Beauty Box 5 Review - December 2013

Ha! Well, what do you know?! For the first time in a long time I can finally say I’m happy, happy with my Beauty Box 5 that is. I don’t get too excited anymore when I get the box, but I still maintain a slight bit of hope every month thinking this box will be better.

Beauty Box 5 Review - December 2013

The theme for December is “Naughty and Nice”. BB5 aims to kick old conventions to the curb and celebrate you. They know that the modern woman is many things, so they want to give you a little bit of everything.

Beauty Box 5 is a subscription-based, beauty sampling program that delivers a box filled with 5 cosmetic samples to your door every month.

Cost: $12 / month, $30 / 3 months, $99 / annually

December’s Box:

NYX Cosmetics Love In Rio Eyeshadow Palette (Mo Rockin Beats)
$6

A trio of eyeshadows in matte white, silver shimmer and matte black. I’m happy it’s a full size product .

Body Drench Daily Moisturizing Lotion
$1.06 / 2 fl oz

This moisturizer is great, very hydrating, not greasy and it has a nice, light scent.

Clean & Clear Morning Burst Hydrating Gel Moisturizer
$1.17 / 0.5 oz

I have loved Clean & Clear since I was in my teens, so I am very happy to see it in the box. I love that it’s water-based and is great for all skin types, so it feels light, but keeps you from getting oily or drying out.

Jean Pierre Cosmetics Exfoliating Facial Cleansing Pads with Microbeads
$1.99 / 16 pads

I’m always pleased to get anything that cleanses your face. I’m interested to see how well these microbeads work.

So, I can say that 2013 ended on a good note with Beauty Box 5. I was more than happy with the box and these are all useful products for me. I’d like to think that Beauty Box 5 is improving, but I think that maybe this box was a fluke. Either way I’m very pleased and want to see more boxes like this. Good jod BB5!
