How about a reveal of the January Beauty Box 5?! Ā Let me quickly explain this beauty subscription box program to you, just in case you haven’t read my previous posts or seen my YouTube videos on this topic. Ā The Beauty Box 5 is a monthly box containing 5-6 beauty product samples. Ā Sometimes there are full size products in the box. Ā The cost is $12 per month if you pay this month to month. Ā The price goes down if you sign up for a package deal. Ā The box can cost as little as $8.25 per month. Ā The whole idea behind this subscription is to introduce women to new beauty products. Ā The contents of this month’s box are below.
Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish stripsĀ (full size) in a fun red and black stripe. Ā I’m more of an accent nail type of girl. Ā I think a single nail or two would be cute with this pattern. Ā Retail $19.99 Ā for 16 nail polish strips.
Softsoap Nutri Serums Vitamin E Body Wash (deluxe sample) – a nice fresh scented body wash that’s great to packĀ when traveling. Ā Full size retails for $8.00 for 15 ounces.
Garnier Fructis Daily Care Fortifying Shampoo (deluxe sample) – A fresh scented shampoo that’s supposed to strengthen your hair. Ā Again, great size for travel. Ā Full size retails for $3.99 for 13 ounces.
Coastal Scents Eye Shadow Sampler Palette – Yikes! Ā I thought this look like a paint palette for kids when I opened the box. Ā Other people received much more “calm” shades in their boxes. Ā Maybe I’m supposed to take a walk on the wild side and try these bright colors? Ā Retail for Coastal Scents products is $1.95 – $24.95.
Ultraflesh The Gold Standard Mascara in Blackout (sample size) – A nice size sample of mascara that’s supposed to provide dramatic thicker lashes. Ā This is a very nice mascara. Ā Full size retails for $21 for .27 ounces.
This month’s box wasn’t the most exciting to me. Ā I already have so many soap and shampoo samples that I don’t really need any more. Ā The eyeshadow mini palette was not my style either. Ā Therefore, this month’s box was a fail for me. Ā Let me know if you subscribe to Beauty Box 5 and what you think of it.
*I received this box at no cost for review purposes. Ā All text and opinions stated are my own and are not influenced by anyone else.

I liked this months box because I got 3 make-up products. I am just getting into make-up and hope this box helps me build up my collection.
