It’s always fun rooting through a new month of beauty goodies from a great subscription box like Beauty Box 5.  This month’s theme centers around birthday sweets with exciting cosmetics and skin care products to celebrate the company’s fourth anniversary. 

For those that still may be unaware of Beauty Box 5, let me get you up to speed because this is a wonderful way to get your beauty fix.  Every month, you will expect five full and sample size beauty items from cosmetics to skin and hair care products to fragrance and grooming tools for just $12 with free shipping. You can even spend less per month, depending on the plan that you commit to.

Some of the products may be familiar brands to you.  Others will be new and a perfect way to discover some great new beauty products like I have that you’ll want again and again. 
    
Yet, it is better to just show you what I’m talking about because February 2016 happens to be exceptionally great month.  Check out my latest beauty assortment below and see if you don’t agree.

Beauty Box 5 August 2015 


As Summer continues to wind down, we can look forward to getting ready for Fall.  This month’s beauty box assortment is about doing some primping with some new cosmetics, skin and hair care that will help give you a beautiful fresh start for a brand-new season.  

Beauty Box 5 is a monthly beauty box subscription that I really enjoy digging into.  Every green mystery box is so fun to explore because you can always expect about four or five full to sample size beauty products. You get both familiar brands as well as new ones, which is exciting when finding something that works magic for you that you never knew existed until that little box arrived.  And yet, the cost for this monthly bit of fun is just $12 a month with free shipping.

For instance, let me show you what this latest beauty box was like.  Wait until you see!


Beauty Box 5 August 2015


1.  Donnamax Printed Nail-File with Case–Full Size–$4.99

2.  Starlooks Lux Longwear eyeliner Pen in Plum –Full Size–$19.99

3.  Hask Beauty Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment–Full Size–$2.39

4.  Jerome Alexander Hot Stuff Go Pop Compact –Full Size–$10.99

5.  Pur~lisse Pur Moist Hydra-Balance Moisturizer–Sample Size (.5 oz.)–$18.00


Total Approximate Value–$56.36


The Donnamax Nail-File with Case was an insightful addition to this assortment.  This is great for throwing in your handbag because when is it that you don’t need a nail file? The case makes it more sanitary as well as convenient when rummaging through your cosmetic bag.

The Starlooks Lux Longwear eyeliner pen went on wonderfully.  It made a smooth line in a color that complimented my dark brown eyes so I will continue enjoying using that pen.

The Hask Beauty Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment I will be trying once I finish my current hair product testing.  Again, I think the company made a good choice because Summer heat can really take a toll on our hair.  

The Jerome Alexander Hot Stuff Go Pop Compact is strong looking and extra easy to open.  The only fault with this is no protective plastic over the lip shades or eye shadows.  Other than that, this is a great little set except I would not wear a bright mint green or the paler green of these shimmer shades. A grayish shimmer color is the last shade. The lip colors are a rose with gold, an orange and a pink nude with some shimmer to it.

Finally, I got a tube of Pur~lisse Pur Moist Hydra-Balance Moisturizer.  I got samples of this brand before and like how they work on my sensitive skin.  This formula is anti-aging and uses plant extracts and vitamins for moisturizing.  

I think August 2015 was a very good month of products for us, beauty loving girls for Beauty Box 5.  Don’t you agree?  Do check the company’s website out because it is a great way to shop for beauty.

Review: Beauty Box 5 July 2014

Beauty Box 5 July 2014

I love getting surprised every month with a box of beauty items from Beauty Box 5.  Anticipating what may be inside is always thrilling.  The only thing I hate about this monthly beauty subscription that includes four to five products from full to sample sizes for just $12 a month is the wait until my next box arrives!

If you haven’t signed up yet, you are denying yourself some real fun besides great skin, hair and makeup. This month’s beauty assortment from Beauty Box 5 centers around defining moments with products that might have helped you celebrate those important events in life. To give you an idea of what you're missing, take a look inside the current box.

Beauty Box 5 July 2014:

1.  Revlon "Bold Lacquer" Mascara (001 Blackest Black)-- Full Size ($7.99)

2.  HASK Argan Oil Intense Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment--Full Size ($2.49)

3.  Body Drench Candy Licious Lips--(Peppermint) Full Size ($3.99)

4.  Anna Naturals Glowing Mama Walnut Face & Body Scrub--(Unspecified Sample Size–FULL SIZE sells for $10.99 for four fl. oz.  I estimate the value between .68 and $1.37 from the size of the jar.)

5.  Starlooks Lip Liner (Tipsy)--Full Size ($12.00)


Total Value:  $27.15 to $27.84


I always love finding mascara.  This new Revlon Bold Lacquer is a formula for lengthening and adding volume. I didn’t get to use it yet, but I soon will.

Yesterday, I gave my hair some tender loving care with the HASK Argan Oil Deep Conditioner.  Instead of ten minutes as directed, I kept it on an hour while I also gave myself the full treatment.  When I was through and finished styling, I can say this product did my hair proud with returning extra shine and softness.

While my hair was benefitting, I thought my skin should also. With that thought, I followed with the Anna Naturals Glowing Mama Walnut Face & Body Scrub.  This vegan exfoliating scrub had a nice texture to gently remove dead cells.  It left my face with a rosier glow.

The lip liner from Starlooks was in a shade called Tipsy and it glided on beautifully.  It was a wonderful pink-brown color that could work with lots of my lipsticks and glosses.   

Last of all, I got a moisturizing lip balm from Body Drench Candy Licious Lips in Peppermint flavor.  I can’t imagine a yummier solution for dry lips than applying peppermint lip balm.  It does help provide some tasty lip comfort while repairing the problem.

I thought this was a great value when you add it all.  Do check BeautyBox 5's website and do some browsing.  You can also connect with them on Facebook and Twitter.  I think you will love their subscription box program as much as I do once you start experiencing what they have to offer.
