Lots of subscription boxes arrived today include my February 2015 Beauty Box 5!

In case you aren’t familiar, 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 USPS and took just three days to arrive.  Some months it arrives super quickly and some months its not quite as quick.

I had no idea what was going to be in this month’s Beauty Box 5 so opening it was a complete surprise.  I wasn’t too thrilled with last month’s box, but this one was looking good.

The February 2015 Beauty Box 5 was all about celebrating their 3rd Birthday which is this February.  Here is what the box included:

~Marsk Mineral Eyeshadow (Vanilla Frosting) ($22): I actually smelled this to see if it smelled like frosting.  It does not.  However, it’s still a fun shimmery shadow with just a little sparkle.  It’d be nice layered on top of a darker shade.

~Revlon Colorstay Nail Enamel (Velvet Rope) ($3.99): Ohh, I love this color!  I think there was an assortment of colors sent out, but I am very happy with my red.

~Absolute New York Absolute Love Lip Balm ($2.50): I received a different flavor of this in an ipsy bag once and I have actually bought a few of these sets at TJMaxx. They are very fun and smell so good.

~Avon Big Color Eye Pencil ($3.49): From the sounds of it on the Avon site, this was discontinued a few months ago.  That not necessarily a bad thing and I know other boxes will sometimes include a discontinued item.  However, you want to make sure you don’t like it too much because you aren’t going to be able to get it again.

~GlamGlow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment ($6.46): I LOVE GlamGlow and even though this will only get me one use (maybe two if I use it very sparingly, I am thrilled with it.  GlamGlow is awesome.

All totaled I came up with a value of $38.44 for the February 2015 Beauty Box 5. I liked this month’s box way better than last month’s and will use everything in it.  The box also included a $20 gift card to yourMinerals, but I can’t find mine to tell you the details on the fine print.  I don’t recall ever seeing it, so it’s possible mine didn’t have one?  It’s not a big deal though because I probably wouldn’t have used it anyway.
