BEAUTY BOX 5 Photos, Swatches & Review – June 2014

June 14, 2014

Press Sample

Beauty Box 5 Summer Chic June 2014The theme for the June 2014 Beauty Box 5 is Summer Chic! Regardless if your channeling Audrey or Marilyn you need to know that less effort means more cool! BB5 recommends focusing on the iconic hot weather basics, some of which are included in this months box, just add that little white dress!

Inside Beauty Box 5 June 2014BB5 June 2014 PeekBeauty Box 5 June 2014 Swatches ReviewFrom Organix, Coconut Water Shampoo & Conditioner. I am obsessed with Organix Sea Mineral so I was jumping for joy when I saw these sample packets. When I bought the Sea Mineral set I went with the intent to get the Coconut Water set. I opted for Sea Mineral at the last minute. The Coconut Water smells amazing (it reminded me of Parrot Bay Rum!) and made my hair really hydrated & shiny. It’s got coconut oil, electrolytes and is sulfate-free! Love!

From Nicka K New York, Nail Color. The shade I got is in NY139. It’s a gorgeous crelly red that was nearly fully opaque in one coat. You have to watch a bit while painting because if you get too much product on the brush it will quickly run into the sides/cuticle area.

BB5 Nicka K New York Nail Color Swatches NY139From Eslor, Introductory Collection Calming Kit. I’m currently testing another skincare product, so I couldn’t test this one out by posting time, but it’s a paraban free kit for you to use to experience Eslor’s all star products – a soothing refiner & cleanser, replenishing scrub, comforting mask and soothing cream used to hydrate and protect the skin. It sounds amazing so it’s in my cabinet for use later on!

BB5 Eslor Introductory CollectionFrom Vita Bath, Body Wash. The scent I received is in Wild Red Cherry. This wash is very fragrant and lathers up nicely. I love that it’s full of antioxidants and is free of silicone!

From Glam Natural, Mascara. This mascara is said to be non-irritating and lifting. It did darken my lashes and give off a natural look, though I didn’t think it did much else and it stayed wet for way too long. On the plus side, it is listed as gluten-free, paraben-free, hypoallergenic and vegan.

BB5 Glam Natural Mascara SwatchesThis months box was an excellent mix on makeup, haircare and skincare. I was really happy to get a full sized nail polish as well as try a product I’ve been looking forward to using.

Based off of this box it’s clear that the service is worth the $12.00 price tag.  I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store for July!

    I was excited about the codes in my box, too – until I also noticed that they were all the same! lol. I got a lavender Nikka K polish that I think is so pretty, and a cupcake scented Vitabath.

    I actually loved that mascara, and it dried pretty fast on me, probably because my lashes are so thin. Great review!

    I agree less is more this summer! I like Ogx but haven’t tried that coconut water combo yet.
