Beauty Box 5 October 2012

I feel like an awful person for not blogging since MAY! What the heck dude? Oh well. Hopefully I'll be better about this in the upcoming months. Anyway I have a monthly beauty subscription service review today. I've tested out the products since I recieved them in the mail and I love them. 

The first subscription box comes from Beauty Box 5. A beauty box located in Austin Texas. Their website states  "For a small monthly fee you’ll receive 4 – 5 samples of a variety of makeup, skin care, fragrances and everything in between! Best of all, these samples are delivered right to your door with beauty tips and tricks on how to get the most out of your samples (BB5 FAQ)." For $12 a month you too can have your own Beauty Box 5. Here are the products I received in my box this month. 

 I love the package color. It comes wrapped in a little white bag and added black confetti for extra glam.
This month's products neatly packaged waiting to be opened! 
 All of the products in this month's box. 
 The first one is the Margania Argan Oil. I've never used Argan oil before so I was very excited to receive a sample of this. It's supposed to have anti-aging benefits as well as healing skin ailments. The product card that came in the box says "Use alone or mix with your moisturizer(BB5)."I applied it before my moisturizer last night and my skin was so silky soft and smooth. The Margania Argan Oil retails for $32.00
 Showing the packaging. It is an eye dropper. Anyone ever take medicine like this when they were young? That's what it reminded me of. Just remember a little goes a long long way! Especially with any oils. 
 The next product in my Beauty Box 5 this month is the Goat Haus Dairy lip balm. According to their website they are a family owned business. All of their products are made from goat milk for most skin needs. This lip balm is really nice feeling on my lips. It contains seven total ingredients including apricot kernel oil, shea butter, beeswax, olive oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil, flavor, and glitter. It has a very sweet sugar cookie scent to it and makes my lips feel extreamly hydrated! I will look into purchasing more of these! They retail for $2.50 so a perfect little gift for friends, family, or even the ladies at the office. 
 Another product that came in this month's box is the City Lips Lip Plumper. I was a little hesitated at first about trying this because I have heard horror stories about how much lip plumpers sting when you apply them on. This one however doesn't sting terribly. It does tingle but that's all. I noticed my lips looked more fuller even after just a thin coat of this lip plumper. These lip plumpers are a little on the pricy side but they DO in fact work. This particular one retails for $32.00
 A swatch of the City Lips Lip Plumper. It is a little sticky but nothing too bad that I can't wear. No glitter in it either which is a plus for me! I'm not too fond of glitter in my lip products! 
 The next product is the Furlesse Elevens frown line reducing patches. Now I am only 20 so I do not have lines for frown lines of any sort so I will probably give these to my mother. However I did use one last night and after putting it on I felt like an idiot for using it because I do not have lines. However it was featured in Marie Claire one month so it HAS to be good! 
 Another product that came in my box is the ShowStoppers Fashion Tape. I have not tried these out just yet but I can guess that I will find these very useful in the summertime when I wear tank tops. Fashion tape is supposed to firmly help clothes, or buttons stay put on your body or clothing. Whoever made these is probably getting so rich off a simple idea! These particular strips retail for $9.99
 I've heard tons of things about Lash Card mascara sheilds. Again it's one of those things where you wish you would have invented it and be rich! Such a simple idea! 
 As you can see there is a small curve and a large curve so you can do either your bottom lashes or top lashes. 
 As you can see I've already used it! It's awesome and easy to use! They retail for $6.99 for a 10 pack. 
 This just blew my mind! A $100 gift certificate for NuMe!! I just simply enter a code and I get $100 off my NuMe order! I do believe I see a curling wand in my near future! I've heard great things about NuMe styling tools but they are CRAZY expensive. Now I will be able to get one! 
Obviously I blurred out the ID so nobody but me can use it! 
So the verdict on Beauty Box 5 is indifferent. I may give it another month but after that I may cancel. Though they are a great company it's just personally not my cup of tea.
