Beauty Box 5 - July 2014 Review

THE SCOOP:
Hey everyone! I'm back with another Beauty Box 5 review. The July BB5 theme is "Defining Moments," encouraging subscribers to celebrate the events that made us the women we are today. 
Beauty Box 5 is a subscription service that sends you 5 beauty products each month. The box is $12 a month for a month-to-month subscription, but you can save money if you buy a quarterly or yearly subscription. BB5 also offers free intro boxes regularly, so keep an eye on my blog for upcoming deals.

THE BOX:


This month's box is probably my favorite BB5 I have ever received! The product choices are perfect for me, and I will get so much use out of them.


HASK Argan Oil Intense Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment: Full size, $2.49
This hair mask works magic for my dry, damaged hair. It is thick and nourishing, and the results last for two weeks! You are supposed to apply half of the packet to wet hair, wait 10 minutes, and rinse. However, I bet I could get three uses out of this packet, as it is a very generous size. I love the way argan oil makes my hair feel so soft.


Body Drench Candy Licious Lips: Full size, $3.99
Made with beeswax, coconut oil, and vitamin E, this peppermint stick-flavored lip balm is so moisturizing! The smell reminds me of Christmas, but it can be used year-round because of the envigorating peppermint and soothing coconut oil.


Anna Naturals Glowing Mama Walnut Face & Body Scrub: Sample size
This multi-purpose scrub is vegan and infused with moisturizing botanicals for gentle exoliation. It is paraben-free and free of artificial fragrances. I really like how natural this product is, and I love that BB5 sends out a good mix of mainstream and natural products. I like to use this scrub on my heels in the shower to get off any dead skin. 


Revlon Bold Lacqer Mascara: Full size, $7.99
I have been wanting to try this mascara since it was released! I am a big fan of drugstore mascaras, but I have so many open that I am going to save this one until I finish up a different one. I am really excited because it is supposed to be a dark, shiny, lengthening formula. It also doesn't smudge or flake! Sign me up.


Starlooks Lip Liner in Bare: Full size, $12
I love the Starlooks brand; I own a blush palette, a pink lip liner, and a silver eyeliner. I was so excited to see that I received this liner in Bare, which is a perfect base for the Kylie Jenner nude lip that I am obsessed with lately. It's creamy and matte at the same time, and it prevents feathering. I will definitely get a lot of use out of this!

THE RECAP:
I received 5 beauty products in the July BB5 that are worth almost $30. Each item is on trend, summer-appropriate, and relevant to my lifestyle. I am really pleased with this month's box, and it is definitely my favorite that I have ever received from BB5. 
Make sure to subscribe by the end of July to get August's box!

I will start off saying I love this box this month. I got a Starbucks eye liner instead of lip liner which is fine by me. I had purchased this mascara before I ever got it in the box. The product seems a little messy on the brush and I'm forever scraping the brush off before applying. I'm tempted to toss the open tube and open the new one, in hopes the one I purchased was a fluke. Aside from that I love how the mascara looks on my lashes. Thank you for your review. :)

Thanks for your reply, Jessica! I think it's worth a shot to open up the new mascara - flukes happen. :)
