Steps to Beautiful with Beauty Box 5 -- Beauty Box 5 Review

I was given a chance to work with the subscription service Beauty Box 5!  They asked me to review one of their monthly boxes for you.  Most of these things I use daily or plan to, so this worked out for me!  


Beauty Box 5 is a subscription-based, beauty sampling program that delivers a box filled with 5 cosmetic samples to your door every month. Aimed at introducing women to new cosmetic products and educating them on best practices, Beauty Box 5 scours the market to find the best products for your lifestyle.



I am quite impressed with the Model Co Illusion Lip Pencil.  When I opened the box, I thought it was a bright pink lip liner.  The box is a little misleading.  I took the pencil out to find that this Illusion Lip Pencil is mad to create the perfect pout and lip line by giving the illusion of natural, fuller lips.  The color is more of a pinkish tan color that blended so well with my natural lips.  It worked well on Ally too!


I am in love with the Nubar Alter Ego Nail Lacquer.  This polish dried within 30 seconds of me applying it.  The glitter looks great alone and on top of a color.  The handle has the company's name on it, which allows for a textured handle.  This works great for me because I tend to drop everything!


La Fresh Travel Lite Facial Cleansing Wipes are a very handy product.  The wipe is of generous size and smells  refreshing.  Upon using the wipe on my face, I felt an immediate tingle while my face was drying.  The skin on my face was smooth after using this wipe.  These are for sure a product I will be sticking in my purse.  They would be great to clean up some of that yuck you experience on hot summer days!

I've mentioned before how much I love a good hand lotion.  The Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion is just that.... and more!  I used the lotion on my hands this evening after a day of cooking and cleaning.  I saw them hydrate right away and they feel smooth.  I love Aveeno!


Who doesn't love glitter?   The Swissco Glitter Toe Separators are a very handy tool when painting your toe nails!  These work like any other toe separator would but these are extra fabulous with glitter!


You can join Beauty Box 5 in a couple of different ways.  You could pay a $12 monthly fee, a $30 quarterly fee, or a $99 yearly fee.  These fees are very comparable with other subscription services, except for the yearly fee.  Savings $45 a year is a pretty great perk! If you want to learn more, check out Beauty Box 5 on their website and on social media!

  1. I really like the idea of getting these beauty items in a box. It takes the guesswork out of coordinating makeup items at the store.

  3. I can see how this might be the only way I mix up my buys, lol! You know how you fall into a rut, you know YOUR lipstick and whatnot. This would help mix up my look! :)

  5. The $99 dollar deal does sound like a good savings option. The box would help me try new products too.

  9. That would be a great holiday gift for my girls. I know they would love getting a beauty box in the mail all year long. What a bargain if you pay for the whole year.
