I was excited to film an unboxing of the April Beauty Box 5, but once I opened it, it was quite underwhelming with the addition of the grossest product I’ve ever seen come out of a beauty box! I was hesitant to post this, but I figured I’d entertain the masses at my expense. 🙂
Also, so sorry I have been MIA on my blog and YouTube for over 2 weeks. I’ve been super busy with the last few weeks of school, a new internship, and no time to film and edit. I’m going to ease into uploading once a week again, and hopefully in summer I will maintain my 2 videos a week…not sure about how often I’ll blog yet! But anyway, onto the products and their values:
- BH Cosmetics California Collection Eyeshadow Palette ($18.95 for 16 eyeshadows and 4 face powders): nice sample (great quality), but I’m not a fan of the colors at all so I didn’t use it!
- Nicka K New York Hydrating Lipstick ($4.99 value): I didn’t like the metallic red color, if was a matte bright shade I def would have used it! I’ve never heard of this brand, though.
- Blum Naturals All Purpose Cleansing Wipes ($2.49 value): These wipes smell like wet naps or something you get from a restaurant, but they are probably the best product in the box for me. They really come in handy on the train or bus!
- Jergens Natural Glow ($9.99 full size): Hated the sample packets, didn’t even bother using them. We got a deluxe sample of Jergens in the past, so this is a downgrade. I recently reviewed Jergens BB Body Cream, so check that post out. But I’m really not a fan of self-tanning, regardless…
- Bonne Bell Lip Definer ($3.95 value): This product legit looked like it was from the 90s. With dust on the sticker to boot. The plastic has yellowed, and was a super hard pencil. I think the fact that this isn’t on their website kind of proves how old it is.
I really didn’t like this box at all. The wipes are useful, but they don’t cover much retail value of the $12 box, so if I had paid for this box I’d be pretty upset. If the eyeshadow colors and lipstick were up my alley, it would have been a decent box. But, the addition of that nasty Bonne Bell lip definer really put me over the edge.
How would you react if you found that lip liner in a box you paid for?
