I’m taking a look my first Beauty Box 5. I saw an unboxing on YouTube and thought I might like the items in their boxes. Plus, I love subscription boxes and this one is reasonable priced, so I decided to give it a try.
The Basics:
Each box will include items from makeup, haircare, skin care, nail care, fragrances and/or beauty accessories. This box is not a customized box and does not have a questionnaire to determine the needs and likes of subscribers. Beauty Box 5 is sent once a month with a cost of $12, including shipping. There are options to subscribe monthly, $30 quarterly, or $99 yearly.
Delivery Time:
The box shipped on August 14th and was delivered on the 19th. I did not receive a shipping notification until the 16th.
Items:
This site states customers can expect 4-5 samples per box. The shadow in the box was full sized. Boxes may feature up and coming brands and well-known brands.
My Beauty Box 5:

Be a Bombshell Eyeshadow (Onesize) – A highly pigmented, long-lasting shadow that will bring out the Bombshell in you. The shadow can be used wet or dry. Retail: $14.00 beabombshellcosmetics.com
My thoughts:
Overall I think the box is ok. I would have loved to see one hair care product in the package, but I will definitely try the items that were sent to me. I’m excited most about the Bask moisturizer and the Nubar polish. I have a Be a Bombshell lipgloss from another subscription box. I can’t wait to see just how highly pigmented the eyeshadow it compare to their other products.
I hope you enjoyed seeing the goodies I received in my Beauty Box 5 – August 2013 box. Can’t wait to see what will be in next month’s box.
Do you subscribe to any box subscriptions?
What a cute box and can’t wait to see how that green looks! And let me know how that polish goes on and if it chips easily.
I’m curious about both myself. The shadows is a wet/dry shadow so I hope it’s highly pigmented
