Another month, another beauty box! For those of you that aren’t familiar, Beauty Box 5 is a monthly subscription service that delivers five cosmetic samples to your door for $12 per month. If you’re overwhelmed when you shop for beauty products (or don’t have the time), a beauty box subscription is an easy and affordable solution. I’m sharing with you my January Beauty Box 5 review.
The body wash you can leave at your boyfriend’s place: H2O Plus Spa Sea Lotus Body Wash. It smells like the beach so I know I’ll use it when I travel this summer but in the meantime, I’ll leave in my shower caddy at my boyfriend’s place.
The best organic lip balm you’ll want to keep in your purse: Epic Blend Hemp Coconut Lip Balm. It smells pretty damn good and the gluten and petroleum free, non-GMO formula is a win in my book.
The moisturizer you’ll want to keep on your desk at work: Jergens Daily Moisturizer. I use their gradual tanning lotion religiously in the summer, but in the winter, I prefer this simple and unscented daily moisturizer. I cringe when I have dry, cracked hands and this soothes my cringe worthy moments right away.
The cuticle and nail oil elixir every girl needs in her nail polish arsenal: Nubar Cuticle & Nail Oil. This elixir is a must if you like to do at-home manicures, and it’s only $10!
The shower accessory all faux tan beauties need: Swissco Bath & Shower Exfoliating Gloves. I rarely rock a faux tan in the winter but I definitely recommend getting a pair of gloves. These only retail for $5!
For the most part, I found most of these items in my January box to be useful and realistic for an every day routine. Interestingly enough, I think all of these products would’ve been PERFECT for summer. Some of these will have to wait until temperatures start to rise.
Beauty Box 5 gifted me with a complimentary subscription for review purposes. All opinions in this post are my own.
What’s the difference between Beauty Box 5 and Birchbox? Thanks!
Beauty Box 5 is a monthly subscription for $12. Birchbox is a monthly subscription for $10 a month. From what I’ve noticed, Beauty Box 5 has larger sample sizes including makeup, hair, body and tools. Birchbox usually includes more luxury beauty brands. For the most part, all the samples I’ve tried from Beauty Box 5 are available in drugstores full-size. Hope this helps!
I am a lip balm addict and I’ve got to check this one out now!
