Hi everyone, today I
am going to review another beauty subscription called Beauty Box Five. I know that there are a lot of monthly subscriptions circulating so hopefully reviews can
help you decide which box is right for you if you are interested in
joining any of them.
Beauty Box Five is a subscription service that starts at $12
for the monthly box, $30 for the quarterly subscription and $99 dollars for a
year. In this box you will receive a mix of luxury items as well as common
brands ranging from hair products, skin products, nail products, fragrances and beauty
accessories. Usually the box will contain 5 sample products but sometimes there
are full size products included. The object of this box is to give you a sense of how a particular product works for you so that you can try out new
brands and then purchase whichever ones you like.
The first item is the h2O+ hydrating treatment which is suppose to “deeply hydrate and plump fine lines” making them less
noticeable. This product is light blue and has a watery gel consistency. When I
tried it I did notice that it slightly smoothed out the texture of my skin so it can be used as a light primer.
The next item is a pink nail polish by nubar called Hot
Pink. As you can see on the front of the bottle it is formaldehyde, phthalate
and toluene free. The bottle is ideal
for travel and although I already have colors very similar to this, it
is a nice bright shade and a great color for spring and summer. nubar is not a brand I have tried before.
I also received this Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion. This
cream is dermatologist recommend and contains oatmeal and emollients to provide
24 hours of moisture. I already use many Aveeno products and I like this brand because it is usually very
gentle on my skin and great quality. This sample of cream is very tiny and if I
tried to use it as a body cream it would probably only be enough for one application. It is however convenient to
pop into your purse and use as a hand cream.
The only full size product in the box was this bellapierre
eye shadow in the color Tin Man. This shade is a lovely silver which I used in my New Years Eve makeup tutorial. It is a loose shadow that
comes with a sifter top and it is very pigmented and blends easily. In the photo
below I did not use a primer and the shadow adhered well to the skin and looks
great. This was my favorite item in the box.
The last item is this pack of makeup remover
pads by Every Beauty which is another brand I had not previously tried. I like that these
sheets are 100% natural, suitable for all skin types and contains argan oil extract. They come dry and you are suppose to wet them with a few drops of water before use but I found that I needed a lot more than a few drops to use them. These pads are also
alcohol and paraben free and I like that they are non-drying but the individual pads are way to small to remove all of my makeup in one go. These pads were not very effective, they did not remove my eye makeup and I had a difficult time trying to remove my foundation with them. I actually needed to use one of my regular makeup wipes after I used these.
Overall I think the box is okay. If you are someone who hasn't
tried many different beauty products and you are looking to experiment
and find new brands then this box may be a great option for just $12. I personally like receiving
samples and when I find a good product I often buy the full size. I think this box had a good mix of different types of beauty products but some items are quite small.
