Beauty Box 5

This post is my reveal of the Beauty Box 5 for May, 2015.  I receive the box for review each month and love sharing the contents with you.  This monthly subscription box sells for $12 per month is you do their monthly subscription plan.  It goes down to $8.25 per month if you order an entire year.  I’ve been getting this box for about 18 months now.  Most months I really enjoy the products that I’m sent as I receive beauty products that I’ve never heard of previously.

This month’s box has a theme of S.O.S. or Super Outstanding Skin.  The box has five products designed to be a 1-2 punch of complexion saving finds.  These include skincare as well as makeup.

Essence Luxury hand soap, Dermalogica Active Moist and Bio Swiss mini tweezers

Styli-Style Blush Highlighter Stick (and a coupon code to be used on their website), Coastal Scents synthetic eyeshadow brush

Swatches of the Bittersweet Styli-Style Blush Highlighter Stick.                                 Left: swatch   Right: blended out

This month’s box contained products that I know I will use up.  Most are perfect for travel.  The only item that doesn’t agree with me is the Essence hand soap in French Lavender.  I just don’t care for lavender fragrances.  I was rather impressed with the sample size blush highlighter stick.  It gave a lot of color payoff and looks very natural on my cheeks.  The eyeshadow brush is good quality and pretty basic for applying color to the lids.  I haven’t tried the Dermalogica product out yet.  The tweezers are nice to have a small size pair for tucking in a travel bag.  Overall this month’s subscription box was good, it just didn’t have anything that overly impressed me.  You can go check out this monthly subscription HERE (not an affiliate link).
