Beauty Box 5: March 2014

It’s time for a little Spring cleaning! Or at least that’s what the March 2014 Beauty Box 5 suggests.

“This month we’re making moves and making room by throwing out the makup we never use, putting a stop to bad habits, and focusing on our top beauty goal: clean, gorgeous skin.”

Sounds like a great plan to me!

About Beauty Box 5:

For $12/month subscribers will receive a box filled with a carefully selected mixture of five travel-sized, deluxe-sized and full-sized cosmetic products from luxury, commonly known brands, niche brands, eco-conscious and even vegan brands. Aimed at introducing women to new cosmetic products and educating them on best practices, Beauty Box 5 scours the market to find the best products for your lifestyle.

Tree Hut Moisturizing Hand Cream in Coconut Lime 3oz ($5.29) – This stuff smells amazing! Coconut is one of my favorite scents and this smells more coconut than lime.  I’ll keep this on my desk so I can use it as often as I can!

Design Essentials Natural Curl Enhancing Mousse 1.83oz ($3.99) – I’m very curious to try this one.  It contains olive oil and has a beautiful scent to it.  I do have very curly hair so I can’t wait to see if this works.

Bellapierre Cosmetics Makeup Base 0.25oz ($18.99) – I assumed this was just to use as an eyeshadow base but it says it can also be used as a concealer and as an illuminator also.  It does have a salmon tint to it so it may work well for dark circles.  Feels very creamy and silky smooth.

Jane’s Pick All Natural Soap ($?) – This tiny sliver of soap smells good but the scent is not marked so I don’t know what it is.  It’s a very small sample so it won’t last long.

Swissco Dual Sided Facial Pad ($2) – I assumed this was for my body when I first saw it.  It’s terry on one side and loofah on the other.  I would never rub a rough loofah on my face (ouch!) so I think I will just save this for my legs and arms.

I had been disappointed by the last few months of Beauty Box 5 but this month has redeemed them for me.  I really enjoyed this month’s products which had a retail value of around $30.27.  You can subscribe to Beauty Box 5 here.

I am being sent this subscription service free of charge by the company.  All thoughts and opinions are my own and I am in no way being paid for the product reviews.
