Beauty Box 5 Review February 2016
Beauty Box 5 is a monthly beauty subscription box that sends you 5 samples of favorite beauty brands in each box. The price is easy on the tightest budget at $12/month for month-to-month subscriptions, $30/quarterly subscription or $99/yearly subscription. Many blogs have coupon codes to help make the cost even less.
This review is for the February 2016 box. As always, they included a helpful product information/cost card so you know what you have received and how it works. This month’s box contained a collection of eyes, lips and body products.
Manna Kadar Beauty 3-in-1 – Shadow, Highlight & Blush in Fantasy Full Size ($19)
This is a pearlized powder blush, highlighter and eyeshadow that glides on smoothly and evenly. It can be used on all skin tones and gives a shimmer appearance. The color Fantasy is a Nude Blush Pink that gives a soft glow to wherever you apply it. This is just what I need with spring around the corner – time to put the brighter winter colors to bed for a few months!
Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eye Shadow Primer sample size 0.17 oz ($20 for .35 oz)
This looks like a tiny tube of eye shadow primer but in reality it is just ½ the size of a full size tube. A little goes a LONG way! I had never used an eye shadow primer before and was pleased that it is transparent when it dries and helps my eye shadow stay on longer.
Starlooks Custom Lip Liner in Sultry Sangria Full Size ($16)
This is a lovely lip liner in a subtle coral color, designed specifically for Beauty Box 5’s birthday.
Epic Blend Premium Lip Balm in Hemp Raspberry Pomegranate Full Size ($3.49)
This is the time of year for constant lip balm application so I was very pleased to see this in the box! It is all-natural, organic, and smells great!
Hemp Nation Kiwi-Mango Body Wash sample size 2 oz (12.99 for 8 oz)
This body wash lathers up well and has a good crisp scent. It is made with pure hemp seed oil with added kiwi-mango extracts and is THC drug-free. I am strictly a shower person but I think this would make a bath smell wonderful!
Beauty Box 5 killed it again this month! The products were all useful and they sent out 3 full size items! Total value for this box came to $51.74 by my calculations – a pretty sweet deal for a box costing $12.

Wow what a great deal!! I love that there’s a great variety and its a perfect way to try new things!! Too neat!!
The Manna Kadar Beauty 3-in-1 looks like it would be a good product. What a good deal for a box that only costs $12.
