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, the price drops if you subscribe for an extended period of time.
Beauty Box 5 ships via DHL and I typically receive my box between the 10th and 15th of the month.
The May 2016 Beauty Box 5 theme was “Bait Some Beauty, Save A Mermaid” and included the following items:
~Briogeo Rosarco Milk Repairative Leave-In Spray (30mL) ($4): This spray adds smooths and softens your hair, while also adding manageability and moisture. It has UV protection too which is key if you are spending a lot of time outdoors this summer. My hair has been super tangly lately and this really helped.
~Appeal Cosmetics Luxurious Lipstick in Crush ($29): I am not much of a coral person so this just isn’t for me. The formula is nice – it’s moisturizing and the color seemed to stay well, but it’s not a flattering shade for me personally.
~Mystic Tan Mocha-Kyssed Bronzer Lotion ($5.83): This can be used daily to build and maintain color. I didn’t even know that Mystic Tan offered a product like this, so I am thrilled. I have been wanting to go spray tanning, but I haven’t gotten around to it, so this may be the next best thing.
~Glamour Dolls Splash Proof Mascara ($4.99): I am actually not much of a fan of waterproof mascara so I will be passing this one on to a friend. It’s supposed to give you great volume and amazing length.
~Elizabeth Mott You’re So Fine Liquid Liner in Glitterati ($18): Hopefully you can tell from my swatch, but this black liner has a hint of glitter. Just a hint. If I liked eyeliner I think I’d like this because I do like the glitter!
~Swatches:
The May 2016 Beauty Box 5 hand a value of $61.82. I was impressed by the value and even though I didn’t love everything in here I still thought the box was great.

I kept the hair product and threw the rest away. BB5 has been the single most wasteful sub box out of the 30+ I’ve tried.
The eye liner is very fine and looks great on!
Should have donated the rest to a women’s shelter, they would have loved it
There are no shelters in my area, and much of what BB5 sends out are rather odd shades. I also won’t pass along anything made in China.
