September 2014 Beauty Box 5

Today was another pretty good mail day here which included the arrival of my September 2014 Beauty Box 5.

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.

The Box

Beauty Box 5 ships via USPS.  My box took a total of five days to get to me (in MI) from TX which I didn’t think was too bad.

First Look

First look was so-so.  Nothing looked overly amazing, but it didn’t look awful either.

The Information Card

The September 2014 Beauty Box 5 included the following fall favorites to help keep you toeing the line between taking care of yourself and embracing new trends:

~Nicka K New York Eyelight Crayon (Violet) ($4.49): This is fun!  It’s easy to apply and gives you a smooth shimmery eye color.  It’s super easy to blend too.

~Natural Style by FUBU Deep Conditioner & Co-Wash ($0.83): This isn’t the same FUBU as the clothing line is it?  I am guessing no, but I guess it could be?  Anyway, the conditioner is suppose to work as a co-wash for curly haired-girls and as a deep conditioner for all other hair types.

~Sally Hansen Toe Spacers ($1.99): Meh.  I am not too excited by toe spacers.  It’ll be a cute little add-on in to all the nail polishes I am sending in my cousin’s care package though.

~My Beauty Spot Nail Polish ($4.17): I’ve never heard of this brand before, but the color is really nice.  I *might* even be able to get away with using just one coat too, which I never can do.  It has a weird smell though.  It’s stronger than most other polishes I’ve tried.  Not too sure why that is, but you’ll want to open your windows when you put this on.

~Chrislie Formulations 3-in-1 Eye Bright ($13.60): I have yet to find a product that makes my tired eyes feel as good as just closing them and putting a cooling eye mask on, but that’s not always possible I guess.  This did feel good when I put it on, but my container seemed like it was almost empty?  Did anyone else notice this?

All totaled I came up with a value of $23.09 for the September 2014 Beauty Box 5.  I’m just kind of meh on this box.  Certainly not my favorite ever, but I still think it was worth the ~$7 I spent on it.

Do you subscribe to Beauty Box 5?  What’d you get in your box this month?  I know there are usually some variations, so I would love to hear what you got!  If you are interested in subscribing or want to check out more, click here.
