Not too impressed with this month’s Beauty Box 5. It has good stuff, but over all I’ve had better boxes.

“We know the transition from summer lovin’ to fall can be hard on your heart (and your style), but we can make it through this! This month take it easy with Beauty Box 5 by dialing down your beauty routine and focusing on nourishing essentials. And who knows? Maybe some glitter nail polish, tea and chunky sweater weather is just what the doctor ordered.”

I’m beyond happy with my boxes this month and glad I got a second subscription. I knew they’d improve!

I keep threatening to cancel my sub with Beauty Box 5, but I just can’t do it. Sure there were some questionable products, but there were also amazing ones. I’ve tried lip glosses that I never EVER would have picked out. I ended up loving them. BB5 was not only my first box, but the first sub that introduced me to vegan eye shadows. LOVE THEM!

I blame this box for starting my subscription box addiction! 🙂

I am so not happy with this month’s Beauty Box 5. It’s almost like it’s a repeat of last month.

Just Being Sexy ~ Body Bronzer (last month it was tanning wipes)

Aveeno Protect & Hydrate lotion and sunscreen. meh!

Brazen Cosmetics ~ Eyeshadow “Illusion” (the only thing I like about this box)

Coolway ~ Cool Cleanse Shampoo & Hydrate Conditioner. last month we got their hairspray. BUT at least we got both S/C. I get so irritated when we get one or the other only.

Sooo… Overall it’s not a bad month. I really do love BB5. I just must be grumpy. 🙂
