also offer Cotton Candy and Red Licorice flavors which I feel like I must try now as well.
~Anna Naturals Glowing Mama Walnut Face & Body Scrub (~$2): I thought this was okay. Not amazing, but not awful either. It’s a vegan scrub and it smells daily good, but I just wasn’t overly excited.
~Starlooks Lip Liner (Tickle Me Pink) ($12): Before I started getting subscription boxes I don’t think I realized that people still wore lip liner. I’m sure I had seen it at Sephora or whatever, but I never paid attention to it. Anyway, I am going to watch some tutorials and see what I am missing out on!
All totaled I came up with a value of $28.47 for the July 2014 Beauty Box 5. As usual it was well over the $12 cost of the box and WAY more than the $7 or so I pay for it! Even if I only use the mask and lip balm that gets me to what I paid for the box right away! And really, had I not already received that mascara from other boxes I would have been excited for it. It’s not BB5’s fault I get a bunch of other boxes!
