Review: Beauty Box 5

By Makeupchicliterarygeek @DoriaJM
I was recently approached by Beauty Box 5 to review one of their boxes and I jumped at the chance! As I'm sure you've gathered if you follow my blog, I really enjoy trying out beauty sample subscriptions. I love getting fun little things in the mail and I love trying out new brands. I am always hopeful that new beauty sample subscription services I try will succeed where others fail. Let's see how Beauty Box 5 did...

Wow - how full is this box?!


Items in box:
  • Lavera Mango Milk Care Treatment
  • Weleda Almond Facial Cream
  • Travalo Refillable Perfume Spray
  • BECCA eye tint in Baroque
  • Psssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo
  • Supergoop! Face & Body Lotion SPF 30
  • Skyn Angelica Line Smoother

There was a little surprise in the bottom of my box!


Price
The Beauty Box 5 subscription service is priced at $12 for 1 month, $30 for 3 months, $100 for 12 months
Where to Subscribe

Thoughts
The first thing that struck me about what I received was the sheer volume of products! I received 7 different products and most of them were a decent size. On the site Beauty Box 5 states you receive 4-5 samples, but is 7 actually more typical or was this just a really great month for boxes? Either way, this box is great in my opinion. There were actually a few brands I've never tried (BECCA, Lavera, Supergoop!), a brand I adore and use daily (Weleda), and a brand I've been eye-ing for a while now (Skyn Iceland). Not bad in my opinion, that seems like a pretty great balance. I like that there's a really great variety of product types in general! I hate when all you get is 4 or 5 samples of just lotion or perfume. I absolutely think that for $12 the box I received is well worth it!

Has anyone else tried Beauty Box 5? Are all of the boxes this fabulous? I may have to subscribe and find out for myself!
