This month I got…
From Hask Beauty, Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment. Hask is a fabulous brand and I’ve been a fan of their hair products for some time. Assorted packets were sent out and I got the Keratin Protein one, which is perfect for my frizzy, color-treated, damaged hair. Retail price: $2.39 for 1.75 oz.
From Donnamax, Printed Nail File with Case. How fun is this nail file?! I generally use a glass nail file, but this would be great to keep in the car if you’re in a pinch. TBH, and don’t laugh, I’m likely going to use it as a photo prop lol. Retail price: $4.99.
From Pur-lisee, Pur Moist Hydra-Balance Moisturizer. Though we’ve been seeing a lot of Pur-lisse lately in sub boxes I do like the brand. This sample is small, so it makes it hard to review the actual skincare claims, but I will say I like the feel of it and there’s no describable fragrance. It’s also intended for sensitive skin. Retail price: $55.00 for 1.7oz.
From Jerome Alexander, Hot Stuff Go Pop Compacts. Right off I thought it was really cool to see that what was inside of this bold, yellow case was actually a pretty usable palette. Though, you guys know I really hate when my lip palettes mesh with my eye palettes… dust gets in the lip side from the shadow side… my OCD is not okay with that. However, the products inside are very pretty and wearable (if you’re warm toned). The sturdy case and the full mirror make it very travel friendly. The colors that people received are assorted. Retail price: $10.99.
From Starlooks, Luxe Longwear Eyeliner Pen in Plum. This liner applied smoothly and wore nicely all day long. The dark plum shade almost borders brown in color. The big winner in this months shipment! Retail price: $19.99.
This months box was fabulous with an incredible value! Every month BB5 just keeps getting better. I’m particularly impressed with the Starlooks Eyeliner and the Jerome Alexander Compact was a nice touch. Also I’m in love with the nail file design! Definitely worth the retail price because the best items were the full sized items which total to over double what you’ll pay for the box, the eyeliner alone retails for $19.99!

That palette is so neat, but I agree, keep lip stuff out of there.

I loved that little nail file – Its adorable!
That nail file is SO cute! I agree that shadows and lippies do not belong together in palettes, the shadows get so powdery. Ick!

I’m getting more impressed with Beauty Box 5. When they first started it was in a bag with only samples. The eyeliner would be my favorite. I think that the compact would make a cute gift for a teen.

This month’s box was really nice! The compact would make me a little crazy too but I really like the eye shadow shades. I’ve seen that other people received different sets and they’ve all been pretty wearable shades. Overall, great box for the price. 🙂
This is a great value for the box. I always like a sample of hair products because I hate buying full size when it’s something new, you know?

Such a great box! I’m gonna pick it up if I can!
The palette is too cute, I liked mine except the mirror fell out while I was filming an unboxing heheh. I like my BB5 more than my Ipsy almost every month!

That nail file is amazing! Hahaha love it!

Just saw this box on Helen’s blog. I’m jealous about the Starlooks eyeliner in PLUM instead of boring old black that I go in my ipsy bag! And that little palette is adorable! I just applied for bb5 and my fingers are crossed that I get picked!

Haha! I just reviewed this the other day as well! I agree that this was an incredible value this month! The palette and the eyeliner alone are worth the price of admission!
