I am new to BeautyBox5. This is actually my very first box from them. It is November now but this is the October 2013 box.
For those of you who are unfamiliar, BeautyBox5 is a beauty subscription service. Every month it offers 5 beauty products (some full-sized some sample-sized). You can buy it monthly for $12, quarterly for $30, or a yearly subscription for $99.
October’s theme seems to be “Take It Easy”. It is all about transitioning from Summer to Fall and they provide products that will nourish, be useful, and sparkle.
The information card gives you the breakdown on the full sized pricing. Right away I see 2 full sized products in the box that more than make up for the price of the box itself. The lip pencil and the toe separators total $22.
The products included are:
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Liquid
I am planning on doing some traveling really soon, for the holidays and just to visit some not-so-close family members. It is always good to have these small bottles that will fit in your travel bag.
Model Co Illusion Lip Pencil
This is a full size product. It is in the shade Nude, and if you know me… I can’t get enough of nude lips. It is funny because I have went years without wearing lip liners and in the last 6 months I am all for them.
TIP: For a long lasting pout, fill your lips completely in with a lip liner and apply a creamy or shimmery gloss overtop. It will last MUCH longer than a regular lipstick.
Swissco Glitter Toe Separatoes
Toe separators are a tool that I often forget to purchase for myself, but they are the first thing I reach for when doing a pedi on myself. They are a godsend when doing my own toes.
LA Fresh Travel Lite Facial Cleansing Wipes
Again, I am traveling soon and I will need these travel sized wipes.
Nubar Alter Ego Nail Laquer in Blondie
WOW! Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Blondie blows me away. This nail polish is absolutely amazing. I am trying to capture it’s magnificence in the next few pictures and one clip from my vine.
The pictures below are at different angles and lighting. the middle one includes the flash. You can see that the nude lip liner shade is a pinkish-brown and the nail polish has a multi dimensional shimmer and I am sitting back in awe!
I am quite thrilled at the amazing products included in my first BeautyBox5 and I am more than thrilled to see what will be included in the boxes to come. The products are amazing and I like it much more than some of the other sample subscriptions out there.
What makes BeautyBox5 different from the others? Well, the brand page is pretty extraordinary in that some are very well known (i.e. BECCA Cosmetics, Ellis Faas, Model Co., etc) and some less well known/newer brands (i.e. Minxxette, Bask, MakeupGeek, Goat Haus Dairy etc). I am excited to see the large variety of products/brands offered by this subscription box. I feel with this variety everyone will get something that they truly will enjoy. I know that I will get a lot of use out of all the products included in October 2013’s box.
