Beauty Box 5 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 originally subscribed a while back when they had a crazy deal that brought the cost of an annual subscription down to $6.58/month. But that year is over and to be honest, I don’t know how I am still getting this box? The credit card I used to purchase the subscription has expired so I am not totally clear how I am being billed for this? I really do need to contact them this month.
Beauty Box 5 ships via DHL and took under a week to arrive.
Not a bad first look. Beauty Box 5 is totally a hit or miss subscription so you really never know with them. But this month looked okay.
The July 2015 Beauty Box 5 theme was “Summer Night Out” and included the following items:
~OFRA Lip Gloss (Apricot Dream) ($12.95): This color is fabulous. It’s really sheer and light, but super glossy. It’s not at all sticky either. I don’t dig the scent of it, but it’s not strong enough to make me not want to use it.
~OFRA Lip Liner (Baby Doll) ($13): I don’t have too much use for lip liner, so I will likely end up passing this on to a friend. The color is pretty though and the staying power is great. It’s been on my hand for hours and I have washed my hands quite a few times since then.
~Nanacoco Nail Polish (Hope of Spring) ($3): I almost did my nails with this shade today but ended up going with something just a tad darker. It’s a gorgeous shade though and I’ll use it soon enough.
~Love Life Skin Collection (Samples): This line was originally created to help chemotherapy patients’ sensitive skin recover. The information card says that the sensitive formula will give your skin a “majorly healthy glow”. The samples are so small though there just aren’t enough uses to really get an idea of how it works.
~Pur~lisse Flash Tattoos ($9): I have so many of these metallic tattoos. I just can’t really see myself wearing them though. Years ago? Yes. Now, not so much. I just don’t go anywhere where I could wear these.
All totaled I came up with a value of $37.95 for the July 2015 Beauty Box 5. All in all, I liked this box. I will use the nail polish and the lip gloss so they make the box worth it. But unless I am still getting that crazy discounted rate I originally subscribed with I am likely going to cancel this box for a few months.
