Wow! I cannot believe how early I got my August 2014 Beauty Box 5 this month! I couldn’t believe when it appeared in my mailbox on Saturday!
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.
BeautyBox 5 ships via DHL and took only four days to arrive. I was totally shocked it arrived so quickly. Totally shocked!
This is probably the best Beauty Box 5 first look ever! The sizes were nice and big and saw lots of pops of color.
The August 2014 Beauty Box 5 theme was “radiant and remarkable” and included the following items to help you carry your carefree attitude into fall:
~pur~lisse Pur~protect SPF30 ($16.18): I can honestly say that I will never ever have to buy another one of these ever. This is probably the 10th sample of this I have received. They are everywhere this summer.
~La Fresh Travel Lite Makeup Remover Wipes ($2.49): I am a big fan of the La Fresh line and on the rare occasion that I wear a lot of makeup (enough that I need more than just cleanser to remove it), these are great.
~Nanaacoco Lip Gloss (Mysterious) ($4): I can’t believe that this is only $4! For that price I wouldn’t mind a few more. The color is quite pink in the container, but it’s not as shocking when you put it on. And it’s not sticky either. It’s not advertised as being scented, but I swear it smells like cake.
~Novex Brazilian Keratin ($0.45): I took everyone’s advice and bought some cheap travel sized container so I can use pouch samples like this more effectively. Before I would open it, use it one and basically waste the rest because I didn’t have a good way to store it. Not anymore! This stuff is awesome by the way. I have been using it on hair for a while and am always happy with the results.
~Style Essentials Nail Polish ($1.75): This one doesn’t have a color listed on the bottle, but it’s a pretty glittery black. This is a great fall color and will for sure get used.
All totaled I came up with a value of $24.87 for the August 2014 Beauty Box 5. Considering I paid less than $7 for this box it was quite a steal! The majority of the value was in the pur~lisse, but I am happy with everything this month!
