BeautyBox 5 (five) Review - June 2013 - A Monthly Beauty Subscription Box

Beauty Box 5 is a $12/month monthly beauty trial subscription. You’ll receive 4 – 5 samples of a variety of makeup, skin care, fragrances and everything in between.♥

The Box

 I don't know why but I expected the box to be bigger.. It is only a 6 1/2" X 4" X 2" box.  Reusable box Value $1.

First Glance

 The Product Card

 They do a great job on their product cards.  Very informative, professional & neat.

Just Being Sexy Body Bronzer - 2 8mL Sample Packets

 I haven't tried these yet but I am in the market for a new sunless tanner so I appreciated these.  I am searching for one that does not stink!!  Just Being Sexy actually sells these packets on their website for $3 a piece. Value $6

Cool Way Hydrate Shampoo & Conditioner - Deluxe Samples, 1 oz each

 I am really happy with my current shampoo and condition so I really didn't get enthusiastic about this but they will be good for travelling.  Value $5.45.

Minxxette Brush Hanger

 Well, I have no use for this since I have nowhere to hang brushes.  This could be useful to other people though. Value $4.69

Shea Terra Oranics Pose Hips Black Soap, Deep Pore Facial Cleanser, Deluxe Sample, 1 oz.

 This one scares me a little since I have sensitive skin, I will probably gift it.. not sure!  Value $4.50

All of the Stuff in the Box

Looks a little empty... I think they could have done better but let's see how it adds up!

Loved

Nothing really... It's sad but true.  I do however think that their packaging, logo and product card is fabulous.

Didn't Love

The brush hanger.  That is something that they should know would only be useful for a small percentage of their subscribers.  I thought this box was a little dull, nothing excited me and I feel that at $10/Month Birch Box and Ipsy kicked their butt this month!

Judgement

I spent $12 and received $21.50 in product!!  They can and have done better then that!  I am not sure that I will continue with Beauty Box 5 considering Birchbox and Ipsy are $10/Month and send a higher value of product!  Although a part of me just wants to wait and see what they have in store for July!! ha!  This one hurts a little when I just did a Wantable Beauty box review and spent $36 but received over a $100 in product but I guess when you think about it $20 in product for $12 really isn't that bad! Decisions, Decisions....  Also, like I said before, I HAVE seen better month's for Beautybox Five so maybe this was just an off month.
