Beauty Box 5 May Edition Review

I went overboard with the monthly subscriptions this month but thats just because I got coupon codes so the first ones were free. I received the May box like 2 days ago and I have to say, this is the most disappoint box I've ever received. This is even worse than BirchBox. We only got 5 samples that were true sample sizes. 


The first product that we received was Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion it was a small bottle of lotion and it helps improve the health of your skin. You immediately feel your skin smoother by the first use. The full bottle retails for $8.49 and its a great lotion.



The next product is from H2O and I actually love this brand. I buy the majority of this brand in Marshalls and TJMaxx but I love it. Its a great skincare brand. I love their body scrubs and their masks. I had high hopes for this lotion and the second I put it on my hands I was amazed. I need to get the full version of this. It leaves your hands moisturized and not feeling greasy or anything. The smell is regular nothing 'omg' special. This retails for $15 but I guarantee I can find it in Marshalls or TJMaxx for around $5.99



The next product are the Ban Total Refresh Cooling Body Cloths. I also received one of these in the Total Beauty Test Tube box and in this box I received 3 more samples. They are basically face wipes for the body. They are to refresh your body by leave you feeling cool. These are good for after the gym or after a long hot day in NYC. These are particularly good because they do not leave you with a gross sticky feeling like other wipes do. These leave you with a cooling powdery finish and this is what leaves you feeling actually refreshed. This retails for $3 and you can find them in drugstores.



The next product is a perfume sample of Harvey Prince Hello. I am usually not fond of perfume samples since I usually get a lot of those in the Sephora online purchases and after a while I just have way too much to use up before they get bad. This perfume was actually really good though. It has a floral Spring smell to it. It was light and not too heavy. Didn't give me a headache or anything. It says that it has hints of grapefruit, mandarin, forsythia and plumeria. The full bottle retails for $55.


The final product was probably the biggest sample but it did say it was still sample size. This was the Cattiva Precisione Eye Liner. Its a good liner because its not only waterproof but its also retractable so no need to worry about sharpening. This is the product that I would use the most. It doesn't smudge and it's good for tightlining not because it stays but because it doesn't smudge all over the corners of your eyes. Its not a messy eyeliner. This came in black and it retails for $20. 

Again, this monthly box retails for $12 and there are no full size samples. These are samples that you would get in a Sephora or in the mail. It just wasn't worth the $12 especially since with Ipsy you get full size products. I already cancelled my subscription for this one.
