Chapstick ~ ($2.99) and came with a coupon. This formula is Hydration Lock with two conditioning formulas. One side is Renew and the other side is Moisturize. I’ve been getting these in multiple boxes. Then again, it’s a new product launch.

Bellapierra Cosmetics ~ ($19.99) Pink Lip and cheek stain. I am so tired of this brand, It’ another constant in boxed. I just don’t like the colors and the way it goes on my oily skin.

Nanacoco~  Nail Polish (My Prince) ($3.95)

Extend Your Beauty Cosmetic Tool ($5.49) Throwing away cosmetics hurts so to make sure you every single drop, this handy spatula grabs hard to reach stuff and lengthens the life of your cosmetics. DISHWASHER safe so you can use again and again!

Lashem Picture Perfect ($3.95) It’s a a nourishing serum that reduces fine lines and tightens the skin. Can be used as a primer too.

This was a much more apprieciated box than last month. I think they overheard me threatening to cancel, 🙂

I paid for this box and all opinions are mine. ~D

Not a bad box, but I’m tired of funky eye crayons and toe separators.

The theme this month is “Radiant and Remarkable”. “The golden days of summer may be headed to an end, but you’re still shining!”

ROUX ~ Anti-aging hair serum. ($11.99)  Full size product. Just in time to heal my summer damaged hair.

Purlisse ~ Pur-protect SPF 30. ($16.50) Thanks to sub boxes I have products from this company coming out my ears!

Nanacoco ~ Lip Gloss in Secret Crush ($3.99) Another full size product! Not sticky so it’s a keeper! There is a light shimmer, but it’s not crazy.

Style Essentials ~ Nail polish in ?? I can’t find a shade on this. ($4.99)

LA  Fresh ~ Travel Lite Facial Cleansing Wipes ($2.50) I love these wipes! I never complain when I get them. I have some in all my go bags. They don’t dry out my skin, or break me out.

Totally happy with this months’ box. I’m also thinking about getting another subscription to take advantage of the FREEBOX. This is the second month that nothing is going in my swap pile. 🙂

“Defining Moments” is the theme for Beauty Box 5 in July. This is about celebrating the major milestones in your life.

PRICE:  $12.00 3 Month Subscription: $30.00 ($10.00 a month) 1 Year Subscription: $99.00 ($8.25 a month).

I’ve had this sub  for over a year now and through the ups and downs I’m glad I stuck with it.

Here is this month’s fabulous box. (Yes, I love this month too!)

HASK ~ Argan Oil Intense Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment.  ($2.49)There might actually be enough for all of my hair! I hope so. I can smell it through the packaging and it’s YUM!

Simy ~ Skin Anti Aging Skin Serum phase II ($11.83)<— NOT KIDDING. What’s even more shocking is that the teeny tube is only half full!

Revlon ~ Bold Lacquer Length & Volume Mascara ($7.99) Also comes with a $11 coupon. 🙂

Body Drench ~ Candy Licious Lips ($3.99) I got red licorice. It doesn’t seem to have a scent or taste, but it feels pretty moisturizing.

H2O Plus ~ Aqualibrium Marne Cleansing Gel  $1.20

Due to the screaming deal last month I have another box coming. I’m sooo exited. Did you take advantage of the freebie?

Beauty Box 5 is offering two new Limited Edition Boxes: “Summer Days” & “Summer Nights”.

PRICE: $39/each.

Each box promises cosmetic goodness from previous boxes, including haircare, lotion, eye shadow, makeup.I am on the fence about ordering. I love BB5, but my budget is limited and now with summer here there are bound to be crazy boxes everywhere. Are you going to order?

“Summer Chic” is the theme for Beauty Box 5 in June.

There is a HOT coupon available right now.  Get your first box FREE with code FREE614  This code will also get you $12 off a quarterly ($30) or yearly ($99) subscription. I couldn’t resist and got a second subscription. I do have a soft spot for this box. *sigh*

So what was in this month’s box?

Nicka K ~ New York Nail Color in Ripe Apple ($4.99) I am bummed I didn’t get the lavender that I’ve seen in other boxes. I supposed I can trade.

Organix ~ Coconut Water Shampoo & Conditioner ($0.30) UGH I hate foil packets, BUT I’ve been wanting to try this “flavor” since I’ve seen it hit the shelves. I love love love coconut!

Vita Bath ~ Body Wash in Wild Red Cherry ($1.33) THIS SMELLS AMAZING! I’m totally going to buy a full size bottle when this is gone.

Glam Natural ~ Mascara, Black ($8) Vegan and Gluten free. Interesting….

Eslor ~ Introductory Collection Calming Kit ($2.38 + $2.80 + $3.80 + $6.50 = $15.48 total)  This is a little sample of some of Eslor’s “all-star” products: Soothing Refiner & Cleanser, Replenishing Scrub, Comforting Mask, and a Soothing Cream.

I am beyond happy with this month’s box. I wish I would have ordered two!

April’s  Beauty Box 5 is a total miss for me this month.  The theme is  “Shades of Beauty.”

The Cost: $12 a month (or $10 a month with a 3-month subscription; $8.25 a month with annual subscription)

The Products: 4-5 full size and sample size beauty products.

First we start out with FOIL PACKETS ahhhhh of TANNING WIPES. Two of my sub box peeves. Jergens ~ Natural Glow. 3 Days to Glow Moisturizer.

Blum Naturals ~ All Purpose Cleansing Wipes. Fresh Scent. I actually love this. It’s a keychain too! How cool is that? Contains peppermint oil. Sounds refreshing!

BH Cosmetics ~ California Collection Eyeshadow Palette. Shades are Hollywood (deep purple) Malibu (gold) and San Francisco (bronze).  BEAUTIFUL shades and a cute little palette. 30 wipes!

Nicka K New York ~ Lipstick. Shade “Daring.” The only thing I like about this is it’s paraben free. The shade is horrid. I don’t do reds AT ALL.

Bonnie Bell ~ Lip Liner. To be honest, I didn’t think Bonnie Bell still existed. LOL Is that good or bad??

My subscription ends with this box. Should I resub? What do you think?
