I’m always nervous to unbox my Beauty Box 5 every month, because who knows what will be in there and if I’ll like it. Last month, I was less than impressed with April’s BB5, so I was hopeful for this month. For me, this month did make up for last month’s dusty/old lip liner incident. There was a nice array of full size and samples to try from different beauty categories, it wasn’t too saturated in skin care, etc.
- MaskerAide Pre Party Prep sheet mask ($5.99): I heard of this brand a while ago when they were launching, sending samples to different bloggers. This brand of sheet masks is available in Target and just includes a single one-use sheet mask. The Pre Party Prep mask features argan oil, orange peel oil, and honey to soften skin. I liked trying this mask out, but I don’t think I’d purchase it because it didn’t “treat” my skin, it just made my skin feel good.
- Ban Total Refresh Cooling Body Cloths ($2.99 for 10 cloths): These cloths are kind of a strange item, but I was happy to get them for the summer. I haven’t been able to put one to use, yet, though, so maybe it wasn’t as good of an idea as I thought! I liked how they included 3 samples, so I didn’t feel duped by a sample packet.
- Harvey Prince Hello Perfume Sample ($55 full size): This perfume is a light fresh scent. It includes a blend of floral and citrus notes such as lemon, mandarin, grapefruit, plumeria, verbena, vanilla, and musk. It smells very light, and doesn’t last long because it is an eau de toilette. But, it smells lovely!
- H2O+ Aqualibrium Marine Cleansing Gel ($18 full size): This cleanser is a super thick gel like nothing I’ve tried before. I don’t really think it helps my skin, but it doesn’t break it out, either. This would be good for those with normal skin and no major acne issues!
- Cattiva Cosmetics Precisione Eyeliner ($20): This black eyeliner is a full sized product, which is more than the box’s cost, which is great! The brand made me laugh because their name, Cattiva, means bad in Italian. I have more than enough black liner to last me, so I didn’t test this one out. But I’ll still rate it well because it has such a high value in the box!
Overall I think the box was great because the 2 full sized items were worth over twice of what the box costs. If I had paid $12 for this box, I wouldn’t have been upset about it at all! In the upcoming boxes I am hoping for some color cosmetics! Blushes, lipsticks, anything bright for summer will go well in my book!
Do you think this box is worth $12?
